Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, only if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is; you have believed [trusted] in Him for His promised gift of eternal life) John 3:16, John 6:47 as a few examples; it is very important to prepare yourself to learn God's Word so the Holy Spirit can teach you as to what your reading or hearing is true or false. To be taught by the Holy Spirit you must be filled with the Holy Spirit which means abiding in Christ. To place yourself in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit [also called abiding in the Christ], take a moment to simply name, cite or acknowledge [confess] your known unconfessed sins privately to God (i.e.; with your thoughts directed only to God the Father). Why? Because you cannot grow spiritually if you’re not abiding in Christ [in fellowship with Him] when you take in bible truth.
1 John 1:9, says: “If we confess [meaning to simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known unconfessed sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND; read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. Left click the following link to learn more and fully understand the doctrine of Rebound; which answers the question, why do I need to keep confessing my sins all the time? REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus, The Christ alone for eternal life [salvation] and you will be saved [receive Eternal Life] the very micro second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [Num 21:4-9], even so must the Son of Man be lifted up [the cross], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:

NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references;” if just hover doesn’t work, do a “control-left-click,” if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Internet Church Service – April 2, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 13 is in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.
The Angelic Conflict - Part 13 - Point 4. - Two Categories of Fallen Angels Under the Command of Satan
(1) Non-operational angels.
a) Gen 6 angels involved in the angelic attack to infiltrate the human race, now in Tartarus.
b) The first demon assault army incarcerated in the abyss at this time.
The abyss is the location of the demon king Abaddon or Apollyon, Satan’s assistant or his right-hand man.
1. Only those in the cosmic system, the world system, can be attacked. Believers who are PTD [positive towards doctrine] are protected by a wall of fire.
2. They cannot kill their victims - this relates to crisis evangelism.
These demons actually have the power and the ability to be visible to man.
Locusts are used for an army of destruction. Scorpions are used as an analogy for torture. This is all a manifestation of the grace of God as warning before judgment!
This is God’s last appeal to the believer to get out of the cosmic system and to the unbeliever to become born again and saved!
Their target will be made up of people who live in the cosmic system, believers and unbelievers of the Tribulation.
Col 1:16 “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities -- all things have been created by Him and for Him.”
Those who have the seal of God became saved after the Rapture, during the Tribulation, and are slaves or servants to God. They carry out the will and the purpose of God.
Their target includes only those people who actually reside in the cosmic system, but they cannot kill them.
torment = basanizo = to question by applying torture, to torture, to vex with grievous pains (used of body or mind), to torment, to be harassed, to be distressed.
Before TLJC [The Lord Jesus Christ] comes back in the Second Coming (Second Advent), Satan turns on his own kingdom.
Luk 9:25 “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?”
When our Lord returns to the earth, He doesn’t find a thriving world under the rulership of Satan but a kingdom divided - the kingdom of darkness is divided against itself.
So great is the pain and suffering from this demon assault army that many will seek death but they will never find it.
Only when a believer’s in fellowship, learning and applying Bible doctrine, and executing the plan of God, does he have any way of coping with adversity.
Good decisions result in great blessing and prosperity. Bad decisions result in great adversity. Man is the product of his own decisions!
As a result of living in the cosmic system, they will seek as the only solution to their problems the one solution which is a total admission of defeat - suicide.
The issue = the Millennial reign is about to start and every unbeliever is going to be removed from the earth by the baptism of fire - this is their last chance to be saved!
As believers they have hit the bottom, and the only decision that they can make that will start their recovery is to rebound, or if they’re unbelievers, to become a believer.
