Percy, before Adam was created Lucifer, who God later
called Satan, was placed on the unfinished earth to put
the finishing touches to it--much like putting the finishing
touches to a piece of furniture.
A third of the angel were put under his command. But,
Satan, because of his great beauty and false pride,
rebelled. He thought that he should sit at the left hand
of God and rule the universe as a trinity.
God had placed Satan the ruler of earth, and the angels,
who later became demons, were subordinate to him.
Satan and his horde battled against the loyal angels of
God, who were led by the archangel Michael. The solar
system, and perhaps the entire universe, bear the scars
of this titanic battle.
Satan was defeated and cast back down to the earth.
However, he was still the ruler on the earth. God keeps
some reign over him, but he is still the God of this
world/age.
Adam was created to replace Satan, but he failed to
qualify for the position. Both he and Eve were deceived
by Satan, and they questioned whether God or they
themselves knew the way to true happiness.
The fall of Adam, which brought sin and death into the
world, left Satan as earth's ruler.
God foreknew that Adam would sin, and bring
death to all his offspring. The Word knew that one day
He would be born of a woman and give His life as a
ransom for us all.
Adam made the wrong choice because he did not know
way of life was best. One way exemplified by Satan is
the way of "get." God's way is the way of "give."
One way consisted of greed, competition, and get ahead
at all cost. The other is one of love, sharing, and genuine
concern for his fellow man.
God intends for all humans to experience both ways.
This is the only way that we can make an Informed
choice.
The world has suffered greatly under Satan's rule. It
gets so bad that (Matthew 24) if Christ delayed His
return that no life on earth would be left alive.
God will then show us His way of life. He will be very
patient with us. He loves us dearly, and it breaks His
heart to see what we do to ourselves, but He had to
let it run its course.
2Cor. 4:4 states that Satan is the God of this
world/present age.
Eph. 2:2 states that he is the prince of the power of
the air. He controls Hollywood; the music industry;
and, earth's rulers.
Rev. 12:9 tells us that he deceives the whole world.
Only God can prevent one from this.
Actors; musicians; world rulers; high men of industry
have all sold their soul (present life) to Satan and his
cause in order to achieve fame, power, and wealth.
Satan uses these people to influence and polute the
minds of others, especially the young.
I have seen hundreds of stars, etc..., admit to having
sold their souls to Satan in order to get what their
hearts most desired.
He also controls our institutions of learning. Our
schools and universities forbid the teaching of
God and His laws. They do not allow one to teach
that we were created in His image.
They teach, without any evidence whatsoever, that
we are creatures of chance; that we are nothing more
than animals.
There is no wonder that we kill each other so easily.
Babies, who are in their mother's womb, are ripped
apart by doctors without an ounce of remorse.
In California (bill 2223) says that if a baby dies
within thirty days after being born that the mother
Will not be charged. They deny this, but read the
bill. In several states it is permissible to kill a
human baby as it is being born.
Only God can provide absolute proof that He is our
Creator. He can convince an individual beyond a
shadow of a doubt that He exists.
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me,
when you search for me with all your heart.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible
to please Him: forhe that cometh to God must
believe that He is, and that He is a rewarded of
them that diligently seek Him.
God has precestinated some. However, He will
never turn away those who desperately want and
look for Him.
