Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 39 "'If a member of your people has become poor
  among you and sells himself to you, do not make
  him do the work of a slave. 40 Rather, you are to
  treat him like an employee or a tenant he will
  work for you until the year of yovel. 41 Then he
  will leave you, he and his children with him, and
  return to his own family and regain possession of
  his ancestral land. 42 For they are my slaves,
  whom I brought out of the land of Egypt
  therefore they are not to be sold as slaves.

26
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 43 Do not treat him harshly, but fear your God.
  44 "'Concerning the men and women you may have as
  slaves you are to buy men- and women-slaves from
  the nations surrounding you. 45 You may also buy
  the children of foreigners living with you and
  members of their families born in your land you
  may own these.

27
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 46 You may also bequeath them to your children to
  own from these groups you may take your slaves
  forever. But as far as your brothers the people
  of Isra'el are concerned, you are not to treat
  each other harshly. 47 "'If a foreigner living
  with you has grown rich, and a member of your
  people has become poor and sells himself to this
  foreigner living with you or to a member of the
  foreigner's family,

28
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 48 he may be redeemed after he has been sold. One
  of his brothers may redeem him 49 or his uncle
  or his uncle's son may redeem him or any near
  relative of his may redeem him or, if he becomes
  rich, he may redeem himself.

29
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 50 He will calculate with the person who bought
  him the time from the year he sold himself to him
  to the year of yovel and the amount to be paid
  will be according to the number of years and his
  time at an employee's wage.

30
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 51 If many years remain, according to them will
  he refund the amount for his redemption from the
  amount he was bought for. 52 If there remain only
  a few years until the year of yovel, then he will
  calculate with him according to his years will
  he refund the amount for his redemption.

31
Leviticus 2539-end of chapter

• 53 He will be like a worker hired year by year.
  You will see to it that he is not treated
  harshly. 54 "'If he has not been redeemed by any
  of these procedures, nevertheless he will go free
  in the year of yovel -he and his children with
  him. 55 For to me the people of Isra'el are
  slaves they are my slaves whom I brought out of
  the land of Egypt I am ADONAI your God. END

32
Jeremiah 326-27

• 6 Yirmeyahu (MeansExalted of the Lord) said,
  "This word of ADONAI came to me 7 'Hanam'el
  (MeansGod is gracious) , the son of your uncle
  Shalum (Form of Shalom peace), will approach
  you and say, "Buy my field at 'Anatot (town north
  east of Jerusalem, a town of priests the name
  means poor) you have next-of-kin's right to
  redeem it so buy it."'"

33
Jeremiah 326-27

• 8 AS ADONAI had said, my cousin Hanam'el came to
  me in the guards' quarters and said, "Please buy
  my field at 'Anatot, in the territory of Binyamin
  (Binyamin means Son of my right hand. Smol is
  left, yamine is right) because you will inherit
  it, and you have next-of-kin's right to redeem
  it, so buy it for yourself." Then I was certain
  that this was ADONAI's word. 9 So I bought the
  field at 'Anatot which belonged to my cousin
  Hanam'el and weighed out the money for him, seven
  ounces of silver shekels.

34
Jeremiah 326-27

• 10 I signed on the purchase contract, sealed it,
  called witnesses and weighed out the money for
  him on a balance scale. 11 I took the purchase
  contract, both the sealed copy with the terms and
  conditions, and the unsealed copy, 12 and gave
  the purchase contract to Barukh (Blessed) the son
  of Neriyah (The Lord is my Lamp) , the son of
  Machseyah (The works/creations of God) , in the
  presence of my cousin Hanam'el, the witnesses who
  had signed the purchase contract and the people
  from Y'hudah (Judah) sitting by the guards'
  quarters.

35
Jeremiah 326-27

• 13 In their presence I instructed Barukh as
  follows 14 "Here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot (G-d of
  Hosts), the God of Isra'el, says 'Take these
  contracts, both the sealed and unsealed copies,
  and place them in a clay jar, so that they can be
  preserved for a long time.' 15 For
  ADONAI-Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says that one
  day homes, fields and vineyards will again be
  bought in this land."

