There are many stories written about someone who is a black sheep in the family. Someone who turns to the dark side because they could not control their mind, will, or emotions. Anakin Skywalker messed up the entire universe over a girl, Queen Amidala. Isildur kept the ring which caused chaos throughout all of middle earth. Edmund Pevensie turned over all his siblings for sweeties. The real story, our story, isn’t far from that line of thinking. If humanity ever comes to realize that the black sheep of the family are hunting us like prey, we would make sense of so many childish questions. We are the prey and not the predator. If we learn our story, we will be on our way to engaging in spiritual warfare, making ourselves overcomers in the process. We don’t imagine ourselves as prey, we imagine ourselves as a race that evolved into humans who live for eighty years, and regardless of the way we live, we die. We do not consider after life on earth. We also do not consider that the strife and contention between human races is really not the center focus of our world. We are not the center focus of the universe either. We are the victims of an evil conglomerate of black sheep that have gone wild because they know there is no way out for themselves. Their choices are bringing them into death and destruction for all eternity.
We are a small part of the story. We happen to be the race that they wish to extinguish because of their hatred for their Creator, the Creator who gave them a choice as to how to live their lives. Their Creator is our Creator. And we are created for a specific purpose, to openly show His manifold wisdom. He gave us his own mighty power and absolute strength so that we can stand in the evil day. We are prey who have been tricked into believing that we have no spiritual life, or spiritual enemies, and that we simply exist in an non-spiritual world. Jesus made us victors and overcomers, and we do not need to be brought low by the black sheep. We can stand.
Something we want to understand is that there is an inherent safety built into the word of the Elohim by scattering the information on each subject throughout the entire Bible. The Holy Spirit did a masterful job of preserving information by dispersing it all over several books. What I mean is, if someone threw out one book there would still be information in another. There isn’t one book dedicated to salvation. There isn’t one book dedicated to explaining the Holy Spirit. There isn’t one book solely written on Satanas. The information is distributed into many books. This means we should be knowledgable of the whole Bible in order to understand each subject. It is built-in protection. We might want to throw out the book of Enoch, or 2 Ezra, or the Wisdom of Solomon, but we can find the same information in other books which shows a corroboration in the moving of the Holy Spirit inspiring men to record information for us. The subject of spiritual warfare is a great subject peppered throughout scripture. We will start with Ephesians.
Ephesians 6:10 G3588 For the G3062 rest, G80 my brethren, G1473 G1743 be empowered G1722 in G2962 the Lord, G2532 and G1722 in G3588 the G2904 might G3588 G2479 of his strength! G1473
“The remainder my brothers fill with power in Yahweh and in the mighty power the absolute strength.”
The word endunamoō is a compound word meaning “in”, en, and “enable”, dunamoō, (which comes from the noun dunamis). What is in-enable? It is power inside, we are to be inside enabled. This tells us that we have to first understand the free gifts of the spirit to have the enablement, the power, that we can act upon. It is within. We are to be inside enabled in Yahweh. We are inside enabled with His kratos, “mighty power” and His ischus, “absolute strength”. This is us. We are not weak or frail. We are fully enabled.
One of the benefits of being one of the redeemed is that we have the power and strength of Jesus Messiah inside of us. It is Christ, the Messiah, in us, the hope of glory. This is for his people and his people only. It is not for anyone outside the Body of Christ. So then if we are in the Body of Christ we will have inside enablement, Jesus’ own power and strength. Who would want to hide this information from us? Who would want us to believe we are lower than worms in this cosmos. We have to go back to review our position to understand this.
The adam, is the first man, manfaced. The word anthrōpos means “manfaced”, which tells us our distinction from other sons of the Elohim is a face like a man. Manfaced was created in the image of the Elohim, Genesis 1:27. Were other sons of the Elohim made in the image of the Elohim? We don’t know, but as far as we do know, none have been mentioned to be made in the image of the Elohim. This tells us that we are unique. We are different. We are special. There may be some jealousy because we are made in the image of the Elohim and others are not. We have an image of the Elohim with a face distinct to anthrōpos, manfaced. When other sons of the Elohim look at us they see an image of the Elohim. We do not understand this because we have lived this way since the adam. But if we notice other spiritual beings, they look different. Cherubim, Seraphim, Ophanim, Incorporeals, Angels, Beasts, Spirits, Rainbows, Thunders, etc., all have different forms. Angels come close to humans but are still different. We know that manfaced was created as a three part being, spirit, soul, and body. Others may not have been created with spirit. The adam lost his spiritual connection to the Elohim in the garden. Jesus was able to give that back to humans, without the requirement of legislative holiness, meaning we do not need to fulfill the law to become holy as Paul tells us repeatedly.
