Genesis Lecture 20 (Spiritual Beings 9)
Bible passage: Genesis 1:1
“ In the beginning God created heavens and the earth”
This is the 20th Lecture on Genesis.
Let me briefly review what I have explained to you so far. In the beginning, God the Origin existed in the original space in the form of Light containing the Sound. At a certain point, the original form of God cohered as one light at the vertex of the spiritual realm. At the same time, the original space was divided into four spaces that are different in the density of spirit and brightness of light.
Here, the universe refers to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th heavens, including the 1st heaven. As God, who is light, concentrated the light in one place, four spaces with different densities of light were created. They are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Heavens. God the light that cohered as one light at the vertex of the spiritual realm was divided into three lights, and each one put on the form of man. God the Origin became God the Trinity as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Trinity, first created what is necessary in the place where God stays. And then, He created spiritual beings that He could supervise.
They were “Angels” and “Cherubim.” The number of angels and cherubim is infinite, and they are organized very well in a strict order so that they can perfectly carry out the command of God. That means the number is countless. It's not just a few hundred million or a few billion, it's a lot more than that. Among angels, God gave humanity and free will to three archangels that served God the Trinity. And among these 3 archangels, Lucifer was in charge of music, and served God the Father. She gave praises to God the Father with her beautiful voice and various instruments, and she pleased God the Father with sweetness of her words. God the Father also loved Lucifer so much, who always gives joy and happiness, and allowed him to enjoy great power and glory.
However, as untold time passed by, she became arrogant in her heart, and she ended up rebelling against God. Her rebellion failed, and she was confined in the Abyss. Before Lucifer was confined in the Abyss, she made an outlandishly insolent request of God the Father. It was to give her authority that would be great enough to compete with God at the start of human cultivation. In order to accomplish human cultivation within the perfect justice, God accepted Lucifer’s request as it was. From this point on, I’m going to talk about the world of evil spirits of which Lucifer is the leader. Lucifer and the evil spirits are released from the bottomless pit on the first day of creation.
When God said on the first day, “Let there be light,” there was light, and He separated the light from the darkness. I will explain this later in greater detail when we come to Genesis 1:3-5. However, on the 1st day, God made the spiritual light to surround the earth. When God said, “Let there be light,” there was light. God called the time period as the light surrounds the earth “Day,” and the time period as the light is withdrawn “Night.” It was at this very first “Night” that God released Lucifer and some evil spirits from the Abyss.
When He created heavens, He created a place for evil spirits to reside in the second heaven on the second day of the creation. He freed the evil spirits from the bottomless pit on the first day of creation and allowed them to dwell in part of the 2nd heaven on the second day. Lucifer created her kingdom in the second Heaven, and she established an organization in the world of evil spirits. For a very long time, Lucifer observed how God governed the spiritual realm while staying with Him. And thus, she imitated God’s way of control when she established her own kingdom. First, she made her own thrown, and made the dragons encircled it.
And then, she had the servants of the dragons – the fallen cherubim under the supervision of the dragons – surround her throne and guard it. In this way, she revealed her desire to sit on the throne of God. When Lucifer set up the organization in the world of evil spirits, she also imitated the way of God. Just as God set up two classes of spirits – the angels and cherubim – at His command, Lucifer also governs her kingdom through two classes. One is the class that consists of dragons and their servants, and the other is the class that consists of Satan and the devil. Because God knew that the four dragons would betray, so on the contrary, He created the four living creatures to guard God.
As I may explain in great detail, some of the fallen angels were released from the Abyss to work, and they function as the devils. Lucifer gives orders through these two classes and controls the world of the darkness. The servants of dragons and the devils are actually low in their ranks in their respective classes. However, Lucifer made the rank of dragons’ servants higher than that of the devil. It was the promise Lucifer made with the dragons when she planned the rebellion in order to win the dragons over to her side. Lucifer told the dragons that she would put them in higher ranks than the devils if dragons helped Lucifer. In order to win the dragons and their servants over to her side, Lucifer made such a promise. In the world of evil spirits in the second Heaven, the rank of the devils is the lowest. If you also are to consider demons, of course the rank of the demons is the lowest. However, demons are basically different from the evil spirits; they don’t stay in the second Heaven but on the earth. The organization of the evil spirits runs according to a very precise and strict order. As Lucifer gives an order, this order is conveyed by the dragons to the servants of dragons. Lucifer also gives orders to the devils through Satan.
