Continuing under the Major heading:
AWARE of The GODHEAD 7.0,
which is:
The BLESSINGS
of ETERNAL SALVATION
that
THE TRIUNE GODHEAD
GIVES to GOD’S CHILDREN,
ACCORDING to
THE EVERLASTING
COVENANT of GRACE
Made by
THE ETERNAL GODHEAD;
…
We are in the Subsection regarding:
7.10 THE SPIRITUAL LIBERTY
of The SONS & DAUGHTERS
of The TRIUNE GODHEAD;
INTRODUCTION.
THE VOICE OF THE LORD.
…
SECTION I.
The IMMUNITIES and LIBERTIES
of The Eternal Covenant,
consisting in,
III. Our protection from all enemies:
2. The Unlawfully Assumed Sway of
The Powers of Darkness.
…
According to
The MESSAGE GIVEN by
THE VOICE OF THE LORD.
when He Says, that
Soon He Will flatten Satan
under you,
Romans 16.20
and
He Will Set your feet in Triumph
on the necks of your enemies.
“20 The God of Peace Will Crush Satan
under your feet shortly.”
…
Some read this by way of “a wish” or “a prayer”,
like, “may The God of Peace Crush”, etc.;
such as in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac,
and Ethiopic versions, and the Alexandrian copy;
but others as our English Bibles
read this By Way of a Promise,
and as Expressive of the Apostle’s Faith
and Hope in this Matter;
“20 The God of Peace Will Crush Satan
under your feet shortly.”
…
And The Apostle mentions this
to Encourage the members of this church
to be on their guard,
and Fortify their Understanding
of God’s Promise, here,
against these false teachers;
…
Since in a
SHORT PERIOD of TIME
they might be
Assured of Victory over Satan
and these Satan’s representatives:
as it is before suggested,
that the methods these
representatives of Satan’s used
to trick weak minds
were much like those that Satan used
when he attacked our First Parents,
so here is an
Open Display of
The Bible Teaching
to what was Said by GOD, THEN,
in the Process of Threatening to Satan,
“it”, the woman’s Offspring,
( Jesus Christ )
“Will Crush your head”,
…
“And the LORD God Said to the serpent,
Because you have done this,
you are Cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the field;
…
upon your belly Will you go,
and dust Will you eat all the days of thy life:
…
between you and the woman,
and
between your offspring and her Offspring;
It Will Bruise your head,
and you will bruise His Heel.”
…
And THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
HAS HAD it’s ACCOMPLISHMENT
in The Work of Jesus Christ.
…
Jesus Christ
Has not only
Destroyed the works of the devil,
but
Jesus Christ
Has Destroyed
the devil himself,
and
Jesus Christ
Has
Spoiled his principalities and powers,
and bruised him and them under His feet,
when
Jesus Christ
Led Captivity Captive.
…
AND THERE IS A TIME COMING
when Satan will never
be able to give them any more trouble;
…
This the Apostle might say would be
“SOON”,
since
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
was Expected to be Happening Quickly,
or “AT ANY SECOND”:
…
AND YES,
this may be applied to the case
of every Believer now,
and to be an Encouragement
for every Believer now, to be Vigilant
and On Guard against Satan,
to Resist him, Repel his temptations,
and Oppose Satan’s representatives.
…
EVERY BELIEVER in
THE BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST,
to CLEANSE THEIR SOUL
from THEIR SIN
AGAINST
an ETERNAL HOLY CREATOR GOD,
may Assure him or herself that
“We Are More than Conquerors”
over Satan
“through Him
( Jesus Christ ),
“that Has Loved us”,
…
as we see in Romans 8:36 – 39;
“As it is written,
For Your Sake
we are killed all the day long;
…
we are accounted as sheep
for the slaughter.
…
“37 No, in all these things
we Are More than Conquerors
through Him that Loved us.
…
“38 Because I am persuaded
that neither Death nor Life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come,
…
39 Nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creation,
will be able to separate us
from The Love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.”
