The Judgment of the Fallen Angels – The Beginning of Creation and the End for the Corrupted · truthunedited

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Before time began, a cosmic war erupted in the very
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: throne room of God. Angels of light became agents of darkness,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and creation itself was torn apart by rebellion. What you're
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: about to witness is not mythology. It's the hidden truth
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: behind every evil that has ever plagued humanity, from the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: first sin to the final judgment. The fallen angels have
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: orchestrated mankind's destruction, but their time is running out. The
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: prophecies are unfolding, the seals are breaking, and the lake
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of fire awaits. This is the untold story of the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: greatest betrayal in history, and why every soul on Earth
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hangs in the balance. The end has already been written,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but do you know which side you're on? In the beginning,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: before Earth was formed, before time itself began, Heaven was perfect.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: God's throne room was filled with angels, each one created
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: for a special purpose and role. The Book of his
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: zee Keel tells us about these amazing beings. You were
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the anointed cherub who covers I established you. You were
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: on the holy mountain of God. You walked back and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: forth in the midst of fiery stones. These weren't just
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: any angels. They were powerful beings with different jobs, ranks,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and responsibilities. In God's eternal kingdom, the heavenly realm was
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: organized in perfect order. At the highest level were the seraphim,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: magnificent beings with six wings who flew around God's throne.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Isaiah saw them and wrote, above it stood seraphims. Each
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: one had six wings. With twain he covered his face,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and with twain he covered his feet. And with twain
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he did fly. And one cried unto another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of his glory. These creatures were pure fire, burning with holiness,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and completely devoted to worshiping God. Below them were the Cherubim,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mighty guardians of God's presence. Ezekiel describes their incredible appearance.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And everyone had four faces, and everyone had four wings,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and their feet were straight feet, and the soul of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: their feet was like the soul of a calf's foot,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. These
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: beings had the face of a man, a lion, an ox,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and an eagle, representing all of creation under God's rule.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: At the top of this heavenly order stood Lucifer, the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: morning Star. He was the most beautiful angel God ever made.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: His body was covered with precious stones like emeralds, sapphires,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and diamonds that caught and reflected God's glory. His voice
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was like music itself, leading all of heaven in perfect worship.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The prophet Ezekiel describes him in stunning detail. You were
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Every precious stone was your covering, the sardius topaz and diamond,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: beryl onyx and jasper sapphire, turquoise and emerald with gold.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you on the day you were created. Lucifer wasn't just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: another angel. He was the covering cherub, the one who
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: stood closest to God's throne. His job was to lead
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: worship and protect God's glory. He had access to places
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: other angels couldn't go. He walked on the holy Mountain
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of God among the fiery stones. Every part of him
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was created for worship, with musical instruments built into his
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: very being. The archangels carried out God's most important commands
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: across the universe. Michael was the warrior, Gabriel was the messenger,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and others had their own special roles. Regular angels served
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: as messengers and warriors, each one perfectly obedient and filled
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with joy. Every thing in heaven worked together like a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: beautiful symphony. Each angel knew their place and loved their job.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: There was no jealousy, no fighting, no sadness, no confusion.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: When God spoke, everyone listened with perfect attention. When he
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: gave commands, everyone obeyed with joy and excitement. This was
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the way things were meant to be forever and ever.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But something terrible began to grow inside Lucifer's heart. Pride
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: crept in like a deadly poison, slowly corrupting his thoughts
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and desires. He started looking at his own beauty instead
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of God's glory. He began thinking he deserved more honor,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: more power, more praise from the other angels. Instead of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: using his gifts to worship God, he started admiring himself.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The Bible tells us exactly what happened in Isaiah chapter fourteen.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: For you have said in your heart, I will ascend
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: into heaven. I will exalt my th above the stars
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of God. This wasn't just a passing thought. It was
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a deliberate decision that grew stronger each day. Lucifer's thoughts
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: became darker and more rebellious with each moment. He didn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: just want to be like God. He wanted to replace
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: God completely and rule the universe himself. His prideful heart
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: spoke these terrible words, I will sit on the mount
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of the congregation, on the farther sides of the north.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: will be like the most High. These five I will
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: statements showed how completely pride had taken over his mind
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and heart. Each declaration was a step further away from
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: God and deeper into rebellion. I will ascend, he wanted
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to rise higher than his position. I will exalt my throne.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He wanted his own kingdom. I will sit on the mount.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He wanted God's place of authority. I will ascend above
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the clouds. He wanted to be higher than heaven itself.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I will be like the most High. He wanted to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be God. But Lucifer was clever and cunning. He didn't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: keep these thoughts to himself, and he didn't rebel alone.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: He began whispering to other angels, planting seeds of doubt
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about God's leadership. He made them question whether God really
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: deserved all the worship and honor. Why should we serve him?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: He whispered in their ears. Look at how powerful and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: beautiful we are. Don't we deserve better treatment? Shouldn't we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have more freedom to do what we want. His words
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: were like spiritual poison, infecting the minds of angels who
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: had never questioned God before. He painted pictures of a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: better heaven, where they would be free to do whatever
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they wanted. He promised them positions of power and authority
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if they would follow him instead of God. Slowly, quietly,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: he began building an army of reis who would follow
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: him in his plan to take over heaven. Lucifer was
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: patient and strategic. He didn't rush into open rebellion right away.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He spent time convincing angels in different ranks and positions.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He appealed to their desires for more power, more recognition,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: more freedom. He made God's perfect rule seem like slavery,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and his rebellion seem like liberation. His influence spread like