36
Jeremiah 326-27

• 16 After giving the purchase contract to Barukh
  son of Neriyah, I prayed to ADONAI 17 "ADONAI,
  God! You made heaven and earth by your great
  power and outstretched arm nothing is too hard
  for you. 18 You display your grace to thousands
  but also repay the guilt of the fathers into the
  lap of their children who follow them. Great,
  powerful God, whose name is ADONAI-Tzva'ot,

37
Jeremiah 326-27

• 19 great in counsel, mighty in deed! Your eyes
  are open to all the ways of human beings in order
  to repay each one according to his ways,
  according to the consequences of what he does. 20
  You gave signs and performed miracles in the land
  of Egypt which continue to this day, also in
  Isra'el and among other people thus you made
  yourself the reputation you have today.

38
Jeremiah 326-27

• 21 You brought your people of Isra'el out of the
  land of Egypt with signs and miracles, with a
  strong hand and an outstretched arm and with
  great terror. 22 Then you gave them this land,
  which you had sworn to their ancestors that you
  would give them, a land flowing with milk and
  honey.

39
Jeremiah 326-27

• 23 They entered and took possession of it but
  they did not pay attention to your voice, did not
  live according to your Torah, and did nothing of
  all you ordered them to do. Therefore you made
  this complete disaster befall them -

40
Jeremiah 326-27

• 24 the siege-works are already there they have
  come to the city to capture it and the city, by
  means of sword, famine and plague, is being
  handed over to the Kasdim Chaldeans fighting
  against it. What you foretold is being fulfilled
  here, you see it, yourself.

41
Jeremiah 326-27

• 25 Yet you, ADONAI, God, have said to me, 'Buy
  the field for money, and call witnesses even as
  the city is being turned over to the Kasdim!'" 26
  Then this word of ADONAI came to Yirmeyahu 27
  "Look, I am ADONAI, the God of every living
  creature is there anything too hard for me?
• END (Baruch HaShem)

42
Luke 2247-62

• 47 While he was still speaking, a crowd of people
  arrived, with the man called Y'hudah (one of the
  Twelve!) leading them. He came up to Yeshua to
  kiss him, 48 but Yeshua said to him, "Y'hudah,
  are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

43
Luke 2247-62

• 49 When his followers saw what was going to
  happen, they said, "Lord, should we use our
  swords?" 50 One of them struck at the slave of
  the cohen hagadol and cut off his right ear. 51
  But Yeshua answered, "Just let me do this," and,
  touching the man's ear, he healed him.

44
Luke 2247-62

• 52 Then Yeshua said to the head cohanim, the
  officers of the Temple guard and the elders who
  had come to seize him, "So you came out just as
  you would to the leader of a rebellion, with
  swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was there with
  you in the Temple court, yet you didn't arrest
  me. But this is your hour -- the hour when
  darkness rules."

45
Luke 2247-62

• 54 Having seized him, they led him away and
  brought him into the house of the cohen hagadol.
  Kefa followed at a distance 55 but when they had
  lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat
  down together, Kefa joined them.

46
Luke 2247-62

• 56 One of the servant girls saw him sitting in
  the light of the fire, stared at him and said,
  "This man also was with him." 57 But he denied
  it "Lady, I don't even know him." 58 A little
  later, someone else saw him and said, "You're one
  of them too" but Kefa said, "Man, I am not!"

47
Luke 2247-62

• 59 About an hour later, another man asserted
  emphatically, "There can be no doubt that this
  fellow was with him, because he too is from the
  Galil!" 60 But Kefa said, "Man, I don't know what
  you're talking about!" And instantly, while he
  was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

48
Luke 2247-62

• 61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Kefa
  and Kefa remembered what the Lord had said,
  "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me
  three times." 62 And he went outside and cried
  bitterly.

Video Cam Reminder

51
Rebbes Parsha

• Lets talk a little about the cutting off of the
  ear of the servant in our Parsha in Luke.
• The servant's name was Malchus

52
Rebbes Parsha

• One writer puts it this way
• According to John, one of the disciples, the
  Apostle Peter, being armed with a sword, cut off
  the servant's ear in an attempt to prevent his
  Master's arrest.

53
Rebbes Parsha

• Another commentator writes Peter seemed to
  always be on the wrong wavelength in
• understanding Christ and his mission.

54
Rebbes Parsha

• These are unwarranted attacks on Peter.
• Peter is often times portrayed as rash and not a
  very good aim, like he was trying to cut off this
  mans head and missed.
• He wasnt actually trying to kill this servant.

