Is the antichrist a demon and does he get his orders straight from satan? (Finis J. Dake)
Varnel Watson
David Lewayne Porter Do you think you are at a higher level now?
David Lewayne Porter
Troy Day, no, I don’t think.
I know that I am at a higher level.
Your own chart shows redeemed humanity higher than satan and his demonic cohorts. I’ll reattach it at the end.
The earth is the Lord’s the fulness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.
Satan is the prince and power of the air. He is also the god of this world by way of him controlling the hearts and minds of the unredeemed.
Troy, do you even know what you believe? Your question to me on this contradicts your diagram that you previously shared.
Revelation of John 12:9-11
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.
Who overcame?
Overcame who?
Overcame how?
When is His-God’s Salvation, Strengthen, The Kingdom, and The Power of His Christ? *hint, it was after the serpent, the devil, the great dragon, the accuser of the brethren, satan and his angels were casted out of heaven down to earth.
Who are the brethren that he accuses?
Or
James 4:6-7
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”.
Who is resisting?
Who are they resisting?
What does the one being resisted do?
Or
Romans 8:31-39
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
Who is he that condemneth?
Did you notice Paul did not say “what” he said “who”.
Who can’t separate us?
He said creature.
Which creatures can’t separate us?
Paul then lists these who can’t;
Death, angels, principalities, powers, nor any other creature.
And in all of that he said, “We ARE More than conquerors”.
You may want to check out verses 9-11 of the same Romans chapter 8, they are awesome!
Romans 8:9-11
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”.
“Quicken” our “mortal” bodies,,,,
Not just at our resurrection but also now. Look up Ephesians 3:16
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;”.
Check out 1 John 2 for our modern day antichrists & 1 John 4, also 2 John 7.
“You do realize that “antichrist”(s) is only used by John in 1 John and 2 John don’t you? By name that is….

We war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in heavenly places.
