BOOK SYNOPSIS
‘The Story of the Fall of Lucifer’

consist of ten chapters. An overview of the content of each chapter is
presented bellow.
CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION -THE BEGINNING
This chapter provides a quick

summary of the events of the beginning. In it, the reader learns the reason why
the world was created in the first place. It provides an introduction to the
person of God (the Father) and His only begotten Son. It points the reader’s
attention to the reason why the Father had to sacrifice His Son before
commencing the work of creation.
CHAPTER 2- DISPENSATIONS
This chapter tackles the issue of
imaginary years. It points to the fact that lack of understanding of these
imaginary years that existed between Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 and 2 is a
2
limiting factor in the explanation of human history and the advancement of
biblical research. Without arguing the existence of these period of time,
‘Dispensations’ gives a clear picture of the place where it should occupy
in relation to prophesy. It suggests that ‘with this (prophetic) line of reasoning,
those imaginary years will no longer stand in the way of history.’
Dispensations also provide clear

definitions of the eras that existed since he beginning of the world. Without
allowing imaginary years to blur out the perception of history, ‘Dispensations’
clearly points out that ‘from the time of the beginning when God created the
heavens and the earth, there had been two long era. The first being the angelic
era also known as the pre-adamic era, while the second era is the era of men
which can also be referred to as the adamic era.
After this, it gives the first

introductory remarks about the person of Lucifer, identifying him as the wisest
and the most powerful angel of the angelic era. This chapter also points out
the fact that Lucifer’s corny defeat of Adam was what triggered the beginning
of the Old Testament era of the reign of angels.
CHAPTER 3- MAN AND ANGELS
Using scripture’s concept of

‘spirits’ as a research tool, this chapter plainly points out the differences
between man (the favorite personality of the Adamic era) and angels (the
favorite personalities of the angelic era).
3
This chapter also provides the
missen secret link between the person of Lucifer and the Old Testament law. In
the same way, it reveals the link between the person of the Holy Spirit and the
New Testament law of love. It holds that ‘Lucifer represented the guardian of
the Old Testament while the Holy Spirit represents the real New Testament
Guardian.’
CHAPTER 4- THE FIGHT OF FAITH
After the existence of the link

between the old law and Lucifer has been established in chapter 3, this chapter
goes a step further to reveal the reason behind the seeming antagonism between
the old law and the new one. It shows that Lucifer is the reason why the Old
Testament laws of sin and death must be set aside in order to embrace the new
one which is made available through Jesus Christ.
The Fight of Faith also provides an

introduction to the evil nature of Lucifer in preparation for what will be
discussed more extensively in Chapter 5.
CHAPTER 5- LUCIFER
This chapter is central to this

book. In it, the personality of Lucifer is discussed fully along with the roles
he played during the angelic era. Using relevant bible verses as research
tools, this chapter provides an all encompassing view of his nature,
4
power, glory, pride and wisdom. It reveals the glorious position that he share
with God among ‘the stones of fire’ in heaven before his great fall which shall
be discussed fully in chapters 7 & 8.
In this Chapter, Lucifer is often

referred to as the King of Babylon, King of Tyre, or the Commander-in-Chief of
the Chaldean army. These names are used in relation to the scriptural verses/
tools used in each case especially as it relates to the story of the nation of
Israel in the Old Testament. Other names of Lucifer used here are the Light
Bringer, Morning Star and Day Star.
CHAPTER 6- THE HORNS OF DECEPTION
Using the horns as a research tool,

this chapter reveals a major similarity between Lucifer( the old dragon) and
the New Testament beast. 'The horns of deception reveals the great wisdom of
Lucifer and the beast with which they deceive their enemies.'
This chapter also explains how this

horns, now identified as puzzles, can be solved and thereby disabled.
CHAPTER 7- A BRAND NEW ISRAEL
A brand new Israel is a concise
5
presentation of the account of Lucifer's fall from grace in the earthly system
which God had earlier instituted. It explains all the facts associated with how
he lost authority over believers in the New Testament era.
This chapter shows how the role of

Lucifer and the Old Testament laws were no longer required due to the
introduction of the Holy Spirit into the system. It also tells the story of how
the Lord, Jesus Christ left His throne in the assembly of the gods (i.e heaven
of the angels) to come down to earth and how Lucifer took advantage of His
absence and was maltreating the faithful angels. Here, his plan to take over as
the presiding being in heaven is clearly depicted.
A brand New Israel is simply a

narration of how salvation plan was carried out to completion in the
lives of men ( i.e believers).
CHAPTER 8- WAR IN HEAVEN
War in Heaven' is a concise

presentation of the account of Lucifer's fall in the heavenly system. It
explains all the facts surrounding how he lost authority over the faithful
angels in the New Testament era.
In this dramatic, action-packed presentation, the reader

catches a clear picture of the account of the war in heaven and how Michael, the
6
arch angel gathered his angels and how they marched out to make war against
Lucifer, the mighty angelic guardian and his angels.
War in Heaven simply narrates the account of how salvation plan was carried out
to completion in the lives of the holy angels in heaven.
CHAPTER 9- THE PRINCE OF TYRE

‘The Prince of Tyre’ is the New Testament beast of
revelation. An introductory remarks have already been made about him in chapter
6- The Horns of Deception.
After concluding the narration of the story of the fall of

Lucifer in the earthly and heavenly systems, this chapter takes a step further
to reveal why the devil had to hand over his power and great authority to the
beast after being cast down from his lofty seat in heaven. It discusses the
personality of the New Testament beast in greater detail especially his role in
helping Lucifer to regain his dynasty in the world.
In this chapter, the beast is identified as ‘the god who

reigns in the midst of modern science’, as opposed to Lucifer who reigned in
the midst of the Old Testament laws.
CHAPTER 10- LUCIFER’S RETURN PLAN

Lucifer’s Return Plan explains the strategies that the devil
is using presently in order to unleash his great wrath on mankind as he did
before he lost his position in heaven.
7
This chapter reveals the two major plans Lucifer wants to
carry out to enable him to regain his lost kingdom. These plans are;
1.
To tumble the New Testament era of
freedom and re-establish the Old Testament era of bondage under which he
reigned in the days of old.
2.
To sow the seed of endless war all over the
world.
In this chapter, Lucifer is often referred to as the 'warring

prophet’.
PURPOSE FOR WRITING ‘THE STORY OF THE FALL OF LUCIFER’

INTRODUCTION
THE BEGINNING
For God so loved the world that He gave His

only begotten son that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life
John 3:16
It is a true story. My heart is gladdened each time I consider its reality. In

it, every piece is fitted together by unimaginable love. The account itself
is full of intrigue and exhilarating action. The characters are more real
than anything you have ever watched in movies or read about in any
book. It is a multifaceted story with interesting turns that follow such a
simple pattern that even a primary school pupil would easily understand.
Yet the wisdom contained in it is such that would baffle the greatest
professors of all time. Try to see yourself as one of its characters, and you
11
can imagine the rush of emotion and suspense. This story is one that
many generations have waited to hear. It is an intricate part of the eternal
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to Jews and Gentiles- an everlasting gospel
that dates back to the ageless past.
IT ALL BEGAN IN TIMELESS ETERNITY when the Ancient, Invisible, Immortal

Spirit whom we now know as the Father, sent His Word into the world or
universe as some would prefer to call it(John 3:16). This event first took
place in the realm of eternity, in the Spiritual Territory within which time
and distance do not exist; in the Heaven that was before all heavens were
created, a place where no creature has ever been. No angel has seen this
great Heaven of the Father (John 1:18). None of them even knew the
Father or anything that belongs to this particular Heaven. The ONLY
PERSON who knew the Father or this Heaven was the Word whom the
Father had sent.
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came

down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:13
THE WORD WAS NOT A CREATED BEING. He came directly from the
bowels of the Father. He was an intricate part of the Ancient, Invisible,
Immortal Spirit who dwells in Heaven (John 10:30). Therefore, He did not
only know Him who is the Father, but also had His nature, heart and
wisdom. He was not His servant, but an extension of His very person.
12
God sent His Son (the Word) into the world with the aim of expressing the
glory of His person to creation (John 17:26). The Father wanted to extend
His kingdom by allowing creation to share in His glory. So, He gave His
heart, wisdom, glory, love, beauty, power, mercy and His entire will to the
world in the person of His only begotten Son.
THE GOSPEL IS A LOVE STORY! It was not only founded on the platform of
unconditional love but also built up by the same. This story is the account
of how some have sought the Kingdom of God by way of force, obedience
to the law, manipulation, pretence and impure motives but failed. And
how others sought it by way of love and faith, and were freely given the
opportunity of sharing in the Father’s nature. Keep following this
wonderful story; it will touch your heart.
The Son was given as the Father’s Word- the expression of all that the He
takes delight in. He was His exact image and likeness. Just as a son takes
up the nature of his father, so did the Word take up the exact nature of
the Father. The Ancient of days made the Word appear in such a way that
if anyone should see Him, he would not need to be looking for the Father
any more. He was the express image of the Eternal Spirit who dwells in
the Heaven that is far above all heavens. The Son was made the exact
copy of all that He loves and takes pleasure in. He represented His entire
will and desire for all generations. He was His heart throb. Everything that
He loved was Him. He was the sum total of all that the Father has to say
to creation and all that He wanted the world to learn about Himself. See
the Son, and you have seen the Father- the likeness was that serious.
13
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and

from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the father, and it sufficeth
us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen
the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
John 14:7-9
The Word was all that was required to bring creation into all of the
Father’s glory. He was everything that the world needed to know in order
to learn about the nature and requirements of the Father that safely leads
a person into His glory. Since the reason why the Father sent the Son and
the Spirit was to share His nature with creation, then it meant that the
Word was the reason why all the worlds were framed.
All that the world needed was to see the Word and she would have seen
all about the Father that would make her qualified to enter His glory. The
world needed to hear the Word speak and she would have heard all she
must hear from the Father in order to inherit His kingdom. If the world
would receive the Word, then she has received all that the Father has to
offer to prepare her for His inheritance. All that creation needed was to
hear Him, see Him and receive Him (John 6:27).
Even though, the Word (the Son) was in the exact form that was required
to accomplish the Father’s will, there remained one more thing. The only
begotten of the Father was still carrying the glory of His presence. With
14
this glory, no created being would be able to stand before Him let alone
waiting to hear from Him or even receiving Him. Yet the plan was that
creation would see Him, hear Him and receive Him before sharing in the
Father’s nature. How can this be possible? How would the Son relate the
will of the Father to Creation without destroying her by the brightness of
His glory in the process of doing so? Something significant had to happen.
And of course, it did. The greatest sacrifice of love had to be made.
This sacrifice took place right there in that great Heaven of the Father
before the worlds were framed. It was performed by the unimaginably
great hands of the Father Himself.
On that great day of unspeakable pain, humiliation and sorrow, the Father
took His Son to the altar of sacrifice. The Father loved the world so much,
even before it was created, that He was ready to pay the greatest price to
bring it into His eternal glory. Even before anything that we know or those
we do not yet know ever came into existence, He had this great love for
creation that He was ready to give out His most valuable possession to
save it. Words cannot describe the greatness of the Love that the Father
had for the world and how much He longed to make her His own.
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his
one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be
destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and
lasting life. John
3:16
15
The Son of God was there. He observed the way the Father longed to
extend His love to the world. This kind of love is greater than what mortal
man can understand, but He understood the Father’s love because He
also had His heart. He knew the greatness of his unconditional love and
understood that it is the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of his nature.
The love of the Father is an unconditional love because it had been since
the ageless past before any condition we now know came into existence.
It is a type of love that existed before anything called Jews, Gentiles,
obedience, sin, judgment, justification or death came into existence- a
kind of affection that is not tied to any condition. It is the purest form
of love- THE FATHER’S LOVE (Rom 5:8).
The only begotten Son is the Father’s greatest treasure and this love was
so great in His heart that He would not mind giving Him out for the sake of
the world He loves. But more interesting was the fact that the Son Himself
was not less ready to give up His place as the only begotten Son of the
Most High to embrace whatever love would require Him to do or become
just to fulfill the Father’s will. Just as the Father was ready to sacrifice His
Son, so also was the Son ready to willingly give Himself for the sacrifice of
love(Rom 10:17-18). All that was in that great Abode of the Father were in
one accord as the sacrifice was ready to be performed.
The Father stripped the Son of the glory of His presence. He took
Him to the place of sacrifice and carefully rid Him of that glorious look that
creation would not be able to withstand. This sacrifice was the most
painful thing ever, yet the most glorious (Isaiah 53:1-7). It was
16
certain that the Word, who is the only begotten of the Father, must go and
show Himself to the world before creation can enter into the Father’s
glory. However, He was still carrying that glory which He had with Him.
With this glory, those to whom He had been sent to present the Father
would be destroyed by the brightness of His appearance. But God loved
the world so much that He had to slay Him to make relationship with Him
possible.
After the sacrifice, the only begotten Son of the Father became ‘so
ordinary’ that one beholding Him would definitely consider Him robbed,
stricken, forsaken, unattractive and lowly. He who once sat with the
Father in unimaginably great glory now became as a lamb. And not just a
lamb, but one who had been slain, stricken and humiliated. He was
stripped of the glory that He had with the Father, and was left with His
intricate nature as the only begotten Son of God.
HE WAS STILL HIS ONLY SON AND WOULD FOREVER BE, but He no longer
looked like it in terms of glorious appearance. He still looked exactly like
the Father; He still had all His nature, but no longer did He possess the
brightness of His glory. In appearance, He became as a mere man and
though He did not have any earthly father, He was known all over the
world He had made as ‘the son of man’- a title which He had gladly
embraced for the sake of love.
One would actually think that being slain only meant that He was robbed
of the glorious look which He had with the Father before the world began.
But He was stripped of something far more than just the glory of His
17
presence. As one coming from the Father, He was so holy that He could
not look on a faulty thing. He was not only perfect, but could not bear with
nothing but perfection. Anything that is yet imperfect would be consumed
to ashes before Him. The only begotten of the Father, could not behold
anything that has the slightest spot of imperfection. Just like His Father,
He had such a personality that was too great to imagine. Whatever He
says must happen immediately; His words cannot wait. His commands
must be carried out at such a speed that is not possible for even the
fastest angel. He WOULD NOT change His mind over anything He has
purposed to do. He was too perfect to overlook the slightest sin or
provocation.
However, creature was meant to be made into the Father’s image through
love and relationship with His Son. The world was meant to grow from
imperfection to perfection through the revelation of the Word (the only
begotten of the Father). The Son was meant to be her coach, teacher,
savior and Christ. So, if He is to bring creation from imperfection to
perfection, He must be able to relate with her while she is still imperfect.
The Son must be able to bear with sin and creation’s flaws or failures, at
least for some time.
Therefore, the Father also stripped Him of that ‘impossible-to-behold’