There is a mirror of this idea when we look at the temple. David wanted a temple to worship the Elohim, but David was a man of blood, a giant slayer, he could not build it. Solomon built the temple and a palace. When the kingdom split, defilement entered in. From that point in time, to the time that Ezekiel saw the Spirit of the Elohim taken up with the Cherubim and Ophanim and the temple destroyed, was just over 400 years. Over these years some kings were better than others and they attempted to serve Yahweh and clean up the temple, but the holiness in the temple did not last. There, alongside the Spirit of the Elohim, people worshipped idols, stars, constellations, fornicated in booths with male and female prostitutes, sacrificed children to strange gods, and passed children through the fire. The Holy spirit lived among all of this and it is a parallel to the Holy Spirit living among men in that age and in our age. Men in the previous ages had to be holy and participate in the cleansing rituals, fulfilling the laws to have the Holy Spirit in them. We see that the Holy Spirit resided with the prophets and the Zadok priests. In our age there is no temple, there is no prescribed ceremonial way to get clean, therefore everyone will die in their sins unless they accept Jesus as Messiah and believe that he rose up on the third day. The Holy Spirit dwells among men and in those who are the temple of the Elohim. Even though men are not holy, those who choose to be the temple of the Elohim are more holy than those who reject Jesus as Messiah. The Holy Spirit dwells in those temples. It is by human choice to receive Jesus as Messiah. The spirit of man is not inert it, is unholy until the Holy Spirit comes in to dwell and makes it holy. We will put on incorruption and immortality when Jesus calls from the clouds, and our bodies will be made whole.
Genesis 3:15 tells us that there is hatred between the serpent and the woman and between their seeds, sperma, “offspring”. We should not be surprised that there is hatred on the earth, we were told right from the beginning. While Jesus comes from the woman’s seed and there is hatred between the Messiah and the serpent, we are also from the woman’s seed, putting us into a battle with the ancient serpent’s seed from our birth. Hatred rages. Technically the woman’s seed are by birth, and the serpents seed are by adoption, but there is a further technicality here as well regarding the serpents seed. Women are life givers. We do not see any other sons of the Elohim birthing life. There are no offspring of the Cherubim, the Seraphim, or the Ophanim. There are no baby angels, and teenager angels, and geriatric angels. Our race was created with procreative abilities that other sons of the Elohim do not have. We are life giving, the serpents offspring are life destroying.
The reason we need Yahweh Jesus Messiah’s mighty power and absolute strength inside us is due to the hatred from the offspring of the serpent’s seed coming against us. Usurping the adam was what gave Satanas the authority to become the god of this world. Now we are living in a hostile world, as life givers with evil beings attempting to destroy manfaced.
Ephesians 6:11 G1746 Put on G3588 the G3833 full armor G3588 G2316 of God! G4314 for G3588 G1410 you to be able G1473 G2476 to stand G4314 against G3588 the G3180 craft G3588 of the G1228 devil.
“Clothe the complete armor the Elohim towards the capable you stand towards the cunning arts the diabolos”.
The word methodeia, is a compound word meaning “with travel” or “travel with”. It is the idea of travestying, something that is perverting, distorting, or misrepresenting. Diabolos is another compound word meaning “through throw”, or “throw through”, traduce or throw out lies. The word diabolos is used for Dracōn, the ancient serpent. Who was the ancient serpent of Genesis 3:15? We clearly see that the dragon, Dracōn, the ancient serpent, is called “diabolos”, in Revelation 12 and 20. There is a clear distinction between Dracōn and Satanas who is the one misleading the entire cosmos. Satanas is the god of this world, but Dracōn is the father of Satanas. Dracōn was created to sport with the angels, to prick and goad them. Job is told how to subdue his attacks. Once some of the sons of the Elohim rebelled and aligned with Dracōn, Dracōn had offspring. Then he acquired more offspring, the spirits of the children of the fallen angels.
