Our spiritual life story in a nutshell: the short version

 

The Angelic/Earthly Summary of good to bad and to back to good

Revelation 12:7 recaps the story of life from the beginning to where we are now and where we’re going. Lucifer and the angels turned on God. Tried to stage a coup, it flopped. Archangel Michael and his angels defended them, went to war and won. Lucifer is now referred to as ‘the dragon’ – cast out of heaven with a third of the angels and fell to earth. Lucifer gets more nicknames; serpent/devil/satan. This “spiritual” war is now spread across the earth – enter humans to the stage. We get corrupted by the devil and his minions along with all the air water land and animals and creatures on the earth. Great. Thanks. Could have left us out of it. People ask, where did he come from? Ezekiel 28:11-16 confirmed/verified satan was made by God; kicked out of paradise to roam the earth serving a life sentence on death row and wanted to take us with him. Um. Nope! Nice try though. Suffer by yourself sir. We are created by God just like everything else in heaven and earth (Colossians 1:13-16) and we have ZERO interest in your crap!

 

But nonetheless, here we are. So now we know. Satan corrupted himself. God didn’t do that. He chose to be bad. The others did, also. Any human on earth with full sound mind body and spirit also has choice to be good or bad. Do you want to pretend you’re God and place yourself at the highest mountain and fake like you’re the Most High or do you want to humbly get by and keep your head low and avoid the punishments to come? As for me and mine, we may make a lot of mistakes in this one and only life but ultimately, at the end of the day, we choose to serve the Lord!




So, God gives us a way out. Hell, and permanent torment for all eternity was not designed for us; it was made for the fallen angels and satan. But if anyone chooses to go with them, God will hurtfully oblige. The only sin God can’t forgive is the one you don’t let Him. Do not reject or blaspheme the Holy Spirit, he’s your ride out of here! He’s your spiritual Uber or Lyft! Get in! He’s going to lead you Jesus Christ who is the only way back to God! (John 14:6).

 

It's all going to be super confusing, I know. How do you tell the lies from the truth? The Scriptures! (Matthew 4:5-6). Satan’s last days we consume and deceive everyone EXCEPT the elect. God’s chosen ones. You see, it says, “if possible” but it’s not. The devil CANNOT fool GOD and GOD does NOT deceive His chosen ones. Don’t believe the hype. Jesus destroys the devil/satan/the antichrist and all their followers. They all end up in eternal torment. Not God’s chosen children safe in the Kingdom of Jesus! Yay! We win because Jesus fought our war for us and it’s over! The end of the story for the enemy but our story is just beginning, we get all of eternity under new heaven and new earth with Jesus Christ! Amen. (Revelation 12)