glory which He had with Him before the world began. This made the only
begotten of the Father to become just like ‘a man in search of his lover’.
He became so tender and longsuffering that He could bear very long even
with the most wretched sinner. Sometimes He got angry and would have
destroyed the offender, but almost immediately, He would change His
18
mind and forgive. He repented of many evil He had purposed to do at

instances when he got angry. If not that He turns back from His
anger, the entire world would have been destroyed a long time
ago. This became possible because the Father Had stripped Him of that
fearful aura He had with Him before the world begun.
One seeing the Son with His long suffering attitude would think He has
become different from the Father. But this is not true as the Father
Himself is the most longsuffering, forgiving and merciful God anyone can
imagine. He had the nature of forgiveness but His glory and infallibility
would not allow His merciful nature to be noticeable. The Father really
longed to show the world that He forgives, overlooks wrongs and bears
long with a sinner. But there is another part of Him (His glory and
infallibility as God) that makes it impossible for an imperfect thing to be
able to come near Him.
Even though the Father wanted to forgive or overlook imperfection, He

would not compromise His position as the infallible unchangeable God. It
is true that imperfection cannot come before Him, but deep down in His
heart He longed to bring an imperfect world into His perfection and to
make the corruptible incorruptible. When an imperfect thing comes before
the Father, it is definitely destroyed. But this did not happen because the
Father wanted to destroy it. It is destroyed simply because of the
brightness of the glory of His presence. This glory was preventing His
unconditional love from gaining expression. So, the Father longed to
separate His glory from His person so that creation can experience His
19
compassion towards sinners. THIS DESIRE OF THE FATHER WAS EVENTUALLY

ACCOMPLISHED IN THE SACRIFICIAL SLAYING OF HIS SON.
Dear reader, I believe very strongly that this gospel story would change
your life. It’s all about the Father’s love and it’s amazing how that we
never knew the Father until the New Testament came and the Son began
to tell us about Him. All the prophets of old longed to hear this love story,
but they didn’t because it was reserved for the New Testament believers.
With the sacrificial slaying of His only begotten Son, the Father was finally
able to separate His glory from His person so that His love can be
expressed to creation without any hindrance. The Son is the very person
of the Father in character and nature but He no longer possessed all the
aspects of God that would have made relationship with the world
impossible. He took away everything that would make Him
unapproachable, so that creation can be able to behold Him, who is the
very image of the Father long enough to learn about the Father’s
longsuffering, willingness to forgive, compassion towards sinners and His
eternal plan for all creation. THE FATHER’S DESIRE TO SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM
HIS GLORY FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE WAS EVENTUALLY FULFILLED IN THE REVELATION OF
THE PERSON OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
After the Father had slain the Son in Heaven, He sent Him into the world
to commence the work of creation. Note that this event occurred before
time began. The only begotten of the Father is the creator of everything
that has existed, is existing and would exist in the future. In the
beginning, the Lord was required to make and create the world according
20
to the will of the Father. He made all things in accordance to the

specifications that He provided. The Son and the Father worked together
as one to bring the work to completion. The presence of God with Him was
manifest in the person of the Holy Spirit.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
John 1:1-3
The Word was not alone, but He was performing in the fullness of the
presence of the Father (the Spirit). Therefore, He worked because the
Father was also working. In fact, nothing was made except the Father
commanded the specific way it should be made.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I

work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not
only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:17-19
21
The Son did not do anything of His own, but only the things He saw the
Father doing. He put materials which He required together in the process
of making every creature with such accuracy that one cannot fully
imagine. He had always been with Him and understood the dexterity
required in carrying out His work. He did the Father’s work in the fullness
of the Spirit and was required to present it to Him at the end in a perfect
and incorruptible form. The Son continued to work as the Father also
worked
Chapter Two
DISPENSATIONS
And the Lord God said, behold, the man is become like
one of us, to know good and evil: and now lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat,
and live forever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth
22
from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from

whence he was taken
(Genesis 3:22-23)
From the time of the beginning when God created the heavens and the
earth, there had been two long eras. The first being the angelic era, also
known as the pre-adamic era, while the second is the era of men which
can also be referred to as the Adamic era.
Dear reader, without adequate knowledge of the concept of dispensations,

we cannot understand ‘’The Story of the Fall of Lucifer’’. This is why this
chapter is very important. Please, take your time to understand it.
There are a lot of misunderstandings trailing the existence of pre-Adamic

and Adamic eras. Misgivings over these scriptural concepts are born out of
the inclusion of imaginary years between the first and second verses of
the book of the beginning, Genesis. Though, it is true that thousands of
years passed between these two verses, this period is not one that we do
not know, but it is an intricate part of our history. They are not imaginary,
but real.
Of course we understand that there was a wide gap between when God
first created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) and when He began
to re-create it all over again in verse 3. God did not make earth that is
empty and void; He made it good just as every other thing that He made
in the beginning. But something definitely evil happened along the way
and the earth gradually turned berserk.
23
According to that creation account as recorded by God’s servant, Moses,

God began to re-create the earth once again and we saw that the first
thing that He did was to introduce the Light of the world (Jesus, our Lord)
into the chaotic mass that the earth had turned into.
Jesus is the Light of the world. If He is that Light whom Moses wrote about,
then we can also view that Genesis account of creation as prophecy. I am
no trying to say that they were not real events that birth the existence of
everything both visible and invisible. Of course they are! However, I am
only trying to point our attention to the prophetic side of that wonderful
story that graced the first page of scripture. I believe that a prophetic side
to this story is not a matter of probability but an undeniable scriptural
fact.
By exploring the prophetic side of the creation story, it automatically

follows that the Man Christ, whom all the other prophets before and after
Moses testified about, is the Light in that account. If this is true, it means
there was no light until He came into the world about 2,000 years ago.
With this line of reasoning, those imaginary years would no longer stand
in the way of history. So we can say without fear of contradiction that the
Old Testament era of fallen man was the era of darkness under which the
earth gradually went out of course and eventually became empty and
void. This era is the same as the era of angels. So, we do not really need
to see the chaotic era of the reign of angels as a period of time which we
know little about. The pre-Adamic era is not different from the Angelic era
which is not also different from the Old Testament era. Please, note that I
am now viewing these first verses of the scriptures as prophesies about
the coming of Christ.
24
In case you are yet to understand my drift, let me clarify some terms a
little more. Dispensations which I have always been referring to as eras
are identified according to the class of creatures that reigned in them.
Therefore, the pre-Adamic era or Angelic era is the time of the reign of
angels while Adamic era, also known as the era of men, is the time of the
reign of men. Please, don’t let this confuse you; God is the supreme ruler
of the universe. However, He is the God of love and One who shares. In
fact, the reason why He created the universe in the first place, was for the
purpose of love and sharing. This is why the Lord does not reign alone but
allows creation to join Him as kings and princes in His kingdom.
Therefore, we can define the angelic era in better terms as the period in
which angels reigned together with God in heavenly places. During this
period of time, angels occupied a greater position and possessed higher
authority than every other created being (including man). The Lord
reigned in their midst and had become like one of them. So these angels
were known as gods during this time of their reign because they were just
like the Lord Himself (in appearance) and carried the glory of His
presence.
On the other hand, the Adamic era or the era of men, is the period in
which man now reigns with God in the Heavenly Realm. In this new
dispensation, man occupies a greater position than all created beings and
have higher authority than even the greatest angel. Men now have God
walking in their midst as one of them and are therefore referred to as
gods because they also share the intricate qualities of His person.
25
Please don’t get it all mixed up, the Adamic era did not occur during the
time of the first man. Even though he was Adam, he did not reign. So, we
cannot call that dispensation the era of Adam or the Adamic era because
man did not reign during this period. The first man lost in the Garden of
Eden to one of the wild animals which he was supposed to rule over
according to the word of prophesy God gave concerning him on the sixth
day of creation. The first man lost dominion and became subject to all
manner of things- sin, death, angels, weaknesses, toil and many more.
The old man lost the battle in Eden, so he became a subject instead of a
king. We later found out through the study of scriptures that the wild
animal (serpent) which the former Adam lost to was an angel. This way,
man lost dominion to the head of the angels in a battle of
wisdom. But we also saw that God was not well pleased with the incident
of man’s fall as revealed in His curse upon the deceiver.
The time of the first Adam was not the Adamic era. On the contrast, the
time of the first man was actually the Angelic era. When man lost in the
battle of wisdom to the greatest of the angels (Lucifer), he and all his
descendants became subject to him. The incident of man’s fall in the
Garden of Eden marked the beginning of the Angelic era. This same
period of time which lasted from that time until the coming of Jesus Christ,
the second Adam, is what we all know as the Old Testament era.
Please note that we cannot really say that the Angelic era was God’s plan
for man. No, it was only the result of man’s fall. If he had not eaten of the
forbidden tree there wouldn’t have existed anything like the Old
Testament. It was man’s fall that necessitated the coming of the reign of
26
angels. During this period, man suffered immensely, he was operating on

a level of being that was much lower than his original potential. He had
become a subject, but he was created to be a ruler. On the other hand,
angels had become gods but they were originally created to be servants.
The old covenant was a direct opposite of what God originally intended.
No wonder it went from bad to worse until the Lord decided to end it all. It
was not in the creator’s eternal plan in the first place.
Immediately man sinned in Eden, he ceased to be a part of God’s court.

Before his fall, we read of how God brought all living creatures which He
had made to the man and whatever name he gave to each of them
became their names till today. This signifies God’s original intention to
allow man to sit together with Him as judge of the universe. He was
created to be in the class of God, to have His Spirit, mind and wisdom.
God wanted man to be able to reason along with Him so that decisions as
to how the affairs of the universe should be run can be arrived at together
with him. What a great plan God had for man!
However, when he sinned, everything changed and angels took over the
place that was legally reserved for man. After his fall we read from
scriptures how judgment was passed upon him from the company of
angels. At this point, the Lord was already sitting among angels as judge
and together they (God and angels) determined the fate of fallen man.
And the LORD God said, behold, the man is become like one of us,
to know good and evil: and now lest he put forth his hand, and take
also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever… so he drove out
27
the man
(Genesis 3:22,24a)
Of course, man did not become like the Father by eating from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, instead he died spiritually and became
more like the devil. However, the Lord is saying here that ‘he is become
like one of us’. Don’t let this confuse you, ‘us’ here represents the Lord,
who was the speaker and the angels, who were co-judges at the court
session. These angels were created with the working knowledge of good
and evil. This is because they were meant to be servants according to
God’s purpose for creating them, so He gave them knowledge of right and
wrong. The logic here is that someone who does not have the knowledge
of good and evil cannot be a good servant. However, man was not meant
to be a servant, so God gave him His Spirit instead. He was not meant
to be subject to any created being, so he didn’t need that
knowledge of right and wrong that makes one perpetually subject
to sin and possible punishment.
When man sinned, he lost fellowship with God. He lost the life of the Spirit
which was freely given to him and was reduced to mere dust. He ceased
to be in the class of God by nature and could no longer behold Him in His
glory as before. However, God whose purpose for creation was fellowship
found companionship in no other class of creatures but angels. Though
they were originally created to be servants, the Lord temporarily took
them as sons in anticipation of a future time when the real sons would be
delivered from sin to reclaim their position with God. But until this future
time appeared, man remained subject to angels.
28
Before man sinned, the judgment seat was with him in Eden as the Lord
visited him at the cool of everyday. But immediately he sinned, a new
court was formed in heaven among the angels. It is the custom of the
Lord to closely identify Himself with members of His court. Except you
know Him personally or could recognize his voice, you can hardly
differentiate him from them. In fact, He calls them brethren. This was
why when Christ later left the company of the angels to come into man’s
company on earth about 2,000 years ago, it was very difficult for outsiders
to precisely identify Him whenever He is sitting in the midst of His
disciples. In the same way, when He was sitting in the midst of angels as
judge in the Old Testament era, He considered them as His own brethren
and used the pronoun ‘us’ when addressing them. Outsider could hardly
differentiate him from them.
After the establishment of the angelic court, the first sentence passed
from this court was against man. What a pity! It was such a bad news for
all the unborn generations of the first Adam when the Lord called out to
the angels to come and reason with Him in judgment against him. I can
imagine the angels taking their seats in the court room to ensure that the
verdict was not only passed but enforced. The unanimous decision to send
man out of Eden was the first judgment passed from the angelic court
sessions. This event marked the inauguration of the heavenly court of the
angelic era. It was the first event that occurred in the Old Testament
dispensation of man’s search for restitution. Angels began to reign!
However, according to the prophetic account of the sixth day, this was not
supposed to happen.
29
On the sixth day when God mentioned ‘Us’, He was not referring to
Himself and angels. It was the Father who was speaking here through His
Holy Spirit and was referring to Himself and His only begotten Son. The
account clearly shows us that there were two actors when it comes to the
creation of man. First was the One identified as God (the Father), who
made man in HIS OWN image and second was the one simply identified as
’he’ who also made man in the image of the same God (the Father). This
was not a repetition! God is the Father and the one bearing the masculine
pronoun often associated with the male gender is the Son of Man, our
Lord Jesus Christ; the only begotten of the Father. He had always been the
Son of Man even before the first man came into existence.
… So God created man in His own image, in the image of God