Due to this kind of an ordering system, neither the dragons give orders to the devils, nor does Satan control the servants of dragons. In other words, dragons do not give orders to the devil or Satan does not command the dragon's servants. You understand it, don’t you? This world of darkness is divided into two distinctly different systems, so the lines for sending and receiving commands are clearly separated. Therefore, the dragons give orders only to their servants. Satan never controls the dragon's servants..
Dragons control their servants, and Satan controls the devils. When the servants of the Lord or God's workers know the world of evil spirits, they gain strength, and when they know and command, evil spirits tremble and run away. If you know their identity and command them in the name of the Lord, they will immediately run away. Jesus once mentioned about this world of evil spirits that is in very strict order. He said in Luke 11:17-18, “But He knew their thoughts and said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls People are saying that the Lord casts out demons through Beelzebub.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Likewise, the world of Satan is never in conflict with one another, so does it make sense if there is conflict in the kingdom of God? What if there is a dispute within the church? There should never be conflict within the church. “Beelzebul” was considered as the “ruler of the demons” by the Israelites way of thinking at that time. They say that Jesus casts out demons with the power of the king of demons. This is said without any knowledge of the spiritual world. I n this way, people carelessly call God's work, miracles, and Power heresy and call it the work of the devil. When the Pharisees saw Jesus cast out a demon from a man, they said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul.” According to what they say, the forces of darkness have driven out the forces of darkness, so they are in conflict among themselves.
However, Jesus said there are orders in the world of the evil spirits, and they don’t divide against themselves. Even in the world of evil spirits, there is organization and order, so they do not fight or dispute among themselves. Dear brothers and sisters. Let me tell you about the roles of the evil spirits. First is the role of Lucifer, the head in the world of the evil spirits. Lucifer tries to drag just one more soul to Hell through the dragons and their servants, and through Satan and the devils. In addition, she uses her previous experience in music to control people's hearts and thoughts through world culture, especially world music.
The people who are under the influence of Lucifer think and act according to her will without realizing it. People’s outlook, their hair style, and makeup become more and more provocative, and it is the result of unconsciously receiving Lucifer’s influence. Among the songs of the world, there are songs that praise Satan and there are songs that give you goosebumps just by listening to them. On the other hand, praise in the Lord makes you reflect and repent while praising, it give you strength to cast off sinful nature and brings peace of mind. Moreover, Lucifer drags people into sin through the well-developed mass media of this end time. As the secular culture rapidly spreads through TV and the Internet, people tend to be stained by sin much more easily. This is also the work of Lucifer. Some of your children may become addicted to games, movies, and the Internet.
They rebel against their parents, have depression, and can't think straight. They also experience confusion. In this way, Mass media corrodes the spirit of this generation. Lucifer also motivates and instigates the people that have the authority of the world to stand against God. For example, some countries politically suppress and attempt to annihilate Christianity. In this situations it is Lucifer herself who directly incites the heads of the countries and provokes them to action. Additionally, Lucifer uses all kinds of means to deceive people to worship her. In reference to this, the Bible called Lucifer “the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality.” The Bible says "herlot" because Lucifer was a feminine angel. Since Lucifer was an archangel with feminine character, she was called “the great harlot” in the Bible. As the most high among the ranks of evil spirits, she controls the evil spirits from behind the scenes. She may do things by herself, but usually she is hidden in the background and leads the flow of the darkness. The actual authority belongs to the dragons.