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a spiritual virus, infecting angel after angel. With the same
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: prideful thoughts that had consumed his own heart, he turned
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: God's perfect creation against their creator, preparing for the most
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: terrible war Heaven would ever see. The rebellion finally exploded
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: into open war. The Book of Revelation gives us a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: clear and dramatic picture of what happened, and war broke
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not prevail, nor was a place found for them in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Heaven any longer. This wasn't a small disagreement or a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: minor conflict. This was total war that shook the very
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: foundations of Heaven itself. Michael, the Archangel, God's mighty warrior,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and the Prince of Angels, led the loyal angels against
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Lucifer's rebel army. Michael had served God faithfully since his creation,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't about to let a proud rebel destroy
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: God's perfect kingdom. The battle was intense and cosmic, beyond
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: anything we can imagine. Heaven itself shook as these powerful
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: beings clashed with weapons of light and spiritual force. Angels
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: who had once sung together in perfect harmony, now fought
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: against each other in the most terrible civil war ever seen.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The sound of their battle echoed through every corner of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the heavenly realm. Flashes of divine power lit up the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: sky as armies of angels fought for the future of creation.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: These weren't weak beings fighting with small weapons. Angels are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: incredibly powerful creatures, and when they go to war, the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: entire universe feels it. They fought with swords of fire,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: shields of light, and power that could move mountains and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: shake stars. The loyal angels fought with righteousness and divine authority.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The rebel angels fought with rage and desperation, knowing that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: if they lost, they would lose everything. The fight wasn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: just about power or position. It was about who would
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: rule the universe. Would it be God, the loving creator
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: who made everything and deserved all worship, or would it
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be Lucifer, the proud rebel, who wanted to steal God's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: throne and rule according to his own selfish desires. Every
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: angel had to choose a side. There was no middle ground,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: no neutral position. You were either for God or against him.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: As the raged across heaven, something heartbreaking happened. The Bible
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: tells us that his tale drew a third of the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. These
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: stars were angels, and a third of all God's angels
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: chose to follow Lucifer instead of staying loyal to their creator.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Imagine the pain in God's heart as he watched his
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: own creatures turn against him. These weren't just weak angels
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: who were easily fooled. Some of them were powerful princes
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and rulers in the heavenly kingdom. They threw away their positions,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: their honor, their eternal joy, and their future for a lie.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: But God's power was infinite and the outcome was never
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: really in doubt. Michael and his angels fought with divine
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: authority behind them, while Lucifers forces fought against their own creator.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The war ended with total and complete defeat for the rebels.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The war ended with total defeat for the rebels. God's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: power was greater than anything Lucifer could imagine or overcome.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: All of his planning, all of his convincing, all of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: his promises to his followers meant nothing when faced with
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the infinite power of the Almighty. The moment of judgment
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: came swiftly and decisively, as Revelation twelve nine records. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the great Dragon was cast out, that serpent of old,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He was cast to the earth, and his angels were
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: cast out with him. The fall from heaven to Earth
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was not gentle or gradual, Like lightning striking the ground
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: with tremendous force, Lucifer and his followers were hurled down
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: from the highest heaven to the lowest Earth. The distance
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: was not just physical, but spiritual, from the place of
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: perfect light and joy to a realm of darkness and sorrow.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus himself witnessed this dramatic moment and later told his disciples,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. This wasn't
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: just a change of location. It was a complete transformation
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: of identity and nature. The beautiful morning Star became a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: dark prince of lies and deception. His name changed from
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Lucifer meaning light bearer, to Satan, meaning adversary and opponent.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He who had once led worship now became the enemy
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of everything good and holy. All the angels who had
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: rebelled were transformed in that terrible instant. Their bodies of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: light became twisted and dark. Their beautiful voices that had
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: once praised God became harsh and evil, capable only of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: lies and curses. They lost their positions of honor and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: became outcasts, banned forever from God's presence. The magnificent wings
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that had carried them in joyful service now became symbols
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of their fallen state. The perfect beings they once were
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: became demons, filled with hatred and bent on destroying everything
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: good God had made. Their punishment was complete and final.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: They could never return to Heaven, never again stand in
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: God's presence, never again know the joy and peace they
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: had thrown away. The door was closed forever, and there
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was no second chance, no possibility of redemption for them.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But their story was far from over Cast down to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: earth in rage and desperation, they would now turn their
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: fury against God's newest and most beloved creation, humanity. If
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they couldn't have heaven, they would make sure that humans
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: couldn't have it either. If they couldn't worship God, they
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: would try to stop everyone else from worshiping him too.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Their rebellion had failed, but their war against God was
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: just beginning in a new and terrible Once on Earth,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the fallen Angels didn't just sit around feeling sorry for
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: themselves or accept their punishment quietly. They immediately began their
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: work of corruption and revenge. They looked at God's beautiful creation,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the perfect world he had made for humanity, and decided
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to ruin it completely. They saw how much God loved
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: human beings, and their jealous hatred drove them to destroy
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that relationship. If they couldn't have heaven, they would make
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sure Earth became a hell. The fallen angels possessed knowledge
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and power that was never meant for human minds. They
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: knew secrets about the spiritual realm, about the future, about
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: forces and powers that could harm or control. They understood
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: how creation worked in ways that humans were never supposed
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to know, and they were determined to use this forbidden
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: knowledge as a weapon against humanity. Genesis chapter six gives