created He him; male and female created He them.
(Genesis 1:27)
The plan of the Father was that man should be transformed into His image
through relationship with His only begotten Son. He wanted man to be like
Him just as the Son is like Him. His plan was for man to also possess the
same Spirit or heart as His so that he can sit together with Him as judge
over every other thing he has created. However, man lost this privilege to
sin and the angels grasped it. This notwithstanding, God did not give up
on His eternal plan for man which he had for him on the sixth day when
He fashioned him in the spirit. As the angelic era progressed, the Lord
began to prepare man once again toward reclaiming his inheritance.
Obviously, God was still interested in establishing an Adamic era that
30
would last forever. Remember that God’s plan for man was that he should
reign together with Him in His kingdom for all eternity.
Since the first Adam was not able to reign, there was a need for a second
Adam. Therefore, the Angelic era continued until Jesus Christ, our Lord
whom we know as the second and last Adam appeared in the scene about
2,000 years ago to accomplish what the old man could not. It was in the
event of His victory over Lucifer that the New Testament era of men
kicked-off. This good news of the coming of God’s kingdom into the midst
of men is the story of man’s deliverance from the anomalies and injustices
of the Angelic era. It is the account our journey towards spiritual freedom
and our quest in reclaiming the glory we lost in the first Adam. In this
legendary story, Christ is the Hero. He is the Spiritual Adam who won the
victory over the wild animal called Lucifer who had defeated the first man
to claim authority over him and the rest of the world. The gospel story is
the story of the battle of battles and the victory, for man, is one of
inexplicable joy.
Even though, the promise of an Adamic era had been given by the very
mouth of God on the sixth day of creation; it did not come into full
manifestation until Christ came. The Lord our God is the first man of
promise. Though the Father had given the first Adam the opportunity of
inheriting the promise of His kingdom, he and all his descendants could
not until the only begotten Son appeared in the form of man. Until He
came, all men were dead. He was the first man who came out alive from
the midst of dead men- the first begotten from the dead.
31
Just as the angelic era began with the appearance of the subtle serpent in
Eden, so did the Adamic era commence with the appearance of the Son of
Man. In scriptures, we saw how the reign of Lucifer began. It was not a
righteous beginning; his reign started on the note of deceit, lies, robbery,
hatred, selfish ambition and antagonism to God’s established order. So,
what do you think would characterize a kingdom founded on such a
foundation? No wonder the Angelic era went from bad to worse until it
eventually came to an abrupt end with the coming of the Man, Jesus Christ
of Nazareth.
There were many righteous angels who were not privy to Lucifer’s
ambitious spirit until they saw him trying to take over God’s throne.
However, their righteousness was not enough to annul the fact that the
whole angelic era was built on a faulty foundation. God still had to end the
reign of angels. If the foundation is at fault what can the righteous do?
The first stones in the foundation of the era of angels were lies and deceit.
There was therefore nothing that even the holiest angels could do to
salvage it when the Lord set Himself in battle array to end it.
I believe by the time you finish reading this book, you would agree with
me that we might need to be more flexible in our view of the angelic era
as an era that existed during some countless imaginary years that we
cannot readily account for or race out from the written word- the
scriptures. We should not forget the Darwin’s theory. One cannot really
estimate the number of years the purported evolution of man from apes
took place or the actual events that culminated to the full manifestation of
humans from primitive life. The subject of imaginary years can be very
32
tricky and one dangerous thing about it (whether the one found in modern
science or in the interpretation of scriptures) is the fact that it distorts
man’s history with the aim of robbing Christ of His glory. Even though,
there was a world that was re-created, we must not allow the idea of the
existence of that world to blur our perception of this present one. We
must be wary as Christians, so that we don’t miss out on some vital truths
of God’s word.

Chapter Three
MAN AND ANGELS

But to which of the angels, did He say at any time,
"Sit on My right hand until I make Your enemies
Your footstool?"
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrew 1:13-14
All the things that the Son made can be broadly classified on the basis of
the realms at which they exist (please note that this is the safest way of
seeing God’s work). These realms are the heavens and earth (Gen 2:4).
According to the will of the Father, heaven was meant to be the throne of
His only begotten Son from which He shall rule over the entire universe in
the fullness of His power and presence- His Holy Spirit (Isaiah 66:1).
Heaven was the seat of power and authority. The Lord ruled the world
from it. This meant that all the affairs on earth were to be controlled from
and by what happens in heaven. This point would enhance your
understanding of the things that I am about to share with you.
34
According to the Father’s plan, the Son made the heavens to be inhabited
by angels while He made the earth to be inhabited by man. However, it
was unto man that the Father had given the promise of adoption.
ANGELS ARE SPIRITS, BUT NOT EXACTLY- the Lord only made them spirits
by giving them the look/appearance of spirits and not because they really
have the intricate qualities of the Spirit. THERE IS ONLY ONE SPIRIT and
that is the Father whose presence is manifest in the person of the Holy
Spirit. Therefore, if anyone would become a spirit he must have to come
through the One and only true Spirit Himself. Only believers who have
been born of the Holy Spirit can be truly called spirits (John 3:3-6). The
angels do not have this privilege.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by

inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my son,
this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?
And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world,
he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Hebrew 1:4-6
Only man has the opportunity of sharing in the same nature as God.
However, not all men have this privilege, but ONLY those who believe in
the One whom the Father has sent.
35
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become

the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12-13
In the Old Testament, angels were preferred above men. They were the
sons of God while man was simply flesh or dust (Gen 3:19). This is
because the old system gives priority to what is observable. Angels
could move with great speed and accomplish wonderful things within a
very short time because of the way the Lord made them. They had a kind
of body that permits them to do these things. They could not be stopped
by a physical wall or things that would normally hinder mortal man. So,
they were able to evade natural laws in the process of carrying out the
Lord’s purposes (Psalm 104:4).
They were spirits by look, therefore they were known as the sons of God
under the system of the old covenant because the former system judged
things according to appearance. They were regarded as the sons of God
because of the way the Lord made them and not because they were really
born of God. They were not given the privilege of sharing in the intricate
qualities of God but their sonship was based on physical or superficial
parameters. They looked like God, so the old system identified them as
gods without considering the intricacies of their nature. However, today
under the new covenant, we who have become heirs of salvation are the
real sons of God because we have been born of the ONLY TRUE SPIRIT and
share in all the intricate qualities of His person. Angels have a spirit
36
body but the true sons of God have the heart of the Holy Spirit
(God). So which one do you think is a greater determining factor, the
body or the heart? Think about it.
The former system forced people to have a carnal perception of

things. Some of the angels who were supposed to serve man became
proud because of the place they had in the Old Testament. Therefore,
many of them set out in pursuit of human worship. Ofcourse, some of
them succeeded and gave birth to the numerous religions that fill the
world.
People of the Old Testament saw themselves as inferior to angels and

many of the people worshiped them. Spirit worship took over the hearts of
the people of the world because men were still in darkness and lacked an
understanding of the future plans of the Father for humanity. If man had
known his place in God’s everlasting plan for creation, he would have
understood that eventhough he doesn’t have a spirit body like angels, he
has been crowned with glory and honor above all of them(Hebrew 2:7).
In this New Testament era of light, we now understand that angels are
ministering spirits sent by God to serve us. They are not our teachers,
savior or God- they are our servants. It is better to listen to what a man of
the Spirit has to say about God than to listen to what an angel has come
to announce. This is why the Lord did not allow angels to bring the
salvation message to humanity. He did it Himself and afterwards allowed
men of the Spirit to convey it to others. Angels are not normally included
in the equation.
37
If only the people of the world would understand this, they would no
longer pay attention to books that some prophets say they received from
angels. The book that contains truth is the one written by men under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit and which contain words spoken by the very
Mouth of God Himself.
Books have been dictated to men by angels. These books contain the
wisdom of angels and not the wisdom of God. The angelic books usually
have sweet stories, local wisdom and interesting moral lessons but they
lack real value and are potentially dangerous because those angels that
dictated them are fallen sinful lying spirits. These spirits have head
knowledge of the Lord, which is why all the religions of the world bear
some resemblance to the Old Testament Jewish worship.
Heaven where the angels dwell became very important, not because
angels live there but because the Lord rules from there. The king of kings
who presides over the affairs of the universe had His seat in heaven. He
ruled the entire world from His throne on the holy mountain. Every thing
that happens on earth was determined by the decisions reached at His
judgment seat. The angels were His ministers but men were to become
co-heirs with Him.
Whatever decision the Lord reached in heaven in terms of justice and the
enforcement of the law, he sent his angels to effect it. This made angels
important in the system of things. The Father’s will is that what happens
in heaven and what happens on earth should bear close resemblance. His
38
desire is that His will be done on earth just as it is in heaven (Luke 11:2).
It was with this purpose of the Father in mind that the Lord made the
heavens and the earth. He made every creature inhabiting these realms
according to the specifications He had received from the Father before the
world began. All men were carefully and wonderfully made to the glory of
the Father, so also were angels.
Everything that has to do with God’s law, rulership and judgment

had its real representation in heaven. This is because heaven was the
throne of God and it was from there that He gave the rules that govern
His chosen people on earth. This meant that the real law and judgment
was to be found in heaven.
Now, the one who truly came from the Father to represent His law was
the Holy Spirit. He is the one whom the Father truly wants to be the
guide of the world that He is bringing into His perfection. The plan of God
was that the Spirit (the guardian from God) should dwell in the heart of
man rather than written laws crammed up in his head.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within
you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I
will give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ezekiel 36:26-27
39
The Holy Spirit was the one who came to testify about the Father’s law
and guardian. He is perfect and holy but the former carnal law was not.
The law of the Spirit administers life to those who believe but the Law of
Moses brought death upon those who trusted in it. The law of the Spirit is
mild and gracious, it doesn’t condemn. No one who lives by Him would
ever know condemnation. The Spirit Himself is that perfect Law
which the prophets spoke about.
According to scriptures, the Holy Spirit was to be given to those who have
been washed in the blood of Jesus. However, Christ did not come until
about two thousand years ago. So, does it mean that there was no law
before the Spirit was given? No ofcourse, the Lord gave the Old
Testament laws in order to bridge the gap.
The Son of God was meant to rule the entire universe by certain laws in
anticipation of the coming of the Holy Spirit. This initial set of laws was for
the purpose of preparing creation for the real law of the Spirit. THEY WERE
NOT PERFECT LAWS, but a representation of the one that must come
later. If the Son did not give this imperfect form of the real law at first,
there would be nothing to prepare creation for what the Father planned
for the time of the end. So, God allowed the Son to give the Old
Testament laws to prepare the world for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
The Old Testament law was given to men on earth, but just as I mentioned
earlier, everything that had to do with judgment on earth had its original
form in heaven. This, as I also said before, is because it is from heaven
that the Son rules the entire universe and it is also the will of the Father
40
that things should be on earth just as they are in heaven. Therefore, the
real law with which the Son ruled the entire universe in the Old Testament
was in its real form in heaven.
Just as the Holy Spirit, who represents the guardian or law of the New
Testament, is a person and NOT a written code, voice or force, so also was
the one who represented the Old Testament guardian/law a real person
who dwelt in the heaven of the Son. This angel was made by the Lord
according to the exact specifications that the Father gave. He was to be
in the Old Testament what the Spirit is now in the New
Testament. This angel was representing the Holy Spirit, so he was made
to be a god even among the gods. I believe you can easily guess who this
angel was. Of course, he was Lucifer, the mighty angelic guardian.
Lucifer represented the guardian of the Old Testament, while the

