?? just looked it up

This is not intended to be a complete presentation but merely a blueprint on which a careful and prayerful study may be made.


It is my sincere hope that you will do exactly that, so you will be better prepared for what is about to unfold.


THE SON of PERDITION


Every ancient culture has one dominate "god". This "god" and his entourage taught many things: metal-working, war, stone-cutting, building and the “path of the stars” (Astronomy) (paraphrase Enoch 7&8)

They all left with a promise to return.



Who are “THEY”?


Gen 6:1-2 & 4 "in the time when men began to multiply on earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of GOD saw that the daughters of men were attractive and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.


The Nephilim (tyrants) were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of GOD came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown."


In Enoch 6 we are given some names, rankings and the number of their ranks; about 200. There was one who stood above the others . . . Semiazaz - Leader of the fallen angels.


Where are They now?


Enoch 18:16 "And HE (God) was wroth with them, and bound them until the time when their guilt should be consummated even for ten thousand years."

2nd Peter 2:4 bears this out: "for GOD did not spare the angels that sinned; on the contrary, He put them in gloomy dungeons lower than sheol (the grave) to be held for judgment."



How will they return?


Let’s take a close look at the 5th trumpet. Rev 9:1-4 "and I saw a star (angel) that had fallen out of heaven onto the earth and he was given a key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss. He opened the shaft (prison) of the Abyss and there went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a huge furnace; the sun was darkened, and the sky too, by the smoke of the shaft. Then out of the smoke onto the earth came locusts and they were given power like the power scorpions have on earth. They were instructed not to harm (to be unjust) the grass on the earth nor any green plant or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of GOD on their foreheads."

They could only cause pain (torture) for 5 months. Rev 9:6: "In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them."

Their description is metaphorical; crowned lions are kings, breast plates indicate war, tails are false prophets (Isaiah 19:14, Joel 1:1-14)


Rev 9:11: ”They had a king over them, the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in our language, "Destroyer."


What of their leader?


Rev 17:8 "The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the Abyss; but is on its way to destruction."

Rev 19:20".....The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.


BELIEVERS: Watch and pray, for the hour grows short.


Eph 6:13 "So take up every piece of war equipment GOD provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will be standing."