It is important to realize that the Elohim did not create demons. The Elohim created Dracōn and created other sons. Dracōn is a “one of a kind” being. There are no other dragons in his class, he is the only one. The other sons all have many others in their class. The idea of giving sons the freedom to choose who to follow is something a loving Father does. None of us are forced to love and serve the Elohim. We choose what we want to do. As for demons, they are the byproduct, or altered offspring, of fallen sons who choose to be led by Dracōn instead of the Elohim. They are not created beings, but perverted beings, from the originally created manfaced. Also it is clear in Job, in the Septuagint, that Dracōn was not created as “evil” but as a being who would entice or play with angels. His distortion came much like Satanas’, in pride and arrogance.
Paul is speaking to the Body of Christ, those who believe Jesus is Yahweh and Messiah and that he rose up on the third day. He says we have complete armor and to put it on, then we can stand against the travestying, the perverting, cunning arts, against us.
Ephesians 6:12 G3754 For G3756 [3is not G1510.2.3 G1473 4to us G3588 1the G3823 2wrestling] G4314 against G129 blood G2532 and G4561 flesh, G235 but G4314 against G3588 the G746 sovereignties, G4314 against G3588 the G1849 authorities, G4314 against G3588 the G2888 world rulers G3588 of the G4655 darkness G3588 G165 of this eon, G3778 G4314 against G3588 the G4152 spirituals G3588 of the G4189 wickedness G1722 in G3588 the G2032 heavenlies.
“That not is we the wrestling towards blood and flesh however towards the origin rulers (archē) towards authorities (exousia) toward the world ruler (kosmokratōr) the shadiness (skotos) the age this one towards the spirituals (pneumatikos) the depravity (ponēria) in the heavenlies (epouranios).”
The first simple observation is where did these non-flesh original rulers, authorities, the shady world ruler of the age, and the spiritual depravity in the lower heavens, come from? If they are not flesh why are they entering into the fleshy realm to cause us to fight amongst one another? What are these beings? These are the ancient serpents seed, by adoption. They are the rebellious ones who renounced their own citizenship under the Kingdom of Heaven to become citizens of Dracōn’s realm in the lower heavens. Dracōn has a son who is the kosmokratōr skotos, the world ruler of darkness or shady world ruler, also known as the prince of this world. The problem is Dracōn and Satanas are an incomplete unholy rulership. There is not one unholy spirit. There are many unholy spirits. Since Dracōn and Satanas have no ability to create, or procreate among themselves, all they can do is subvert what has been created.
In Genesis 6 we find out that some of the sons of the Elohim procreated with earth women and caused a race of hybrids. The spirits of these hybrids are unclean, unholy, and demonic spirits. The hybrids DNA infiltrated humanity. David calls them the allos genos, or the old earth born. These mutants were very tall, some had long necks, some had 24 digits, some had one eye, also characterized by anger, hatred, tyranny, injustice, and immorality. The adam was created spirit, soul, and body, and these fallen angels distorted the genos of the adam, adding an unholy spirit and distorted body, but also a damaged mind. The allos genos, “another different genos” tells us that they are part human but not all human. Instead of all cat eye marbles some are speckled marbles. They are all somewhat human but different from the original adam. There was no place for the spirits of these beings who had altered human bodies and corrupted souls to go upon physical death. The spirit of men go to hades or paradise, depending on the individuals choices. This is why Jesus tells us that when a demon is cast out of a person the demon wanders dry places. These spirits want a home. They are willing to make a home in any host they can.
We have thought of the spirit of man as simply inert or inactive but since the fall of the adam, in our six thousand year linage, man’s spirit is not inert it is unholy. This is why we need to believe on Jesus Messiah and receive the Holy Spirit, in order to join to our spirit making us holy. Our hope is not to die with an unholy spirit but to have the Spirit of the Elohim in us. We have a remedy for the evil that was done to humanity.
Two things to note here, the human body has altered DNA, and the human spirit is also unholy due to residing demons. As a believer in Jesus our spirit takes authority over our soul and body, meaning we train ourselves to think correctly and to love others, as well as discipline our body not to over indulge and to be physically strong. In an unsaved person there is no Holy Spirit so the spirit of man is subject to the unholy spirits dwelling within that body. This is why there is no mental or emotional discipline or physical discipline. An unsaved person who calls out to Jesus has the choice to receive Him as Lord, and that choice comes with the benefit of a renewed spirit. Now that nearly six thousand years of mixing races have taken place we all have some genetic alterations, but we do not have to have an unholy spirit of man, we can have the Holy Spirit dwelling within. Therefore there is no limitation to who can get saved because it is not a physical salvation but a spiritual one. Although we have polluted DNA we can have the Spirit of the Living God living in us.
