THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Satan’s Tactics to Imitate God’s Patterns

The Unholy Trinity of Satan, Antichrist, & the False Prophet and Other Imitations of Satan 

Many similarities of actions taken by God in HIS salvation/restoration plan are copied and employed, as closely as possible, in satan’s tactics, in order to resist or wrest God’s Written Word. It is understood that if satan thereby may find a “legal” way to reproach God, then it is reasoned that God may not proceed without somehow contradicting Himself. Then would satan have thwarted/altered God’s plan.

SO as God has instituted, according to His Own sense of Justice and Holiness, a certain determined procedure by which He may accomplish His Will….satan tries to work somehow within those set patterns and boundaries God has implemented and imposed. He looks for a means by which he may rightly accuse God and/or achieve his wickedly ingenious goals. Thus a propensity to work around and skirt the borders of God’s established principles/patterns, as he perceives them.

We can see in the light of God’s sense of establishing forever His Justice and His Holiness as that eternally above reproach. And His tremendously long forbearance in allowance of satan’s continued acts of probing defiance. But from satan’s perspective, or at least what he is selling, they are concessions to be touted and are seen as “rights” acquired in his own abilities. Believing that he has forced God into allowances or reprieve by his own wisdom.

This strategy of trying to establish duplicity in God by duplicating patterns is clearly seen here again in this establishing the unholy trinity: satan, the anti-Christ, and the false prophet. By the which he makes an attempt to establish his kingdom within an authenticated pattern of God. And this on the final front of God’s campaign against him…urgency and satan’s wrath is revealed “…for the devil is come down to you, (having just been cast out of the heavens related to the earth) having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” [Revelation 12:12] Having acquired the key to the Bottomless Pit (Revelation 9:1) in what appears to be a final desperate attempt, wherein he is now found willing to give up authority, a throne and power to a human being to rightly claim some continued authority in the earth. That then in principle, his answer to (copying of) God’s delegating of all authority to the Son of Man.

Wherein the Father, through sacrificed Son and resurrection power of the Spirit, would establish a Kingdom of righteousness…. Satan, as the father, with avowed allegiance from two self sacrificed sons, through suicide, and in the power of their resuscitation, would further establish a kingdom of un-righteousness upon the earth.

The Father seeks those who would worship Him in spirit and in truth and so employed His Son; who then overcoming satan, but rejected by man and put to death, yet Resurrected and received by God and by whom He intends to establish His Kingdom… So satan, having overcome these two beastly sons, abominably and therefore are rejected by God, and as Christ, the Anti-Christ slain and brought back from death (Revelation 13:3) employs these two as one. As his King and Prophet, in the purpose of bringing many sons, through death (Hebrews 2:10) into the worship of him in the like spirit, to establish the will of man to be in his kingdom so as to validate himself.

The duplicating pattern of God with intended result by satan being that the False Christ traces Christ’s steps in superiority in dominion due to resurrection: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” …..With…. “For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be lord both of the dead and of the living;..” [Romans 14:9]

As Jesus promised men authority and a throne in His Kingdom to come, so satan grants men authority and thrones in his. As Christ descended below and ascended in resurrection power, so satan is allowed to descend, and as resuscitator, release and resurrect/resuscitate these two in power and authority. Of the Anti-Christ, the first Beast, it is said he ascends out of the sea. The 2^nd Beast out of the earth/land. If it is to be taken symbolically, we would say the first out of the Gentiles, and of the second, out of the Jews. But if taken literally, the Anti-Christ would ascend out of the Bottomless Pit up through the sea, as did Jonah and the False Prophet up through the earth like Samuel.

Truly then both literal “Son(s) of Perdition”…. in their appointed time, “born again”…. up from that place, the Bottomless Pit. Two, kindred in nature and spirit to satan, as previously were their now copied counterparts, the two faithful Witnesses, brought up from their place in their appointed time.

Wherein gifts of power were given to the Apostles to establish the Word, so it will be with these Two. “Signs and wonders will follow them”, as to “…deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Paul says that “man of sin”, the Anti-Christ, is to appear with signs and wonders of falsehood. [2Thessalonians 2:9] The same diabolical power is displayed through the 2^nd Beast, the False Prophet. See Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Luke 21:20-24, Matthew 24:15-24.

Again, following the patterns of God, as the two faithful Witnesses release the fire of God, in answer, so do these call fire from heaven. (To this as Aaron’s rod ate up the serpents, so God finally sends fire from heaven to consume the saints’ enemies Revelation 20:9). It is the Day of Judgment and Wrath and God surely sends a strong delusion that even the elect are tempted to believe. Falsehood is allowed miracle to establish it.

“And he deceiveth the dwellers on the earth….” [Revelation 13:14] As miracles established the Truth in the calling out of a people for God’s Name, so now in that day, miracles are permitted to the calling out of a people for satan’s worship. As God has sealed His, so now satan is permitted the sealing of his. These now not only with false doctrine, but with power of miracles.

As the First Beast is a standing miracle in that his resurrection answers to the Two Witnesses slain by him, so the False Prophet does miracles. As he is given power to grant life or a spirit to the image of the Anti-Christ. In this, the False Prophet resembles the Creator and answers also to (imitates) the life given to the Two slain Witnesses. This as well validates all idol worshippers World wide who worship idols that have no such abilities. How much more they will adore this one….oh how great the delusion.

This then is the Hour of Temptation…. “Because thou keptest the word of my patience, I also will keep thee out of the hour of temptation that is about to come on the whole habitable earth, to try the dwellers on the earth.” So then the “house” has been swept and left empty, with the removal of the dwellers to the heavens. “….and when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” [Matthew 12:45] Dwellers on earth being those in pursuit of the World’s pleasures and promises.
