Satan as the dragon will be cast to the earth at the beginning of the Five Month Long Hour of Temptation, to plant his feet upon the sand of the sea. We can see in E.W Bullinger’s Commentary on Revelation, the correct translation for Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 1 should say the “dragon stood upon the sand of the sea.’
I believe in a figurative sense the dragon during that time, will stand upon the sand of the sea.
Who are the sand of the sea?
The sand of the sea are the stars of heaven, and they are God’s children as it is stated in Genesis 22:17-18. Satan, who is the dragon, will have his feet upon most Christians throughout the five-month long hour of temptation after he and his angels are cast out of heaven at the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet. It is in the middle of the five month long hour of temptation at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet Satan will have successively stamped the eternal life out of most of Christianity which will be a third of the world’s population at that time.
What is within us that Satan wants to destroy?
Let’s take a look.
Genesis 3:15 KJVS
“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.”
Our Heavenly Father said this to Satan after he wholly seduced Eve in the garden of Eden.
In Genesis Chapter 3 verse 15 we can see there were two seeds were in Eve.
Satan’s seed are his children the Kenites, and the woman’s seed will lead to Jesus Christ who is the Seed of Life. Although Abel was murdered, the physical seed line to Christ continued through Seth as we can see in Genesis Chapter 5 verse 3.
After Cain who was of Satan killed Abel, we can see Abel’s blood cries unto our Heavenly Father from the ground In Genesis Chapter 4 verses 10.
The earth which I believe can be symbolic of the flesh, swallowed up Abel’s blood, and hence a pure bloodline which is to say a pure lineage, continued from Seth to the espoused virgin Mary to bring forth in this Second World Age the birth of the true King of Israel, Jesus Christ (Luke Chapter 3 Verses 23 through 28.)
God cursed Cain, after he slew Abel.
Genesis 4:11 KJVS
“And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;”
After Abels death, another seed was appointed to Eve (Genesis Chapter 4 verse 25) and that seed appointed was Seth, that would continue a pure bloodline down to the espoused virgin Mary in which Jesus Christ, would be born through.
This pure bloodline was protected to bring us the Seed (Jesus Christ) who ultimately brought us the promise of Eternal Life through His Blood that was shed upon the cross.
In Genesis Chapter 17, we see this Bloodline continue through Abraham to and through his son Isaac.
Genesis 17:6-7 KJVS
“And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. [7] And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.”
Romans 9:6-8 KJVS
[6] “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: [7] Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. [8] That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.”
The King that fulfills that Promise ultimately came from Abraham’s seed, and He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.
From the beginning and throughout this Second World Age, Satan has tried many attempts to stop the birth of our Lord and Savior. Satan’s has made several attempts to stop us from having the Promise of Eternal Life through Jesus Christ who is THE SEED.
The Man Child will rule, and Satan can’t stop that.
Revelation 12:4-5 KJVS
“And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
Eternal Life has been given to us through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross. Jesus Christ’s saving Blood has entered into us to cleanse us from our sins and has given us Eternal Salvation through His Righteous Blood that was shed that day on Calvary.
Hebrews 2:9-10 KJVS “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. [10] For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”
And,
John 3:16-17 KJVS
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
Jesus Christ was caught up unto to God, and to His Throne, after He resurrected, and His Seed carries on in our earthly vessels today. After Jesus Christ was crucified, and resurrected, a pathway to true Israel was established to whomsoever will.
Matthew 7:13-14 KJVS
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
Galatians 3:26-29 KJVS
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
For ye are all one in Christ Jesus, heirs according to the Promise.
True Israel is what lies under your flesh. Eternal Life is in your spirit, and by that Eternal Promise your spirit is true Israel, and true Israel after Christ died and resurrected consist of ALL who believe upon Him, regardless of ones fleshly make up (Romans Chapter 9 verses 6 through 8.)
Anyone can be true Israel if they will believe in Jesus Christ.
However, at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet the promise of Eternal Inheritance, which is to say being true Israel, will be stamped out of many Christians when Satan makes his appearance as the Antichrist. The third of the world’s population who are Christians at that time will fall away in the great apostasy from the true Christ, believing at that time Satan, when he appears as the false Christ in Jerusalem, is the true giver of everlasting life.
Nevertheless, there will be a remnant of the woman’s seed here during that last half of the five-month long hour of temptation which is the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, that will keep the Seed of Life within them and remain true Israel. This remnant is the Church of Philadelphia, which are 232 final remnant . I believe, the church of Philadelphia are the final remnant of the 7,000 elect that will be here to serve our Heavenly Father at that time, and they will serve our Heavenly Father along with the Two Witnesses who are most likely Moses and Elijah, who will also remain true Israel.
The Seed of Life is within the spiritual body that makes you true Israel, and those trusted servants who make up the church of Philadelphia (232 of them possibly) at and during the woe of the sixth trumpet, along with the two witnesses will be unwavering spirits that will remain true to our Heavenly Father.
I believe what matters is the Seed that is within us, (1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 36 through 44,) rather than what our flesh (earth) is made up of.
The 7000 elect have been brought through in each of their appointed generations throughout this second world age, all the way down to the final remnant that will be delivered up for a testimony during the woe of the sixth trumpet. As Seth was an appointed seed to Eve, after Abels death, so were and are the rest of the 7,000 elect throughout their appointed generations in this second world age.
Romans 11:1-5 KJVS
“I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. [2] God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”
Yes, there is a remnant according to the election of grace brought through in this Second World Age in each of their appointed generations all the way down to the final remnant (of her Seed) who are the church of Philadelphia. They are our Heavenly Father’s loyal and trusted servants who will serve alongside the two witnesses that will be here on earth during that time.
Having the Seed of Eternal Life within them and being of that Seed, the church of Philadelphia being one of the seven churches in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3, will maintain a desire to the Bride Groom who is our Lord Jesus Christ. They and obviously the two witnesses will stay faithful to Him when most of Christianity lose their desire for the true Christ and become a harlot to Satan as the antichrist when the sixth trumpet sounds.
What did Our Heavenly Father say to Eve?
Genesis 3:16 KJVS
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
True Israel is what’s inside us, and it is the Seed of Eternal Life. The dragon will be wroth with those who will and others who will eventually overcome Satan’s deception before the true Christ returns at the woe of the seventh trumpet. Satan will make war with the remnant of her seed which will be the two witnesses who are most likely Moses and Elijah (Revelation Chapter 11), all who remained of her Seed, which are the church of Philadelphia, and those who become of that Seed (and some once again) before the seventh angel sounds.
Yes, indeed there will be those who will overcome the spiritual whoredom with Satan when the Holy Spirit uses the good earth (the church of Philadelphia and the two witnesses) to help them overcome and become true Israel which is to say of her Seed, for some once again. In the next study we will look at the good earth who will be used to help the woman overcome Satan’s flood of deception.
Under your flesh is Abrahams Seed ,who is Jesus Christ and you are heirs according to the Promise. You are of that Seed and that is what Satan wants to eventually stamp out of you.
To be continued.