Oddly, demons do not like their hosts. They torment their hosts, and attempt to cause bloodshed among humanity. It is the opposite of life, life giving, and love. The hatred between all women and these fallen spiritual beings and their demon sons is evident in the sacrificing of the unborn. Tricking us with words like “reproductive rights” does not make it acceptable to the Creator. This is not about reproducing, it is about not reproducing. Everyone has the right to not reproduce, to which there is vasectomy, or tubal ligation, but not the right to murder. The laziness over the use of birth control does not absolve the baby of its rights. We think of this as a voting issue, it is a spiritual issue. The hatred between the woman and the ancient serpent, and the woman’s seed and the ancient serpent’s seed, was foretold in Genesis 3.
Peter tells us that there is a special compartment of hell for the angels who sinned. Dracōn has more than just the angelic class as sons. Dracōn is a Dragon, best described in Job in the Septuagint. Satanas is an Incorporeal, air aether, fire or light. Are there fallen Cherubim? Or fallen Seraphim? We don’t know, possibly. We do know that there are fallen Ophanim, as we see their effect on the earth. Are there fallen Phenixes or Chalkydri? We know that Dracōn was to spar, prick, and goad the angels, so other than Satanas who was not a cherub or an angel, we simply do not know.

The church is part of the hidden mystery. No one else knew about it.
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
The kaleidoscope wisdom (manifold wisdom) of the Elohim is seen by our enemies through us, our existence, our strength in Him, our ability to stand against them, and our destiny to return with Jesus on the Day of the Lord. We will spend the seven years (when there is tribulation on earth) in the heavens praying, interceding, and preparing for the Day of the Lord.
The unholy trinity will appear during the last seven years before Jesus returns on the Day of the Lord. What precedes this is the saints who are redeemed being seized, caught up, into the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. We know that the redeemed watch the seals being opened as chaos is being unleashed on the earth. As the first seven seals are being opened men will fight against men, reducing the population. As an estimate of 8 billion people minus 2.5 billion Christians leaves 5.5 billion people. At the fourth seal 1.375 people will die (1/4th of the population), leaving 4.125 billion people on the earth. There are no brakes here, once the seals are opened there is no turning back the death and destruction. It will be a noticeable time of population decrease. People will not be speculating if this is the tribulation or not, it most significantly will be as 1.3 billion people die. Here is a benchmark, assuming the Christians are still on the earth, if we see 2 billion people die in a very short timeframe, then the fourth seal has been opened. Just because people die does not mean we are in the tribulation, the numbers have to be staggering. One fourth of the population has to die at about the same time.
At the 6th trumpet another 1/3 of the population will die, that is 1.375 billion people, leaving 2.75 billion people on the earth. During this time there will be a temple and the son of perdition will sit in the Holy of Holies and not die. He will come out claiming to be god. There will also be two witnesses on the earth, the two people who did not die as recorded in the Bible, Enoch and Elijah. They will be on the earth witnessing and the 144,000 virgin males from the twelve tribes will be following them as they do miracles. At the end of three and one half years they will both be killed in the Shkhem Square, it will be recorded and seen around the world. Their bodies will be left there and on the third day the entire world will see them rise up. The 2.75 billion people will be told to worship the dragon, to worship the beast, and to worship the image of the beast, and to take their mark in order to prove allegiance to buy and sell. This is the unholy trinity. The unholy trinity and the humans who follow them will rise up to kill off Babylon. At this time there will be around 900 million people left on the earth who then will try to make war against the Lamb and his armies.