Holy Spirit represents the real New Testament guardian. The
beauty of the old law before it was distorted by sin can be likened to the
beauty of the devil before his motives became corrupt by sin. The law on
earth automatically became crooked when his heart became corrupt in
heaven where he dwelt.
The old law was represented by the person of Lucifer, the light bringer.
Eventhough, the law (the accuser of the brethren) is generally seen as an
idea, thought or written code on earth, he is not seen that way in the spirit
realm. In heaven, he is seen clearly as a spirit person who dwells in a real
spiritual world. The truth is that the world that we live in presently is not
41
the real world but the real world is the spirit world that our physical eyes
do not see.
The Old Testament era was the era of the reign of angels. They were
allowed to rule with God in heavenly places but the New Testament era is
the era of men. Believers now reign with God in the Heavenly Realm.
The dispensation of angels was very dramatic. They had access to

wonderful powers and great honor was placed on their personalities.
However, they were not perfect and were also subject to error.
Therefore, they needed a guardian (law) who would monitor their
activities.
The Holy Spirit is the great guardian whom the Father had sent, but the
world could not yet receive His ministry. Therefore, in anticipation of
the coming of the Spirit, the Lord anointed Lucifer as the mighty
angelic guardian. He was made with every beauty and abilities required
for optimum performance in his unusually great office, but his heart
became corrupt along the way with diverse vices- greed, pride, arrogance,
vain religiosity, insatiable desires, inordinate ambition, hateful nature,
blood lust, injustice, wickedness and the plan to take the place of God.
Lucifer was not upright in heart. He perverted justice for the sake of
personal gains and abused his office as the angelic guardian. He delayed
justice in the name of ‘due process’ and stylishly obstructed the answers
to the prayers of the saint. When the Lord sends an angel to go and
deliver good news, he delayed him, but quickly allowed the tormenting
42
spirits to go. The devil loved evil more than good and the Lord was not
well pleased with him.
As his office became more corrupt by the day, so did the entire
Old Testament era of angels.
… God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth

among the gods.
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and
needy.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most
High.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
Psalm 82-1-7
Ofcourse, Lucifer was not monitoring their activities with all truthfulness of
heart. Angel worship started proliferating in the world. Instead of angels
being instruments in the hands of the Lord, they were beginning to take
the place of God Himself.
When the appointed time came, the Lord decided to end the era of angels
and to usher in the era of the true sons. With the coming of this new
system, the old one was STRUCK OUT. Lucifer, the former angelic
43
guardian lost his seat and the true Guardian who is the Holy Spirit took
over His rightful place.
However, Lucifer, the angelic guardian was not well pleased with this new
system. He had become so power drunk that he wanted to continue in his
office forever. He had become so used to oppression, dishonest gains, and
the human worship which he continuously received. He didn’t want to
relinquish his post.
Many other angels like Lucifer joined in the rebellion and together they
formed the first enemies of the new covenant. IT WAS WITH THE EVENT
OF THEIR REBELLION THAT KINGDOMS WERE ESTABLISHED. Those who
embraced the coming of the new system became part of the KINGDOM
OF LIGHT, while those who rejected the new covenant but arrogantly
remained in the old system formed the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. The
Lord rejected the kingdom of darkness, but loved the kingdom of light and
made it His own. The devil became the king in the kingdom of darkness
while the Son of God reigns in the kingdom of light forever and ever.
Amen.

Chapter Four
THE FIGHT of FAITH

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of God
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
For all the prophet and the law prophesied until john
45
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias which was for to come
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:12-15
It was not even John who brought the gift of God’s kingdom to all men
(John 1:8), yet the battle for the kingdom started once he showed up to
announce that it was coming (Matt 3:2). In the days of old, salvation
belonged to the Jews, and gentiles had little or no chance. But in this New
Testament era, Christ has brought salvation unto all men (John 3:16). Now
it doesn’t matter if one was a gentile or Jew but everyone has been made
equal in the sight of the Father of all (Galatians 3:28, Rom 10:11-13). This
means great deliverance for everyone, not for gentiles alone but for the
Jews also. Because not all who were Israelites were Jews, for many of
them though born to Abraham were gentiles by nature (Rom 9:6-8). A
large number of them were actually worse than the uncircumcised
philistines (John 8:38-47). So it didn’t matter that they were Jews by birth,
but they still suffered and were destroyed under the weight of the law of
sin and death, because they were not better than the hopeless gentiles
judging by their evil nature. Their case was even worse, as the law which
was given to save them was weakened by their evil tendencies (Rom 8:3),
so that instead of saving them, it brought condemnation. (Rom 7:10).
God’s children (the Israelites) suffered from sin and guilt under the law
because of its heavy burden and strict requirements, while the gentiles on
the other hand stood no chance in the quest for righteousness because
God had already rejected them by not giving them any law to start with.
So who is better, the Jew or gentile? Glory to Jesus for he has revealed to
46
us in these last days that all men are equal before God, for his plan all
along was to subject all men to the power of sin, so that he can also save
all. Paul testified to this truth when he said;
For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have

mercy on everyone.
(Rom 11:32)NLT
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have
before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
(Rom 3:9)NLT
The Israelites therefore needed salvation as much as the gentiles did. All
men needed Christ; all without an exemption- both Jews and
Gentiles. For a true Jew is not one by birth but by a change of heart
through circumcision of the same.
For you are not a Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents
or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.
No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true
circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is
a change of heart produced by God’s spirit. And a person with a
changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
(Rom 2:28-29) NLT
The reason why Christ came was to make salvation available to the entire
world (John 3:16). This was not because God had changed his mind over
47
the fact that salvation belongs to the Jews alone, but because there was a
problem with the way the old covenant (the law) identified whether
someone was a Jew or not.
The truth is that there were many gentiles by birth who were Jews by
heart. There were many who were lawless, not because they were
arrogant, but because no one had given them a law. Some of these
gentiles even fulfill the law of God, when they have not been given any
(Rom2:14), while those with the law continued to break it. This proves to
us that many are Jews by birth but gentiles by nature. However, the law
does not consider this, as it only cares about physical nativity. Therefore
Christ came to appease the old law once and for all, so that he can
enforce a better one that would take spiritual nativity or nativity by heart
into consideration, so that ‘spiritual Jews’ among the gentiles can also be
saved.
God has not changed his mind, as salvation belongs to the Jews ALONE
(Matt 15:24) - now I mean Jews by heart and not by blood line (John 1:12-
13). All gentiles are God’s enemies for ever (Matt 10:5) - and I mean all
those who are without law (lawless), sinful, uncircumcised, unrepentant
and unbelieving (1 cor 6:9, Gal 5:21, Ps 37:20). You would notice this style
in the life and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. He treated repentant
gentiles as if they were Jews (Lk 17:15-19), but addressed unrepentant
Jews as though they were hopeless gentiles (Jn 8:39-44). Many people
misunderstand this but wrongly believe that Jesus is a friend to all sinners.
No! Not exactly, he is only a friend to those sinners who come to
repentance.
48
Christ has broken the barrier on the way of salvation, so that anyone who
believes whether Jew or gentile is saved, and everyone who hardens
his/her heart whether Jew or gentile is condemned (Rom 2:9-12).
Therefore, salvation is made available to everyone who believes no matter
where he or she was born in the world.
The reason why the kingdom of God turned into a matter of violence was
that the law (Lucifer) was aggrieved once it sighted the coming of John.
The old law hated the simplicity of the new covenant, and was offended
once John began to talk about it. Now let’s look at what was actually
happening under the old covenant, and how sin was taking advantage of
the weakness of the law in order to enslave men.
The truth of the matter is the fact that the righteous law of the Lord was
corrupted by sin. Why? Because the law was corruptible of course! The old
covenant was weak and ineffective though its place in God’s eternal plan
can not be revoked. It was easy to manipulate and burdensome. So, the
evil one took advantage of these weaknesses. Sin did not only corrupt the
law, it completely hijacked it and began to use it to its own advantage.
But sin used this commands to arouse all kinds of covetous desires
within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.
At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I
learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin
came to life,
49
And I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were

supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead
Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used
the commands to kill me.
But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right
and good.
But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death?
ofcourse not! Sin used what was good to bring about my
condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin is. It uses
God’s good commands for its own evil purpo (Rom 7:8-13)
So, instead of being the law of life (Christ), it became the law of sin, and
we know sin doesn’t walk without death. Infact the power of sin is death-
his twin brother. So, the law God meant for good for the Israelites became
the law of sin and death in the hands of the devil (Rom 3:20). This
adulterated law that cares only about guilt and condemnation is the
reason why the kingdom of Heaven became a matter of violence in this
New Testament era of righteousness and grace.
THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH IS OUR ARCH ENEMY. All along in the Old
Testament era, this monster was ruling over the life of the Jews, but they
thought it was the same law of God, as they were still in darkness. It made
them slaves to sin and subjected them to painful death. It continued put
so much fear and burden upon their hearts until they began to served it,
rather than God. They forsook all the good things the Lord takes pleasure
in and worshiped the law instead.
50
But no one knew or noticed that this impostor was trying to take the place
of God in the hearts of His people until light came. It hid under the law to
do all these, but when Christ came, He shinned His light into the darkness
of the law and the thief (the accuser of the brethren) was suddenly
revealed. This law of the flesh was not an enemy all along, not because it
was not wrecking any havoc, but because darkness was still hiding it from
the faces of those who would have declared it an enemy.
If you look through the New Testament writings of the apostles, you would
notice how they fought hard against the law of sin and death. It was very
clear that they would not bow to the dictates of the law of condemnation,
so the devil hated them because he could not bear to see anyone being
freed from its dictates. Their gospel of freedom through faith and not by
the law therefore offended the devil (the master of sin and its dictates).
The more we know the nature of the corrupt old law which is represented
by the person of Lucifer, the more we would understand the reason why it
was offended by the coming of the new covenant. Permit me therefore to
talk some more about this selfish impostor.
The old law is very harsh and impossible to please (Rom 4:15). He doesn’t
care about the same things that God cares about even though he used to
be a part of God’s house of Old Testament. He was so close to God in
appearance and in words, but his heart was far away from Him. In those
days, he stayed in God’s presence every day, yet his desires were directly
opposite to His, infact they were contrary and at enmity.
51
So close, yet so far away from him; the lord cared about salvation but he
only cared about death. While God doesn’t want the death of a sinner, but
that he should repent and be saved, Lucifer was only interested in killing
him. He is not happy when sinners repent but rejoices only when they die
as a consequence of their sins. He sees nothing interesting about a
peaceful day, but becomes excited at the slightest scent of war.
The old corrupt law (Lucifer) loves death, pain, plagues and hard torture.
The sight of war chariots, flying arrows and spears, clashing swords, and
scary thunder bolts gives him great pleasure. The smell of fire, smoke,
raw flesh and blood are his greatest delight. He does not understand the
way of love, but only understands the language of hatred, violence and
unforgiveness. The old corrupt law doesn’t care about righteousness, but
only about sin and its consequences. The Lord loves freedom for his
people but it loved slavery and oppression instead.
However, the law of sin and death continued its stay in God’s presence
until the time of its fall came. The Lord hated this law all along, but He
was waiting for the right time to come when He would expel it from his
house ONCE AND FOR ALL, and deliver his people from its grip. Everyday as
he remained in His presence, He saw his heart and hated his motives. He
therefore decided to banish him from his house for all eternity. All thanks
to Jesus Christ our Lord who finally dethroned the law of condemnation, so
that sin and death no longer have a place in this new spiritual house.
The messenger of death (the corrupt law) who is also known as the devil
waged war against all nations of the world. He had no friend, as he is
52
impossible to please. He even hated the Jews more than other people of
the world because of his hatred for salvation (but this was a secret of his
heart which only the Lord could notice). All men including the Israelites
therefore suffered under his evil rule during the days of his reign. He
destroyed both Jews and gentiles alike, and the entire nations
groaned in pain. The law took away all the time and attention that the
people should really give to God and was directing worship to itself.
Lucifer was actually trying to take the place of God.
The devil waged war against anyone or nation that seeks the things which
he secretly hates- peace, love, freedom, salvation, eternal life and the
likes. However, the former angelic guardian did not understand that there
is another way to receiving the gifts of the kingdom apart from mere
obedience to the dictates of the law. So he concentrated all his effort on
preventing all men, no matter how holy or careful, from being free from
the guilt of the law. He must have reasoned that since the only way to
receiving the reward was if one was free from guilt, then no one will ever
succeed as long as he perpetually brought unending accusations against
him or her in legal matters. Being the master of condemnation, he
therefore made sure none was free from guilt.
The accuser of the brethren made sure none was guiltless. Therefore, no
one could be justified by the old law or receive eternal life thereby. Even
Moses could not be justified by the law. But the devil did not understand
that God had a better plan. This plan was kept secrete so that the
foolishness of the law may be revealed at the appointed time. God had a
53
joker; another way and infact the only true way to receiving eternal life-
THE WAY OF FAITH AND LOVE.
Oh, how foolish the devil was! If he had known, he wouldn’t have given
himself so much to religious violence to the point that he even crucified
the Lord of glory by unjustly bringing up charges against him in matters of
the law of Moses. The devil does not know all things. Infact, when we
compare the things he knows with the great things we now know in Christ
Jesus, we would see that he is worth being called foolish, and we are wise
enough to teach him.
Under his nose, patriarchs of old were batching the gifts of the kingdom,
but he didn’t understand how they were doing it. This was because these
people were getting it through faith and love, but all he could understand
was the way of religion and violence. He had tried to stop them by making
them guilty of the law, yet they got eternal life anyway. Even many years
before Christ came to announce the way of faith to all men; these people
saw beyond their time and walked in it. This way was invisible to the devil,
so he could not stop them and they were therefore able to accomplish
great and mighty things in their time. They even stopped the threats of
death and escaped the consequences of the law. Mountains skipped at the
sound of their voice and great armies were put to flight. The devil
marveled at their exploits, as they were not doing these things through
the law, but through some other ways that he could not understand. Look
at what the scriptures have to say about some of these men of faith;
54
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that

