To be rewarded requires humility. Just as a dog is rewarded for the obedience to its master (not to diminish salvation), but Christians must be obedient to their masters. Dogs are said to be man’s best friend, and so it is with mankind to God.
Never forget this, you are not gods, just as is written in scripture. [i] Neither will you ever be gods, nor will you ever be angels. Christians must have a realistic viewpoint of themselves to be Christians; that you must, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up” [ii] is what God expects from you!
Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to
God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify
your hearts, you double minded. [iii]
‘Glorious,’ again, is the Image in which God made you, but
now everyone, yourselves, come short of the glory of God. [iv] That is repeated, and will
be again, so that you understand that you are not who you think you are! You
are not the star of it all, the greatest singer in the world, the prettiest
little thing ever, or any grand thing. You are not who you think you are; you
are a beast!
However, loving masters care about their dogs and other pets, and God cares about those who adore Him just as pets love their masters. Dogs and other pets serve you! Sure, they may lick and cavort with others but when the special love comes, dogs come to you! Christians are to be the same way:
No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat 6:24)
Many are afraid of the supernatural, but rather, it is
really the natural world that perturbs you. Because natural born people are of
this world, they trust the world, more so than what they cannot see. Many trust
the ‘bread’ which they make themselves rather than the ‘Bread of Life’ which is
from heaven. The ‘Bread of Life’ is symbolic terminology for Jesus.
How is it known that mankind has the nature of the Beast?
They behave much like the original ‘Beast.’
The apostle John was given a special tour of the future.
There, “The beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority.” [v]
John did not see some mythological being in the manner of
the Greek god, Pan — part man and part human — he saw the nature of the
Beast.
Lucifer mimics God in all he does. “I will be like the Most
High.” [vi] The Most High LORD GOD
has three natures: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost.
Earlier, it was explained that as the ‘Son,’ Jesus, was not
the reproduction of the Father but of the actual Genome of Father God. His
genetic identity is the Father. He was the exact glorious Image of God, only
with the flesh of a human.
Likewise, the Holy Ghost of Jesus is indeed the phantom
Image of Yahweh (Selem in the Hebrew from Gen 1:27). The Holy Ghost must
never be blasphemed [vii]
because the Holy Ghost is identically God Himself in Spirit form!
Just as God has three substances, so has Lucifer.
Lucifer is the ‘Bringer of Light’ — the light bearing angel.
However, Jesus is really the ‘Light of the World’ [viii] Therefore Lucifer is a
liar, and He is the ‘Bringer of Darkness.” Light is truth and darkness is
deception.
Therefore, the outer appearance of Satan, or Lucifer, would
be as the light bearing one, sort of like Jesus was when He was transfigured.
Jesus “was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and
his raiment was white as the light” [ix]
On that mountain, Jesus revealed to those present just who He was! Yahweh
is not Lucifer; He is Jesus! However, as an angel, Lucifer can appear to be the
‘Light of the World,’ albeit he really is the ‘Prince of the Power of the Air’ —
the ’Spirit of Disobedience.’ [x]
Lucifer was the Spirit of Disobedience that was in the
Garden of Eden. Lucifer is not a ‘Serpent’ but a cunning serpent-like creation.
[xi]
When John described the Beast, he described not a
mythological Serpent, but a real cunning being, to wit: “like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”
A leopard is swift. The Beast resembled a panther,
not literally a leopard. A panther is not dark spotted like a leopard, but coal
black.

Inwardly, Lucifer is not what Eve
saw — an angel of light — but another image, a ‘Nahas’ (Hebrew) that was
dark inside. Hence, the Image of God is not a walking man, but a phantom in the
shape of a man. Likewise, the Image of Lucifer is not a ‘Serpent,’ as has been
translated so often, but darkness within. That is not to imply that Lucifer
resembles a panther, or any other animal, but that he has a beastly nature.
One facet of the nature of Lucifer
was likened into a panther, a bear, and a lion. However, a ‘dragon’ gave the
Beast his power. Rather than accepting the superstition of a dragon,
that the original Hebrew needs to define it. Therein, a ‘dragon’ is a monster!
Therefore, the Beast is a creature
whose power comes from a monster of some sort. Any monster is a “threatening
force”
Lucifer said, “I will be like the
Most High.” [xii]
The ‘Monster’ (Dragon) is Lucifer who alleges to have the Power of God. (He,
however, does not because God alone is ‘Almighty.’)
Monsters seem scary in motion pictures,
but monsters are just powers. Eve was not afraid of her ‘monster’ and
even trusted him. The point herein is that Eve did not have conversation with a
Serpent or any scary being at all, but with a threatening power who she saw as
non-threatening because he (it) was a beautiful angel.
So many doubt the truth of
scripture because they believe that Eve was engaging with a horrific mythological
being, but Lucifer was as real as God Himself!
Just as the “Holy Trinity’ is the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost and is three substances in One Being, so it
is with the ‘Unholy Trinty:’ the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. John
saw Lucifer come undone: “I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet.” [xiii]
Those unclean spirits were not
like frogs in any manner but their motion. They were spirits; they were
invisible substances that were belched from the mouths of the Monster. The
Dragon, or Monster, did not have three mouths but three substances just like
the Holy Trinity.
Just as Jesus was the ‘Word’ in the
Old Testament, the False Prophet is the deceptive word of the dragon.
Jesus was the Good Voice which spoke
to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the False Prophet whose words came
from the mouth of the so-called ‘Serpent.’
The point herein is that
Christians are looking for three separate beings to come at the end of days.
Perhaps they should be looking for one monstrous being that is a Beast and a
spoken thought.
That ‘Monster’ may not be a man
at all. He could be an appearance of Lucifer on Earth again, or Lucifer could
again shape-shift. All that is for sure is that some alien being, whether man or
a creature created by man, will engage us as a friendly agent to deceive us,
but inwardly that being will be evil. (The cunning part of that is that Christians
are all awaiting a man, but it is just another ‘extant’ being, as the Hebrew
word ‘is in Genesis 4:1 implies.
The Image of the Beast is uncertain, but its nature is not! The ‘Antichrist’ will be the Image of the Unholy Trinity Monster. It will be recognized by its works which are the same as evil men (the works of the lost):
The works of the flesh
are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and
such like. [xiv]
It could even be a woman! It
could even be transhuman. It will be whatever it takes to deceive, because that
is the very nature of the Beast.
