Lesson 2
The Plagues
- Fallen Angels seek to be worshipped as
gods.
- When human beings create an idol or
god, a real demon is assigned to the position to become the object of their affections.
- Polytheism
spread because behind each of the gods or goddesses are demons who want to be worshipped
The Plagues
- Each of the 10 plagues that God sent
against the Egyptians was an attack against a particular Egyptian god.
- Example: Turning the Nile into blood
was an attack against the Nile god , Hapi.
- The Egyptian gods were powerless
against God – they all were silent.
- God is superior to the Egyptian or
Babylonian gods.
The Plagues
- Osiris, Isis and Horus were also silent.
- Remember that they are the primary
Egyptian forms of the Babylonian trinity, Baal, Asherah and Tammuz.
The Desert Years
- God freed Israel from captivity – After
just 2 years in the desert they returned to their false Egyptian gods.
- They built a golden calf and claimed
that this was the god that had led them
- ut of slavery.
- Remember
that Nimrod was represented by a bull – The Chaldean word for “ruler” also meant “bull”.
- Gold
was chosen because gold depicted the color of the sun.
The Desert Years
- Hindus regard bulls as sacred?
- Look for the threads, connect the dots,
and you’ll always end up back at Babylon.
- Moses returned from the mountain to
find the Israelites defiling themselves by the Babylonian worship of Nimrod and Semiramis.
The Desert Years
- The very existence of hope, life and
liberty hinged on what happened to the Jews.
- God’s plan for the world depended
- n keeping His people unpolluted.
- The Messiah who would die for the
sins of the world would be born of them.
Plan A & B
- Satan desires domination or control.
- He uses two methods to do this: Plan A,
manipulation (feminine: moon goddess) and plan B, intimidation (Masculine: sun god or Baal).
- Satan manipulated the fallen angels,
Adam, Eve, Nimrod, and Muhammad.
- Satan attempted to manipulate Jesus.
Plan A & B
- Satan intimidated the Jews by threat of
destruction (thought history)
- Satan used violence (intimidation) by
having Jesus crucified – Plan B.
- Hatred of the Jews is a result of Satan’s
plans for world domination.
Ahab & Jezebel
- God
was supreme ruler
- f
Israel through a system of Judges.
- By the time of 1 Samuel the people
demanded a human king in order to be like the other nations.
- After Saul and David a succession of
Kings brought a deterioration
- f
government, division of Israel and Judah, and idolatry flourished.
Ahab & Jezebel
- Spiritual pollution was spread by King
Ahab & Jezebel who established Baal worship and an Asherah pole (a phallic symbol) in Israel, and Jezebel tried to eliminate the worship of the true God of Israel.
- Pagan idolatry, ritual prostitution, and
Satanism in Israel resulted.
- Ahab and Jezebel were nearly identical
to Nimrod and Semiramis in carrying
- ut Satan’s plan.
God versus Baal
- Israel
prostituted itself with the Babylonian religion. 1 Kings 18:21-40
- Elijah challenged the priests of Baal to
a contest
- n
Mount Carmel to determine whose God is real.
- He chose a mountain for this contest
to challenge the “god’s” of the high places.
God versus Baal
The priests of Baal cut themselves in ritual. “One of the evidences of the increasing influence of paganism on society today as we hurtle towards the new world order, the antichrist and the end times, is the rise in self harm, tattooing and unusual piercings. Particularly tattoos have become socially acceptable and Christians have fallen prey to this pollution. Ronald Scutt, in his book Art, Sex and Symbol remarks how tattooing was historically associated with Baal worship, sun worship and serpent worship.”
The Jezebel Spirit
- Jezebel
is mentioned in Revelation 2:20-24 indicating that there is still a Jezebel spirit among us. Rev 2:20 …thou sufferest that woman Jezebel… to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols…. 24 But… unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths [deep secrets]
- f Satan….
The Jezebel Spirit
- Satan’s “deep secrets” – “a direct reference
to the secret serpent knowledge from Eden that forms the basis of the Mysteries that
- ccultist are so anxious to know.”
- This speaks of a type of demonic influence
in the church
- f
the same type that controlled Jezebel in 1 Kings.
- This demonic spirit existed before queen
Jezebel, and goes back to Semiramis – they were both controlled by the same spirit which is the spirit of Astarte which is the spirit of witchcraft.
