Lucifer was head of worship. He lusted to be God , the one to be worshipped, rather than be content with his purpose. he led rebellion and was thrown out of Heaven. But man was created in the Image of God, was tempted by Lucifer to make the same mistake . We did. We too were thrown out of the Garden. But with a promise that the heel of the deceived woman would crush the head of Lucifer. Her seed.. offspring, born of a Virgin , the Son of God would defeat Lucifer and save us. But then when Jesus came He offered so much more than we ever thought possible. Not only salvation from eternal death and restoration to God but UNion with Him, never to be separated again. He came and when He went He sent His Holy Spirit to live in us to conform us to His Image again. It will be finished. The angels were in awe when Jesus put on flesh and in doing so He made us forever His family. I do not think it is possible based on His plan to make us like Jesus when we see Him, to ever fall again.Lucifer has gone on as from the beginning running to and fro seeking to destroy deceive and kill. He will be forever punished. I'm sure others can add more than this.Watererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412021868987276179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-11322444312710433292014-04-17T14:13:21.020-04:002014-04-17T14:13:21.020-04:00Scott, or anybody ,

If heaven has no more sin, death, suffering, and all the perks we hold steadfastly to how then, did Lucifer and the countless other angles turn evil and end up being removed from heaven?????????<br />I guess there will always be the unanswered while here on this side.D.

I think in some way he may believe that he can beat the prophecy if he can do certain things...Or maybe he wants to just take whatever he can in whatever time he has left...I dunno , its always been a mystery to me. <br /><br />Gary - I have no idea.

In Lindsay's book Vanished Into Thin Air he quotes Theme as saying the different viewpoints of the rapture are not so much eschatological as ecclesiastical. He says it for the very reasons in this teaching today. The church is in itself a mystery, Christ and the church, a union, Christ in us, the hope of glory. A long hidden secret revealed at the coming of the Holy Spirit. And then the mystery revealed that we will not all sleep but along with those dead in Christ we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. The falling away in apostasy is certainly happening, we will be gathered to Him in His perfect timing.He has not left us as orphans but sent His Holy Spirit to be in us while He is away. He will not leave us orphaned in the trib either. Will we suffer as the days darken. Undoubtedly as many are but we will not be subjects of wrath.Watererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412021868987276179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-58794986453170809302014-04-16T19:34:02.534-04:002014-04-16T19:34:02.534-04:00I watched ABC nightly news, I could've missed ...I watched ABC nightly news, I could've missed it...but I didn't hear anything about Ukraine.

It reminds me of all the politicians who think they know what's best for Israel without even considering what Almighty God has to say about it. If the AC is waiting for us to be removed from the scene, all I can say is: we're just as anxious to leave this place as he is to get rid of us.Dutch Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191664356419324357noreply@blogger.com