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: us a clear glimpse of what started happening now. It
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: came to pass when men began to multiply on the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: face of the earth and daughters were born to them,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that the sons of God saw the daughters of men
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that they were beautiful, and they took wives of all
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: whom they chose. These sons of God were the fallen
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: angels who had taken physical form to carry out their
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: plan of corruption. This wasn't just about attraction or desire.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It was a calculated attack on God's design for humanity.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: They didn't just observe humans from a distance. They interfered
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: directly with God's plan by mixing their spiritual nature with
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: human flesh. This created a corruption that went beyond anything
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: God had intended or designed. The very foundation of human
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: life was being twisted and polluted by these rebel angels,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: who refused to accept their defeat. They were determined to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: corrupt the human race so completely that God would have
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to destroy his own creation. It was the ultimate act
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of revenge against the God who had cast them out
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of heaven. If they couldn't attack God directly, they would
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: attack what he loved most, his human children. They would
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: poison the blood line, corrupt the genetics, and destroy the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: purity that God had built into humanity. This wasn't random destruction.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It was a strategic plan to force God's hand. They
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: knew that God's justice required him to judge sin, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: they were creating so much sin and corruption that God
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: would have no choice but to destroy the earth. In
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: their twisted thinking, they believed they could force God to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: become the destroyer of his own creation. They would make
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: God choose between his justice and his love, and either
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: way they would consider it a victory. Among the fallen angels,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there was a special group called the Watchers. These were
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: angels whose original job was to watch over humanity and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: report back to God about how his newest creation was doing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: They were supposed to be guardians and protectors, making sure
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: humans were safe and following God's ways. But after the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: fall they became something much more dangerous and evil. The
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Book of Enoch, which Jude quotes in the New Testament,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: tells us they made a terrible oath together on Mount Hermon.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: This wasn't a casual decision, It was a formal covenant
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of evil. Two hundred of these Watchers gathered on this
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: mountain and swore to corrupt mankind completely and thoroughly. They
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: knew this would bring God's judgment on them, but they
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: didn't care. Their hatred for God was stronger than their
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: fear of punishment. They divided up their evil work like
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a twisted business plan, each one taking responsibility for different
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: areas of corruption. Azazel would teach humans how to make
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: weapons of war swords, knives, shields, and armor. He would
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: show them how to kill each other more efficiently. Semjaza
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: would show them enchantments and root cutting for magical purposes.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Armaros would teach the resolving of enchantments and counter magic.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Barakijal would teach astrology and how to read the stars
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: for fortune telling. Coca Bell would teach the constellations and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: their supposed meanings. Ezekiel would teach the knowledge of the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: clouds and weather control. Arakiel would teach the signs of
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the Earth and how to interpret natural phenomena for divination.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Shamziel would teach the signs of the Sun and solar magic.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Sariel would teach the course of the moon and lunar magic.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Each one had their specialty in corrupting human knowledge. Others
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: focused on different areas of corruption. Some would show humans
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: how to use make up and jewelry to increase vanity
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and lust, turning natural beauty into a trap for sin.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Some taught astrology and the reading of signs in the sky,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: turning humans away from trusting God to trusting in false predictions.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Others revealed the secrets of magic and witchcraft, giving humans
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: power that came from demons instead of God. Jude warns
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: us about these rebels in his letter, and the angels
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: who did not keep their proper domain, but left their
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: own abode he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: for the judgment of the Great Day. These watchers didn't
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: just fall from heaven accidentally. They actively chose to leave
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: their assigned place and corrupt the earth. They abandoned their
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: responsibility to protect humans and instead became their destroyers. Their
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: punishment would be severe and eternal, but first they would
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: cause tremendous damage to God's creation. They would introduce knowledge
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and practices that would spread like poison through the human race,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: creating generations of corruption and evil that would require God's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: direct intervention to stop. The mixing of fallen angels with
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: human women produced something monstrous and unnatural. Genesis six four
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: tells us there were giants on the earth in those days,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and also afterward when the sons of God came in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to the daughters of men, and they bore children. To them,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: those were the mighty men, who were of old men
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of renown. These giants, called Nephelim in Hebrew, were not
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: normal humans at all. They were hybrid creatures that should
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: never have existed. They were huge, beyond anything natural, powerful
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: beyond human limits, and completely evil in their hearts and minds.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: They had supernatural strength and abilities from them angelic fathers,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: mixed with human appetites and desires from their mothers, but
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: their appetites were twisted and terrible, growing far beyond anything
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: normal or healthy. They didn't just eat food like regular people.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: They consumed everything in their path, including other humans. Their
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: hunger was never satisfied, and their desires were always evil.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Some of these giants grew to be fifteen feet tall,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: others twenty feet, and some even taller than that. Their
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: strength was beyond anything a normal human could imagine or resist.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They could tear apart armies, destroy cities, and kill hundreds
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: of people without breaking a sweat. But their size and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: strength weren't the worst things about them. Their hearts were
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: filled with evil and violence that came straight from their
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: demonic fathers. Every thought they had was about causing pain, fear,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and destruction. They took pleasure in hurting innocent people and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: making others suffer. They were like walking nightmares that terrorized
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: everyone around them. The earth became filled with violence like
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: never before in history. Genesis six eleven tells us the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: filled with violence. These giants terrorized normal people, taking whatever
