Satan Fell from Heaven
We continue in our journey through Luke.
We have made it to Chapter 10.
Probably do a Q&R next week, so get your questions ready!
Suggest you go back through the first nine chapters and see if something triggers your memory.
You should be able to read that in 15-20 minutes.
But First...
Last week we took a look at Jesus changing up how he was interacting with people.
It might have been a bit shocking, but this week we will see why there is a sense of urgency.
Also, we might see why James and John wanted to call fire from heaven down on that Samaritan city.
We examined some difficult passage in the context of
But first…how people have other priorities and they had no idea what was about to happen.
The kingdom of God is coming…now
We are 2,000 years from this event, so our response might be:
yeah, and...
what is the big deal
why should I care
We should care, and this is a big deal.
If you are a Heiser nerd, then this will be old hat to you, although you might learn a few new things!
If you are not, then this may be brand new to you.
Genesis 3, original divine rebel, took out the two humans and us.
Genesis 6, larger divine rebellion, took out mankind.
Genesis 10, list of the 70 (72) nations descended from Noah.
Genesis 11, human rebellion, exiled (spread) everyone across the land.
Genesis 12, Abram is called by God to be the family to bless (redeem) all the scattered people.
Deuteronomy 32, the nations are divided according to the Sons of God, God disinherits the nations, except for Abraham and the land of Israel.
Psalm 82, God judges the Sons of God guilty of disobeying Him, they are cursed to die like humans.
(Where do humans die?
Earth)
(Where do humans go?
Sheol, under the earth)
The Hebrew and Christian Bible is a story, a record, of the conflict between: Fallen Sons of God and God and His divine armies.
Humans loyal to God and humans loyal to the Sons of God
And if we don’t understand this, then major parts of scripture will make no sense.
In fact, those parts will be offensive to us.
This is the context of Scripture, without it, we are not going to understand the meaning, the significance of what we will read in Luke 10 today.
Let’s get moving!
Luke 10:1
Seventy (two)
Why would he send them ahead through the towns and areas he would be traveling?
Let’s find out...
Remember when the disciples asked why they could not drive out a demon, an unclean spirit?
Jesus told them “this kind can only be sent away by prayer.”
Lambs in the midst of wolves…Is Jesus talking about real wolves?
Are these people they should fear?
Or is it something greater?
The HB might say it is something greater.
Always associate with evil people, those who are loyal to the fallen Sons of God.
Interesting language, “son of peace.”
That could mean a human in the house.
It could mean a spirit in the house.
They are territorial.
Same word used for Son of Man and Son of God.
Ambiguous for a reason perhaps...
Eat what is set before you…we miss this.
What if they enter a gentiles house?
What if it is a Roman who has family that was healed?
Eat whatever they put before you.
What if it is not Kosher?
Heal the sick, sign of your authority.
Proclaim the Kingdom of God has come near to you!
If they reject you, proclaim the Kingdom of God has come near!
Why would it be more bearable for Sodom on that day?
What is that day?
Here is why…The Messiah, the promised Son of David, God will be walking through your town.
(remember he sent them ahead to the cities he would be coming through) They will not receive him.
James and John wanted to call down fire, but it was not time, and it is not time now.
On that day, it will be time.
The only city that is in God’s crosshairs is Babylon, that great city we cannot see.
He is not done with the cities though...
Tyre and Sidon are cities that are marked as the enemy of God in the HB.
Many harsh words are written of them.
But none of them had the Messiah walking through them.
You see, Chorizin and Bethsaida hosted the Messiah.
What kind of host were they?
Capernaum, Jesus home city, he declares they will reject him too.
Things seemed to have gone sour.
Final words to the 70, if they reject you, they reject me.
If they reject me, they reject the Father.
THIS IS THE INAUGURATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH!
That is why he cannot wait for someone to bury their father, or say goodbye to their family.
If you were going to be one of the seventy, you have to be willing to leave all and leave now!
How did their mission go?
They were sent ahead to clear the way for Jesus.
They are driving out unclean spirits, claiming territory for the Son of God, for the Messiah, for the King.
Make way for the King!
The battle to reclaim the nations from the fallen Sons of God has begun, right here.
Recorded in your scriptures.
Lords prayer, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Satan fell like lightning, see Jay for the link to Revelation 12 in a few months!
Look at the benefits:
Power over snakes and scorpions.
When you read snake, what do you think?
What about scorpions?
Constellations, the stars, the fallen divine beings.
But that is not the POINT!!!
REJOICE BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE IN HEAVEN!
How does Jesus react to this?
Do you remember the term used for the Nachash in the garden?
The nachash was more Arum, wise, than all the beasts in the field.
