Joel 198: Satan Corrupted Himself. He wants to hurt God... make Him weep, but how?

First, pastor Chronister fills us in on his condition.

Then, off we go with Job 1:6-12 and dealing with what is actually going on between God and Satan. There’s tremendous tension here. What is the reality of the violent cruelty of Satan? Ezekiel 28:17 is where God says to Satan, You corrupted Your wisdom. It’s all him. God did not make him evil. So, today we’re going to get more of what the truth is, along with this day with billions of Angels in attendance. Both sides consented to the day, and the tension that’s been accumulating for a long time between the two factions; fallen Angels and faithful Angels. And Satan is the cause of this turmoil.

So, we need to look at all the places where God is speaking directly to Satan. That’s the setup. Judas with Satan inside of him comes into play here. There’s Genesis 3. Zechariah 3:1-2 is brought in. We’re also dealing with Job 2:1-10 in this lecture. I wish I could relay to you what our pastor is laying out here. It’s in depth, like this pastor is known to do. There are so many connections that need to be made and we make a few of them here. There’s Job’s wife and Adam’s wife.

Who believes that Satan is telling the truth here? Most Christians think he is telling the truth. Ezekiel 28:18 tells us that it’s Satan that did this to himself and a third of the Angels. So, for those who would say that God caused him to do the things he does and says what he says, this verse takes that away. Romans 1:20 states, “they are without excuse” but if Calvinism is true then man has an excuse.

There’s more to this lecture and we would like to hear from you when you finish. Encourage this pastor in your letters and e-mails.
