Why Blame, when We Can Reign
Why Blame, when We Can Reign
We all wish the world was a better place. But it is not. actually society, political and religious leadership and economic equality are all failing. The reasons for this failure is because:
Satan is busy influencing the world systems.
Christ is not exercising His absolute reign over the earth.
God’s righteous remnant are a minority in the world.
Holding the Key of the Abyss represents the one with authority over the detention center for demonic spirits. The Abyss describes the dungeon without depth that is the holding place of evil spirits, who swore allegiance to satan.
Four names for our enemy:
The dragon is a terrifying, dangerous, cruel and powerful enemy.
The serpent of old is the ancient archenemy of God’s people.
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
The devil is a slanderer, accuser, who works to discourage and destroy us.
Satan is an adversary, enemy, and opponent of God and God’s people.
Application:
Saints Accept the privilege and responsibility of being Priest to God and Christ.
We are deprived into playing the blame game.
People are geographically distanced for God’s center of worship
People are generationally removed from God’s interaction among His people.
We reign over our society, we rule under Christ’s authority, and we draw others near.
People
People are many generations distanced from a world deceived and destroyed by the devil’s influence. One Thousand years have pasted since the ruling majority were morally corrupt.
The wolves in sheep’s clothing will be the numerous, maybe even the new majority. The reason for this is because they are generationally distanced from God’s curtailing evil forces in the world.
