Sabbath 08/05/44/120
Dear Friends,
As a result of the discussions of the New Moon Sabbath of the Fifth Month, this Sabbath we will look at the Biblical position on the Doctrine of Demons in the Last Days (No. 048). We will go through what these doctrines of the last days are. These doctrines have to be stopped and corrected to save as many people as possible for the First Resurrection. This will be followed by Vegetarianism and the Bible (No. 183) and then Wine in the Bible (No. 188).
We will then go on to the Judgment of the Demons in the Second Resurrection. It is a matter of serious ignorance that the average person has no real idea of the Judgment of the Demons and the fate of the Fallen Host and what indeed God has planned for them and for all mankind. Know ye not that we shall judge demons (1Cor. 6:3, and see also Judgment of the Demons (No. 080)). Man does not have an Immortal Soul (The Soul (No. 092)), and indeed nor does any created being human or spirit have any aspect of immortality, unless it has been granted from the resurrection as detailed in the Plan of Salvation (No. 0001A) as detailed from the Scriptures http://ccg.org/bible.html, including the Koran http://ccg.org/islam/quran.html. Understanding the Bible is difficult and requires the Holy Spirit granted from Repentance and Baptism (No. 052) and the Laying on of Hands or by direction of God through the Holy Spirit as a prophet. The sequence of the Plan is detailed in the text of Introduction to the Commentary on the Bible (F000).
The Archangel Satan-el, became Satan or Iblis from the creation of Adam and Eve, and spent all his time from the Adamic Creation in 4004 BCE to deceive mankind, and to a large part, with a great deal of success. He has created false religions all over the world in order to deceive mankind and caused them to break the Laws of God (L1). This has caused them to sin and miss out on the First Resurrection at the return of Messiah. His greatest deception was to convince man of the existence of Heaven and Hell instead of the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A). This was achieved through the Gnostics developed in Africa at Alexandria for the pagans and Jews and then, after Christ, to deceive the Christians. Heaven and Hell were doctrines of the Gnostics that taught that the doctrines of the Law of God were inventions of the Evil God Jaldabaoth that sought to stop the Gnostics from ascending to Heaven via the Milky Way. As a result mankind as a rule was consigned to the Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment (143B), as were the demons also. To break free of this problem the Satanic Doctrine of the Immortal Soul was created as well as the lie that spirit cannot die. If that were true then Christ could not have died, which he did do and then God raised him from the dead (cf. Timing of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection (No. 159)).
We will spend the next few weeks looking at the false religions of the world and their false doctrines many of which were designed to deceive and prevent the salvation of many as part of the First Resurrection (No. 143A).
It is important that we are able to reach mankind and deal with them over the next few years over the Wars of the End part I: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C), Wars of the End Part II: 1260 Days of the Witnesses (No. 141D). If those who follow the false religions do not repent before the Witnesses die and Messiah comes with the Host for Armageddon and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141E) and the War Against Christ (No. 141E_2) they will not qualify for the First Resurrection and they will be consigned to the Second Resurrection. They will be purged of False Religion (Wars of the End Part IV: End of False Religion (No. 141F) that kept them from the First Resurrection. In that case they will all face the possibility of the Second Death.
It depends on us to warn them of the danger that is in front of them.