55
Rebbes Parsha

• This isnt really what was going on here.
• Peter was making sure that Malchus could never be
  high priest so he did something that someone
  before him had done. He cut of his right earlobe.

56
Rebbes Parsha

• Josephus tells us that Hyrcanus had been maimed
  by Aristobulus in the same way a generation
  before.
• So Peter knew what he was doing, he was an expert
  swordsmen.

57
Todays Joke

• An Israeli landed at Heathrow Airport in London,
  at passport control the officer asked him,
  occupation? and the Israeli answered,

Todays Joke

• No!!! Im just here for a visit.

59
Demonology

• Today were going to look at the kingdom of Satan
  and how his hierarchy is set up.
• By understanding this well understand how demons
  rank in his empire.

This is a real park in Connecticut
60
Demonology

• Satan has always been an imitator, he can not
  create.
• But, we shouldnt mistake this for lack of
  intelligence.

61
Demonology

• He can imitate better then any human and much of
  what he does can appear created to us simple
  humans.
• Much of what we perceive as invention, to him, is
  only a series of educated guesses.

62
Demonology

• That being said, since he allowed pride to take
  him over when he was the covering Cherub
  (Cherubim) he has relentlessly tried to take the
  place of
• G-d.

63
Demonology

• Likewise he has set up his kingdom to mirror
  G-ds Kingdom.
• Early on he constructed his domain based on the
  only realm hed ever known.

64
Demonology

• Since we know this we can begin to understand his
  method of order.
• Now wait a second? I thought Satans Kingdom was
  chaos?

65
Demonology

• No, Satan does cause chaos at times but he
  maintains order, allegiance and obedience from
  his hosts.
• There is method when it comes to The Adversary

66
Demonology

• Eph. 6 says this
• 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be
  able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
• Lets look at the word wiles in Greek

67
Demonology
Stand against the methods of the Diabolic One
68
Demonology

• Satan knows what hes doing and so do his
  minions.
• He and the Evil Spirits with him will even, at
  times, promote good.

69
Demonology

• That is provided that good will result in a
  larger evil (ie. The Mormon Church).
• II Cor 11 says
• Satan becomes an angel of light, not that he
  becomes AS an angel of light.

70
Demonology

• And no marvel for Satan himself becomes an angel
  of light.
• I know the NIV and others say masquerades or
  disguises as an angel of light and so forth.
• However, no such word exists in the Greek texts
  of this passage.

71
Demonology

• This passage tells us this for a reason
• It tells us so we can understand just how
  deceived Satan really is.

72
Demonology

• The Devil can and does do good.
• He is indeed the Diabolical One.

73
Demonology

• So what does his kingdom look like, how is it set
  up?
• It is a militaristic society!
• We read in Daniel 1138 But in his estate shall
  he honour the god of forces and a god whom his
  fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and
  silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant
  things.

74
Demonology

• Who is this god of forces?
• It isn't just a demon
• its Satan himself.
• What does it mean by a god of forces?

75
Demonology

• The word there in Hebrew is Maozim (maw-oh-zeem).
  When we say Maoz (forces) in Hebrew were
  talking about the military (literally means
  stronghold).

76
Demonology

• Just as there are different ranks of
• G-ds angels likewise there are different
  ranks of evil spirits.

77
Demonology

• There is a power hierarchy and institutions of
  government for the execution of specific tasks.
• This government has its own type of CIA (Im
  referencing the CIA as an example).

78
Demonology

• The evil spirits of this sector collect
  information on individuals.
• The information is then used to exploit peoples
  weaknesses, passions and evil desires.

79
Demonology

• These CIA type evil spirits are fundamentally
  messengers, reporting back to their superiors
  then returning to the human theyre assigned to.

80
Demonology

• Just as Satan they have to go to and fro because
  they are not omnipresent (they cant be
  everywhere at once).
• Job 16

81
Demonology

• 6 One day the angels came to present themselves
  before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 7
  The LORD said to Satan, Where have you come
  from?
•  Satan answered the LORD, From roaming
  throughout the earth, going back and forth on
  it.

82
Demonology

• Demons and Satan cant be everywhere at once.
• So these demons report.
• They cant harm us unless we allow them to by the
  choices we make.

83
Demonology

• As Believers, we have a hedge of protection
  around us. Job 19 says,
• 9 Does Job fear God for nothing? Satan replied.
  10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his
  household.
• Can that hedge be removed? Yep, it sure was with
  Job.