Lucifer works through the dragons, and the dragons give orders to their servants. If Lucifer is likened to a king of a nation, a dragon can be likened to the prime minister or army general of the nation. However, when the dragons do something, it is not as though they receive every order from Lucifer. It is possible because Lucifer already planted her thought and mind into the dragons. Therefore, as the dragons make a plan and exercise it, it is actually the thoughts of Lucifer that does it. Just as Lucifer desires to be worshiped, the dragons also have such desire. Since ancient times, dragons have made people worship them by having carve dragon patterns or make dragon statues. In Korea alone, how many places have dragons engraved on them?
In furniture, royal clothing, hanbok, and tattoos. Men especially like to get dragon tattoos on their backs. There are also religions that consider dragons sacred and worship them, but this is the result of being controlled by dragons. Revelation 12:7 mentions about “the dragon and his angels.” During Lucifer's rebellion, some of the groups that followed the dragon are released along with the dragon and act as the dragon's servants. The dragons’ servants changed from their original beautiful appearances to ugly and beast- like images. It's a cursed appearance that people often describe as looking like a "monster." In reference, Leviticus Chapter 11 lists the animals that God considers detestable. It is these animals that have the shape and look of the fallen cherubim. And God told us not to eat such animals. It is because the detestable animals that resemble the fallen cherubim are usually toxic and can have a negative impact on people. It makes people’s hearts evil, instead of good.
Dear brothers and sisters. There are cases that diseases come upon due to the work of the servants of the dragons. When you see with spiritual eyes as you give prayer for the sick, sometimes a bunch of mice go out from the people’s body. Depending on what's going on, you can tell what the person's physical condition and pain are like. When a swarm of rats goes out, they gnaw. So how much pain would the patient feel? If earwigs or centipedes come out, these may also be related to pain. When your spiritual eyes are opened, you will see animals that are described as abominable in the Bible going out from the patient.
If the pig went out, the person would only want to eat it. even if the patient eats, he'll still be hungry, and when the pig goes out, his desire disappears. Likewise, there’s something spiritual about the pig inside you, you just let it eat. So, no matter how much you eat, you still feel hungry. However, if you defeat it with prayer and the pig goes away, those symptoms will disappear. I know this because I prayed for many believers and saw pigs going out and heard their testimonies of recovery from the disease. Sometimes animals with a shape of a swine go out. In some cases of men who are suffering from serious headaches, a bird is pecking with its beak at the head of the man. Of course, not all of those who have headaches fall into this category. I’m citing such cases for your reference because this may be the cause of serious headaches.
Are there only birds? There are many more. Similarly, there are conditions of diseases coming upon people through fallen cherubim, the servants of dragons. Now, dragons also incite evil people through their servants to commit cruel crimes. For example, there are violent criminals who have done things that no human being should ever do, such as human trafficking or murder. Even the world calls them “people with the face of a man and heart like an animal.” It means they are humans who have a beast heart. In case of such people whose heart or deeds are so brutal, chances are that they are instigated by the dragons’ servants. It's no coincidence that organized crime figures often get tattoos of dragons and other fierce creatures.
So the Bible says not to carve such patterns on your body. Even in the Book of Revelation, getting tattoos like this is forbidden, but now you can see a lot of women getting tattoos too. However, they do this because they are unaware of the spirit world. However, among the dragon's messengers, the form of evil that appears varies depending on which beast is incited. It is because animals have different characteristics such as atrocity, cunningness, uncleanness and filthiness. Dear brothers and sisters. Now, among the evil spirits, I will tell you about Satan. Simply put, “Satan” is the “heart of Lucifer.” Satan works through human thoughts and has no real form. It has the power of the darkness that belongs to Lucifer, and thus it makes people possess evil thoughts and mind. In Job, Satan instigated evil people to take Job's possessions after God allowed it.
Job 1:15 says, “the Sabeans attacked and took… oxen and donkeys”. And, Job 1:17 says, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them.” Satan also “smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” (Job 2:7) Likewise, Satan causes harm to people such as bringing diseases onto them. By the way, when Satan incites people, Satan works as various kinds of spirits according to the attributes of the people. For example, there is a mention about “a deceiving spirit” in 1 Kings 22:22. This verse shows that Satan worked as a deceiving spirit, and it incited the prophets who were telling false prophecies. They are instigated because they lie. For example, if you commit adultery, Satan instigates you to do things of the flesh that lead to death.
