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 – March 26, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 12 in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.
Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven [Satan] which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit [the abyss] was given to him.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the abyss; and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air became darkened by the smoke of the pit.
Rev 9:3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts [the demon army from the Abyss] upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Grace precedes judgment! There is never a judgment which destroys a segment of the human race until first of all that segment of the human race has an opportunity to repent.
Noah preached for 120 years before the flood came. Psa 76:10 “For the wrath of man shall praise Thee”
They are going to be restricted as to what they can do to their target - believers and unbelievers of the Tribulation who live in the cosmic system.
Rev 9:4 And they were told or commanded that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
The alternative to trying to commit suicide is to accept Christ as personal savior - or for believers to rebound and get out of the cosmic system.
Pain can serve as a motivation, but in some cases pain makes a person a lot worse. Pain, suffering, and adversity makes us worse or better, but it never leaves us the same.
Disaster, adversity, pain, difficulty, and problems give us a fantastic opportunity for improvement!
Thousands of years after members of the human race have been suffering in the lake of fire, if they were offered to believe on TLJC [The Lord Jesus Christ] and trust in Him as their Lord and Savior, I believe they would still reject Him.
The more some people suffer, the more bitter and arrogant and hateful and resentful and they become. Satan and the fallen angels still rebel against God even after they were given a second trial
When Satan is put in prison for a thousand years, the first thing he does when he gets out is start a human revolt against God.
The sin nature gets more and more corrupt as it gets older, Eph 4:22, and all of those in the lake of fire have their old sin nature.
Rev 9:4 And they were told or commanded that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
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.”
The demon army can’t destroy vegetation. They are not permitted to kill their targets, torture only. Ac 12:23
While demons can perform extra-natural and super-natural acts in the environment of planet earth, they cannot control anything in planet apart from divine permission.
1Jo 4:4 “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”
Those who have the seal of God became saved after the Rapture, during this Tribulation period - only a certain group of believers have the seal of God.
The ones that are sealed are not called believers but “those believers who are bond-servants of God,” Rev 7:1-4.
bond-servants = doulos = those believers who are slaves or servants to God, who carry out the will and purpose of God.
The target is believers and unbelievers in the cosmic system, but there is no permission to attack believers.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord abstain from wickedness.”
Since these individuals have said “no” to the divine plan and therefore “yes” to the satanic plan, they are now turned over to Satan.
torture = 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.
The wages of serving Satan is torture and misery from his own hand.
Before TLJC comes back in the Second Coming (Second Advent), Satan turns on his own kingdom. Satan will terminate his own rulership by his own decisions.
