The Prophecy Project:
Session 33
WELCOME… To session number thirty-three of the prophecy project. This session is a continuation of my session 32, an understanding of angelic activity in the last days… I went beyond the information covered in scripture…to the book of Enoch….especially..the book of Watchers. For those of you who are not familiar with the book of Enoch let me give a basic understanding. First of all, I don’t see Enoch as a part of the canon of scripture….The Bible as it is currently assembled is complete in spiritual doctrine and understanding and will bring the believer into a relationship with God and see them safely through this life and into eternity. It is not necessary to read any other books….But, with that said, there are books which clarify God’s truths and edify the believer when read prayerfully.
The book of Enoch which I referenced in my last session was found in Ethiopia. I explained the books origins… and how it is a pre-Christian book. known to be from at least 200-300 BC…and was also found in the caves of Qumran…near the Dead sea. If you want to Know more about it…please watch my previous session…I don’t want to spend time in this session…I used Enoch to explain the specific conditions existing at the time just before Noah’s flood. because Jesus tells us (in Matthew 24:37-38) that the same situation will exist at the time he returns… at the end of the age, to judge the world.
(37) But as the days of No’e were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that No’e entered into the ark.
We know from Enoch why these activities were being judged. “They” are the giants…and they were eating anything and everything, and their appetite was insatiable. They were also drinking, but not just for thirst, they were drinking blood, an act strictly forbidden by God….Have you noticed the current infatuation in society with the drinking of blood?….Marrying? why is it wrong to marry? Its not…God condones marriage between humans…but that’s not what was happening in Noah’s day…Angels were marrying human women, having children with them. This marriage was wrong and caused God’s judgment….Given in marriage…When a women is to be married, she is given by her father to the groom. The father’s blessing is a way to protect young women from being victims, the father was to protect his daughter from these lustful angels. The fathers of Noah’s time failed. They were fooled into believing that the marriage was acceptable before God. this is a breakdown of God’s family unit. The spirits of the Children of these marriages had no place to go when their the body died. They have no hope of salvation, of spending eternity in God’s presence in heaven. They instead wander the earth as angry disenfranchised spirits…. demons with a hatred for women and God because of their plight and situation…they know they will be judged at the end of the age…nothing to look forward to…….but, remember the Nephilim (giants) were in the process of destroying all mankind (devouring them) had God not destroyed them first….And now yet again… in the last days…all flesh would be destroyed unless God intercedes to save man and the earth from the attack of the fallen angels, demons of the past and the deceived humans which will be worshipping them in the last days.
Matthew 24:21-22
(21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
So… where do we see angels attacking men in the last days? Lets read Revelations 12:7-9 &12-13
(7) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him…..(12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil (an angel) is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child…(Messiah).
The fallen angels are forced out of the second heavens, by Michael and his angels (God’s holy angels). I have pointed out in previous sessions that there are at least 52 million fallen angels (1/3 of the angels in heaven). To put this into perspective…every army, all the reserves…all the militias…of every nation on the earth combined! is about 64 million…The actual men in the field is a fraction of this….There will be a fallen angel for every soldier in the world…The results of this event will change the spiritual dynamics of the earth…I don’t believe the angels will be discrete …as they normally are, they have nothing to loss. They will likely present themselves to the world…not as fallen angels…but as someone who wishes to help us defend ourselves…they will seek to lead man against God. (to unify the nations Rev. 19) We are told WOE to the inhabiters of the earth. Woe is an exclamation of grief. We are told that the Devil and his angels are angry…having great wrath…The word great is “mega”….mega anger towards God’s people and in fact all the people of the earth….If you feel that if you are neutral concerning the things of God….and not going to take sides in the war…and hoping they will leave you alone….I don’t see that happening…all flesh would be destroyed if God does not step in to stop it. you will still be a target of the great wrath of Satan and his angels…and because you have not chosen to serve God you will be judged by God at his appearing. There is no such thing as being neutral when these events take place.
