THE APOSTOLIC VOICE
May 10, 2003

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Greeting Saints,                                           Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

So far we have dealt with the devices and props of the enemy mainly through people, especially humans that have given themselves to satanism. But where did it all start? What is the essence of it? As stated before, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph 6:2). So as emphasized strongly, this battle is spiritual and therefore originated with spirits. That is, with satan and his angels. But who are these angels? Didn't God bind all the fallen angels who sin with women (Jude 1:6)? Obviously not all of them were bound and probably not all of them at the time sinned after this manner. But one thing is for sure, Satan doesn't work alone; and the devils that are mentioned throughout the New Testament are referring to fallen angels.

Devils are spirit with greater intelligence than humans, as even Jesus spoke with them (Mr 5:9). Which other being beside man did God create with intelligence, much more greater than that of men? Angels! However, 1/3 of them fell with Lucifer and some are still with him; and as the Bible said he and them which deceived the nations will be cast into the bottomless pit at the end of time (Rev 12:9). By that verse alone you should know that devils or fallen angels are the spirits working with satan (2 Cor 11:15). It's hard to associate the word devil with the word angel, because to us angels are brilliant wonderful creatures. However, the word devil means "accusers;" nothing more. To have access to do their evil, they send their representative, lucifer, to accuse the brethren before God (Rev 12:10). In Job 1:6 we get a glimpse of this political scene in heaven; "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." When God said, "Whence comest thou" he was saying, 'where are you coming from, give your report (including accusation).' Satan then answered that he was in the domain of the earth. So his report would be about humans. If he was in another part of heaven he would give his report against angels. He and his brethrens were like a bad case of 'tell tale.' And most often to make his accusation he had to cause the brethren to sin, as seen with Adam.

The problem that these preachers have is that while in heaven these angels had ranking and they were also different kinds - cherubim, seraphim, arch angels and others. When they fell the ranking and variations didn't change. That's why Paul listed them as such "principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. " And that's the reason why Jesus said, "this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting"(Matt 17:21), indirectly recognizing the different rankings of spirits. These groups of ranking are diverse and they are possibly more ranking than we know. They are the leaders of the human groups mentioned in the pass two letters: satantists, witches, wizards, mind control victims and all wickedness on earth.

PRINCIPALITIES

"Principalities are second in command to Satan. They are Satan's lieutenants. Principalities are fallen angels who were very close to angels like Gabriel and Michael before the fall. They are powerful and intelligent creatures before and after the fall. Among top principalities are Demons of Death and Demons of Hell." (Pastor J. A)

POWERS

"Powers are demons next in command to principalities. They are also powerful and carry out the activities with a profound deceit. They have the serpent's wisdom but not a dove's peaceful nature. The powers are assigned to men and women in authority since they are also authorities. They try to control the head of nations [or be it themselves]."  (Pastor J. A)

RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD

These "control human minds and use human beings as agents of destruction. The demons of power use economy, intellect and policies to fight people through their government or rulers. The rulers of darkness use force, violence and physical destruction to fight people through their rulers. Rulers of the darkness of this world use three areas of man's life which were used on Jesus during his temptations and on Adam...'the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life.'" (Pastor J. A)

SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES

"The most wicked in operation. These demons are highly powerful because they use human beings as agents of operations. Spiritual Wickedness operate directly through human beings. They are indeed wicked. [They form and lead all the human arms of satan: satanist, witches, spirit mediums, illuminati, masons and more]"  (Pastor J. A).

So, in essence, when Paul said we wrestle against " principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places," he was saying we wrestle against fallen angels. Those that dwell in the heavenlies and those that dwell on earth.

"WATCHERS" AND "HOLY ONES"

Daniel 4:13 records, " I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven." In other words, two beings or angels descended from the sky. One was distinct from the other in that one was a "watcher" and the other a "Holy One." If one is Holy it meant that the other is not. Who could this other type of angel be that is not Holy but descended from the sky? Believe it or not, "watchers" are fallen angels. When God kicked them out of heaven, he kicked them out of his abode (in what some call the first heaven) to the outer skies of the earth (in what many refer to as the second or third heaven). They aren't holy any more because they aren't inline with God but they still are powerful beings, who by tricking Adam have assumed our place as gods of the earth (2 Cor 4:4). One ex-satanist visited this domain and as I presume many other satanists have. He wrote, "I had now become a part and parcel of the spirit world and could at will to any part of the world. According to the books I brought, spirit beings are living in space... I came out of my house, made some incantations and called the wild wind and disappeared. I found myself in space and saw these spirit beings" (E. Eni). Which other being in the heavenlies would relate favorably with a satanists? "Watchers" or Fallen Angels.