had received the promises offered up his only begotten son; Of
whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting
that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from
whence also he received him in a figure. By faith Isaac blessed
Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he
was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped,
leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he died,
made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave
commandment concerning his bones… By faith Moses, when he was
born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was
a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years,
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather
to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto
the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is
invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of
blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By
faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho
fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith
the harlot Rehab perished not with them that believed not, when
she had received the spies with peace. And what shall I more say?
for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of
55
Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the

prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out
of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to
flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to
life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that
they might obtain a better resurrection:
(Hebrew 11:17-35)
They could not be stopped by the same things that the devil was using to
stop people of their generation. Lucifer wondered at their exploits but
could not understand them because the way of faith had not been publicly
proclaimed. If he had known this secret way of faith he would have tried
to stop them, but glory be to God who blindfolded the deceiver of men
and humiliated the master of law and condemnation(1 Cor 1:19-20).
When the appointed time came, God sent John the Baptist, the fore runner
of Christ, into the world. It was John who began to publicly announce that
the kingdom of God was coming through another way, and that it was
coming for EVERYONE. Look at what the scriptures say about John;
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same
came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men
through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
56
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into
the world.
(John 1:6-8)
This public proclamation exposed the secrete way of faith through which
the patriarchs walked. Nothing can be more offensive to the devil than a
public proclamation of God’s kingdom, and more painful was the fact that
it was even for all men. Now, this way of salvation was being made visible
and accessible to everyone in the world. Only few could see it before, but
now all men have the opportunity to see it. The devil also saw it for
the first time and was offended. All along, he had been looking for this
secret way of salvation which the prophets spoke about, so that he might
corrupt it as he did to the former one. When John appeared, the way of
faith suddenly became visible to the evil one, and the battle against the
kingdom started immediately.
All through the Old Testament, the kingdom of God and its gifts were
available. However, it was not as a matter of violence because there was
no enemy yet. When I say that there was no enemy, I do not mean that
there were no people who hated God’s kingdom and were against it. What
I mean is that God was still hiding it from the faces of the people (the devil
and his agents) who would have declared it an enemy. Until an enemy is
identified there can’t be war, therefore it was when the devil saw the
coming of God’s kingdom that he identified it as an enemy and began to
wage war against it. And this happened immediately John started to
announce it in the wilderness. As Christians seeking the gift of eternal life
through Jesus, I encourage you to get ready to fight the fight of faith.
57
Dear reader, I believe you are beginning to understand the issues that
surrounded the angelic era and how it was affecting the lives of men on
earth. I am sure that this chapter has opened your eyes in some ways.
Chapter Five
LUCIFER
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every

precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and
the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the
sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
58
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was

prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 28:13
In the days of old, before Christ’s coming and ascension, when Lucifer was
still ruling in the earth in his full strength and royal honor, there was no
one greater than him except the Lord his maker. He represented the Law
enforcer and of course no one could be greater than the law. He was a
means of punishment.
He was made an instrument of wrath, a destroyer and messenger of
death. The Lord set him in the place of higher honor than all His angels.
None of them could compare with him in any way. Even when Michael the
arch angel was disputing with him over the body of the great prophet
(Moses), he dared not come against him with railing accusations but could
only venture to say ‘the Lord rebuke you’(Jude 1:9).
The devil had been a great genius since the day the Lord created him. He
made him the wisest among all his counterparts (Gen 3:1). Though, he
always used this wisdom against the good purposes of the Lord, yet his
place in God’s eternal plan for mankind can not be revoked. This is
because it was in the personality of Lucifer that all the things which the
Father hates were clearly revealed. With this, it became easier to
understand the Father’s pleasures. Just as the Son represents every thing
that the Father loves so also did the devil represent everything that He
hates.
59
Many people think that it is being religious that makes them unlike the
devil. This is not true as there is really no one that can be as religious as
Lucifer, the old-time dragon. He stood in the presence of the Lord all his
life, yet his nature was very different from His. You can imagine how he
bows religiously in the Lord’s presence, kneeling down in worship while
reciting verses from the holy book (Job 1:6). No one could observe all
these rituals in a more spectacular way than Lucifer, yet he didn’t have a
change of heart to show for it.
He was a religious warrior, murderer and militant who broke the law of
love and peace in the name of perpetuating religion. Many still worship
him today. In history, their most respected leaders still remain warring
prophets and not a sacrificial lamb who would rather give His life for the
sake of peace. The character of the devil is most perfectly elucidated in
religions that lack a sacrificial lamb as its most valued character.
The gospel is a real story because it is not just an idea that came down
from heaven by the hand of an angel and was received by a prophet
isolated in a particular cave. No! ’Prophets’ surround the receipt of
revelation by mysteries in order to enslave their fellow man. The gospel of
Christ was not a one-generation-one-person affair, but an eternal plan
with a story line in which many real actors have acted their parts
according to the Father’s master plan.
Many generations played their parts in the story line and countless
characters were staged. From Adam to Christ there were many
generations and privileged characters like Abel, Seth, Noah, Abraham,
60
Isaac, Israel, Moses, Elijah, David and so on. Different people at different
places wrote about their experiences in their own life times as they saw
the advancement of the gospel story. And when Jesus eventually came,
just as He was there in the beginning of the story, He also came to end it
in a grand style. It is a complete story which we now share with the entire
world.
The gospel story does not only involve many characters and generations
but also have many angles to it. It is a many-sided story with perfect
harmony between every part. Because this book is on Christian warfare, I
have literally jumped many things in the story line so that I can quickly
get to where the battle is. I mean the action parts. If you have been
following the account so far, you would note that I have now gotten to the
character named Lucifer.
After the Lord created Lucifer, He anointed him as the mighty angelic
guardian (Ezekiel 28:14). He was such a beautiful creature! Out of all the
things that the Lord made, no one had a more glorious appearance than
he did. He was so powerful that he could not be counted as one of the
conventional angels. Though he was created by the Lord and dwelt in
heaven, yet he was not within the arc of angels. No, Lucifer did not belong
to the normal assembly of the gods; he stood out distinctively in glory and
honor. He was a god even among the gods- a creature full of wisdom,
exquisite in beauty, and endowed with unfathomable powers (Ezekiel
28:12).
61
Lucifer was created to show forth the righteous judgments of the Lord. He
was created so that through him the Lord can show His love for fairness,
justice and equity. With a creature like Lucifer representing the law
enforcement officer, no one was un-punishable; not even Michael, the
arch angel. No creature both in heaven and on earth could confront him.
However, instead of showing forth God’s fair judgments, he unjustly
accused the people and perverted the way of justice.
Everyone feared the king of Tyre (Lucifer); he was the last person
anybody ever wanted to see. The Lord made him greater and more
powerful than all other creatures He had made, so that through him
everyone could be punished no matter how highly placed. In heaven, he
was indeed the mighty angelic guardian. The fierce look on his face alone
was enough to keep the angels from sinning. His glorious power was
unequalled and no one could possibly imagine standing against him in
battle.
The king of Tyre was such a magnificent man! He had such an inexplicably
great privilege before God that he even seemed to share in the glory that
belonged to the Lord almighty alone. HE WAS ALLOWED TO WALK
FREELY AMONG THE STONES OF FIRE- a place where only the Lord was
reputed to walk (Ezekiel 28:12).
When the Almighty descended in His fierce anger in the midst of fire,
smoke, thunder and thick darkness upon mount Sinai, not even a fly could
come near the mountain of God’s wrath(Exodus 20:18-20). The great
indignation of the Lord burned dangerously against the Israelites from the
62
midst of mount Horeb when the Lord descended in the fullness of the Holy
Spirit. The earth trembled, there was thick darkness, the sun could not
give its light and the moon was no where to be found on that great day of
the Lord. No one could even dare to look up at the mountain to see this
terrible sight. Everyone fled to his tent and even in their hiding place they
could not bear the sound of the terrible voice that spoke to them. Even
the angels of God moved back in terror. Don’t forget that Moses was as
one of the angels who spoke with the Lord face to face. But, that day, the
great prophet himself was trembling with fear and no one dared to cross
the boundary to Mount Sinai (Hebrew 12:18-21).
However, there was one creature that was so powerful that his throne was
actually in the midst of the stones of fire. As hot as the stone was on that
great day at Mount Sinai, he could walk freely and happily in it (Ezekiel
28:14). One would even think that it was the fire of the Holy Ghost that
was burning on the mount that day, but it was not. The fire of the Spirit is
not a physical fire but a spiritual one just as we now know it today. The
fire that was actually burning was the fire of Lucifer, the god of fire. The
thunder that was striking was also from him. However, it was God’s voice
that the people heard (Exodus 20:1).
The honor of staying in the fire of God’s refining wrath belonged to Lucifer
ALONE in the days before his great fall. However, unlike his maker, his
interest was not in refining those whom He punishes but in destroying
them. The king of Tyre rejoiced each time God’s anger burned against His
people, Israel. It was the only opportunity he had to carry out his evil
sentence on them. He loved a situation of ‘no mercy’, mass slaughter and
63
destruction. He had such a strong affinity for fire, smoke, thunder, blood
and thick darkness.
The desire of his heart at all times was to see God’s anger burn against
His chosen people. He was the most highly placed and sacred creature in
the religious system of the Old Testament, yet he had the most wicked
heart and deceptive spirit. Though Lucifer, the mighty angelic guardian
had the singular honor of walking in the midst of the stones of fire with
the Lord Himself, his nature was very different from His.
Tyre’s king was an integral part of the process of God’s wrath and
vengeance. The devil enjoyed the reputation of being counted as part of
God’s refining fire. This is the fire of God’s merciful wrath with which He
purged His chosen ones from sin and stubbornness in order to make them
perfect, holy and acceptable in the sight of God. The Lord’s intention for
punishing Israel was not to destroy her, but to discipline her as a loving
father disciplines his beloved child.
Though, Lucifer was part of this refining fire, his intentions and desires
were different from the Lord’s. He did not care about that laudable, holy
and merciful purpose of the Lord’s punishments. All he was after was an
opportunity to kill, steal and destroy the precious souls of those whom the
Father loves (John 10:10). The heart of the king of Babylon was not right
with God. He didn’t care about the things that are consistent with the
merciful, loving nature of the Lord. Though, he had a very high reputation
in heaven and on earth, he was such a vile creature due to the condition
of his heart.
64
Judging by how evil the devil was, one would expect that the Lord should
have destroyed him long ago. But the Lord did not; rather he continued to
be patient with him. The Lord had always seen the wickedness of his
heart, but the world could not see a person’s heart. Everyone in heaven
and on earth actually thought Lucifer was really doing the Lord’s will when
he was destroying the nations of the world. They could not see into his
heart, but the Lord did.
The entire world needed to also see the evil in Lucifer’s heart before he
could be punished. If the Lord should punish him without first making his
sins obvious, other angels may become nervous and insecure. They may
loose faith in His faithfulness, because they would think He destroyed him
just because He no longer needed his ministry. Some of them would
reason that if the Lord could discard Lucifer then He would surely discard
them also. Therefore, the Lord needed to show to the entire world that he
was destroying him because his heart was contrary and at enmity with
Him.
It was for this reason that the Lord continued to patiently sharpen the
instrument of wrath in preparation for that great day of wrath when the
destroyer himself shall be destroyed. According to the Father’s will, the
Lord was not given to save or bring back Lucifer; He was only waiting for
the right time to come so He could topple his kingdom once and for all.
The Lord made Lucifer a very wise and subtle creature because of the role
he must play in God’s refining fire. This role was that of a progress
65
monitor and quality checker. Apart from this, he was also called to bring
those sheep who wander off back to the fold. All these things are what the
Holy Spirit now does in the most loving way.
However, Lucifer did not do any of these faithfully but only pretended to.
The Lord allowed him to go and see if the nation of Israel whom He had
chosen are doing all the things He commanded them to do. But all he
usually did was to go back to the Lord with evil reports and unending
accusations against the brethren. No amount of obedience could ever
satisfy him. The Lord only wanted him to go and test them by using his
great wisdom to see if they really understood the words that He spoke to
them. But instead, he tempted them and caused God’s people to fall into
condemnation, so that he could have evil reports to send back.
The role of Lucifer was the role of the law, which was to make sin known
to those who were concerned. The Lord did not need any creature to be
able to know if there was sin in the hearts of His people. However, He
needed those He wanted to correct to see their sins by themselves. Not
only the sinner, but also every other witness in heaven and on earth.
Lucifer was given the task of making sin obviously visible. The plan was
that when the sins in the hearts of God’s people have been made
observable to the offender himself and to all witnesses, then the Lord
would have the opportunity of correcting and teaching whoever is affected
in a more rewarding way. Others would also have the opportunity of
learning from him, just as we are now learning from the characters in the
66
scriptures. When the offender does not even know that he has sin in his
heart, how would one be able to correct him or help others?
Whenever the Lord gives an instruction or promise to His people, He

