The Cosmic War - The Angelic Rebellion of Satan & God's Solution.

There is an invisible war behind the world we see. Long before Adam was formed in the dust of the earth, and Eve reached out and ate the "forbidden fruit" - Sin, rebellion and full-blown war broke out in heaven. God is Solving a Cosmic Problem with an Earth-bound Solution - Humans! Jesus Christ - King of Kings and Lord of Lords is calling His bride to rise up in His authority and learn how to effectively defeat the devil on earth with strategies and directives received directly from Him – Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

The Cosmic War!

God is Solving a Cosmic Problem with an Earthbound Solution - Humans!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“God created human beings in his image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea, the flying creatures of the sky, and over every animal that crawls on the land,” (Gen.1:27-28).

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

There was something lurking in God’s creation He wanted subdued and ruled over and it wasn’t fish, birds or animals.

It was the Angelic Rebellion of Satan.

Humans have been sold a lie.

A lie so huge, diabolical, effective and thorough – it’s stolen the identity and purpose of generations of God’s saints.

Not only the saints of the Most High God have been rendered impotent by this lie – but the world too believes the same lie, in a different context.

The lie manifests in Christianity through a limited gospel theology that teaches the goal of Christianity is to accept Jesus, try to live a good life, save as many people as you can, die and go to heaven. The end.

The lie manifesting in secular humanism is – humans evolved from apes.

There is no divine design. No purpose, no ultimate goal. Life is short so get all you can while you can.

This belief system is contributing to an ever-increasing number of suicides because when you take God out of the human equation there is no hope, no help, no solution.

Therefore – what’s the use of living?

Good question.

Secular humanism is also the bedrock belief system contributing to the ‘scientific’ crowd’s transhumanistic endeavors to transfer human essence into digital uploads through biogenetics and nanotechnology that will transform humans into cyborgs. Human 2.0 to be precise.

The Truth is – Humans are designed by God to become the most dangerous, powerful – devil conquering force on earth.

When humans understand and are activated into the truth and understanding that we are to function as guardians, ambassadors, power brokers of the treasures of heaven – demonic structures prohibiting the move of God in the second heavens are destroyed and the kingdom of darkness loses its grasp on world systems, networks and power structures.

Heaven is advancing and preparing to conquer the earth – but this will only be accomplished when God’s human counterpart learns to function in the Spirit as His elite fighting force on earth fighting from their place of authority in Christ from the heavenly places.

Why did Jesus teach us to pray – “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven?”

Because the will of God is not being done on the earth!

The will of God – on the earth – is accomplished through God working in and through humans.

The will of the kingdom of darkness – on the earth – is accomplished through Satan and his minions working through humans.

Nothing Spiritual Happens on the Earth Outside the Cooperative Actions of Human Beings Working with Spirit Beings / Both Good and Evil.

It may be hard to understand and grasp this foundational kingdom principle – but God has chosen to limit His infinite power to work through humans.

God’s kingdom is manifested on the earth through His obedient, anointed servants. He does not work outside the human framework He has put in place. Afterall, Jesus, Himself became a human and worked within the same limitations we operate in today – ‘I only do what I see the Father doing’ – utter obedience and dependance on the Father.

God waits until the ‘fullness of time’ when His chosen servants are in position to advance His kingdom on the earth through His heavenly direction, anointing and empowerment.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Satan is limited by the judgement of God to work through humans. Even Satan and all of his dark network of principalities and powers, operating in the first and second heavens are limited to work their evil plans on the earth – through humans.

God gave dominion over the earth to Adam and Eve.

“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth,” (Gen.1:28).

The Hebrew word translated here as subdue (Strong's #3533) means; ‘to bring into bondage, make subservient, force, violate, tread down, dominate.’

The Hebrew word translated as rule (Strongs #7287a) means; ‘to rule, subjugate, to cause to dominate, to scrape out.’

Why such strong language?

Honestly – for fish? Birds? Crawling creatures?

Were these newly created animals of earth so out of control they needed to be dominated, violently tread over and scraped out?

Not likely.

Let’s remember here – God said this before Adam and Eve rebelled and He cursed creation because of their rebellious disobedience.

There was something lurking in God’s creation He wanted subdued, subjugated, dominated and scraped out – and it wasn’t fish, birds or animals.

The Lying Serpent

Satan, in the form of a lying serpent, was in the garden before the fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore, evil existed prior to the creation story recorded in Genesis.

The serpent’s lie to Eve and her acceptance and cooperation with this lie – was the cause of the fall of humankind. Satan’s corruption was the source of their corruption – and remains the corruption we fight to this day.

It took the action of two humans – who had been given the ‘deed’ to the earth by God to subdue and rule it – cooperating with the serpent’s deception – that enrolled ALL humanity into the cosmic rebellion God was seeking to rectify when He formed Adam out of the dust of the earth.

The cosmic rebellion happened in God’s glorious creation – before he formed Adam and Eve on the earth.

The Truth is – God is Solving a Cosmic Problem with an Earthbound Solution.

Humans.

Sin did not begin with Adam and Eve – sin began in the heart of God’s reigning cherub who God judged and kicked out of His holy mountain as a profane thing.

Enter – The Fallen Cherub & The Cosmic War

“Jesus said, ‘I saw Satan falling like lightening from heaven,” (Luke 10:18).

Satan was kicked out of heaven.

To the earth.

God’s creation was in perfect harmony when He laid the foundations of the earth. He describes this event to Job:

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

“Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone — while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (Job.38:4-7 ESV).

God is describing heaven’s witnesses to earth’s creation.

Sentient beings already existed in the cosmos, before Adam was formed from the dust of the earth. These beings are morning stars and sons of God singing and rejoicing together in perfect harmony.