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: they wanted and destroying anyone who tried to oppose them.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: They built cities and kingdoms based entirely on fear and power.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They made themselves kings and rulers, forcing people to worship
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: them and served their evil desires. They taught humans new
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: ways to sin, new ways to hurt each other, new
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: ways to rebel against God. They introduced warfare on a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: scale never seen before. They showed humans how to be
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: cruel and heartless. They spread their evil influence everywhere they went,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: corrupting not just individuals but entire civilizations. Every thought of
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: their hearts was only evil continually, just like the Bible
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: says about humanity in general during this time. But the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: giants were worse because they had supernatural power to make
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: their evil thoughts reality. They turned God's beautiful world into
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a nightmare of horror and bloodshed, all because the fallen
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: angels refused to accept their punishment and stay away from
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: human affairs. The violence wasn't just physical, it was spiritual
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and moral too. They corrupted human nature itself, introducing levels
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of evil that humans had never known before. They made
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: cruelty normal, made violence entertainment, and made evil seem attractive
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and powerful. The beautiful world God had created was becoming
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a hell on earth. God watched all this happening from heaven,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and his heart was filled with grief beyond description, the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Bible tells us in Genesis six six, and the Lord
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: was sorry that he had made man on the earth,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and he was grieved in his heart. This wasn't the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: world he had planned when he created everything. This wasn't
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the future he wanted for humanity when he breathed life
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: into Adam. This wasn't the relationship he desired with his
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: human children. The corruption was spreading faster than a disease.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: The giants were multiplying and growing stronger. The forbidden knowledge
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was being passed down through generations. Normal humans were learning
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to be as evil as their supernatural oppressors. Something had
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to be done before the corruption spread even further and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: destroyed every trace of goodness and purity on earth. But
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: God didn't act in anger alone, and he didn't make
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: hasty decisions. He acted with a plan that would accomplish
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: multiple purposes at the same time, save humanity, judge the rebels,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and start fresh with a clean earth. Genesis six seven
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: records his decision. So the Lord said, I will destroy
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: man whom I have created from the face of the earth,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: both man and beast, creeping thing, and birds of the air,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: for I am sorry that I have made them. The
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: judgment would be complete and thorough, washing away all the corruption.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yet even in this moment of universal judgment, God showed
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: mercy and grace. He found one man who was still righteous,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: still uncorrupted, still faithful, Noah. The Bible says Noah was
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: perfect in his generations, meaning his family line hadn't been
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: corrupted by the fallen angels, his genetic makeup was still
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: purely human, and his heart was still devoted to God.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Genesis six nine tells us Noah was a just man,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. God would
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: use Noah and his family to start over to give
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: humanity a fresh beginning. Free from the corruption of the giants,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and the fallen angels gave Noah detailed instructions for building
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: an ark that would save him, his family, and representatives
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of all the animal kinds. The flood was coming, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it would wash away all the corruption the fallen angels
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: had brought to earth. But even as God prepared to
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: cleanse the earth, the story of the fallen angels was
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: far from over. Their judgment was certain, but their influence
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: would continue in new and different ways. The war between
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: good and evil, between God's kingdom and Satan's rebellion would
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: continue until the very end of time itself. God's justice
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: moved swiftly and decisively against the watchers who had corrupted
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: humanity through their forbidden teachings and unholy unions. These fallen angels,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: who had deliberately left their assigned heavenly positions, would face
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a special punishment that was far different and more severe
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: than the other demons roaming the earth. They had committed
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the ultimate crime by abandoning their sacred duties and corrupting
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: God's perfect creation with forbidden knowledge and genetic pollution. The
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: apostle Peter tells us exactly what happened to them. For
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: cast them down to Hell and delivered them into chains
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of darkness to be reserved for judgment, the mighty Archangels
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: became God's chosen executioners of divine justice in this cosmic punishment. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and Uriel received their orders directly from the throne of
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: God himself. Each one had a specific role in carrying
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: out the sentence against these rebels who had violated the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: fundamental laws of Heaven and Earth. They moved with the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: full authority of Heaven behind them, and absolutely nothing could stop,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: delay or interfere with their divine mission. These mighty warriors,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: who had fought alongside Michael in the Great War against Satan,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: now had a new and terrible task to ensure that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the worst offenders among the fallen angels faced immediate and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: permanent punishment. De guie. Binding of these watches wasn't accomplished
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: with ordinary chains made of metal that could rust, break
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: or be escaped from. These were supernatural chains of spiritual darkness,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: forged by God's own infinite power and specifically designed to
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: hold beings of immense spiritual strength and cunning. Second Peter
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: describes their hopeless condition. God did not spare angels when
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: they sinned, but sent them to Hell, putting them in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: chains of darkness to be held for judgment. These chains
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: were absolutely unbreakable, eternal in their duration, and actually grew
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: tighter and more restrictive with every attempt to escape or
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: break free. The prison, prepared specifically for the watchers was
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: located deep beneath the Earth's surface, in a place the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Bible calls Tartarus, a realm of spiritual torment and darkness.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: This wasn't just a dark cave or underground chamber that
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: humans might discover. It was a spiritual prison existing in
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: another dimension, designed specifically for fallen angels who had committed
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the most serious crimes against Heaven. The Book of Enoch
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: describes in detail how they were bound hand and foot
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: with unbreakable chains and cast into the deep valleys and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: chasms of the Earth, where they would remain in agony
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: until the final judgment at the end of time. This