…
And that in
A VERY SHORT PERIOD of TIME,
when Death comes,
EVERY BELIEVER in
THE BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST,
to CLEANSE THEIR SOUL
from THEIR SIN
AGAINST
an ETERNAL HOLY CREATOR GOD,
Will Enter into The Joy of Their Lord,
where They Will
FOREVER
Be Out of the reach of Satan,
and unmolested by him.
…
“The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you. Amen.”
to Enable you to Live by The Truth;
…
“The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you…”
to Mark and Avoid the authors of sects,
and causes of divisions, and offenses;
…
“The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you…”
to Oppose error and Defend Truth;
…
“The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you…”
to Keep from falling,
to Stand Against every assault of Satan,
and to Bear Up Under
every temptation of his;
…
“The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you…”
to get the Victory over Satan,
as GOD Preserves His Children
to The ETERNALLY DOMINANT
SAFE-KEEPING
and
GLORY of JESUS CHRIST
THE LORD.
…
Do not let your hearts be troubled,
though you wrestle
with principalities and powers,
and
the rulers of the darkness of this world:
shown in Ephesians 6.12;
…
Because:
“Stronger is He
( JESUS CHRIST )
that is in you,
than he
( the devil )
that is in the world:
1 John 4.4″
…
Satan may bruise your heel,
but you Will Crush his head.
Genesis 3.15.
…
Behold your Redeemer,
Leading Captivity Captive,
Spoiling principalities and powers,
and Triumphing Over them Openly
in His Cross,
in Colossians 2:12b-15;
“you Are Risen with Him
through The Faith of
The Operation of God,
Who Has Raised Him
( JESUS CHRIST )
from the Dead.
…
“13 And you,
being dead in your sins
and
the uncircumcision of your flesh,
Has He
( THE ETERNAL TRIUNE GODHEAD )
Made Alive Together with Him,
( JESUS CHRIST )
Having Forgiven you all trespasses,
…
“14 Blotting Out
the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us,
which was contrary to us,
and
Took it Out of the way,
Nailing it to His
( JESUS CHRIST’S )
Cross;
…
“15 And Having Spoiled
principalities and powers,
He
( JESUS CHRIST )
Made a Display of them Openly,
Triumphing over them in it.”
…
See how Satan falls
like lightning from Heaven;
in Luke 10.18;
“18 And He
( JESUS CHRIST )
Said to them, I
( JESUS CHRIST )
Beheld Satan
as lightning fall from Heaven.”
…
And The Samson
( JESUS CHRIST )
of your Salvation
Bears Away the gates of hell,
posts and all, upon His Shoulders
( JESUS CHRIST’S )
and Sets them Up
as Trophies of His
( JESUS CHRIST’S )
ETERNAL VICTORY !
…
See how He
( JESUS CHRIST )
Pulls Out the throat of the lion,
and
Lifts Up the heart of the traitor
upon the top of His Spear,
and Washes His Hands
and Dyes His Robes
in The Blood of your enemies !,
in Isaiah 63:1-3,
which Speaks of:
The Day of
The Messiah’s Vengeance;
…
“1 Who is This
that Comes from Edom,
with Dyed Garments from Bozrah?
…
This That is Glorious in His Apparel,
Traveling in
The Greatness of His Strength?
…
I Who Speak in Righteousness,
Mighty to Save.
…
“2Why Are You Red in Your Apparel
and Your Garments
like him who treadeth in the wine press ?
…
“3
I
( THE LORD JESUS CHRIST )
Have Trodden The Winepress
( of The Cross )
Alone,
and of the peoples
there was none with Me;
…
because
I Will Tread them in My Anger,
and Trample them in My Fury;
and their blood Will Be
Sprinkled on My Garments,
and I Will Stain All My Raiment.
…
“4 Because
The Day of Vengeance
is in My Heart,
and
The Year of My Redeemed
is Come.”