allowed the devil to go and try their faith to see and reveal whether they
really understood His words or believed in His promises. His work was to
show the extent to which Israel was committed to her God in an
observable way. He was to test them and not to tempt them. His work
would reveal whether the will of the Father is being replicated in the
minds and life style of His people. The will of the Lord was that His people
should love God with all their heart, mind and strength. The Lord also
wanted them to love their neighbors as they loved themselves. It was all
about replicating the Father’s key character in them- love. Lucifer was
chosen to reveal to all witnesses if these were true of the Israelites.
Israel was very religious and especially good on the outside. Only a very
hot refining fire could expose the true quality of her faith. The devil was
an ideal tool for this work. He was allowed to try Israel’s faith vehemently
until the evil (sin) that was lurked up under their vain religiosity was
exposed. If the Lord had unleashed His punishment on them before the
sins in their hearts were exposed or before they had failed His tests, Israel
would have named the Lord an unjust God. They would have pointed to
their vain religiosity as proof of their innocence.
However, the accuser of the brethren would not let sin remain hidden and
unpunishable. The devil was the great instrument of sin revelation.
Through his unbeatable wisdom, he subjected Israel to great trials of
67
deception until their sins became so much that their open religious
ostentations could no longer hide them. The serpent deceived the people
of God to the point that their sins became so obvious and especially sinful
that even they themselves could no longer claim innocence or deny being
guilty of death.
This was one reason why when the devil was still in the place of high
honor among the stones of God’s refining fire, one can also call him ‘a
stumbling stone’ or ‘rock of offence’- a title which belonged to the Lord
alone. The reason why Lucifer seems to be sharing names with the Lord
was because of the position he had with Him in the Old Testament before
his fall. He shared those names with Him because he was the only one
who was allowed to share the same position with Him among the stones
of fire.
Another role which the devil was meant to play was the role of bringing
back the lost sheep. This became necessary when the children of God
refused to heed to corrections after their sins have been exposed.
Though, most times Israel would not have been stubborn if not that
Lucifer over did his work. The Lord’s intention for subjecting His people to
wise tests was to make them learn from their mistakes and become
better. His plan was to expose hidden evil motives, iniquities and unbelief
which they might not even be aware of, so that He could then have the
opportunity of correcting them. God’s desire was for Israel to become
perfect someday, but the devil wanted to destroy them totally. After he
made their sins obvious, he still went ahead to harden their hearts so that
they would not heed to corrections. The Lord saw this evil in Lucifer’s
68
heart but He continued to tolerate him because He actually wanted to

bring up a nation that would not be ignorant of his devices but one that
would be wise enough to outwit him.
After Israel have been deceived by the dragon and their sins have become
obviously offensive, the Lord would send His prophets to them to see if
they would be sorry for their sins and repent. But the devil further
hardened their hearts and made them to kill God’s messengers and defile
His alter with human blood. The people of Israel suffer greatly from the
hands of the deceiver. They rejected the laws of the Lord and regarded
His messengers as fools. They disdained the Holy One Himself and likened
the Lord of heaven’s army to lifeless gods of the earth. They even
represented Jehovah with graven images of bulls, birds, calves and
different kinds of creeping things. The people of God rejected His
righteous authority over them but went lusting after other gods.
Therefore, because they would not repent and turn from their wicked
ways, the Lord also resorted to using the fire of His wrath to bring them
back to Himself. At this instance, what He did was to turn His back on
them for a little while. When this happened, the king of Tyre became
happy and quickly rushed into the camp of the Israelites to destroy them
in countless numbers. The way he devastated the people of God whom
the Father loves shows that he was actually interested in wiping them out
completely. Even after the Lord had stayed his hand, the king of Babylon
still took those who were left away into captivity in his own land, where he
subjected them to hard labor and rigorous torture.
69
There in captivity, he tried to erase the knowledge of God from their

memories. He forced them to learn his ways and live by his customs. The
king of Babylon secretly wanted to receive the worship that belongs to the
Lord, so he forced them to worship him and his image while they were in
captivity in his land. If any one of the Israelites tried to remember the God
of Israel or speak of Him to his fellow prisoners, the king of Tyre quickly
ordered that he should be killed. The pain and anguish in Babylon was
great; much greater than Israel could bear.
While Israel suffered in captivity in the hands of the king of Babylon, they
were forced to remember how good the Lord was to them in the days
before they sinned. Therefore, they cried out to God in their pains and
repented of their sins after they had learnt their lessons in the hard way.
The fire of God’s wrath through the hand of the king of Tyre made Israel to
confess her sins and become converted. At this point, their eyes were
opened and their unbelief was taken away so that they saw the Light of
Israel once again and began to walk in His ways.
Therefore, the merciful God, who had always been waiting for this
moment of repentance to come, welcomed them back with opened arms
of love. The Lord came back to His people, rebuked the devourer on their
behalf, took them back to their own lands and began to govern them once
again in peace, prosperity and righteousness. When they returned, they
became better servants of God. Their hearts became more humble
because of the tough lessons they had just learnt in Babylon. They
worshipped the Lord with true faith and deep appreciation. Each one of
70
them renewed covenants of love and obedience to God and the Lord loved
them even more.
The refining fire of God’s wrath produced a more deeply rooted

righteousness into the lives of the Israelites. Therefore, the devil who
revealed their sins through deception and who punished them in Babylon
became renowned as Lucifer, the light bringer. He was also called ‘the son
of the morning’ because it was through his destructive acts that light was
restored back to the hearts of the Israelites so that their eyes could
become opened to see their God. These names are just the same with
what we currently know Christ to bear, but I believe you now understand
why.
Lucifer enjoyed that he was actually sharing names with the Lord. One of
Christ’s titles he loved most was ‘the Morning Star’. If you look around you
carefully you will see how much he loves this title. The ’morning star’
represents a great star that chases out the moon of the night to usher in
the brightness of the morning. This title can only be conferred on the two
personalities who were powerful enough to stay in the midst of the stones
of fire. These two persons were the Lord, the creator of the universe
Himself and Lucifer His rebellious servant.
Jesus, the Lord Himself, is the true and faithful Day Star. Though Lucifer
shared this name with Him in the Old Testament, he was very different
from Him. Lucifer was that ’day star’ that rises with death, pain, sorrow,
plague and woes, but Christ is the ’Day Star’ that arises with healing in His
wings.
71
In those Old Testament days, the devil had great honor both in heaven
and on earth. When no other thing seemed to work, Lucifer was all that
was needed to bring back righteousness into the camp of the erring nation
of Israel. The king of Tyre was created with every item that was required
to humble the hearts of God’s people. His destructive acts were just too
terrifying for the stubbornness or their hearts to resist. In the days of the
old covenant, the Lord used Lucifer, the commander-in-chief of the
Chaldean army to bring back righteousness in the Land of Israel. He was
all that was required. He was the model of perfection. Everything needed
to bring finishing touches to the issues of perfection was him.
During the era of the Old Testament, God used Lucifer, the king of
Babylon to correct and bring back His people any time they erred.
However, the Lord was not very pleased with this system of perfection.
Instead of using the instrument of violence to bring His sheep back, He
longed for a future time when the Holy Spirit would be given and He
would then be able to use the instrument of love to restore His people
once and for all. The only begotten of the Father longed for a future time
in which His people would no longer need to stray away from His love. He
didn’t like the way the destroyer was treating them and the rest of the
world. However, the Old Testament was everything that was in existence
at the time and Lucifer remained the best option available.
Chapter Six
THE HORNS OF DECEPTION

72
And there appeared another wonder in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads.
Revelations 12:3
In the prophecy of Ezekiel, in chapter 28, God’s servant was asked to

prophesy against two great men. One was the king of Tyre (Eze 28:11)
and the other was his prince (verse1). Tyre is the same as Babylon. The
devil (the old time dragon) is the king of Tyre and the beast is his prince.
This wicked king is the devil who has been deceiving the whole earth
since the time of the beginning in Eden (verse 13) and his prince is the
anti-Christ who was prophesied to come in the days of the end.
The dragon and the beast have many features in common and one of
them is their horns. These horns are what they use to deceive their enemy
until they lead him or her into condemnation. The horns represent the
great wisdom of these creatures. They can also be captured as puzzles
with which they floor their enemy. These puzzles have been designed in
such a way that they easily force the unwatchful believer to compromise
his or her stand in God’s words. I have therefore named them ‘’the horns
of deception’’.
The horns of deception the beast is using against the world today also
belonged to the dragon of old. These horns were the same puzzles that
the dragon used to deceive Eve, until the first men missed the mark and
73
thereby brought sin and condemnation into the world. God knew they
wouldn’t die physically if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. He knew they would die spiritually, and that was the way he
wanted them to also see things. The Lord wanted them to think spiritual,
see things in the spiritual way and respond to issues as such. This was the
mark, but they missed it. They sinned.
The devil pointed his horns of deception at them and they were forced to
step down from the exalted grounds of true faith unto the sinking sand.
This is the true meaning of missing the mark or sin. Real sin is not mere
failure to satisfy the requirements of a written code, but real sin is
spiritual. It is compromising one’s stand as a believer. The question the
devil asked them was simply to make them reason as a man instead of
reasoning the way the Lord did when He spoke to them. The devil did not
really deceive them through some complex wise sayings; he simply asked
them a question (a puzzle). Put in another way, he simply pointed the
horn of deception at them. But as I mentioned earlier, these horns have
been carefully designed to make a believer step down from the grounds of
faith.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which
the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath
God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
74
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:1-5
All that the devil needed to do was point the horns at the first men, and
the magic happened- they fell. The sinking sand was the carnal perception
of God’s words which the puzzle of the serpent forced Eve to have. She
lost sight of spiritual death and began to think of physical death alone.
When there was no physical prove that the fruit contained any poison that
could kill the body, the devil was able to deceive her into assuming that
the Lord did not really mean what He had said about eating from the tree.
She had become blind to the spiritual consequences that should follow if
she should disobey. All she could see now was a doubtable physical
consequence.
This carnal mindedness is what leads to sin and which ultimately leads to
death. There is no way one can prevent death from coming upon a carnal
minded person who walks after the dictates of the flesh. Even when you
are explaining spiritual matters to him, he still can not just understand.
Except his mind is changed through a spiritual re-birth, a man walking
according to human reasoning would naturally end up in hell.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14
75
Dear believer, don’t forget that real sin is carnal mindedness which is a
direct fruit of unbelief. It is not an action but a state of mind.
When the devil is using his horns effectively against a believer or any
other person, the effect is that he is estranged from God. Such a person
would not be able to understand who God is or what He means by his
words. He cannot reason like Him. He is simply like a slave who does not
understand the matters of the kingdom. No matter how beautiful a cloth
you put on a slave, he would continue to be a slave because of his
mindset. So it is with carnal minded men, they would forever be separate
from God except they repent of carnality and take hold of God’s ways.
Eventhough a man who walks after the flesh really wants to please God
and meet up with the righteous requirements of the law, he incurably
continues to miss the mark. He is a stench in the Lords nostrils. His mind
is seriously marred as his reasoning is grossly infected with unbelief.
Eventhough, he tries to be good with all his might, he would still be far
from God and unable to find his love. In the futility of his efforts, he is then
forced to assume that the true God is actually supposed to be far from
him, but close to some special few ones.
The devil made the children of Israel to live a defeated life of sin, by using
his horns against them. Because of this, majority of them missed the mark
and were destroyed in countless numbers due of their unbelief while in
the wilderness of sin. The horns of the dragon made them unable to
understand the laws of the Lord in its real spiritual perspective. As a
76
result, their minds became estranged from God and because of their canal
mindedness they became perpetually bound to sin and death. The devil
made them spiritually useless with nothing valuable left within hearts to
be salvaged for any worth. Their minds were darkened by sensuality.
Israel was as smoke in His nostrils, and a pain in his neck. She could not
learn with her heart, see with her eyes, hear with her ears or even
understand anything He says. After several futile attempts to bring her
back, the Lord was forced to conclude that Israel of old was a stiff necked
people; a nation that continually aroused his anger. And if not for his
promise to Abraham, He would have simply wiped her out during one of
his fuss with her.
If you study the scriptures well enough you will discover some of the horns
of the dragon with which he destroyed the nation of Israel. These puzzles
can be best captured as questions. These questions come with subtle
suggestions that weaken faith in God’s words. The greatest puzzle that
enslaved Israel and is still enslaving them until today is the puzzle that
asks; is the Lord truly God? As simple as this question is, it has a very
dangerous suggestion behind it. It is the most dangerous horn of the Old
Testament dragon king.
This is because the people rightly believed that the true God is suppose to
be so powerful that if any man should see Him, he would simply burn to
ashes. It was a general consensus among the Jews that no man should
see God and live. So they had the natural tendency to doubt the validity
of the Lord who talks to Moses face to face and calls Himself God. So you
77
now understand that the devil was not pointing that particular horn of
deception at them for nothing.
If the horn prospers, it means they would no longer need to take the Lord
so serious as Moses is trying to make them do. They just need to
recognize that he is a powerful person, one of the great prophets, a law
giver, and good teacher. They even appreciate His peculiarity as a
prophet who seem to have greater power than all the others. A man who
performs mighty, unbelievable miracles such as exercising authority over
the seas, raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out devils and making
food to appear from no where. Israelites of old even admit that he is such
a peculiar prophet who doesn’t seem to have a known father and whose
house they have not yet discovered in any part of the country. He simply
appears to his own this moment and disappears at the next. And each
moment just before he disappears, he would usually promise that he is
coming back soon. And interestingly he does! He even tells his servants to
wait for him at particular places and before you know it, He is there.
Funny, isn’t it? You can not possibly trace his foot steps to know how he
arrived there or the path he had followed. For instance, how can one trace
the path a baby boy followed into the womb of a virgin without artificial
insemination? Or how can someone explain how a full grown man would
rise up into the sky until he is seen no more, without being attached to a
balloon? He comes in mysterious ways from an unknown spiritual home
and returns in the same way to that same invisible abode, yet he always
returns. His ways are so unsearchable. What a Man he is!
78
When we sample people’s opinion even in this twenty first century, we