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: imprisonment wasn't temporary detention or a holding period before trial.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It was permanent, eternal imprisonment until the end of time itself.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Jude confirms their hopeless fate with these words, and the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: their own abode, he has reserved in everlasting chains under
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: darkness for the judgment of the great day. The Watchers,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: who had once taught humanity forbidden knowledge about warfare, magic, astrology,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and corruption, now faced an eternity of complete darkness, silence,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and isolation. Unable to continue their destructive influence on God's creation,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the archangels carried out their divine task with perfect precision,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: unwavering determination, and absolute authority from the throne of God.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: One by one, each of the two hundred watchers was seized,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: bound with chains of darkness, and dragged screaming to their
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: underground prison. Their cries of rage and curses echoed through
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the earth as they finally realized their fate was completely
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: sealed and there would be no escape, no appeal, no
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: second conchance. They had thought they were powerful enough to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: corrupt God's creation without facing any consequences, but now they
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: learned the hard truth that God's justice always wins in
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the end, no matter how long it takes. The time
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for divine judgment had finally come upon the entire corrupted earth.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: God looked down from heaven at the world filled with violence, corruption,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and the hybrid offspring of fallen angels, and he made
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the difficult decision to start over completely with a clean slate.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: The situation had become so utterly hopeless that every thought
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of man's heart was only evil continually, and the very
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: genetic foundation of humanity was being polluted beyond repair. Genesis
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: records his solemn decision, and God said to Noah, the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: end of all flesh has come before me, for the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: earth is filled with violence through them, and behold, I
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: will distr roy them with the earth. The Great Flood
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't just heavy rain or a local disaster affecting one region.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: It was a cosmic event of unimaginable magnitude that completely
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: reshaped the entire world and reset the course of human history.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: This was divine judgment on a scale never seen before
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: or since, affecting every living creature on the planet. Genesis
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: seven eleven describes the incredible magnitude of this world changing event.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: second month, the seventeenth day of the month. On that day,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: all the fountains of the great Deep were broken up,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and the windows of Heaven were opened. The waters came
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: simultaneously from above and below, covering everything that had the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: breath of life. For forty days and forty nights without interruption.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: The rain poured down from heaven with unstoppable force. But
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the water didn't just come from the sky Above. The massive,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: deep underground springs and fountains burst open with tremendous power,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: adding their enormous flow to the deluge from above. The
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: highest mountains disappeared completely under the rising waters. Entire cities
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: built by the giants over generations were swallowed up and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: lost forever beneath the waves. Every trace of the corrupted
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: civilization that had polluted the earth vanished completely. Beneath the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: universal flood, The earth that had been contaminated by fallen
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: angel DNA and forbidden knowledge was being thoroughly washed clean
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: by God's judgment. The mighty Nephelim giants, those supernatural beings
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: who had terrorized normal humanity for generations with their violence
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: and cannibalism, suddenly found that all their incredible strength and
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: size meant absolutely nothing against the unstoppable power of God's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: right lias judgment they couldn't swim to safety because there
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: was no safety anywhere on the entire earth. They couldn't
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: build boats fast enough or towers high enough to escape
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the rising waters. Genesis seven twenty one tells us the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: complete result, and all flesh died that moved on the earth,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: birds and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: creeps on the earth, and every man. Noah's massive arc
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: became the single vessel of God's mercy in the midst
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of his universal judgment. For exactly one hundred and twenty years,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: faithful Noah had built this enormous ship according to God's
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: precise specifications, measuring three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and thirty cubits high. People had mocked him relentlessly for
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: building a boat in a place where there was no ocean,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: calling him crazy, foolish, and deluded. But now his patient
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: obedience to God's command saved his life and secured the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: future of the entire human race. Genesis seven twenty three
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: records the complete devastation. So he destroyed all living things
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: which were on the face of the ground, both man
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and cattle, creeping thing, and bird of the air, they
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: were with him in the Ark remained alive. The global
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: flood lasted for exactly one hundred and fifty days before
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the waters finally began to recede and dry land appeared
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: once again. When Noah and his family finally stepped off
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the Ark on to the completely transformed ground, they were
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: walking on an entirely new earth that had been cleansed
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: of all corruption. All the genetic pollution was gone forever.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: All the violent giants were dead and buried. All the
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: forbidden knowledge and evil technologies had been washed away and lost.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: God had given humanity a fresh start, a completely clean slate,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: and a brand new beginning, free from the destructive influence
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: of the fallen Watchers and their corrupted offspring. When the
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: floodwaters finally killed all the Nephelim giants, something completely unexpected
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and deeply troubling happened that would create new problems for humanity.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Because these creatures were unnatural hybrids, half fallen angel and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: half human, their deaths created a situation that had never
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: occurred before in God's creation. The Book of Enoch explains
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that when the giants died in the flood, their spirits
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: didn't go to the same place as normal human spirits
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: at death. Instead, they became wandering, restless demons, trapped on
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the earth, filled with endless rage and supernatural hunger. These
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: disembodied spirits of the Dead Giants were fundamentally different from
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the original fallen angels in several important ways. They had
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: never lived the glorious presence of God in heaven, so
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: they had no memory of perfect peace, joy, or divine worship.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: They had never experienced the beauty and harmony of the
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: celestial realm, so they didn't understand what they had lost
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: through rebellion. All they had ever known was the earth, violence, corruption,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and an endless appetite for destruction that could never be satisfied.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: They became the demons that would plague and torment humanity
