Satan Roams the Earth
This
remarkable scene in heaven provides us a striking picture of Satanic activity.
The devil, in his opposition to God and His program of salvation, evidently
never rests. He is not omnipresent, like God, because he is a finite (though
very powerful and brilliant) created being. To accomplish his goal, therefore,
he is never at rest, but keeps going from place to place and working deception
after deception, bringing everyone he can under his influence.
(Jeremy:
Part of this deception is people who support herasies. I run into them every
day on Facebook. Another is apparitions of UFOs, and evil spirits impersonating
God giving false messages that add to or subtract from the Bible.)
Therefore,
God urgently warns us: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
The same is
true of the demonic spirits who have followed the devil in his rebellion
against God. They never rest until they can take possession of some person’s
body and mind and then control that person’s behavior. “When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth
none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out” ).
(Jeremy: One
of the major lies today is contact with extraterrestrials. Satan has created a substitute
theory to replace Darwinism called the Ancient Astronaut Theory which claims
God is a group of extraterrestrials who evolved on another planet. Theistic
Evolution is part of this materialistic explanation of origins, where
extraterrestrials created man from apelike creatures millions of years ago.
This is a return to ancient Pagan Religion and worship of Nephilim like Gaia.)
This
restlessness that characterizes the devil and his demons often also manifests
itself in the unsaved, and this will be the ultimate state of those who yield
to the pressures of these evil spirits. “They have no rest day nor night, who
worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name”
(Revelation 14:11).
True rest of
soul is found only in Christ, with His forgiveness, cleansing, and guidance:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29). HMM
