Fighting the Iniquity Force

Fighting the iniquity force  (with ideas from Dr. Michael Lake’s work The Sheeriyth Imperative)
          
Did one third of the angels fall when Satan did? Find out what Scripture says and doesn't say - Harbour Light Ministries

I’ve been reading The Sheeriyth Imperative by Dr. Michael Lake. 
I’d like to teach you a few things from that book….

So let’s go to:

Isaiah 14:12-15 p 306
“How are you fallen from the shamayim, O Heilel son of the morning-ben shachar!  How are you cut down to the ground, you who did weaken the nations!
13  For you have said in your leb, I will ascend into the shamayim, I will exalt my kesay (throne) above the chochavim (stars) of El (God):  I will sit also upon the Mount (Moeds) of the Congregation, on the sides of the north.
14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;  I will be like El-Elyon.
15  Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the sides of the pit.”

Now go to:

Ezekiel 28:12-16 p 415
“Ben-adam, take up a lamentation for the melech of Tsor, and say to him, This says the Master YHUH; You sealed up a pattern, full of chochmah, and perfect in beauty.
13 You have been in Eden the Gan of Elohim;  ever precious stone was your covering, the ruby, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the turquoise, and gold:  the workmanship of your setting and your mountings was prepared for you in the yom that you were created.
14 You are the Moshiach-like cheruv that covers;  and I w had placed you upon the kadosh mountain of Elohim;  you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 You were perfect in your halachot from the yom that you were created, until iniquity was found in you.
16 By the multitude of your trade they have filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned:  therefore I will cast you as the profane-one out of the mountain of Elohim:  and I will destroy you, O covering cheruv, from the midst of the stones of fire.”

So who is this about? Lucifer / hasatan.
           
-        So here’s a question…. That Dr. Lake asks about these two Scripture passages…

What is missing in these two Scriptures?

It’s interesting to think about, isn’t it?  I mean, do you read Scripture asking questions or do we just read the words on the page and not really think about them more than what the sentence means?

Could there be something missing in these verses?

At first glance it is easy to miss…or overlook.

Where are all the angels that fell with him?  Why aren’t they included in these two scriptures?

The fallen angels aren’t mentioned in either of these!

Now maybe we can say :

This is because  the prophets’ whole point was to just talk about satan.

OR
            Maybe it is a progressive falling away over time!

Well – you might recall that the Word says “1/3 of the angels fell WITH lucifer”!

So let’s look at that…

Revelation 12:1-9  p 918

12:4 “And his tail drew 1/3 part of the cochavim, of the shamayim, and did cast them to the olam (down to earth)

12:7-9 


            Dr. Lake says that from Rev 4 and following – the book of Revelation - seems to be sequential time.  (Meaning “the revelation of Christ and the end-time events do not skip back and forth in the story line.) 

            It was “like watching a movie” … Dr. Lake said.

            He goes on to say that –many think that  this part about the angels falling in 12:4 – well “that is just a flash back …  to the fall of Lucifer”. 

But he doesn’t agree… and I think his point is worth listening to.

Dr. Lake goes on to say that there are several points in history where “Immortals (are) conspiring against the God of heaven and earth.”
1.     Genesis 3 – the nachash (serpent)
2.     Genesis 6 – the sons of God (or watchers)
3.     Genesis 11 – the Tower of Babel – “where YHUH divides humanity into 70  groups that are placed under the leadership of members of the Divine Council.”

“Throughout time, these principalities yielded to the Iniquity Force, and God proclaimed their eventual judgement in Psalm 82.

Back to Revelation:

Revelation 12:1-9 is “prophetic imagery” that is “speaking of the nation of Israel during the Tribulation Period.” 

            Israel is the woman that produced the man child, which represents the true and only Messiah.”

            “What is apparent in these verses is that the attempt to destroy the woman is an event in which she finds safety in the wilderness for 1,260 days, or three and one-half years.  So the surrounding prophetic imagery is placed within the Tribulation period and not some event that transpired in the distant past.”

            So – “Why would God (YHUH) put this event” – the whole thing about the fall of the angels and satan – if it already happened? –

 in the middle of the time He is protecting Israel?

Why would he just throw this in there?

Dr. Lake said – the answer is “He would NOT.”

And the more I study the more I see what he is saying!

He goes on to say:

“there is a major conflict in the 2nd and 3rd heavens, during which the archangel Michael and the armies of heaven are commissioned by Almighty God to cast Lucifer and his cohorts out.”

So yes – that assumes Satan is still in the 2nd and 3rd heavens…

Dr. Lake goes on and explains that God will have them cast out of 2nd and 3rd heavens in the upcoming end of days…  for 2 reasons:

1.     “Mankind has rejected the worship of the One True God and has worshiped Lucifer and many members of the Divine Council that have ruled over humanity.  The almighty is having these immortals cast into the 1st heaven, so that all humanity can see what they were really worshiping.”

2.     “In casting these immortals into the 1st heaven, God has stripped them of their access to the higher spatial dimensions.  In fact, there is evidence by other researchers, such as Dr. Tom Horn, that these immortals have been seeking a way to produce a type of incarnation.  God grants their desire in an unexpected way, which results in these immortals having limited physical bodies just like you and me.  Such an event would fulfill the prophetic judgment God made in Psalm 82 against the members of the Divine Council that proved to be evil rulers;  God told them that they would die like humanity they ruled over.”