would find out how this horn of the old dragon is still prospering in the
world. Most unbelievers actually believe that Jesus was a very fine man
and good teacher who did wonderful things. But they just don’t think they
should be bothered or interested in Him the way the gospel suggests.
They don’t think they need to obey His teachings. They believe this would
mean taking Him too serious.
The people of Israel observed all these wonderful attributes of the Lord
who continually proved Himself to be God. But on the other hand, the
devil pointed his horn of deception at them. So, they began to wonder in
doubt, if truly He is God as He said He was. Though He acts in unusually
great manners and seems to be capable of doing all things, he doesn’t
look like God to them. He was just like a man- he smiled, laughed, singed,
ate, got angry, wore cloths, was hurt and even cried. At the same time, he
spoke with great authority and his words seem to carry unfathomable
power. But can he really be God? The horns continued to torment their
reasoning.
Israel could not believe how one who is God could possibly be so close in
nature to man that he could even sit on the same stone with him and
speak with him face to face like a man speaking with his friend. However,
these people do not understand that it was for their sakes that he was
robbed of that glory that they were looking for in him. It was for our sakes
that he was stripped of that glorious appearance that would have made it
impossible for a mortal man to see him and live. The Father had slain him
before the foundations of the worlds were laid. He stripped him of the
79
glory he had with him before the worlds were framed, so that he can be
approachable to mortal man. For the sake of his beloved, the Lord took
up the form of a mere man so that he might be able to freely relate the
will of the Father to his people and in a form they could understand.
However, they were deceived by the horns of the dragon. So, they judged
the Lord according to his physical appearance. Their minds became so
carnal that they could no longer see him in his spiritual form as God, but
could only see him in his physical form as man. They therefore took the
Lord of glory for granted and ridiculed him in the sight of their lifeless
gods. They carried his name to round tables of scornful men and there
they washed him down with humiliating words. This horn of deception was
really wrecking havoc in their camp. Israel was robbed of the ability to see
her God, because as long as she had carnal eyes, all she could see
whenever she beheld Him was a man.
However, as the brand new spiritual Jews we have been re-created with
spiritual eyes. With the new birth we are able to see beyond the man
Jesus. With eyes of faith, the regenerated soul is able to see the fullness
of God’s nature dwelling in Him and know that He is truly God.
But for those who ridiculed and continue to ridicule him, He would surely
return for a pay back. Since they humiliated Him because He was not
carrying the form of the incredible, impossible-to-behold God, he would
therefore return in the very form in which they expected to see him. And
according to their expectations he shall come to them on that great day of
his wrath, and they shall all become as ashes before him.
80
I would not try to point out all the horns of the dragon and the beast in
this book. Rather, I would be satisfied if I am able to give us the idea of
what the horns look like so that we can find out the rest of them
ourselves. Ofcourse, they are not difficult to unravel. For example, you
would easily find the horn of the dragon that poses the puzzle that asks;
why do the righteous suffer and the wicked are spared? If you are an
average student of the scriptures, you would know how greatly this puzzle
troubled the people of the Old Testament. It is not difficult to also find the
underlying threat in this puzzle. It is easy. If the righteous suffer, then why
struggle so hard to be? Is this not a logical way to reason? A carnal man
would naturally reason like this and end up in hell. Try to analyze this
puzzle in a more elaborate way as I did for the horn asking if the Lord is
truly God. Find out any other horn from scriptures and try to do the same
to it, using scriptures as the analytical tool.
Chapter Seven
A BRAND NEW ISRAEL
81
Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such

things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion
travailed, she brought forth her children.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her…
That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts
of her consolations.
Isaiah 66:8-11
What brought about the New Testament was the fact that the old one
became faulty. And it was not just because it was faulted but because it
was actually ‘faultable’. The real issue was the fact that the old law was
corruptible. The element of corruption that existed within the law was no
other person but Lucifer. He spread the corruption in his heart all over the
system until the entire old covenant became corrupt and disgusting. The
whole structure itself became so awful and nauseating that the Lord set
Himself in readiness to discard it.
The Lord did not try to repair the old ways rather He discarded it totally.
The issue was not that the system on the holy mountain had been
corrupted by Lucifer and his ‘evil children’. No, the real issue was that the
system itself was porous, weak and corruptible. It was for this reason that
Christ became tired of the old covenant and began to move towards
establishing a better one.
82
The Lord was not satisfied with the system of the Old Testament. He
didn’t like the system of justice which was strictly dependent on physically
observable sin. He was also tired of the carnal way of worship. The Lord
no longer derived any pleasure from the smell of incense, burning flesh of
animals and the hypocrisies that had surrounded the temple worship. The
system was really porous and Lucifer was taking advantage of this weedy
structure to perpetuate his own evil intentions. The Lord hated the way he
was treating His people, so He decided to end their suffering by ushering
in an entirely new plan.
This new plan, as represented by the new covenant, was able to expose
Lucifer’s sin himself, thereby making him punishable. It ended his corrupt
ministry such that his role as the enforcer of the law was no longer
needed. The new system was also be able to provide the only means of
escaping unjust accusations in matters of the law that forced unnecessary
condemnation and dead sentences on God’s people in the old testament.
And ultimately, this new covenant was able to provide a perfect
replacement for Lucifer.
The solution to Israel’s predicament in the hands of Lucifer was nothing

but that the Holy Spirit should be given. Therefore, it became unavoidably
necessary for the Lord, the only begotten of the Father who rules the
universe from His seat in heaven, to reveal the greatest secret of all ages
to creation. This secret was the fact that the Father will make man perfect
without the assistance of the law or any written code. The secret was the
revelation of the Father. The Lord needed to show the One God to the
83
world, who would rather give His Holy Spirit (the spirit of holiness) instead
of corruptible laws.
The Father is that Eternal Spirit who dwells in the Heaven above all
heavens that any creature has ever seen. He is the All-sufficient, All-
powerful, Immortal, Invincible Spirit who does not need the
backing of any created thing to make His people perfect. The idea
is that if the Son can present Israel to the Father and make them His own,
the Almighty would make them faultless without any need for Lucifer.
Infact, He would destroy the destroyer for their sakes. However, no one
else knew the Father in heaven and in the entire world except His Son
whom He had sent before the world began.
No one knew the Father. None of the angels had ever seen Him or been to
His dwelling place. Only the Son knew Him well enough to be able to
reveal Him to the world. With the desire to have the world experience the
Father’s love, the Son set Himself in readiness to go and reveal Him to
humanity.
When the right time came, the Lord left His glorious throne in the
assembly of the gods to come down to earth. Then, on the streets of
Jerusalem, He began to testify about the Father, His Holy Spirit and
Judgment. The plan was that when the Father has been revealed, He
would give His Spirit to those who ask of Him and the destroyer would lost
his authority over the lives of God’s people. This would culminate in the
end of Lucifer’s tyranny over those who have become the Father’s
possession.
84
The devil was a blameless creature despite the wrath he unleashed upon
the nations. This was because everything he ever did was within the
jurisdiction of his calling. Though, he continuously overexerted his powers,
he did only the things he had the authority to do and did not disobey the
Lord’s instruction at any time. But he cunningly overdid his works.
Eventhough his intentions were all evil, he did not over-step his
boundaries. He had the most evil heart compare to all other creatures, yet
he was also the most careful in conduct. Except you see his heart you can
never imagine that he was not the purest of all creatures.
Lucifer continuously brought unending accusations against peoples and

nations, so that the Lord may grant him permission to go and destroy
them, but he never went on his own volition. The Lord really wanted to
expose the evil intentions of his heart so that He may punish him for his
secret sins, but His plan for him was not ripe for execution. If the Lord had
destroyed Satan before his sins were exposed, the angels would wonder
why, because they couldn’t see his heart. So, he remained blameless as
he did not miss the mark in his conduct until the prophecy of his fall was
ready to be fulfilled. However, he had always missed the mark in his
thoughts and intentions since the time of the beginning in Eden.
The era of fulfillment of the prophesy finally came when the Lord of the
heaven’s army left His throne among the gods to come down to earth in
order to reveal the Father to His people, Israel. The Lord was the only one
in the world who could monitor or control Lucifer’s extremely fearful
85
activities. This was because none of the angels could withstand him in
power, glory and wisdom.
Therefore, once the Lord left the heavens to come down to earth, the
mighty angelic guardian was himself left without a guardian. So, he easily
went out of hands, as no one was there to control him. He sinned! And
what a pity, he sinned in the dispensation of the Father- at a time when
the judgment of the Almighty was being revealed to the world. Lucifer
sinned against the Ancient One who punishes with eternal fire; whose
punishments are not in a temporary hell but in an everlasting lake of
unimaginable fire. This had always been the plan of the Lord. His plan for
Lucifer was that of everlasting destruction. To whom much is given, much
is expected.
Despite the great wisdom that Lucifer had, he could not sense that an
unfathomable danger was looming over his soul when the Lord was
leaving the heavens to come down to earth. He failed to realize that he
would be very prone to sin if his guardian should leave. He believed so
much in his powers and vain righteousness that he paid no attention to
the evil in his heart. He didn’t also realize the fact that the times were
already changing and that sin in the dispensation that shall follow the
revelation of the Father would be punished with eternal verdict. Lucifer
was not only prone to sin but also to eternal punishment in the hands of
the Holy Spirit of the Father.
Of course, the king of Tyre was a very wise creature and should have
understood all these things, but his great wisdom was corrupted by his
86
love for power, riches, position and vain glory. When the lord was leaving,
all that Lucifer could see was an opportunity to rise up and take over His
throne. He had always nurtured the ambition of sitting in the seat of honor
to preside over the mountain of the gods. His pride made him to think he
would become unquestionable when the master is no longer in the house.
He thought of how every creature in heaven and earth revered him, so his
heart was lifted up within him. He considered in his heart that if he could
command so much respect in all the realms that were created, then
nothing would be able to stop him if he decides to ascend above the stars
of heaven to become as the Almighty. What a pity! The king of Tyre forgot
that he was only an instrument in the hands of the Lord.
At last, that moment of immeasurable grace came and Christ walked on

the streets of Israel testifying about the kingdom of the Father, His
judgments, His Holy Spirit and righteousness. The Lord had left the glory
which he had in heaven to come down to earth and Lucifer had already
taken over the affairs on the mountain. He treated the brethren in heaven
harshly, beating and subjecting them to needless torture. Though, the
Lord was on earth now, he knew the things that were going on in the
place He had left behind because the show of God’s omnipresence (the
Holy Spirit) was with him. Through the Spirit the Son knew all things.
Sometimes, He told his audience about the activities of Lucifer in heaven
and the judgment He shall subject him to when He returns. He said all
these things in parables. At least, that was how they sounded.
While all these were happening in heaven, the Lord carried on His work of
revealing the Father to His people on earth. During this period, He began
87
to show the people that the Father could actually give them His Holiness
so that they would no longer need to depend on obedience to an
insatiable law. He also pointed their attention to the fall of Lucifer and the
establishment of a new order. These revelations changed everything the
world had ever been used to. Now Israel was beginning to understand that
there is One, who is the Most High, who is able to end their spiritual
misery and sorrows by giving them His Spirit.
All along, the devil brought endless accusations against Israel in matters
pertaining to the written law and physical conducts. He was able to do this
because the people had not yet known their God to be Spirit. In the Old
Testament, the people of God saw the Lord physically. They heard His
voice with their ears and responded back to Him in the same ‘carnal
ways’. He spoke to them from physical mountains and appeared to them
in their synagogues. The Lord even ate with them and they saw Him
wearing cloths as they did.
In those days, everything about God and worship was very physical to the
Jews. His judgments were also physical- both his rewards and
punishments. Israel of old worshipped a God that could be seen, touched
and heard physically, so they were also required to worship Him as such-
on physical mountains, temples made by human hands and altars of
stone. Therefore, when they erred, their disobedience could also be
observed physically. So, the accuser of the brethren accused them bitterly
before the presence of the Lord until he was given the permission to carry
out his evil sentences on them.
88
When the right time came, Christ delivered His people from the one who
continually accused them, and from the wrath of the law which he
enforced. The Lord was able to do this by introducing the Eternal Spirit in
Heaven to His people. Israel was transformed the moment she came to
know the Father. This was the only way out of her protracted captivity to
the king of Tyre. The Father is Spirit and the only way to get to Him,
worship Him or please Him is also spiritual. This new order of worship
brought deliverance from the accuser who continually brought unending
accusations against Israel in matters of physical worship and observable
conduct.
Once the Father was revealed, everything about Israel’s worship, culture
and belief system became spiritual. Infact, the people became spiritual
themselves. Natives of Israel were no longer identified according to
earthly families, natural descent, blood line or physical appearance but by
a spiritual change of heart. Everything moved from physical to spiritual
once the Father was revealed.
The law itself became spiritual. Therefore, it became extremely good. And
more wonderful was the fact that it became incorruptible. The grip that
the old imperfect law of observable sin and death had over God’s people
was immediately annulled. The devil had never seen anything like this in
all his life. He became perplexed because there was no longer any
observable reason for accusation through which he may be granted
permission to destroy God’s people. His great wisdom was confused
for the first time. He looked around and could identify true Jews only by
their confessions of faith and uprightness and no more by looks. He
89
beckoned on his great wisdom so that he might bring up charges against

