Beyond the Darkness: The Unseen Battle in the Heavenly Realm

Since the first seal was opened in the 1600s, the world has entered a period of global misguidance. The Bible is now often read without paying attention to the author's intention, but is interpreted with a modern understanding that rejects the supernatural aspect. In fact, the spiritual realm and the physical realm are two inseparable aspects of the world described by the Bible. Through this article, hopefully we all want to humble ourselves to see the Word of God as it is, without forcing our own understanding.

Elohim (o'n7x) → Search and watch this Youtube video "Bible Project Indonesia - Elohim" the Bible fully notes that the term elohim refers to spiritual beings, including God, other gods, even angels. An example can be seen in Genesis 1:1; Exodus 12:12, 18:11; Psalm 8:6. The Bible also clearly states that God as the elohim who has the highest power among the elohim or other gods. Because the Lord is a great God, and a great King overcomes all gods (elohim) - Psalm 95:3 You are highly glorified above all gods (elohim) - Psalm 97:9 divine Council / Sidang Ilahi → Search and watch this Youtube video "Bible Project Indonesia - Sidang Ilahi" God stands in a divine congregation, among the gods he judges - Psalm 82:1 So, if we believe in the Bible, it is very clear that God does not rule alone. He is willing to delegate His power to His creatures, both to the divine rulers in heaven and to humans on earth. Read 1 Kings 22:19-22 and Job 1:6-7, 2:1-2, 38:1-7 → children of God (Bene Elohim) double Rebellion / Double Rebellion → Search and watch this Youtube video "Bible Project - Satan & Evil Spirit" The woman saw... (see) That the fruit of the tree is good... (good) That tree attracts the heart... (desire) He took it and ate it... (took) (See) The children of God see... (Good) that human children are beautiful... (Desire) whoever they like... (Took) they took as a wife... So, God drove him out of the Garden of Eden so that He tried the land from which he was taken - Genesis 3:23 And angels who don't keep the limits of power Them, but leave their residence Them, He has bound with eternal shackles... - Judas 1:6 (AYT) Human rebellion is idolatry, which is when someone places a desire or himself Alone above God's authority (1 Samuel 15:23; Je 3:5-6; Romans 1:25). From the beginning, Eve's disobedience showed Man's tendency to prioritize his own desires over God's commandments. (Ex 20:3-5). On the other hand, the rebellion of some angels, as recorded in Genesis 6:2, is a sexual sin, when They broke the line by wanting a relationship with humans, similar to the sexual sin in Sodom and Gomorrah (Judas 1:6-7; 2 Peter 2:4-6). God's judgment on the rebellion of humans and angels shows His hatred for two sins these: idolatry and sexual sin, because both destroy the covenant relationship with God.

And destroy the order that He set (1 Corinthians 10:7-8; Isaiah 44:18; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20).

The Invincible War / Invisible War

God wants humans to rule on earth.

→ Satan persuaded Adam & Eve to rebel.

The descendants of humans will defeat the serpent → Satan destroys mankind with an angelic rebellion.

God reset the earth through the flood and Noah → Satan incited Noah's descendants to build Babylon.

God chose Abraham & His covenant son → Satan used the descendants of Ishmael to fight the descendants of Isaac.

God made Jacob into Israel.

→ Satan used the Egyptian Pharaoh to crush the Israelites.

God chose David and his descendants.

→ Satan made a rebellion to cut off David's descendants.

Even until now, the Church of God and the Nation of Israel are constantly tried to be destroyed by the wicked.

CONCLUSION:

1. Do not turn a blind eye to the spirit / spiritual world conveyed by the Word of God.

2. The most important choice in our lives is whose side we are on? Believe in God & His Word?

3. Later we will serve in God's Divine congregation, live properly & be loyal to God.