84
Demonology

• Its an odd case with Job, he hadnt made any
  poor choices.
• But if we make poor choices (sin, sometimes
  ignorance etc) that hedge can be weakened and
  even removed depending.

85
Demonology

• Christians often confuse this hedge and think it
  a hedge of Salvation.
• It isnt. Its a hedge of protection.

86
Demonology

• There are more powerful demons (then these CIA
  types) who are assigned to earthly
  governments/regions.

87
Demonology

• Satan has correctly concluded that one of the
  best ways to influence the human masses is
  through their leaders.

88
Demonology

• These evil spirits are Commando type forces.
• Stealth and of higher intelligence then most (but
  not all) other evil spirits.

89
Demonology

• These were once arch angels in heaven before they
  fell.
• Gog is one of these arch angels
• Ez. 381 The word of the LORD came to me 2 Son
  of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of
  Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal
  prophesy against him 3 and say This is what the
  Sovereign LORD says I am against you, Gog, chief
  prince of Meshek and Tubal.

90
Demonology

• How do we know that this Gog isnt a human?
• 1. Hes called a Chief Prince.
• Youll only find this term in one other passage
  in all the Bible

91
Demonology

• Daniel 1010
• 10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my
  hands and knees. 11 He said, Daniel, you who are
  highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I
  am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I
  have now been sent to you. And when he said this
  to me, I stood up trembling.
•  12 Then he continued, Do not be afraid, Daniel.
  Since the first day that you set your mind to
  gain understanding and to humble yourself before
  your God, your words were heard, and I have come
  in response to them. 13 But the prince of the
  Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then
  Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help
  me, because I was detained there with the king of
  Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what
  will happen to your people in the future, for the
  vision concerns a time yet to come.

92
Demonology

• Secondly, we see Gog not only at the beginning of
  the millennium but also at the end of the 1,000
  reign.
• Rev 207 7 When the thousand years are over, the
  Adversary will be set free from his prison 8 and
  will go out to deceive the nations in the four
  quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather
  them for the battle. Their number is countless as
  the sand on the seashore

93
Demonology

• Michael is an arch-angel!
• Gog is an arch-evil spirit in charge of the

Demonology

• ancient Assyria.
• Meshek is identified by Josephus as Cappadocia.

95
Demonology

• We talked last week about the zeriym (foreign
  gods).
• Gog is a chief of the zeriym.
• Dan 11
• 39 He will deal with the strongest fortresses
  with the help of a foreign god. He will confer
  honor on those he acknowledges, causing them to
  rule over many and distributing land as a reward.
  CJB

96
Demonology

• We see Yeshua speaking to evil spirits in the New
  Testament from time to time.
• I said last week that I believed there were
  myriads of demons out there.

97
Demonology

• In one man there were approx 6,000 demons.
• The demons name was Legion.
• A legion is comprised of about 6 thousand and
  that was just in one man.

98
Demonology

• Rev 916 speaks of an additional 200 million that
  have been locked up till the End Days.
• Well be looking at that passage shortly

99
Demonology

• Another minor point just looking at it
  rationally, in order for Lucifer to attempt a
  rebellion
• He must have had a large following behind him.

100
Demonology

• So as in the case of Legion, we see Yeshua
  speaking to evil spirits.
• In fact every writer of the New Testament talks
  about demons with the exception of the author of
  Hebrews (and even he writes about Satan).

101
Demonology

• Mathew, Mark, Luke and John all speak of demons.
• Paul of course does as well, so does James (219,
  315) Peter (II Peter 24) and even Jude (Jude
  6).

102
Demonology

• So they obviously believed in their existence.
• They dont speak of them as androids (no
  personality) either

103
Demonology

• We know of at least three attributes of
  personality in demons.
• These three attributes are intellect, emotion,
  and limited will.

104
Demonology

• First, do demons have intellect? Yes, and this is
  evident in different ways first, demons know who
  Yeshua is.
• Mk. 124

105
Demonology

• They entered K'far-Nachum, and on Shabbat Yeshua
  went into the synagogue and began teaching. 22
  They were amazed at the way he taught, for he did
  not instruct them like the Torah-teachers but as
  one who had authority himself. 23 In their
  synagogue just then was a man with an unclean
  spirit in him, who shouted, 24 "What do you want
  with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to
  destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of
  God!"