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: for thousands of years to come. Unlike the Watchers, who
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: were bound in chains and imprisoned in the depths of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the earth, these demon spirits of the Dead Giants were
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: completely free to roam throughout the earth and cause whatever
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: trouble they could. But they faced a serious and desperate
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: problem that drove them to constant frustration. They no longer
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: had physical bodies to inhabit or control. They were trapped
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: between the spiritual and physical worlds, desperately seeking human hosts
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to possess so they could once again experience physical sensations, emotions,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and the ability to influence the material world around them.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus encountered these demons regularly throughout his earthly ministry and
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: revealed their true nature and desperate spiritual condition to his disciples.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: When he cast out a legion of demons from one
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: tormented man, they begged him desperately not to send them
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to the Abyss, where they would be completely cut off
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: from the physical world. Luke eight thirty one records their
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: terrified plea, and they begged him that he would not
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: command them to go out into the Abyss. They feared
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: returning to the purely spiritual realm because they craved physical
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: existence and the ability to influence and corrupt the material world.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: These demon spirits became Satan's invisible army and his primary
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: foot soldiers in the ongoing spiritual war against humanity. They
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: carried out his orders to whisper lies into people's minds,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: promote violence and hatred between individuals and nations, encourage rebellion
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: against God's authority and attempt to possess anyone who opened
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: their heart to evil influences. They continued the same work
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of corruption and destruction that their giant fathers and fallen
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: angel grandfathers had started before the flood. The spiritual warfare
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: that had begun in heaven with Lucifer's original rebellion had
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: now moved to Earth in a new and much more
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: subtle form. Instead of mighty angels fighting openly with swords
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: of light and divine power, the battle was now fought
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: invisibly in human hearts, minds, and souls. The demons sought
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to destroy people from the inside out through temptation, lies,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and spiritual oppression, while God's holy angels worked constantly to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: protect and guide theirse those who remained faithful to their creator.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: This is exactly why Jesus taught his disciples to pray
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: with these important words and do not lead us into temptation,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: but deliver us from the evil one. The spiritual danger
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: was absolutely real. The demonic enemy was constantly active and
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: seeking victims, and the battle for human souls had begun
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: in Earnest on a scale never before seen in human history.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: After the Great Flood cleansed the earth, Satan found himself
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: operating in a completely different position and context than he
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: had before. He was no longer just a rebel angel
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: causing trouble and chaos in heaven through human sin and disobedience.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: He had actually become the prince and ruler of this
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: world system. When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: clear command in the Garden of Eden, they had essentially
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: handed over the dominion and authority that God had originally
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: given them to Satan himself. Now he ruled over the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: earth and its kingdoms, but his rule had definite boundaries
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: and limitations that God had established and enforced. Jesus himself
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: acknowledged Satan's temporary but real authority over earthly kingdoms when
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: he was tempted in the wilderness after fasting for forty days,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Satan showed him all the kingdoms of the world in
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: their glory and power. Then made this bold claim, all
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: this authority I will give you and their glory, for
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: this has been delivered to me, and I give it
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to whomever I wish. Satan wasn't lying, exaggerating or bluffing
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: about his power He really did have significant authority over
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the world's governments, economic systems, and political structures, but only
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: because humanity had given it to him through their rebellion
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: against God. However, Satan's authority wasn't absolute, unlimited, or without
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: restrictions by any means. God had set clear and unmovable
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: boundaries that he couldn't cross without specific permission from Heaven.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: The Book of Job provides us with a perfect example
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of exactly how this spiritual authority structure worked in practice.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: When Satan wanted to attack and test the righteous man Job,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: he was required to ask God's permission first, like a
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: prosecutor requesting permission from a judge. Job one twelve records
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: God's specific response and the exact limits he placed on
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Satan's actions. And the Lord said to Satan, behold all
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: that he has is in your power. Only do not
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: lay a hand on his person. Satan continued his relentless
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: work of corruption and destruction after the flood, but now
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: he was forced to be much more subtle, strategic, and
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: indirect in his methods. He could no longer simply send
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: massive armies of Nephelim giants to terrorize and destroy people
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: through brute force, those days were permanently over. Instead, he
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: was forced to work through human governments, false religious systems,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: corrupt leaders, and deceptive ideologies. He promoted lies about God's
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: character and convinced people that sin represented freedom and self
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: expression instead of slavery and destruction. The Apostle Paul clearly
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: explained Satan's new methods and strategies in his letter to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: the Ephesians, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: the heavenly places. The battle had become completely invisible to
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: human eyes, but remained just as real, dangerous, and consequential
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: as the original war in heaven between Michael's forces and
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: the Dragon's army. Satan also used his extensive knowledge of
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: human nature, psychology, and weakness to tempt people in their
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: most vulnerable areas. Having observed humanity since the Garden of Eden,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: he knew exactly which lies, temptations, and deceptions would appeal
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: most strongly to each person's specific weaknesses in pride, greed, lust,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: or fear. First John two sixteen describes his threefold strategy perfectly,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: for all that is in the world, the lust of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: of life is not of the Father, but is of
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the world. Despite all his accumulated power, intelligence, and cunning
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: developed over thousands of years, Satan was fighting a battle
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that he had already lost. From the very beginning. God
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: had already promised back in the Garden of Eden that
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the woman's seed would eventually crush the serpent's head completely.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Every single day that passed brought him closer to his
