Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon (satan) was wroth (angry) with the woman (Church), and went to make WAR with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ".
OK....Can you see that satan is not very happy....with the people that keep God's Commandments ?
And, WAR...can take on various methods of action.....such as slander (baring false witness against), calling the church as 'cult', when God clearly says that these people are obeying Him, regarding HIS commandments ?
And, what about this 'testimony of Jesus Christ thing ?
What's that ?
Well, as always, the Bible ALWAYS interprets itself, so to the Bible, we can find the answer.
In Revelation 19:10 we find the answer.....
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Now, do you suppose that a Prophet, might have the, 'Spirit of Prophecy' ?
(Yes or No ?}
So, looking again at Revelation 12:17 above....we find that satan is attacking the church whose people are keeping all the commandments of God, and have access to a Prophetic messenger ?
Why do you think satan wants to attack this church, so much ?
Is it because the Lord Jesus Christ has revealed satan's strategies that will be used in the last days of this earth's history ?
The time, in which you and I are living in right now !
REMEMBER NOW......'satan, which deceives the whole world', (Revelation 12:9).
Does he really want people to understand how he plans to deceive them ?
(Yes or No ?)
Remember also, how satan managed to deceive the religious leaders of Israel, into putting Jesus Christ, to be killed, upon the cross !
The SDA church has a book which is called the, "Great Contoversy Between Christ and Satan"......in which God details HOW satan plans to deceive most of the Christian world, which the Bible says, WILL HAPPEN !
SATAN DOES NOT....WANT YOU TO READ THAT BOOK !!!!!
I have it on my website, for anyone to read.
If you listen to those who will try to discourage you from reading the book....SATAN WILL HAVE won another round, yet again.
People have absolutely no idea how often satan wins.....
(1.) Adam & Eve....
(2.) Noah's flood, where God was able to save only 8 people out of the millions of people that lived back then !
(3.) How many times did Israel go into Captivity, because satan deceived them into disobeying God....Babylon.....Assyria... Rome.....
(4.) Satan deceived the religious leaders, into putting The God they were suppose to be worshipping, on a Cruel Cross !
And, in the Mark of the Beast scenerio....true Christians will be hunted like animals, as they were during the 1260 year reign of the Catholic church, in the dark ages.
During the Catholic churches reign of power, they killed some 100-250 million people......you don't think satan was behind all that ?!?
But, let's get back to the topic at hand......Satan wants help, in his war againt the true followers of God, which keep the commandments of God, thru the faith of Jesus Christ.
Those who endeavor to obey all the commandments of God will be opposed and derided. They can stand only in God.
In order to endure the trial before them, they must understand the will of God as revealed in His word; they can honor Him only as they have a right conception of His character, government, and purposes, and act in accordance with them.
None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict.
To every soul will come the searching test: Shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand.
Are our feet planted on the rock of God's immutable word?
Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus?