That's because there is an adulterous nature in your heart. by taking control of your mind, Satan have you deceives someone and leads all of you to hell together. When a man sees a woman, he naturally develops lust, but it’s not a fact. The fact is that Satan uses the adultery in his heart to control him. So, when a man is triggered by Satan, he is encouraged to commit a crime, and eventually he commits adultery and commits sins leading to death, becoming food for Satan. If this process is repeated, the man becomes corrupted without even realizing it. As Revelation 18:2 mentions about “an unclean spirit,” Satan works as an unclean spirit for the people who find pleasure in unclean deeds of the body. The example given above is a case of receiving the work of an unclean spirit.
Homosexuality also applies here. These are all cases of being instigated by an unclean spirit and leading to death. “The spirit of error” appears in 1 John 4:6, and this is also another way Satan works to instigate the people who love the world. Satan uses money, honor, and the opposite sex as forms of bait to deceive and lure people to fall into the world. You must be able to discern for yourself which spirit of deception you may be deceived by. It may be an unclean spirit or a lying spirit. People who are deceived by a lying spirit believe that it sounds great and true. However, those who know the truth and enter the spirit will realize that every word they say is a lie. The words are well packaged and sound plausible, but there is a lie in them, and if people are deceived by them, they are on the path to death. How unfortunate is it that people do not know the truth and fall into delusion due to the work of these spirits? Now, I’ll tell you in detail how Satan instigates people with an allegory.
There are many radio waves in the air that are invisible. With a proper antenna, you can receive those radio wave signals. The contents of the wave signals can be conveyed to a TV, Radio, or a cell phone. Satan works the same way. Satan continually spreads its mind and ability to the air. When the “waves of darkness” spread by Satan encounter a suitable receiving antenna, that is, a person with that attribute, they are connected to the people. Satan spreads the spirit of lying, adultery, uncleanness, and deceiving spirits. And your untruth and sin nature picks up the signal. At this time, it is the darkness within the human heart, that is, untruth and the nature of the flesh, that acts as a receiving antenna. If you have adultery in your heart, you will contact with the adultery signal, and if you have the attribute of lying, you will contact with the spirit of lying.
With this principle, the delusion of uncleanness is within you is connected to that signal Satan spreads. For example, when someone has hatred in his heart, he can receive the attribute of “hatred” that Satan has spread in the air. The signals that Satan has spread and the frequency the antenna is set to receive in the heart of the man are perfectly tuned. The frequency of the radio waves spread by Satan and the antenna in people's hearts match perfectly. Satan makes his hatred grow bigger and bigger. In this way, the mind of untruth gaining strong power through Satan is called ‘receiving the work of Satan’ or ‘listening to the voice of Satan.’ You must know these things so that you can discern whether you have been under the work of Satan and have received his voice. If you have lusted after looking at a woman, you have been connected to the unclean spirit spread by Satan.
Then Satan makes it so strong that it rises up like fire. When Satan instigates people, he works from the outside, so he needs a passage to penetrate into people's hearts. That is “thought.” A man puts what he sees, hears, or learns through his senses and feelings into his brain and heart. When certain conditions are met, he can be reminded of it, and it is called “thought.” Therefore, depending on what was input, the thought can be different as well. The one who inputs only the truth can think only about the truth in any situation. On the other hand, the other who has many inputs of untruths can come up with a thought of untruth first.
According to whether you input untruth or truth and Satan influences you or not. Most people have more input of untruth than truth. It is because they were born in the world where sin is rampant, and they haven’t been educated in the Truth. Therefore, most people receive the untruth, and they also receive the signals that Satan spreads. Satan instigates the people who have untruth in their hearts so that they think something evil and untrue. Ultimately, you must realize this fact: Satan controls the thoughts of your heart.