106
Demonology

• second, demons know their own future doom Mt.
  828-29
• 28 When Yeshua arrived at the other side of the
  lake, in the Gadarenes' territory, there came out
  of the burial caves two men controlled by demons,
  so violent that no one dared travel on that road.
  29 They screamed, "What do you want with us, Son
  of God? Have you come here to torture us before
  the appointed time?"

107
Demonology

• third, demons know that God is One
• James 219
• 19 You believe that "God is one"? Good for you!
  The demons believe it too - the thought makes
  them shudder with fear!

108
Demonology

• fourth, demons have a counterfeit system of
  doctrine
• I Tim. 41
• 1 The Spirit expressly states that in the
  acharit-hayamim some people will apostatize from
  the faith by paying attention to deceiving
  spirits and things taught by demons.

109
Demonology

• fifth demons have the ability to communicate by
  speech (Lk. 434, 35, 41 828-31).

110
Demonology

• Demons also have emotions
• this can be seen in two ways first, they have
  the emotion of fierceness and anger (Mt. 828)
  and, second, they have the emotion of fear (Mt.
  829 Ja. 219).

111
Demonology

• Demons also have a limited will.
• This can be seen in 2 ways first, they have the
  will to make requests (Mt. 831 Lk. 832)

112
Demonology

• and, second, they have the will to leave a
  person, seek a new place to live, or return to
  the place where they formerly lived (Mt.
  1243-45).
• 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
  he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and
  findeth none. 44 Then he saith , I will return
  into my house from whence I came out and when
  he is come , he findeth it empty , swept , and
  garnished . 45 Then goeth he , and taketh with
  himself seven other spirits more wicked than
  himself, and they enter in and dwell there and
  the last state of that man is worse than the
  first.

113
Demonology

• There is one other way in which we can know that
  demons have personality
• When the New Testament speaks of demons, it uses
  the personal pronoun.

114
Demonology

• It never refers to a demon as an it, which would
  be fitting if demons were mere emanations.
  Instead, the text uses the pronouns we, us, they,
  your, I, and me to refer to demons.

115
Demonology

• Names
• Legion was one name of a demon and most teach
  that John names another of these evil spirits.
• A very powerful demon according to them named
  Abaddon.

116
Demonology

• They say this demon, Abaddon (The word means
  destroyer/destruction). is in charge of the
  Abyss.
• I understand why they (commentators) think this,
  but its incorrect.

Fictitious picture of Abaddon
117
Demonology

• Abaddon can actually mean 3 different things.
• It can be the name of a person/spirit or the name
  of a place (i.e. hell) or it can simply mean
  destruction depending on its context.

118
Demonology

• Well look at some Scriptural examples of a place
  first.
• Job 3112 CJB
• 9 "If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
  and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door 10
  then let my wife grind for another man, and let
  others kneel on her. 11 For that would be a
  heinous act, a criminal offense, 12 a fire that
  would burn to the depths of Abaddon, uprooting
  all I produce.

119
Demonology

• Psalms 88 CJB
• 10 Will you perform wonders for the dead? Can the
  ghosts (spirits) of the dead rise up and praise
  you? (Selah) 11 Will your grace be declared in
  the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

120
Demonology

• Lets read the passage about it and Ill do a
  verse by verse commentary Rev 9
• 1 The fifth angel (angel means messenger, even
  Yeshua is a messenger Mark 135 Very early in
  the morning, while it was still dark, Yeshua got
  up, left, went away to a lonely spot and stayed
  there praying. 36 But Shimon and those with him
  went after him 37 and when they found him, they
  said, "Everybody is looking for you."

121
Demonology

• 38 He answered, "Let's go somewhere else -- to
  the other villages around here. I have to
  proclaim the message there too -- in fact this is
  why I came out.) sounded his shofar (This is
  concerning the End Days) and I saw a star that
  had fallen out of heaven onto the earth, and he
  was given the key to the shaft leading down to
  the Abyss (notice not the key to the abyss, but
  to the shaft leading TO the abyss).
• Star! What did we learn about stars?
• Theyre ALWAYS?

122
Demonology

• 2 He opened the shaft of the Abyss (this human
  was given power to open this shaft), and there
  went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a
  huge furnace the sun was darkened, and the sky
  too, by the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then out of
  the smoke onto the earth came locusts (a term
  used to mean evil spirits), and they were given
  power like the power scorpions have on earth.

