“Habitation of ” part 1&2 Sun June 28, 2020 Foundation Scripture: Revelation 18:1-5 I. Luke 9:1-6 / Luke 10:1-2, vs. 17-20 A. Authority over ALL devils 1. Who has this power, this ability, this right? 2. All devils – the subject, the understanding / there are many under ’s control; we will study with diligence to unmask every one of them! B. Power & Authority 1. Power (Dunamis) – Force; miraculous ability and strength - Acts 1:8 “You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” 2. Authority (Exsousia) – Privilege; mastery, superhuman - Mark 1:22 “And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.” C. Serpents, Scorpions, & the Enemy (Luke 10:17-20) 1. In context, gives us insight to the chain of command under satan - Serpents (higher ranking demons) - Scorpions (harassing demons / they are like stinging ants, bees, and “see me nots” or “no-see-ums”) - Ephesians 6:12 “principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.” 2. You have God’s miraculous ability and strength; and you have the privilege through the name of Jesus to be superhuman over every , every stronghold, every in this world!

II. satan – Who is He? / What is He? A. Ezekiel 28:11-19 1. He was one of 3 high ranking in heaven (Gabriel, Michael, & ?) 2. ? – Sad to say, Lucifer has never been satan’s name. When the Bible was translated from the original Hebrew, the translators had trouble with this word “halal” / they decided to translate through their Latin familiarity and the name Lucifer came out of this translation…. The actual translation is this: “How you have fallen from heaven O shining one (star of the morning)…” - This agrees with what Jesus said, “I beheld satan fall as lightning (shining one)” - Notice also, in II Corinthians 11:14, satan is transformed as an of light. - satan was the anointed cherub with a magnificent array of beauty and musical ability. (Michael is the archangel, chief warrior, and Gabriel is the chief messenger who stands in the presence of God). - In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses….Michael and Gabriel are mentioned in both the O.T. & N.T., but “Lucifer” is mentioned in only this verse. - This makes perfect sense why the Bible does not reveal satan’s original given name….He is only recognized by His fallen names. B. Unmasking satan (Adversary, Opponent, Accuser) 1. Serpent & Dragon (Genesis 3:1, II Corinthians 11:3, Revelation 12:9) – Deceitful and Cunning 2. or Apollyon (Destroyer) 3. Accuser of the brethren 4. Beelzebub/ 5. Deceiver, , Enemy, Evil One 6. God of this world, Prince of this world, Prince of the power of the air 7. Liar, Father of Lies, Murderer 8. Roaring Lion (I Peter 5:8) – satan cannot take anything from you without “legal” access. He needs a door to gain entrance; thus the reason we must “give no place to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:27) 9. Tempter, Thief, Wicked One
