I'm curious on why people don't believe in Jesus?
Ephesians 6:12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Satan was the given the job as the Lord of the Earth. Satan was in charge of humans and the earth after the Fall from paradise. Satan rules the realm of mankind from the fall, through the Old and New Testament, until Revelations. During that time Satan is condoned by Heaven. Adam and Eve chose law and Satan was the law expert. They got what they wanted; oppressive law, conquering armies and death.
Satan is the leader of the Spiritual forces of evil, in heavenly places, with his minions below, in leadership roles of culture; politicians. It is not the natural man that is at fault; flesh and blood. Satan, who is normally associated with evil, was condoned by God in heaven, during that span of time, as God rested on the seventh day. Like the human Sabbath, one does not work on the Sabbath, but hires others. God was like the chairman of the Board on sabbatical, and hires Satan as his CEO in charge of the humans, with his authority.
Before Jesus began his ministry, he went to the desert to fast and pray. He is approached by the Lord of the Earth, Satan, who among other things, offers Jesus all the wealth and glory of the kingdoms of the earth, if Jesus would bow down and serve him; Satan. Had Jesus accepted the offer, he would have become the anticipated Messiah of the Old Testament; rich and powerful and able to subdue their enemies. But by not accepting the offer, he messed up the prophesies of CEO, Satan, as God rested.
The temptations used fulfill Satan's prophesies of the Messiah, and Jesus's refusal to comply, would lead to political conflict in Heaven; Divine Women, which escalates into war; Michael the Archangel.
Revelations 1-9
1 A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.4 His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.6 The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.9 The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
The red dragon is Satan. His seven heads are connected to the seven days of creation; 6 work days plus 1 day of rest. The ten horns or 1 and 0 are the symbols of male and female, connected to Adam and Eve, humans, and original sin; knowledge of good and evil and law. The ten horns are also the 10 Commandants. Seven crowns were the seven kingdoms of the Lord of the Earth, that Satan tries to give to Jesus in the desert to create his Messiah.
The Divine woman is clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet. She has a crown of 12 stars. The sun is the conscious mind and the moon is the unconscious mind. Her being clothed by the sun implies she is fully aware, without unconscious subjectivity; like instinct. The number twelve is connected to the 12 months of the year and the twelve fruit of the tree of life. The Divine Women is similar to Mother Nature and a return to paradise; new prophecy cycle. But this transitional time is very vulnerable; she pregnant and about to give birth. Her child; promise, is caught up to God and protected. The male child still has growing and maturing to do. God continues and finishes his rest while he baby sits and grooms the child; lamb of God.
Revelations 22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The symbolism implies the Mosaic law stemmed from Satan in heavenly places, condoned by heaven, as God rested. Other than prestige, it was more of a curse to the Israelites, since it never reaches the promises of the Lord of the Earth; anticipated Messiah. It more or less isolated them, which caused many to leave the straight path, incite the wrath of the Lord of the Earth, and the kingdoms of the world to enslave them.
This symbolism has to do with an update in the human brain's operating system away from law for righteousness, and back to the tree of life; natural instinct and paradise on earth. This update occurs with Satan still doing the same things, as before, but while not being on God's payroll as his CEO; Satan not being condoned by Heaven.
Ephesians 6:12**. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil,
now thrown to the earth and living among us.
However, the child slowly grows and matures like the progress bar of an update.