The Jezebel Spirit
- A Jezebel spirit seeks domination and to
achieve this end uses manipulation (Plan A) and intimidation (Plan B) – this spirit may apply to either males or females.
- The goal is domination by using Plan A
- r Plan B.
- Both plans are aiming for domination
and control over another person which is witchcraft.
- The goal is to replace true spiritual
authority with illegitimate authority.
The Jezebel Spirit
- “Jezebel wants to paralyze with fear,
condemnation, depression, apathy
- r
whatever it takes until we withdraw.”
- “The
- nly
answer for those under Jezebel’s attack is perseverance in battle and remember, the God who resoundingly defeated Baal on Carmel can do the same today.”
Neo-Babylon
- Satan now switched to Plan B as Babylon
attacked Jerusalem.
- Even
though Satan is leading Nebuchadnezzar against God’s people, God has allowed it to discipline His people, and most important, God is always in control.
Neo-Babylon
- Nebuchadnezzar built the famous Ishtar
Gate with 337 images.
- Ishtar = Astarte or Asherah.
- 337
in pagan numerology means “hell.”
- We should keep in mind that much of the
Old Testament is a constant battle between two kingdoms. Satan’s and God’s.
The Four Kingdoms
- Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue – Satan’s Four
Kingdoms (Dan 2):
- Head of Gold = Babylon
- Chest and Arms of Silver
= Medo- Persia
- Belly and Thighs of Bronze = Greece
- Legs of Iron = Rome
- Feet of Iron & Clay = Revived Rome of
the End-Times.
The Four Kingdoms
- A rock cut out of a mountain (God’s
Kingdom) will destroy the statue by striking the feet, thus destroying Satan’s kingdom.
- The rock becomes a big mountain or
kingdom, the Millennium Kingdom
- f
Christ.
The Four Kingdoms
- Gnosticism appears during the Greecian
kingdom period (356-323 BC).
- The Babylon religion became known
as “Gnosticism”.
- The word “Gnosis” in Greek means
“knowledge”.
- Secret knowledge – the lie in the
Garden.
The Four Kingdoms
- High priestesses were ordained through
sexual rituals.
- There were still blood oaths, secret
handshakes, signals, symbols, passwords, and fornication as part of worship.
- Yahwey – Evil God.
- Serpent – Good God.
The Four Kingdoms
- The name Gnosticism was used for the
Mysteries right up until the time of Jesus and for some period afterwards. Some Gnostics in fact saw in Jesus a similarity between him and their pagan serpent as they believed he was dispensing knowledge of the kingdom of God.
- The Jew’s form of Gnosticism is known
as Cabala or Kabbalah meaning hidden secrets.
The Pergamos Detour
- When Babylon fell to Medo-Persia there
was no direct successor to the high priesthood
- f
the Mysteries. No
- figurehead. Not only that but all the
priests and sorcerers of the religion fled from Babylon to Pergamos, where Satan’s seat is (Rev 2:13).
- Pergamos’ altar
- f
Zeus has been relocated to Berlin, Germany.
- Pergamos also worshiped the serpent.
Caesar
- The kings of Pergamos were made the
High Priests of the Mysteries.
- Around 133 BC when Attalus, the last
king of Pergamos died, and left in his will all his dominions to the Roman people.
- Thus
the kingdom
- f
Pergamos merged entirely into Rome and once again no one could openly lay claim to the title
- f
High Priest
- f
the Babylonian Mysteries until Julius Caesar in 63 BC.
Jesus
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV
- Jesus crushed the head of the serpent
but his heel was bruised in the process.
- He was crucified at the hands of the
Romans but then rose from the dead
- n the third day, defeating sin and
crushing death.
Jesus
- Two points to take from this:
- First, God had spent the Old Testament
years introducing Himself to the Jews so that they could introduce Him to the rest
- f us Gentiles.
- A key point here is that nothing that
God gives us is ever just for ourselves.
- Everything he gives us is for the
benefit of others.
Jesus
- Secondly, for church leaders, notice how
effective small groups are for explosive growth and really solid discipleship.
- If each of Jesus’ 12 disciples followed
his
- rders
and made 12 more disciples, then,
- If each of these disciples had 12 of
their own, then within 5 phases we would go from 12 to almost 3 million.
