It's happening in Brazil as well. I used to think it was Christians overreacting. But maybe there is something to it.

And look at the crowd that has come out to see this as entertainment, but only are they blind fools. Very blasphemous.
 
I will post what I find of this convention here.

In the meantime, a snippet from my childhood...

What I get out of this video is how Satan can entice us into something that looks fascinating and entertaining us with the lust of the flesh and those blind fools that follow after him like those crowds at that festival will be smashed in the end being cast into the lake of fire.


2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Yes, and he can wear many faces. He was once an angel, so he has divine power. It is my belief that Satan rarely ever manifests in this world. Instead, he merely observes. As he says in this video, he finds humanity both fascinating and utterly worthless.

I have been trying to understand his nature more since last October. It is my belief that Satan does not physically manifest in this world very often. His divine nature, it's origin, is God. Therefore, it stands to reason that any physical manifestation would result in a human, or rather, his or her spirit, to "awaken" and seek the divine source. Which would be God Himself.

In other words, by physically manifesting and making his true nature known, he would actually be turning people towards God, not the other way around. So he remains hidden unless he feels it absolutely necessary to make his presence known for whatever reason.

I think this will help you understand who and what Satan is all about.


Satan has his own trinity—the devil, the beast, and the false prophet (Revelation 16:13). He has his own church, “a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9). He has his own ministers, “ministers of Satan” (2 Corinthians 11:4-5). He has formulated his own system of theology “doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). He has established his own sacrificial system; “The Gentiles...sacrifice to demons” (1 Corinthians 10:20). He has his own communion service, “the cup of demons...and the table of demons” (1 Corinthians 10:21). His ministers proclaim his own gospel, “a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you” (Galatians 1:7-8). He has his own throne (Revelation 13:2) and his own worshipers (Revelation 13:4). So he has developed a thorough imitation of Christianity, viewed as a system of religion. In his role as the imitator of God, he inspires false christs, self-constituted messiahs (Matthew 24:4-5).

He employs false teachers who are specialists in his “theology,” to bring in “destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them” (2 Peter 2:1). They are adept at mixing truth and error in such proportions as to make error palatable. They carry on their teaching surreptitiously and often anonymously. He sends out false prophets. “And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many” (Matthew 24:11). He introduces false brethren into the church, who “had sneaked in to spy out our liberty...in order to bring us into bondage” (Galatians 2:4). He sponsors false apostles who imitate the true (2 Corinthians 11:13).

Are Satan and his minions at work in this world , yes . Don't you think Satan could manifest without making his true nature known ? At least at the start he could claim to be your friend and helper .

Perhaps. My theory is based on anecdotal evidence of a personal encounter I had some months back.

You are working on a long list of who Satan is and what he can do. Doing a good job too.

Luke 22:3 may help us see some more scattered aspects of Satan.

3. Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.

With this concept the king of Tyre scripture makes sense. It is about the physical kingb but it is about the spirit controlling the king.

Ezekiel 38:1-4 seems about Gog till you think about the controlling influence of Satan using kings of nations.

I Corinthians 12 speaks of the leading of gentiles in idol worship.
1 Corinthians 12:2 kjv
2. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

Led from inside.

God works in us to will and do of his good pleasure

Satan can work in others to seek evil to be manifested.

There is one thing that we can not do on our own and that is fight against Satan unless we have the full armor of God on, Ephesians 6:10-20. A friend of mine tried to battle Satan on his own and literally landed in the hospital for a week as sickness came upon him.

When we are weak Satan is strong, but, when we are weak, God is stronger.

Yep unfortunately its easier to side with Satan in this world than it is to side with Jesus and God.
This may help some to understand.

Psalms 73:3 kjv
3. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

Another translation may help some understand ( the ungodly are sleek and fat and have no problems).

The Christian has to confess sins and deal with inner turmoil. The ungodly do not worry about eternity and sin. In the end of life suddenly there is no hope of redemption in their death (they are gone).
Psalms 73:17 kjv
17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; thenunderstood I their end.
18. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

Greetings, all.

Noticed this in viewing a video in another thread on current news. Satanism is being increasingly being flaunted in our faces now, and I'm not posting this as an alarmist (since the following does not surprise or "shock" me in the least) but as a teacher. It's been prophesied in modern visions and in scripture as well, which I can get to in a moment, but we shouldn't be surprised that this is what society will slowly now become.

Anyway, the following is what caught my attention. Sam Smith's recent "performance" at the Grammies this year:

The word 'Satan' in the Old Testament is defined as 'adversary.' Also, in the Greek in the New Testament.
Man is 'Satan' [adversary] of God, even believers who are born again but are led by the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Ga 5:17.

Sometimes the word is noun, pronoun, and adjective. It is even a personification and characteristic of Lucifer whom we have been indoctrinated into calling Lucifer 'Satan' [adversary] but that is not one of his pronoun names but a characteristic.

The Father is set against the world:
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 Jn 2:15.

The Spirit is set against the flesh:
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Ga 5:17.

The Son [Word of Truth] is set against the devil [lies, liar, false accuser]:
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 Jn 3:8.

The word 'devil' here is adjective, not a person.
 
Let it be known, this thread was not created to become a silly, faithless and ignorant debate about the reality of Satan or not, and any attempt to derail it in that direction will be met with requests to have those threads deleted, and/or stern rebukes to the "faith" of the poster if absolutely necessary.

Those belonging to Christ who should make the mistake of responding to such posts in ignorance, please request on that your posts be removed.