123
Demonology

• 4 They were instructed not to harm the grass on
  the earth, any green plant or any tree, but only
  the people who did not have the seal of God on
  their foreheads (so we see here, the Saved are
  still here at this point). 5 The locusts were not
  allowed to kill them, only to inflict pain on
  them for five months and the pain they caused
  was like the pain of a scorpion sting.

124
Demonology

• 6 In those days people will seek death but will
  not find it they will long to die, but death
  will elude them. 7 Now these locusts looked like
  horses outfitted for battle. On their heads were
  what looked like crowns of gold (these fallen
  demons were once angels who stood in the presence
  of G-d), and their faces were like human faces.

125
Demonology

• 8 They had hair like women's hair (not long
  hair), and their teeth were like those of lions.
  9 Their chests were like iron breastplates, and
  the sound their wings made (it says in Greek the
  sound these flyers made, not sound their wings
  made wings was a word the English translators
  inserted because they believed angels had wings)
  was like the roar of many horses and chariots
  rushing into battle.

126
Demonology

• So what kind of sound is it talking about.
• 2 possibilities
• One, they move so fast that it sounds like the
  wind cracking as something moves quickly through
  it or
• Two just the sounds of their screams or war calls.

127
Demonology

• 10 They had tails like those of scorpions, with
  stings and in their tails was their power to
  hurt people for five months. 11 They had as king
  over them the angel (messenger) of the Abyss,
  whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in our
  language, "Destroyer (or Destruction)." 12 The
  first woe has passed, but there are still two
  woes to come.

128
Demonology

• 13 The sixth angel sounded his shofar, and I
  heard a voice from the four horns of the gold
  altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel,
  the one with the shofar, "Release the four angels
  (messengers, in this case evil spirits) that are
  bound at the great river Euphrates!" 15 And they
  were released. These four angels had been kept
  ready for this moment, for this day and month and
  year, to kill a third of mankind

129
Demonology

• 16 and the number of cavalry soldiers was two
  hundred million! - I heard the number. 17 Here is
  how the horses looked in the vision the riders
  had breastplates that were fire-red, iris-blue
  and sulfur-yellow the horses' heads were like
  lions' heads and from their mouths issued fire,
  smoke and sulfur.

130
Demonology

• 18 It was these three plagues that killed a third
  of mankind - the fire, smoke and sulfur issuing
  from the horses' mouths. 19 For the power of the
  horses was in their mouths - and also in their
  tails, for their tails were like snakes (seraphim
  in Hebrew), with heads, and with them they could
  cause injury.

131
Demonology

• Sometimes in demonology we have to look for clues
  in Scripture.
• Theres not a lot of detailed information always
  I believe this passage is one of these clues
  concerning what kind of evil spirits are being
  talked about here.

132
Demonology

• Its not enough for me to stake my reputation on
  it, but I do believe it because it fits with
  proper hermeneutics concerning this topic and
  with an overall understanding of how things work
  in Satans kingdom.

133
Demonology

• So, I believe this passage is telling us what
  kind of demons these are Seraphim.
• The Seraphim were more powerful then the average
  demons but not as powerful as the Cherubim

134
Demonology

• 20 The rest of mankind, those who were not killed
  by these plagues, even then did not turn from
  what they had made with their own hands - they
  did not stop worshipping demons and idols made of
  gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which
  cannot see or hear or walk (remember we talked
  last week that not all idols are actually demons,
  people can simply make them up). 21 Nor did they
  turn from their murdering (leshediym ie child
  sacrifice), their involvement with the occult and
  with drugs, their sexual immorality (toeeebat)
  or their stealing.

135
Demonology

• So lets walk through this passage again.
• The star that fell was a Believer who turned his
  back on G-d, an apostate who listened to the
  doctrines of the leshidim.

136
Demonology

• This human who was given the key to the shaft
  that leads to the Abyss is the Anti-Christ.
• You can see what can happen if one misunderstands
  Jewish symbolism and confuses humans (stars) with
  demons

137
Demonology

• These demons which are released are very
  powerful, thats why theyve been locked up till
  that very hour.
• In my opinion, they are fallen Seraphim (Seraphim
  means snake)

138
Demonology

• They kill a third of the unbelievers and yet the
  remaining unbelievers still continue to worship
  false idols.
• Its logical to suppose many of them dont
  realize theyre even worshipping demons.