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: final total defeat and eternal punishment. He knew his time
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: was limited and running out, which made him increasingly desperate, reckless,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and dangerous in his attacks against God's people. God had
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: revealed to his chosen prophets throughout history exactly how Satan's
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: rebellion would finally end and what the climactic events of
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the last days would look like. The Book of Revelation
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: provides us with detailed information about the final chapters of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the cosmic rebellion that began in heaven with Lucifer's pride.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: During the end Times, Satan would be permitted by God
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: to make one last desperate attempt to prove his accusations
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: against God and rally his remaining forces for a final
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: all out battle against the Creator. The apostle John saw
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: a terrifying vision of future events when the bottomless Pit
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: would be open and the imprisoned demons would be temporarily
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: released to torment the earth. Revelation nine one to two
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: describes this earth shaking event in vivid detail. Then the
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Fifth Angel sounded, and I saw a star fallen from
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Heaven to the Earth to him. Was given the key
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to the bottomless Pit, and he opened the bottomless pit,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and smoke arose out of the pit, like the smoke
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: of a great furnace. So the sun and the air
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. The
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: demons that had been bound in darkness since the days
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: of Noah and the Flood would suddenly be free to
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: roam the earth again, but only for a short, specific
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: time period and only by God's direct permission and purpose.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: They would cause tremendous suffering, chaos, and destruction across the
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: entire world, but their temporary release would ultimately serve God's
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: greater purposes in bringing about the final judgment of sin.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Rebellion and evil. Even in this moment of apparent victory
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: for Satan's forces, they would still be operating within God's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: sovereign plan and time line. During this period of intense tribulation,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Satan would also establish his ultimate deception and final rebellion,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the Beast's system that would demand worship in complete allegiance
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: from every person on Earth. Revelation thirteen four tells us
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: about the world's response. So they worshiped the dragon, who
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: who is like the Beast who is able to make
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: war with him? This would be Satan's final, desperate attempt
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: to steal the worship and allegiance that belongs only to
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: God alone. The Beast's system would successfully unite all the
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: world's governments, religions, and economic systems under Satan's direct control
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: and authority. People everywhere would be forced to make the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: ultimate choice between worshiping the Beast and receiving his mark,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: or remaining faithful to God and facing severe persecution, economic exclusion,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and even death. It would be the final test of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: human loyalty throughout history. Would people choose temporary comfort and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: safety within Satan's system, or would they remain faithful to
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: God regardless of the personal cost. But even this final
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: world wide rebellion would be strictly limited by God's predetermined
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: time line and sovereign purposes. Revelation twelve twelve contains this
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: ominous warning. Therefore, rejoice, o heavens, and you who dwell
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the Earth and
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: the sea, for the devil has come down to you,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: having great wrath because he knows that he has a
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: short time. Satan's time was rapidly running out, and his
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: growing desperation would make him more dangerous, violent, and destructive
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: than ever before in human history. The final climax would
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: come when Satan gathered all the armies of the entire
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Earth for the Battle of Armageddon, believing that he could
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: finally defeat God through superior numbers and military might. But
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: his carefully planned strategy would end in complete and utter disaster.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: When Jesus Christ returned to Earth in power and glory
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: as the conquering King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: accompanied by all the armies of Heaven. Jesus Christ himself
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: revealed the ultimate destiny that had been prepared specifically for
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Satan and all his followers throughout history. In Matthew twenty
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: five forty one, Christ spoke about the final judgment with
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: absolute divine authority. Then he will also say to those
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: on the left hand depart from me, you cursed into
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: This eternal fire wasn't originally created for human beings. It
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: was specifically designed and prepared for spiritual beings who had
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: chosen to rebel against their creator and refuse his offer
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: of forgiveness. The Lake of Fire represents the most terrifying
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: and severe punishment described anywhere in all of scripture. Revelation
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: twenty ten describes Satan's final fate with absolutely chilling clarity.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: The devil who deceived them was cast into the lake
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: for ever and ever. There would be absolutely no escape,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: no possibility of second chances, no end to the punishment,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: no hope of parole, mercy, or reduced sentence throughout all eternity.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Before this final sentence was carried out, every single created
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: being who had ever lived would be required to stand
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: before God's great white throne of judgment for final evaluation
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: and sentencing. The books would be opened, and every action,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: every word, every thought, every secret motive, and every hidden
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: deed would be thoroughly examined under God's perfect justice and
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: absolute holiness. Revelation twenty twelve describes this awesome and terrifying scene,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: And I saw the dead, small and great standing before God,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and books were opened, and another book was opened, which
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: according to their works by the things which were written
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: in the books. Even death itself and Hell would be
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: thrown into the lake of fire, demonstrating that God's victory
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: was absolutely complete, final and eternal. Revelation twenty fourteen declares,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: with finality, then death and hades were cast into the
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: lake of fire. This is the second death. The second
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: death would mean eternal separation from God, eternal conscious punishment,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and eternal existence in outer darkness for all who had
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: chosen rebellion over obedience, lies over truth, and satan over God.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: The fallen angels who had originally started this entire cosmic
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: rebellion would face the harshest and most severe punishment of
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: all created beings. They had known God's glory personally and intimately,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: had lived in his immediate presence, had experienced perfect joy,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: peace and fulfillment, and had deliberately thrown it all away
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: for pride, selfish ambition, and the desire to be worshiped themselves.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Their punishment would perfectly match the magnitude of their sin