Thanks, and God bless,
Hidden In Him
 
The growing transition of nations, including America, to communism is the last step in the world preparing for Satan's manifestation on earth.
His appearance will be within the realm of politics. his intent to be ruler on earth .
It is no coincidence that communism is based in Satanism .
As the deepley religious satanic founder and author of communism has stated.
Most people have been deceived into believing that communism is an atheist theology .
Nothing could be further from the truth.

‘‘Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it well. My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.’’
( Karl Marx )
 
One doesn't need to know eschatology to be able to feel the change in the air. How can one not? It is like the entire world is enveloped in electricity in the air itself. The closest I can compare it to is the feeling one gets in a crowd of people moments before a riot breaks out and you are caught in the rush. You can feel the electricity on your skin.

All of politics is of Satan because politics deals with the crossroads of influence and wealth. Communism is simply the crystalization of this. It is the epitome of coveting your neighbor's property. Hate the man who has more than you. The root of the issue has been the eroding of the educational system under increasingly radical pedagogues who separated the schools from God, and now seek to separate the children from their parents. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps Aldous Huxley might have been engaging unwittingly in a little prophecy with his A Brave New World, which they no longer require as reading in school. Thus, they have grown up ignorant of the harsher realities of the world, and the potential for evil in the heart of mankind. Without moral underpinnings, there is no wisdom. Without wisdom, education matters nought because anyone can be trained to do anything without knowing the how or why that would be necessary when the task at hand goes sideways.

We are headed for tribalism again, and that's not a good thing. Community is important, but more important is Galatians 6:1-6 in which we are supposed to be caretaking each other, especially the weaker members of the church. I mean, what did people think Christ meant by tending the flock? Just letting them wander off? Or are you going to snatch them up, jam the medicine down their throat, and keep them from dying of parvo out in the wilderness?
Why? Because we are told to forgive each other seventy times--basically, be willing to forgive someone repeatedly--not for our benefit, but theirs. That is why we are commanded to confess sins to one another. It has a dual purpose: one, it keeps us humble and honest with each other. Hard to lie to someone who knows your deepest hurts. Two, it promotes the idea of forgiveness and repentance unto salvation.

That becomes ever more important as each seal is broken on the final judgement. Ah, eschatology. I really have not missed it because it drove me as batty as a bell-tower. Discernment will become ever stronger, however, whether we want it to or not--God is going to ensure that no one has an excuse. Acts 2:17 warns us that He will pour out His Spirit so strongly that even the weakest among us will be given dreams and visions. This is a prophecy of discernment in which there will be nowhere to hide because everything will become as plain as day as the days pass and we get closer to the final moment.

The Globalists know the future to a certain extent because they are specifically engineering it to go in directions they want it to. And the reason they wouldn't want Brave New World taught now is because the times are growing closer, and too much of the plan is now already being implemented.
Without moral underpinnings, there is no wisdom.

And that's a big part of the plan.
Acts 2:17 warns us that He will pour out His Spirit so strongly that even the weakest among us will be given dreams and visions. This is a prophecy of discernment in which there will be nowhere to hide because everything will become as plain as day as the days pass and we get closer to the final moment.

Apropos to the discussion, IMO, because that's really the only thing that can drive back the darkness at this point. Governments won't do it, especially if they are already in the pocket, and darkness succeeds by the power of deception. So the Spirit of God has now become man's only real protection left. The Lord Himself, through manifestations of the Spirit, will expose and reveal to the world the hidden works of darkness to keep it at bay, at least long enough for the end-time harvest to play out in full.
 
It's amazing how some of these prophecies seem like they would indicate the supernatural, and yet play out in the mundane. I think we have a bias towards wanting to ascribe everything to the supernatural in Revelations, but forget that a lot of prophecy is filled by the mundane minutiae of life itself. Yes, God may pour out His Holy Spirit, but that awakening involves just being more aware. That heightened awareness, while entirely a natural process, is nonetheless triggered by something. We see all the various things going on, and yet, we all feel that there's more going on than meets the eye.

MK Ultra programming is failing as more people wake up. So the babbling of the subliminal messages being broadcast on every single medium by the Luciferians becomes shrill and even more annoying, so you get what we had with Budweiser, where a large portion of the population suddenly turns on a dime like a school of fish at some unspoken, unseen signal and bam. Anheiser-Busch is going down in flames.

That collective intelligence humans seems to share is what gives us a collective perception whereby we sense the deeper currents despite the surface being relatively placid. Or perhaps, we are intrinsically tied to God in such a way that we cannot help but experience that greater awakening as His Spirit presses more forcefully into the physical world in a way that we haven't seen in 2,000 years.

Proverbs 1:20 kjv
20. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21. She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Discerning spirits. I guess that fits here

Mob violence turns some people just like a school of fish you mentioned.

The signs are there, but it is a spiritual gift to see them.

I have often wondered about such "gifts" because sometimes, Lord, they're so heavy.

I am reminded of a saying that Lan Man'dragoran of the Wheel of Time series once said. "Duty is as light as a feather, and as heavy as a mountain." The gifts of God are much the same. Beautiful, precious beyond price, but they come with some heavy responsibilities.

"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." --Bruce Lee

Paul said much the same thing in his missives to the early churches.

Things are moving faster, now. I think there's more at play than just mob violence, but the electricity preceeding such actions is there, and so we see more and more people turning on that dime, as it were. The school is getting larger, so it's movements become much more apparent.