The only other book with frank reference to watchers is the Book of Enoch  ; which is the only apocryphal (Pseudepigrapha) book to be quoted in the New Testament. However, to prevent us from gleaning from its content, it has been severely tampered with; laden with many inconsistencies and what some call occultic. But sifting through garbage to find content can be attained. The quote reads:

"Enoch, thou scribe of justice, go, announce to the watchers of heaven, who have left the high heaven and the holy, eternal place, and have contaminated themselves with women from now on ye will not ascend into heaven to all eternity, and upon earth, it has been decreed, they shall bind you for all the days of the world...bind them under the hills of the earth...till the day of their judgment and of their end, till the last judgment has been passed for all eternity. "

So then, watchers are fallen angels. How is it that they seem to be in harmony with the Holy Ones? They aren't really. Why they seemed to be in harmony was because of Nebuchadnezzer's prideful ness. He was exalting himself above measure. Everything must be done "in decency and in order," even in realms we don't understand. That's why God rebuked Job and said, "Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?" (Job 38:33). In other words, there is an order to the heavens and most of the wrestlings and conflicts are political in nature. When God decided to cut down King Nebuchadnezzar for his presumptions, he did it in order. He gave the word to the Holy Ones, the Holy Ones gave the order to the watchers (fallen angels in Adam sted) and the watchers decree it on earth and it is carried it out. This verse in Daniel expounds on this, "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men"(Dan 4:17). Though the Holy Ones are greater in might to the watchers because they dwell in the present of God, they had to demand it from these rebellious watchers. God have always used the watchers (Ps 78:49) and will use the most rebellious of them in the future (Rev 9:14), but as seen throughout scriptures, they know their time and end (Matt 8:29, Lk 22:53, Jude 1:13). Nevertheless, from the watchers were kicked out from the first heaven there have been war in the heavenlies. This was greatly heighten when John began to preach because the Holy Ones in heaven and man on earth would have no accuser against them before God in the Heavenly type of Sanhedrin; as Luke said, "peace in heaven"(Lk 19:38).  The watchers also knew that a savior was coming to mankind to redeem them of their position in God as Holy "Sons of Elohim" or rightful gods of the earth (Ps 82:6 ); making them lose whatever godship they had of the earth and its atmosphere. In other words, God was sending a replacement for Adam, who would have been the first human god, hadn't he fall. And that's why Jesus is not only the second Adam but as the scripture said "the Last Adam." Meaning, he came and recreated humanity through being born again, making us no longer subject to watchers (satan and his angels) but rightful rulers of the earth; which will be soon realized on his second return !

FALLEN ANGELS ("WATCHERS")

"Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service [slaves] unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years." (Gal 4:8)

"By nature are no gods,” means they weren't legally initiated as gods; God didn't directly give them this authority as "god of this world" (2Cor 4:4). They stole it by tricking Adam to sin and through our ignorance wants to give them reverence. That's the reason the Lord had me expound on the pagan Holidays, which are glorifying these fallen angels who are mystified as Greek gods and now embedded in New Ageism and Neo-pagan culture. By celebrating these holidays you are honoring gods who "are no gods" that shall perish; gods who are the "work of error" and in due time God Almighty shall deal with them for polluting humanity. Jeremiah 10:11 & 15 explains this: "thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens...They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish." Isaiah himself alluded to this in prophecy, "all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host [watchers] shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment"(Isa 34:5).

Then they are watchers who further sinned by mingling with men. The bible said the sons of God came unto the daughters of men. Sons of God, here refers to Angelic being, most commonly known as fallen angels or "`Sons of Elohim". "This has been a highly disputed passage for many years now, although it apparently was not originally. To the early Jews, this was referring to angels. For a few thousand years this was the favored interpretation, and it was not until only a few hundred years ago that rationalism and the modern mind has ruled this out as being impossible." (William Arnold III)

Now, Angelic beings are not like humans that have reproductive organs to have human sexual relations (Matt 22:30). So it is safe to say they genetically incarnated themselves into human beings through the womb of a woman. According to Gen. 6 they were men of renown; giants (mutants) who did evil continually. So much so, that when God saw the evil state humanity was in, He decided to send a flood. Only Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives survived. One would think that would rid the earth of them. Unfortunately, these spirit beings are souls that cannot die as Christ said in Lk 20:36. So if you kill their enfleshment they will come again in the next generation, unless both parents are truly Holy Ghost filled; remember they don't reproduce naturally.  And even though the initiators of this were bound in "chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day" (Jude 1:6) other watchers still came and did the same thing.

We see them popping up again when the Israelites went to Canaan and saw giants. They got smarter now for to survive physically they must remain hidden, especially because of what Christ came and did for mankind (Tit 2:14). That's why the word 'occult' means hidden! Here we see two kinds of watchers, those that were kicked out of the first heaven and remain where God kicked them to (outer skies) and those that were kicked out and further rebelled by dwelling with men (Due 6:4); that is, "the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation" (Jude 1:6). Many of the Greek Mythology are actually stories of these two groups interacting with themselves and men, presumptuously. Things are not different today, but as the days of Noah were when this corruption was heighten so it is now; only the outlook of it has changed.

For instance, the most renown fallen angel is "Superman," or a type of it. He plunging to earth from another planet is symbolic of watchers falling from heaven. He keeping his identity a secret to blend in and expressing his mutant powers when he wants is symbolic of fallen angels amongst us unawares, but are actually "men of renown;" as it was back then. Movie stars, Singing stars, DIVA's (or devils), Rock stars, Rap stars, Sports stars and most stars of the earth are all fallen "stars" from heaven and you idolize them by becoming fans or fanatics to them. This is similar to worshipping them. The same thing was done in the bible to these same fallen stars, "Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven...Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them"(Acts 7:42-43). Some even have their own bobble head dolls, posters, pin-ups, cards, - all "figures which ye made to worship them." No wonder "that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God" (Lk 16:15). The word abomination literally means "disgusting." That's why most of these stars live in 'Los Angeles' or 'Lost Angels.' And with their deceptions "hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2Co4:4).

To be continued...

Grace be unto you,
Oneil.