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: and the incredible privilege they had rejected. For Satan's specifically,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: this would represent the ultimate humiliation and complete defeat of
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: everything he had worked toward for thousands of years. The
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: being who had arrogantly declared I will ascend into heaven.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I will be like the most high, would be cast
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: into the lowest place of punishment in all creation. The
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: one who had promised his followers freedom, power, and godlike
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: status would instead lead them into eternal slavery, torment, and
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: hopeless misery. His rebellion that had seemed so powerful, threatening,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: and successful would end in complete and utter defeat, proving
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: that God's word is always true and his justice always prevails.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: After all, rebellion was finally crushed and punished forever. God
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: would create something absolutely magnificent, perfect, and eternal. The apostle
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: John saw this glorious vision of the future and carefully
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: recorded it in Revelation twenty one point one. Now I
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: saw a new heaven and a new Earth. For the
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: first heaven and the sert first Earth had passed away. Also,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: there was no more sea. This wouldn't be merely a
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: repair job or renovation of the old corrupted creation. It
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: would be completely new, absolutely perfect, and designed to last
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: forever without any possibility of corruption or decay. This new
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: creation would be completely free from every trace of corruption, pollution,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and evil that the fallen angels had brought into the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: world through their rebellion. There would be no more violence
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: of any kind, no more forbidden knowledge or dangerous technologies,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: no more temptation from demons, no more sin, suffering, or
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: rebellion of any kind. Isaiah had prophesied this glorious day
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: centuries before. For behold, I create new heavens and a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: new Earth, and the ormer shall not be remembered or
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: come to mind. God himself would dwell directly with his
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: people in this new creation in a way that had
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: never been possible since the Garden of Eden. Revelation twenty
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: one three describes this incredible and wonderful reality. And I
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: heard a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the Tabernacle
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: of God is with men, and He will dwell with them,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: and they shall be His people. God himself will be
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: with them and be their God. The perfect relationship between
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: God and humanity that Satan had tried to destroy in
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the Garden would be completely restored forever, but even better
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and more intimate than before. All the pain, suffering, and
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: sorrow that rebellion had caused throughout human history would be
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: completely removed and permanently forgotten. Revelation twenty one four contains
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: this wonderful and comforting promise. And God will wipe away
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: every day tear from their eyes. There shall be no
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: more death, nor sorrow nor crying. There shall be no
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: more pain, for the former things have passed away. Every
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: negative consequence of sin and rebellion would be completely erased
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: from existence forever. The new Jerusalem would descend from heaven
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: as the magnificent capital city of God's eternal kingdom. Its
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: gates would never need to be closed, because there would
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: be no enemies to fear. No rebels to keep out,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: no danger of any kind. Its streets would be made
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: of pure gold, its foundations would be precious stones of
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: every kind, and its light would come directly from God's
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: glory itself, rather than the sun or moon. Most importantly
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: of all, the curse that had fallen on all creation
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: because of sin would be completely lifted and permanently removed.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Revelation twenty two three declares, with joy, and there shall
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: be no more curse, but the throne of God and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: shall serve him. The perfect order and harmony that had
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: existed before Satan's rebellion would be completely restored, but this
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: time it would be eternal, unshakable, and absolutely secure forever.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: The ultimate and final victory would belong completely to Jesus Christ,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: the Lamb of God, who had conquered sin, death, hell,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: and Satan himself through his sacrifice and resurrection. Paul describes
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: his complete and total triumph in Colossians two fifteen. Having
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: disarmed principalities and powers, he made a public spectacle of them,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: triumphing over them minute every fallen angel, every demon, every
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: evil power, and every force of darkness would be completely
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: and permanently defeated by the one they had tried so
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: desperately to destroy. Christ's magnificent victory would be graciously shared
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: with his people, those who had remained faithful and loyal
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: through all the trials, tribulations, and persecutions of history. Revelation
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: three twenty one contains his amazing promise to overcomers, to
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with me
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: with my father on his throne. The Redeemed from every
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: nation and time period would rule and reign with Christ
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: throughout eternity as co heirs of God's glorious kingdom. The
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: bride of Christ, composed of all true believers from every nation, tribe,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and language throughout history, would be presented to him in
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: perfect purity, beauty, and holiness. Ephesians five twenty seven describes
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: this glorious wedding moment that he might present her to
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: any such thing, but that she should be and without blemish.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: The worship that Satan had tried to steal from the
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: very beginning would finally be pure, unhindered, and eternal. Every
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: created being who remained in God's kingdom would bow before
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Christ and joyfully acknowledge his absolute authority over all creation.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Philippians two ten to eleven prophesies this universal moment of worship,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: of those under the earth, and that every tongue should
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: God the Father. The Tree of Life that had been
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: carefully guarded by Cherubim with flaming swords since Adam and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Eve's sin, would be freely available again to all who
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: entered the New Creation. Revelation twenty two two describes its
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: standing majestically. In the middle of its the street, and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: on either side of the river was the tree of Life,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: The leaves of the tree were for the healing of
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: the nations. Perfect harmony, peace, and joy would be permanently
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: restored throughout all creation for eternity. The lion would lie
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: down peacefully with the lamb, children would play safely with
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: dangerous animals, and there would be no hurt, destruction, or
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: violence anywhere in God's holy Mountain. The cosmic rebellion that
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: began with one angel's pride and infected one third of
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: heaven would finally end with perfect peace, love, and worship
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: that would continue forever and ever without end