139
Demonology

• If you asked the typical unbeliever today if they
  worship demons, theyd say no.
• On closer examination youd find they actually do.

140
Demonology

• They commit acts of abortion or celebrate the
  festivals of Ishtar or commit acts of
  homosexuality or adultery and immorality etc.

141
Demonology

• Likewise in the Last Days most wont think
  theyre doing anything wrong, thus the word
  deception!!!

142
Demonology

• The line between ignorance and deception is when
  they have a moment of clarity and then think,
  Nah and thats when deception then takes root.

143
Demonology

• Abaddon is Satan, not a demon
• We read in Rev 911
• They had as King over them the angel of the
  Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in
  our language, "Destroyer."
• Notice it says King. Only Satan is King of the
  Evil Spirits. He allows Chief Princes, Messengers
  etc., but only he is King.

144
Demonology

• Who are the 4 messengers bound in the Euphrates?
  I believe theyre fallen Cherubim.
• These are the most powerful of the Evil Spirits.

145
Demonology

• How powerful are these spirits?
• They could crush planets/moons.
• Now before we get into this, Ill be challenging
  some very basic Christian beliefs.

146
Demonology

• I dont believe that G-d created the world in Gen
  1. Isaiah 4518 clearly says
• For thus says the LORD, who created the
  heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and
  made it, who has established it, who did not
  create it without FORM, who formed it to be
  inhabited I am the LORD, and there is no
  other. (NKJ)
• Is this a contradiction of Gen 1? No

147
Demonology

• Genesis 12 is mistranslated in most English
  translations only the Rotherham Emphasized
  Bible is close to the Hebrew
• Genesis 12
• The earth BECAME without FORM, and void and
  darkness was on the face of the deep. And the
  Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the
  waters.

148
Demonology

• What does that mean it became without form? It
  means it wasnt always that way.
• Yes in 6 literal days G-d brought the universe
  back as the first step to its eventual
  restoration (Tikkun Olam).

149
Demonology

• Understanding this also explains why the whole
  world wasnt a garden of Eden when Adam and Eve
  were kicked out.

150
Demonology

• There wouldve been no such thing as a garden.
• The whole world wouldve been a garden.
• If Gen 1 was the first time around, it wouldve
  been a perfect world!

151
Demonology

• G-d creates perfect things. The stars were
  perfect, the planets were perfect, there was no
  chaos.

152
Demonology

• Then Lucifer fell.
• And he didnt go without a fight.
• When there are wars in the spiritual, it affects
  the material and planets, moons, stars even
  entire star systems were destroyed in this war.

This picture is wrong on so many levels!!!
153
Demonology

• Ask any astronomer what the rings are around
  Saturn and theyll tell you
• They used to be moons that were crushed and
  destroyed.
• (BTW there are also rings around Jupiter, Uranus
  and Neptune)

154
Demonology

• Stars were also destroyed and some became super
  nova and black holes.
• This is the death of a star.
• G-d did not create them that way.

155
Demonology

• Chaos came into the universe when Satan fell and
  he and his demons destroyed as much as they
  could.

156
Demonology

• After the more powerful evil spirits were bound,
  G-d then began to recreate and thats where Gen 1
  begins.

157
Demonology

• Back to the Cherubim
• Many believe that there are only a few Cherubim.
• The two over the ark of the covenant
  (representing a heavenly reality) and Lucifer,
  the covering Cherub.

NOT a good representation of the Cherubim
158
Demonology

• They forget however that it says in Gen 3
• 24 So he drove the man out, and he placed at the
  east of the garden of 'Eden the k'ruvim and a
  flaming sword which turned in every direction to
  guard the way to the tree of life.
• Cherubim is plural, so at least 2 more were
  there.
• We also see in the temple many carvings (I Kings
  6) of Cherubim which in the Hebrew reading leads
  us to believe there were many of them.

159
Demonology

• We also see other Cherubim embroidered into the
  curtain of the Temple
• II Chron. 314 He made the curtain of blue,
  purple and crimson material and of fine linen,
  with a design of k'ruvim worked into it.
• Why would these Cherubim be bound in water (The
  Euphrates)?
• The ancient Rabbis have some ideas that may shed
  some light on that.

160
Demonology

• Well examine that next week.
• Shabbat Shalom
