manager 24-11-27 13:00 125 hit

1. Satan's Rebellion and Identity
1.1. The Allegory of the Garden of Eden
God used the story of the Garden of Eden as a symbolic illustration of how Satan deceives His people.

  • Satan appeared as a serpent, luring Adam and Eve into defying God's command.
  • Genesis 3:4-5: “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
    This was not merely an act of eating forbidden fruit but a reflection of Satan's ambition and the rebellion of the angels.

1.2. Satan’s First Rebellion and Expulsion

  • Satan rejected God’s rule and led a rebellion in heaven but was defeated and cast down to earth.
  • Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:16-17 depict Satan's pride and subsequent downfall.
  • Along with other fallen angels, Satan began his work of deception among humanity and nations.

1.3. Satan’s Second Rebellion

  • Jesus Christ came to save the fallen angels who had been cast down.
  • However, Satan used religious leaders to crucify Jesus.
  • Through His resurrection and ascension, Jesus drove Satan out of heaven completely.
  • Revelation 12:9: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.”

2. Satan’s Kingdom: The Identity of the Little Horns
2.1. The Prophecy of Daniel

  • Daniel prophesied about Satan’s power through two little horns.
  • The first little horn symbolizes Catholicism, while the second little horn represents the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG).
  • Satan’s goal is to spread idolatry and false doctrines through these entities.

2.2. Catholicism: The First Little Horn

  • Catholicism, as the first little horn, enforced idolatry and persecuted God’s people.
  • Historical events like the Inquisition and the Crusades reflect this persecution.
  • Although reformers opposed Catholicism, they failed to achieve complete spiritual liberation, mirroring Adam and Eve’s spiritual failure under the serpent’s deception.

2.3. The World Mission Society Church of God: The Second Little Horn

  • Satan’s second little horn, the WMSCOG, deceives believers and spreads doctrinal confusion.
  • By idolizing Ahn Sahng-hong and Jang Gil-ja, it enforces false teachings and tightens its control over adherents.

3. The Mission of God’s People: Spiritual Warfare Against Satan
3.1. The Nature of Spiritual Warfare

  • Scripture calls God’s people to battle against the forces of evil.
  • Ephesians 6:12: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
  • Once Satan’s identity is revealed, the focus shifts to combating his doctrines and organizations.

3.2. The Word of God as the Ultimate Weapon

  • God’s Word is the most potent weapon in spiritual warfare.
  • Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword...”
  • Believers must use the Word to discern Satan’s false doctrines and proclaim the truth.

3.3. The Goal of the Battle: Restoring Truth

  • The purpose of fighting against Satan is to restore truth and save those deceived by falsehoods.
  • Revelation 19:14-15: “Coming out of His mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.”

4. Conclusion: The Mission of God’s Army

  • God’s people must identify Satan’s tactics and oppose the doctrinal distortions and systemic oppression he establishes.
  • This battle is fought not with physical weapons but through the dissemination of God’s Word and truth.
  • Rescuing believers from the deception of the first little horn (Catholicism) and the second little horn (WMSCOG) is the mission of today’s prophetic leaders.
  • Fully understanding and upholding the truth of Scripture is the most powerful tool against Satan’s forces. As God’s army, we are called to wield His Word and dismantle every lie propagated by Satan’s kingdom.