Now let’s look at Revelation 9:1-12
(1) And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (2) And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (3) And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. (4) and it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. (6) And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (7) And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. (8) And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. (9) And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. (10) And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. (11) And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (12) One woe is passed; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Now…first of all… God sends an angel to earth from heaven…with the key to open a prison in the earth…and to allow the incarcerated out. This prison is called the bottomless pit and we are told in other scriptures that those who are in the pit can only cling to the sides of the pit because there is no bottom, essentially everything is up from the middle of the pit. it has a king and his name is the “sun angel” Apollyon, and he is the leader of those held in the pit. The pit is not destroyed by God’s angel, but only opened… it can be and will be reused later. The sun angel is known by many names but the most recognizable would be Lucifer and Satan… and to a lesser extent Asshur, the chief Assyrian God
Upon opening the pit there arises smoke from within the earth… the scene will appear in the natural to be like a volcanic eruption… and the smoke will be so dense as to block out the sun… but the greater problem will be the creatures which come out of the smoke… they appear as locust.. essentially grasshoppers… they have wings and they are a swarm. now… they are not grasshoppers…insects…they only look like locust because they fly and swarm…they are also told not to do what locusts do… to eat and destroy plants and trees… and they can only target certain people… those not sealed by God…when they get closer we find they are draped with wrappings like a war horse… They have faces like men! and metal helmets (crowns) like gold… but they’re not men…They have teeth like lions… for tearing and devouring flesh. They have a weapon by which they can inflict a wound on men… the sting of their tail… but they cannot kill men… they can only torment them… they are allowed to move and fly about the earth and torment men for five full months…The affliction of these creatures… which I believe are actually some of Satan’s fallen Seraphim… is so great that men just want to die! but they can’t!!. death flees from them…they suffer for their sin. There is no such thing as being neutral at that time. Seraphim are the only beings which fit the descriptions of these creatures and Satan drew them away from heaven when he fell. Some people believe that these locusts are demons. Demons are disembodied spirits which have tormented people for thousands of years…certainly from Jesus’ time…Jesus dealt with them through prayer and fasting…and taught his followers and disciples to defeat them also through the authority of the believer in his name. There is no indication that demons have been incarcerated but rather are free to afflict men down through the ages…I don’t believe that the locust of this account are just demons… I believe they are angels and have very real angelic bodies.
Now…I have four minutes left in this session to make sure that anyone watching this video will know how to deal with the information you’ve just heard. When I teach a bible college class, I know that everyone in the class has an understanding of the deliverance provided by God for them… But This video can be watched anyone with the proper device, and you may not understand what the bible teaches concerning you and your future…. In Genesis chapter 4 Eve (who is the mother of all men) has her first baby and makes this statement: “I have gotten an enoshe from the Lord” The term enoshe became the name for all the children of Adam. The term enoshe is now interpreted as “Man” in the bible. The meaning of enoshe is “incurably sick, and desperately wicked” What an amazing thing to say about your baby!… The truth is that Eve saw in her child the same sickness and fallen nature that her and Adam received when they sinned in the garden. Their child was a chip off the ole block as they say. I am sure she was very disappointed…. You and I and indeed every person from that time to this day has this enoshe condition. Everyone is going to die and everyone has flaws in character which cause us to fall short of the values that God has set for our conduct. We are told in Romans 3:10 “there is none righteous no not one.” God’s values are a reflection of his nature, his character…. and he cannot change his nature… So man cannot come into his presence without being changed. We are the product of one man’s sin (Adam) Romans 5:12 “Wherefore , as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned”….when you and I go to buy an item… something we desire we must first produce something of equal or greater value… you can’t drive the new car home from the dealer until you’ve paid for it. The price for man’s life and spirit is too great, to valuable for us through our own efforts to afford. So all is lost for man. But God devised a plan by which he would pay the price for man’s spirit, return man to righteous position. He himself was the only one who was more valuable than man. he prepared a body for himself “Emanuel” God with man, This Man (Yeshua) lived a sinless life John 8:29 “I do always that which pleases him (my Father)” he allowed himself to be sacrificed, yet without sin, to purchase our lives for God. Jesus is called in scripture “the last Adam” I want to read I Corinthians 15:21-24
(21) For since by man came death, by man came the resurrection of the dead. (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (23) But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; Afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. (24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the father;
Your goal should be… to be Christ’s at his coming. This is accomplished by a simple prayer of; desire (I want to know you) and acceptance (of his sacrifice and the price paid, the blood shed) and admitting your need of forgiveness.
You don’t need to be in a church to pray this prayer, it does not need to be Sunday, you don’t need a friend with you, you only need to speak (out loud) to God, in your own words and language your prayer.
..Stop here..
I need to close this session at this point, Thank you for watching.
