1. The Second Appearance of Satan: The Church of God
Understanding the true nature of Satan is a challenging task. The Bible testifies that Satan's first appearance was through the Catholic Church, and his second appearance is through the Church of God. Many find this hard to believe because the human mind and eyes cannot fully comprehend the spiritual world. The only way to understand the true nature of Satan is by relying on biblical prophecy, which acts as a lamp shining in the darkness.

2 Peter 1:19: "We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place."

In this way, prophecy transcends human understanding and reveals the truth about the dark world.

2. Daniel and Revelation: The Opening of Sealed Prophecies
Without understanding the history of physical Israel in the Bible, it is impossible to comprehend the history of spiritual Israel. The Book of Daniel contains prophecies about the history of physical Israel, which are sealed. However, Revelation unveils these prophecies, providing a crucial key to uncovering Satan's true nature. Only when the prophecies in the Bible are revealed can the truth about Satan be fully understood.

Revelation 18:1-2:
"After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice, he shouted: ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’"

This passage signifies that Satan’s nature is revealed through authority descending from heaven. This authority is delivered through the two witnesses, exposing Satan’s identity.

3. The Two Witnesses and the Reality of Satan
In Revelation 11:3, the authority given to the two witnesses plays a critical role in revealing Satan’s true nature. The two witnesses, empowered by God, expose Satan’s identity through their prophecies. The Church of God is described as a dwelling place of Satan, and the people gathered there are his followers.

Revelation 11:3:
"And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."

Through the prophecies of the two witnesses, Satan’s hidden evils are brought to light.

4. The Reality of the Church of God and Satan’s Power
Revelation 18:4-10 describes the collapse of the system established by Satan’s immorality through the Church of God. The Church of God emerges as a manifestation of Satan, with its members as his followers. Through the cry of an angel descending from heaven, the downfall of Satan’s church is proclaimed, bringing great calamity upon its followers.

Revelation 18:10:
"Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!’"

This passage highlights the Church of God as Satan’s fortress, where his forces operate. God exposes the church’s true nature through the prophecies of the two witnesses, leading to its eventual destruction.

5. The Resurrection and Ascension of the Two Witnesses: The Fall of the Church of God
In Revelation 18:21, the destruction of the Church of God is depicted by a mighty stone cast from heaven. This stone symbolizes the power that destroys the Church of God and Satan’s forces. The verse implies that after the resurrection and ascension of the two witnesses, the Church of God will fall swiftly.

Revelation 18:21:
"Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: ‘With such violence, the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.’"

This signifies the complete collapse of Satan’s dominion.

6. Conclusion: Fulfillment of Prophecies and Revelation of Satan
Satan’s true nature is revealed through biblical prophecy, appearing in the form of the Church of God. The two witnesses, empowered by God, play a vital role in exposing the evil nature of Satan’s forces. Through their prophecies, the ultimate truth about Satan is unveiled, leading to God’s triumph. As the prophecies are fulfilled, Satan’s forces, including the Church of God, will collapse, and the heavenly sanctuary will be restored.

Revelation 11:15:
"The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.’"

The fulfillment of prophecies revealing the Church of God as Satan’s stronghold confirms God’s victory.