As this is a quick overview we see that the spiritual power of Dracōns seed becomes stronger as there are fewer humans on the earth. During this time it is not just random humans being murdered but those who reject Dracōn, Satanas, and their demon armies. There will be a great bloodshed of martyrs, not willing to serve the beast. The amount of demons people will “house” will grow in number, as the population decreases. The more demons people have the more insane they will become, even to the end of believing that they can make war against their own Creator, Yahweh Jesus Messiah. Today when too many demons reside in people they are either put on medications or housed in psychiatric hospitals. There is a limit to how many demons the human body can handle. Although the injured world leader who Dracōn and Satanas raises up from the dead during the tribulation will be able to contain many more demons than normal. The humans living at that time will be “programmed” or mentally stripped to be able to take in more demons, like manchurian candidates. It will be easy, we see how our water, food, and air, are all chemically altered now, it will ramp up during the tribulation. Jesus knows it all.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Jesus created us all and he has had a plan, it was not just a plan to rescue humans, it was a plan to eliminate the rebellious fallen sons of the Elohim. We are the plan by which they are judged. We are the ones that will judge them and we will be judging them based on their actions. They will continue to persuade humans to follow them and attempt to bring bloodshed between us. There will be no hiding. We will judge them for altering our DNA, for the demons that plague and attack us, and for death and destruction on planet earth.
Some people believe that Christians will live through the tribulation but they will not, as several times we are told that we are spared from, saved from, and not appointed to wrath. The wrath stems from Jesus taking his hand off and allowing Dracōn to rule humans. Notice that the Holy Spirit is not on the earth at this time during the tribulation. The Holy Spirit is not dwelling on the earth or in men because the temples, the people, are risen. The only time we see the Holy Spirit on the earth during the tribulation is when the two witnesses rise up on the third day. Other than that one instance the the Holy Spirit is in the Kingdom of Heaven, not on the earth. So then is there a time when the Holy Spirit is ripped out of the Christian so that the Christian must endure the tribulation? No. This is just foolish and unlearned people promoting fear and diminishing the goodness of our Lord and Savior.
Nonetheless we are here on the earth today. Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. This tells us that until we are taken out of the way nothing can overcome us if we stand up and fight. It also tells us the son of perdition cannot come to power either, because greater are we who are in Christ, than the son of perdition who is in the world. We are inside enabled. We are to fight against this evil family of fallen beings. We are inside enabled with Jesus’ mighty power and absolute strength. No anti-Christ can overcome even one of us, let alone 2 billion of us. This inside enablement is for us now, not for when we come back with Jesus to cleanse the earth of all evil. Today we have Jesus’ mighty power and absolute strength. We usually direct our warfare against flesh because flesh houses the demonic spirits, the spirits of the children of the fallen angels, but we have to elevate our warfare to subduing the original rulers, the authorities, the shady world ruler, and the spiritual depravities, in the lower heavens.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Paul comes back to his ideas from verse ten. Paul thinks in long sentences.
Ephesians 6:13 G1223 On account of G3778 this G353 take up G3588 the G3833 full armor G3588 G2316 of God! G2443 that G1410 you should be able G436 to oppose G1722 in G3588 the G2250 [2day G3588 G4190 1wicked], G2532 and G537 all things G2716 being worked out, G2476 to stand.
“Through this pick up the complete armor the Elohim in order that strong enough withstand in the day malicious and all work fully to stand.”
We are to pick up the armor of the Elohim to be strong enough to withstand malicious days. We clothe ourselves in the armor every malicious wicked evil day. Not just once, but every day. Usually a battle lasts longer than one day, it is many days. Pick up the armor then work fully to stand or downward labor to stand. The word katergazomai means to downward labor, kata ergazomai. The idea is that the strength and power come from heaven downward to us in labor to stand while we also have the armor of the Elohim on. The inside enablement or empowerment is activated when we battle with a downward infusion of Jesus’ mighty power and absolute strength. The accuracy of the wording here is incredible. Paul was not speaking off the top of his head, he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell us that we can have a downward infusion inside enabling us to fight and stand against evil. Jesus has already done the heavy lifting.
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
They didn’t think he would get up. They thought he would stay in the grave. They wanted to abuse him for two thousand years. They were wrong. Jesus openly triumphed over them. The grave could not hold the sinless Creator. He set them up. He set up their demise. At any point in time they could have repented but they did not. They did not have to follow Dracōn and Satanas. Jesus put us, the church, on the earth, to show them His kaleidoscope wisdom. He made us in His own image. Every time they see us they see Him too. So they hate us, they despise us. They wanted to be us. Instead they chose to trick us, tell us that we are lower than dirt, evolved from worm puke. They told us that there is no Creator, no God, and no one who loves us. They caused confusion and chaos on the earth and wanted us to kill one another. The black sheep will have their time on the earth, they will have authority over all the Jesus rejecters. But in the mean time they do not have authority over us. We have the mighty power and absolute strength of Jesus Messiah inside enabled within us. We can stand.