You shouldn't think this is nonsense And Satan hinders people so that they cannot obey the law of God, which is the truth. For this, Romans 8:7 says, “the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; The thoughts of the flesh are at enmity with God. for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so.” Once the thoughts of the flesh enter, no matter how many times you hear the truth, you cannot obey the truth You know that the thoughts of the flesh are sinful, yet you end up listening to Satan's voice and acting on it. That is why He says “for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so.” The reason the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God is that it is instigated by Satan. When Satan instigates a thought, if you do not reject it and continue to accept it, Satan may even take over your mind. Once your heart is captured by Satan, you can no longer act on your own will. Such was the case with Judas Iscariot.
Luke 22:3 says, “And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.” Satan has no a form and is invisible, but it is certainly real and can enter the hearts of sinful people. Here, “Satan entered” means that Judas Iscariot continually received the work of Satan’s thought his mind, gave up his heart to Satan, and eventually was seized by Satan. Judas Iscariot followed Jesus. He witnessed amazing works of God’s power and he was taught goodness. However, his greed drove him to steal the finances of God. Despite knowing that it was wrong, he stole God's things because he couldn't give up his greed. In addition, though his heart was that of a thief, he expected to enjoy great authority and honor once Jesus became a king.
However, as reality didn’t go the way he expected, he first gave his mind over to Satan, and eventually he lost heart as well. In the end he made the decision to sell out Jesus. In the end, his mind is so captured that he can no longer do anything and accepts Satan's control. To put it closely, those who accept Satan's control are ultimately being controlled by Lucifer. In this way, it is called “Satan enters into him” as Satan directly manages someone’s heart. Also in Acts 5:3, Peter told Ananias and his wife that Satan had ‘filled their hearts'. Ananias and his wife promised to sell their land and give it to God, but when they actually gave it, they hid some of price and gave only a portion. However, the Apostle Peter was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and under the authority of the Holy Spirit, he asked them for the truth, but they lied to him. It was not deceiving Peter, but deceiving the Holy Spirit. This means that Peter was a servant with the Holy Spirit. He was governed by the Holy Spirit, who controls his heart and thoughts. It also shows that their hearts were filled with excessive avarice and falsehood.
For this, Peter said that Satan ‘entered’ into them. Therefore, when it says “Satan enters” or “filled with Satan” it means that the heart of Satan is in the heart of a man, and the man becomes like a Satan’s another ego. With spiritual eyes opened, Satan looks like a dark fog. The one who receives the deep works of Satan has a kind of energy that appears like a dark fog surrounding him. To be freed from work of Satan, first of all, you should cast off the thoughts that belong to the untruth. Moreover, by casting off the heart of untruth, you should basically get rid of the antenna that receives its signals. To avoid watching TV altogether, it's like removing the antenna and making it impossible to watch. Unlike Satan, the devils have a certain shape and form since they are fallen angels.
Even those who see with their spiritual eyes open cannot see the form of Satan just by looking black fog, but they can see devils. Generally, they are in dark shape, and like man and angels, they have a head, body, arms, and legs. They also have eyes, a nose, a mouth, and ears on their face. I will cover the role of the devil in the next lecture. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. In this lecture, I explained about Lucifer, dragons and its servants, and Satan among the beings in the world of evil spirits. It is very important to have information about the evil spirit as we are cultivated in this earth. If you understand these things deeply and engrave them in your heart, you distinguish whether you are influenced by the work of Satan, a spirit of deception, a lying spirit, or an unclean spirit. Then, all you have to do is come to your senses and defeat it quickly. If you don't know, you will be attracted to thinking like 'I'm attracted to the man, or the man loves me.' Without knowing that Satan is giving us false thoughts Ephesians 6:12 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Against the spirits of evil in the heavens, in the second heaven. If you know well how evil spirits instigate and incite people, you can easily avoid it. Moreover, as the evil spirits try to hinder the kingdom of God, you can destroy the camp of the darkness. It is because the evil spirits are the forces of the darkness, and the children of God have authority of the light that destroys the darkness.
By the way, even in this world, the brightness of lights varies from candle light to sunlight. Likewise, how well you live by the word of God determines the intensity of the light. I urge you to live by the word of God all the better in this year to shine more brightly. May you drive away the forces of the darkness all the time and give glory to God the Father, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray!