God’s creation was a symphony of perfection until one particular morning star – broke ranks with God’s designated order. A cosmic being so glorious he was blinded by his own beauty. Pride formed in the heart of this morning star seducing and convincing him he was better than the Most High God.

Sin was Born in the Heart of a Morning Star

A morning star – existing in the cosmos of God’s heavenly hosts came to believe he was the one who shined brightest of all.

The pride of his beauty convinced him he deserved praise and worship from all of God’s heavenly hosts.

God Himself describes for us what happened all those eons ago when He judged heaven’s morning star and cast him out of heaven to the earth.

“How you have fallen from heaven, oh morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

“You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High,” (Isaiah 14:12-14 NIV).

________________________________________________________

The four “I will’s” of the corrupted morning star:

  • I will ascend to the heavens.

  • I will raise my throne above the stars of God.

  • I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly.

  • I will make myself like the Most High.

God judged this corrupt morning star and kicked him out of the highest heaven to the earth, where we find him in the form of a lying serpent in the garden of Eden successfully convincing Eve, who is already created in the image of God, she wasn’t ‘enough’ and needed to reach out and partake of the forbidden fruit to be like God.

War Broke Out in Heaven

The morning star – who became Satan – did not rebel alone. He was able to convince a third of the stars of heaven to rebel with him (Rev.12:4).

The dragon, along with rebellious stars who followed him, staged a full out war in heaven against God and His angels.

“Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him,” (Rev. 12:7-9 BSB).

Rebellious angels were kicked out of heaven along with the dragon.

The Apostle Paul describes these wicked entities quite clearly in Ephesians when he instructs the saints of God to suit up in full heavenly armor to fight them:

“Put on the full armor of God, so you are able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of wickedness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places,” (Eph.6:1-12 TOL).

Wicked sentient beings declared war against God in heaven and God’s faithful angels fought and overcame them, casting them out of the highest heaven – to the earth.

Worldly Forces & Spiritual Forces - Working Together

Let’s note here – Paul describes wicked worldly forces working with wicked spiritual forces which clearly illustrates the foundational kingdom principle I shared previously – Satan is limited to work through human agency on the earth – and he does this through wicked spiritual forces in heavenly places operating through humans on earth.

The Cosmic Rebellion - in Heaven

War Broke out in Heaven!

Cosmic Rebellion happened in the full revelation - understanding - and presence of God Most High.

Celestial beings refused God's rule and dominion - in the full light of who He is.

Perfect celestial beings became corrupted by pride and were seduced into insurrection against the Creator of the Universe.

The truth is – God had a huge problem on His hands – a Cosmic Rebellion – instigated by an army of angelic rebels who sinned.

God did not put Adam and Eve in the garden to solve a sin issue, He put them in the garden to solve a Cosmic Rebellion, Dominion, Obedience Problem.

The Cosmic War plays out on earth – through the servants of God and the servants of Satan.

Two ferocious spiritual forces locked in deadly combat – fighting for possession of the earth – and the hearts of human men and women.

Earth is ground zero.

Christians are God’s earthbound solution to the cosmic rebellion.

I began this blog post by telling you humans have been sold a lie and that lie is…

Humans have no part in the Cosmic War of end-time events.

The Truth is – Humans are the Linchpin of All End-time events – and the Catalyst for Taking down Satan and his minions – Forever.

God is not taking over the earth without humans.

Jesus works through His blood bought family on earth – His bride – fighting in full power and authority from the heavenly places – in Christ – to conquer the devil and his armies in heaven and on earth.

It's time to arise and shine and become the most glorious Saints of the Most High God the World has ever seen!

The Bride Makes Herself Ready!

“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.

"She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints. And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb. And he added, “These are the true words of God.”” (Rev. 19:7-9).

______________________

These are the true words of God.

There will be a wedding.

There will be a glorious company of people from every tribe, tongue and nation throughout all history who have chosen to love God - sight on seen. The absolute opposite of celestial rebels who defied God to His face.

A company of saints who trust God by faith, not by sight - are rising in this day!

A company of saints who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb, deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus wherever He leads.

A bride's wedding day does not sneak up on her unaware.

A bride does everything in her power to look as beautiful as possible on her wedding day. She wants to knock the socks off her bridegroom the minute He sees her in her wedding attire. She wants her groom to feel like he is the luckiest man alive because this is the day she becomes his wife.

The marriage ceremony of the Bride and the Lamb is no different.

Jesus anticipates His Wedding day with great joy. This is the joy set before Him when He went to the cross. Jesus focused on you. On me. On all will choose to love Him and put their faith in Him - on this earth - sight unseen!

The Father has a bride for His son the world has never seen, understood or even anticipated. Let me tell you - if Jesus had socks - they'd be knocked off! She's going to be the most magnificent, glorious, devil butt-kicking victorious company of people ever to emerge from the wilderness of planet earth.

Through Jesus - in His bride - the evil kingdom of dark rebellion will be overcome, judged, crushed, and expunged from God's creation.

One glorious day - evil will no longer exist.

Today, the battle is raging.

Today, the cosmic war shakes the heavens - and the earth.

Wars and rumors of wars, are happening. Nation is rising against nation. The beast and harlot are coming to fruition - along side the Bride. She will be refined as by fire - and come out - smelling like Jesus. Victorious and in love with her bridegroom.

Remember - the cross did not look like victory. No one watching Jesus die in agony thought He was winning the greatest battle ever fought in all the eons of God's creation.

But He was.

Jesus won the victory over the cosmic rebellion, sin, death and the grave.

He bought His bride with His own blood.

The gates of hell will not prevail.

We win.

Jesus deserves His glorious bride who prepares herself just for Him.

Selah!