Lake writes:
            “We have Lucifer and company being cast out of the 2nd and 3rd heavens during the Tribulation period.  This even causes Lucifer to attack Israel in an unprecedented assault that results in divine protection for them in Petra. 
            Now there is an announcement from heaven that the accuser of the brethren has been cast down.   
            There are several implications in this declaration:
1.     Up to this event, Lucifer has been able to appear before the throne of God to accuse us;  and

2.     After this event, Lucifer no longer has that luxury and cannot access the 2nd and 3rd heavens.

 – at that moment, this fallen cherub realizes that his time is short and unleashes such a wrath upon the inhabitants of earth that it requires a prophetic pronouncement of ‘woe!’”

So it makes sense that this could still be a future event… And the falling away has been a progressive falling away…

Dr. Lake goes on…

“We have underestimated the power of the Iniquity Force in a time in history when we need to UNDERSTAND IT THE MOST.”

I finally understand at a completely different level – why YHUH had told Joshua that Yisra’el must kill all of the peoples living in the Promised Land. 
We have talked about before – that they were giants – Nephilim – even cannibalistic tribes. 
But having listened to SRA victims talk about their experiences with Nephilim… and that they are just pure evil – there is no love or kindness – even anything human-like in them… it makes even more sense now. 

Dr. Lake goes on

“While we are wrapped in complete biblical ignorance of this force, there are potions of humanity that have dedicated themselves to understand it and mastering its flow through their very hands.”

            And he goes on to talk about Manley P Hall and Free Masonry, and the Luciferian Elite.
And then he says –

“The enemy’s power has been identified and defined by the very Word of God.
The only defenses from this force of darkness have been revealed too:  The gospel must be heard and received, true repentance must be achieved, the blood of Christ must be properly applied, and biblical holiness must become the armor to withstand the enemy’s onslaught.
This is the task that lies before the Remnant in this hour…”

Do we see what is going on?
Do we see the Iniquity Force has been adding things to the air, to the water, changing the seed of the food and working very diligently to change the seed of our children with vaccinations and other means and GMO and other things….

Do we see the bigger picture?

The Iniquity Force - - what our FIGHT is really against - 

Ephesians 6:12 p 887
“Because we wrestle not against flesh and dahm (blood), but against principalities , against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this olam, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Do we know that because…

Romans 8:11
 “The same Spirit that raised Yahusha haMashiach lives in you…”

That we have (Luke 10:19) “power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Plus, consider what Yahusha said just before He ascended to the Father…
Mark 16: 15-18 p 723

Do we live like this?

Do we pray like this?

Are we intentional and offensive in our prayers?

Maybe we need to pay attention in the WORD – so that we can recognize when things are not of the Word and apply that to what is around us daily!

Shaul (Paul) gave instructions on how to live - to the believers Ephsiyah…

Ephesians 6: 10- 18 p 887

Luke 6:12 p 731 tells us that Yahusha prayed ALL night before He chose His disciples.

Mark 1:27 p 707
“And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this?  What new teaching is this? For with authority HE commands even the shedim (demons), and they obey Him.”

Dr. Lake says
“Jesus was different than the religious leaders of His day.  These religious leaders may have trusted in their family’s name or even in their schooling as their source of authority among the Jewish  people. Jesus’ authority flowed from His fellowship with His Heavenly Father.  This fellowship was so intimate and so powerful that Jesus declared:”

John 8:28-29 p 763
“Then said Yahusha to them, when you have lifted up the Ben Ahdahm (son of man), then shall you know that I am, and that I do nothing by Myself:  but as My Abba has taught Me, I speak these things.
29 And He that sent Me is with Me: and Abba has not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him.”

Lake says
“Jesus was our example, and His life was empowered by two things: 
1.     His fellowship with the Father, and
2.     His faithfulness to His Father’s instructions (commands)”

This sounds like Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12 to me!
Those who keep the commands and have their faith in Yahusha!


So if the falling is a progressive thing – and one third of them will fall in the end…  does that change our perspective?

Does that bring up the old phrase – “Baby you ain’t seen nothing yet”?

It should!

We have to be always on alert for the thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy.
The one who prowls around like a roaring lion…

1 Peter 5:8-9 p 827

Because there is an iniquity force…. And we have to be in the Word  - daily increasing our understanding

That the same Spirit / power that raised Yahusha from the dead lives in us!

I struggle sometimes – with teaching things… hard things… because so many times I wish the world was what I was told it was when I was a kid.

I’d even be thrilled with what I learned it was as an adult from the media (Okay well sort of!) J 

But if we don’t know what to expect…  then dismay and deception can easily happen. 

Remember when Disney seemed like just nice stories for kids?...  But now as we learn to see what is really in them…. Oh my!

So we have to talk about the things of the iniquity force…

But we have to go back to…

The same Spirit that raised Yahusha from the dead – lives in us!
We have to learn how to live!
We have to be in His Word….

Last week we talked about our calling being – knowing His Word…  and walking in it…
This is why.
This is why we fight…

The Word says .. “your enemy satan, as a roaring lion, walks around on earth, seeking whom he can devour.”
Well as a roaring lion is NOT thee Roaring Lion of Judah!! 
And I’m going with what HE says!

But I have to know what He says!

May we learn how to fight!

Sh’ma Yisra’el.
