THE COVENANT WITH DEATH

Part X

In our last chapter of the Covenant With Death, we addressed the fact the Scriptures tell us that because Satan's "house" is divided, Jesus Christ told us Satan's kingdom cannot stand, and he "hath an end."

"A house divided against a house falleth…If Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end" (Mark 3:16).

This is rather ironic as the present series has labored to show that the "princes" of the earthly kingdoms are spiritual beings – thinking themselves to be "gods" – which have manipulated the earthly empires for thousands of years.

For instance, in Daniel we see how the "prince" of Persia withstood an angel, sent to Daniel, for 3 weeks!

"Then he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand…thy words were heard…but the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days" (Daniel 10:12).

The Lord has revealed that the "princes" which influenced the Gentile empires of antiquity shifted domiciles in the AD Christian era, and the characteristics of those kingdoms indicated that the "prince" of Babylon in the BC Old Testament era became the "prince" of Britain in the AD Christian era.

Likewise, the "prince of the kingdom of Persia" (Daniel 10:12) was the hidden power behind the Soviet Union, even as the "prince of Grecia (Daniel 10:20) in the BC timeline ran the "principality" of the Third Reich of Germany in the AD timeline. The Lord has revealed this relationship with the realization these kingdoms operate in a Prophetic Parallel.

The Grecian/German parallel was followed by "the prince [of the] people…that shall come" (in Rome), that continued thousands of years later as the prince of post-World War II America – seen as the "diverse" beast of Daniel 7:7:

"Behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns" (Daniel 7:7).

Jumping ahead to the end, in the book of Revelation, we see the final fate of Satan, and the two spiritual "beasts" commonly called Antichrist and False Prophet.

 "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone" (Revelation 19:20). 

It's interesting they were said to be "alive" when they were cast in the lake of fire, thus encouraging the Cult to continue with their Dialectical Defense of these two as human beings (i.e. the fiction of "the" Antichrist and "the" False Prophet); however, the word "alive" is consistent with angelic entities that show personality, evil, intellect, and purpose.

In the Old Testament, we find verses that are somewhat complex, as they address spiritual beings, as well as the earthly vessels involved in the great battle between good and evil. Ironically, in Psalms, one of the verses that is relevant to the "end" of Satan, is utilized by the Divine Council heresy, which is an outgrowth of the Rapture Cult.

This area of doctrine is related to the Spiritual standing of the chosen of God – and the end of those that choose to migrate into rebellion to the government of God. These Scriptures relate to the apostates of Israel, as well as the "principalities and powers" (Colossians 2:15) that deceived them.

After multiple verses in which the Lord repudiates Israel for their many sins, God says the following in Psalms:

"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes" (Psalm 82:6,7).

The first fact we would cite is the word "God," as well as "gods," is the same underlying Hebrew word Elohim. This is, by the way, one of the reasons we see the English translation that is the King James Version as divinely inspired, as it is the "third" (Zechariah 13:8) of the significant Scripturaldialects (after the Hebrew and the Greek).

When the Lord chose Israel as His mediator between Himself and the Gentiles, His covenant (The Old Testament law) translated Israelites who submitted themselves to that covenant as the Spiritual sons of God, redeeming them from the earthly Death all humanity experienced at the fall of Adam and Eve.

"When Israel was as child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt" (Hosea 11:1).

Thus the Israelites, as the sons of God, replaced the angelic host of the Nephilim angels who had been the sons of God.

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, that daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men  that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose" (Genesis 6:1,2).

This unholy union resulted in the flood of Noah, and all of this occurred before Israel was chosen to receive the blessing of God. As a result of the salvation that God extended to Israel, those in conformity to His covenant experienced the Spiritual life of God, thereby becoming the sons of God in the Spiritual sphere.

However, the translators understood that the word Elohim could refer to Spiritual beings (as in the "sons of God"), as well as God the creator, so they capitalized God and used a lower case g to refer to the spiritual beings that were created when the LORD chose Israel, as well as the fallen sons of God from the angelic host.

Well after the writing of Genesis and the Psalms, where we encounter the word Elohim, the prophet Isaiah confirms this understanding.

After urging Israel to exhibit the righteousness of God, the prophet writes the following:

"Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that ye may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together" (Isaiah 41:23).

Jesus Himself referenced these Old Covenant verses when the Jews sought to stone Him for saying "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).

I'll remind the reader yet once again, that because the Jews were inhabited by the Spirit of Hell as we have shown (and not the Spirit of Death) in the BC timeline – they were unable to take Him.

"Therefore they sought again to take him, but he escaped out of their hand" (John 10:39).

On that very occasion, Jesus referenced that same verse we've cited in Psalms.

"Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?" (John 10:34-36).

Contrary to the false doctrine surrounding this verse, it is clear Christ is speaking of Israel, because these spiritual beings ("gods") are stated to be the ones "to whom the word of God came." There are, of course, multiple verses that say the word of God came to Israel.

"What advantage then hath the Jew?...much every way, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Romans 3:1,2).

The "Divine Council" heresy claims that after the flood of Noah, the LORD placed the Gentiles under the direct influence of the devils, and Israel was not the mediator between the LORD and the Gentiles. They further say that when Israel escaped from Egypt and went into Canaan, they discovered the Baal Bible, with the stories of the creation, the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden, and the flood of Noah.

The "Baal Bible" says the real God is Baal, and Moses supposedly changed the name to the Hebrew name of the Lord (YHWH), and passed the edited work off as the book of Genesis!

This makes Moses a plagiarist and a liar, when He wrote that the LORD appeared to him in a burning bush! They further say God manages this "Divine Council" which includes devils, which he periodically consults!

Astonishingly, books proclaiming the apostasy that is the "Divine Council" are in Christian bookstores across the nation! Furthermore, the doctrine has penetrated the Rapture Cult, and there is even a statement supporting this fraud in an essay in the Rapture Cult Bible that is the Scofield Reference Bible – the best selling Bible in the last century!

There is much more, so I refer the reader to my lengthy refutation (including the names of some of the preachers propagating this evil) of the doctrine in book and DVD form entitled Dead Men's Bones.

Contextually speaking, I've gone to the trouble of elaborating on these difficult texts because of the very next verse in Psalm 82:6, which is the verse where the Psalmist writes "I have said, Ye are gods."

"But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes" (Psalm 82:7).

In other words, even though the Lord considered those that were obedient to His Old Covenant in the BC timeline to be spiritual beings (Elohim), those that "know not" and do not "understand [that] walk on in darkness" (Psalm 82:5) will still die, "and fall like one of the princes" who were the sons of God, but were superseded in that coveted role by Israel.

In short, the "princes" in that context are the fallen angels that "hath an end" (Mark 3:26) with Satan, as God will judge them, and they will be cast into the Lake of Fire with the evil Israelites that turned against God, as well as the Gentiles who served the devils as gods.

Apparently these "princes" now know their rebellion will be judged by the Lord at the "great white throne" judgment (Revelation 20:11), as when they first saw Jesus, they cried out in alarm: 

"And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" (Matthew 8:29).