them, but it seemed the power of accusation which he formally wielded
was all gone. There was no longer any physically observable justifiable
reason by which he could condemn them to death as before. The way of
righteousness had become spiritual and could only be monitored
spiritually by the Eternal Spirit Himself.
To worsen Lucifer’s grief, people of the gentile nations also began to take
advantage of the salvation of Israel, and they were also being given the
Holy Spirit. The barrier that blood line once posed was taken out of the
way and salvation spread to the ends of the earth. Judgment was taken
far away from the understanding of the devil and his sorrow was greatly
increased. Everything had become spiritual and now God’s people were
no longer required to live by the flesh, written laws, physical codes of
conduct and open religiosity, BUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
At this point, the provision of the new covenant had become really
glorious but even as good as it was, something was still missing. The Lord
was still physical as He was yet to ascend up into Heaven. The Lord had
to become Spirit Himself, so that His physical presence would not
pose a barrier to the full manifestation of the new spiritual order.
Therefore, the Lord of the Old Testament, mediator of the new covenant
and Messiah of the world whom the Jews had always known was
transformed into Spirit. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the king of kings who spoke,
touched and ate with them on mountains, in their houses and synagogues
was changed into Spirit. With their very eyes, the disciples watched as
90
this transformation took place. Right before them in Galilee, Christ went
up into Heaven. He ascended and continued to ascend as they gazed at
Him. He went up and continued to go up until they could see Him no more
(Matthew 16:19).
What a glorious phenomenon to witness! The law giver was taken up into
the Highest, Invisible Heaven of the Father. The Lord of the heavens army
became Spirit. Therefore, the believers’ warfare and the weapons of war
also became spiritual. As the Law giver became Spirit so also did His law
become spiritual. Those who truly obey Him in this new era are therefore
those who treat His laws as spiritual and respond to them as such. This
was the event that perfected all of the dimensions in the scheme of the
new covenant. It is more glorious than what I can express in words. May
be I would be able to make you see it in a better way as I discuss the
heaven version of this event. What I am trying to say may not mean so
much to you as it means to me now. But the point here is that Christ
ascended to the Heaven above all heavens, far above angels,
principalities, powers, rulers, kingdoms and every other name that was
named. He rose up into Heaven to sit in the Seat of Highest Honor at the
right hand of the Father, far away from all observables or anything that
could be seen with the eyes. He was raised far beyond any mountain of
worship, synagogue, altar, culture, book, idea, imagination, scheme or
open religiosity. With this, He established everlasting authority and put
every created thing under Himself.
When the new spiritual order was finally established, the physical one was
abolished and Lucifer lost his grip over God’s people. The devil still has
91
power over people who still live by the flesh (carnal, observables) because
he would still have reasons to condemn them to death. But the new
spiritual family of Israel has been taken far from his reach. God’s
righteous people no longer needed the former angelic guardian as a
refiner or teacher because they now have One who is greater than him
who guards them peacefully and lovingly- the Holy Spirit of the
Father.
Before the presence of the Spirit, who is the new perfect Guardian Cherub,
the devil is just a listless, sacrilegious object of no repute. Though Lucifer
dwelt in the midst of the fire of the Lords wrath, he could not come near
the fire of the Father’s wrath which the Holy Spirit brought. It was such a
great humiliation for him. Satan was disgraced! He who once knew no fear
has now become fearful and restless. The mighty cherub that once took
pleasure in destroying God’s people now runs away apprehensively
whenever believers are approaching just because he is scared of the Holy
Spirit whom they carry in their bowels. The devil has finally lost authority.
He who was once the god of fire now runs away in trepidation from the
new form of fire- the Holy Ghost fire!
92
Chapter Eight
WAR IN HEAVEN
And there was war in heaven…

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him…
93
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and

by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their
lives unto the death.
Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them…
Revelations 12:7-12
When the Lord was ready to introduce the Father to the world and to
topple the kingdom of the devil, He didn’t start this great work in heaven
(the assembly of the gods) but He first came down to earth. This was
because the system of the Old Testament was still in effect and Christ had
to demonstrate the Father’s sacrifice of love under the terms of the old
covenant before the new can be established.
The Lord wanted to show the world that the Father’s loving sacrifice of
Him (His only begotten Son) was what made relationship with God
possible at all. He wanted to show that without this sacrifice, man can not
come near to God in righteousness or friendship. Without this sacrifice
which the Father performed in Heaven before the world was made, there
can not be remission of sin; imperfection can not take on perfection and
the corruptible would always remain corruptible.
Eventhough, this sacrifice had already been performed on behalf of all

nations even before the worlds were framed; Christ still needed to
perform it again under the terms of the old covenant. This sacrifice was
performed first in the Spirit Realm by the Father and now it is to be
performed in the physical realm so that those who live by sight and carnal
94
reasoning can also understand that the only begotten Son had been slain
for them when they see it with their physical eyes. The old covenant
makes people to understand only physical methods. It was for this reason
that Christ came to teach carnal Israel about the Father physically under
the terms the old covenant so that they might be able to understand.
If one should see the Lamb of God with his physical eyes, he would not be
able to find a proof that He had been slain. This is because it was a
spiritual slaying that could only be observed with spiritual eyes. Therefore,
a canal man would not be able to observe or even understand it. For an
unspiritual person, the proof that a man has been slain is if there is blood
on his body and he is lying down dead in a fixed position. But even though
the Lord who appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had been slain, He
still lives, speaks, moves and is worshiped forever more, Amen. A carnal
mind can not understand such a method, but only understands that
someone was slain when he sees blood on the person’s lifeless body.
Under the old covenant, the Lord allowed the people to perform this act of
sacrifice in anticipation of His coming. They used lambs to represent the
Lamb of God who was slain before the world was made. And when they
slew the lamb, they sprinkled its blood on the altar as prove that the
sacrifice had been performed. Until they did this, they could not come
close in worship. This is because in the carnal, old system of observables,
blood is the proof of sacrifice. Now, Christ was ready to teach the world
about the pain and victory of the Father’s sacrifice of love in a way that
she would be able to understand. That is, in a physically observable way.
95
There is no mortality in heaven. It is impossible for anyone to shed blood

there. This is because angels don’t die physical death like men and the
gods don’t bleed. A dead angel would continue to shudder in pain and
agony as he screams forever. This is the meaning of death in the real
spiritual sense. Death means curse, pain, sorrows and regrets that are
sealed up by hopelessness. A carnal mind cannot understand real death,
but this is what the Holy Spirit is warning the world about in this New
Testament era
Since physical slaying proved by blood is not possible in heaven, the Lord
had to come down to earth to perform the sacrifice in a physically
observable way in the sight of all witnesses in heaven and on earth. The
Lord had to come down to the realm where physical slaying with blood
evidence can be achieved. He who is the Father’s perfect sacrifice had to
take on the form of a lamb that could bleed and die a physical death.
He is God. It is not possible for Him to bleed or die, but He became a man
for the sake of teaching the world about the Father’s love and bringing her
into relationship with Him. The Word of God became flesh and dwelt
physically among men as the teacher and mediator of the new covenant,
and ultimately gave His life as the sacrifice for sin. And His blood became
the everlasting evidence that this sacrifice has been made- an instrument
of deliverance from sin and reconciliation with to God.
Another important reason why the Lord started destroying the works of
the devil on earth was because if He had started in heaven and casted
him down to earth before giving spiritual power and authority to man, the
96
result would have been disastrous. Lucifer would have simply come down
to earth in his rage and destroyed the entire nations.
Now, I have already given us tips of what happened on earth and how
salvation plan was carried out to completion for all men in the previous
chapter. Don’t forget that the angels were still suffering under the
rulership of Lucifer in heaven while the Lord was vindicating man on
earth. However, immediately Jesus the Lord perfected His work of saving
man, He moved straight to heaven to minister deliverance to the faithful
angels. Below is the account of what happened in heaven.
When the time came for the angels to be liberated from the messenger of
wrath, a great sign was witnessed in heaven. This sign that appeared in
heaven was telling the story which had already been concluded on earth
all over again. A glorious woman appeared in the sky that was pregnant
with a male child. This woman was just like Mary, the mother of Jesus. She
was carrying a special baby. According to prophesy, her unborn child was
destined to rule the entire nations with an iron rod of authority. Wise men
from the east had already come to announce the time that He must be
born. The hearts of God’s servants who were faithfully waiting for His
coming were filled with joy. Some of them had gone into the temple
praying and fasting in anticipation of His arrival. A lot had already been
spoken about this great King who was to be born. The angels could not
wait to see His deliverance (Rev 12:1-17).
Lucifer was the reigning king during this era in heaven, just as Herod was
during the time when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The burden that this
97
evil king was placing on the shoulders of God’s people had become
unbearable. God’s servants on the holy mountain were crying out to
Heaven for deliverance from his evil rule. Everyone was waiting for the
mighty deliverer to show up. The holy angels gazed at the pregnant virgin
with great joy and enthusiasm in their hearts. All they wanted to see was
the birth of the Child who was to come and bruise the head of the ancient
serpent. Of course, they were there when the Lord said this to Lucifer and
now they were about to witness the fulfillment of one of the greatest
events in prophesy.
However, Lucifer had also enquired about the birth of the Child with the
iron rod of authority. He asked his wise men about when and where the
Child should be born. After they had told him, he planed to be there
before the Child was born so that he might devour Him immediately He is
brought forth.
The devil was already planning to rise up to take over as the presiding
being in heaven, so he became angry with the unborn Child. He was
deceived by the greatness of the wisdom, beauty and power which the
Lord had given him. He no longer wanted to be subject to divine authority,
but desired to be like the most high Himself. He looked around at the
entire heavens and behold there was none that was as strong, rich, wise
and famous as he was. He felt that no one could possibly stop him if he
decides to kill the Child and remain in control of the angels. How sad!
Lucifer was deceived by his love for power and he eventually sinned. He
missed the mark and went out to war on his own volition. His heart was
filled with violence on a day of peace, as he sought to kill the innocent
98
virgin and her Child. In his sin, the dragon stationed himself before the
woman who was about to be delivered of the Man Child, with the intention
of devouring Him as soon as He was born.
Just as it was in Jerusalem when Herod sought to kill Jesus, the hearts of
the angels were also gripped with fear when they saw the evil intention of
the dragon. They became apprehensive about what should possibly be the
fate of the woman and her Child. There was nothing they could do to save
them. None of them could even think of confronting the angel of wrath.
Lucifer had never lost any battle since the day he was created, and it was
very difficult to imagine him loosing battle against a little baby. The
heavens quaked dangerously because the devil was angry. The Lord was
not there to stop him by the word of the Father’s authority, so the
situation was going out of hand. Well, that was how the situation
appeared.
Lucifer, the anointed cherub that covers roared in great anger and all the
angels ran into hiding. When there was nothing to appease his anger he
began to throw down the stars of heaven and to destroy the sacred
vessels on the mountain of holiness. The temple of worship which the Lord
cherished so much was now filled with fire, smoke and thick darkness by
reason of Lucifer’s rage. Thunder struck from every direction and a great
noise of war had replaced the shout of praises that was usually heard on
the mountain when the Lord ruled in it. It was as if the heavens were
about to crash down to earth on this day of election. The son of perdition
would not permit a free and fair deal at the pool. Rather, he resorted to
violence on the day of peace, when a new king was to be chosen.
99
Everyone fled from the pools. No one could withstand the wrath of the
destroyer.
The hearts of the faithful angels were filled with sorrow for the sake of the
Child and the woman. They had never experience such an evil plot on the
mountain of God all their lives. For the first time, they saw the sin which
the Lord had always seen in Lucifer’s heart. Now their eyes saw the extent
of his wickedness, and they understood what the Lord had always told
them. However, they still wondered if the dragon should be left to burn up
the mountain of God, kill the woman and the holy seed.
The hearts of the faithful angels burned with zeal as they longed to see
the Lord’s righteous judgments once again. When they saw how the
Lucifer was defiling God’s holy habitation and his planned treachery, their
hearts were filled with holy anger. The righteous servants of the Lord had
come to love the holy mountain with great passion. These special citizens
loved the country so much that they cried out to the Lord and wished they
could go out to make war against the offender. But who will dare to lead
the way of battle against the Leviathan? What a dire situation it was for
God’s angel on this fateful day! The seed of the woman who carried the
authority of the promised kingdom was about to be brought forth, but the
dragon was also waiting to destroy Him at birth.
In the midst of this seemingly hopeless situation, when everything

seemed to be working against them, the holy angels held on to the Lord’s
promise of deliverance and marched out from their hiding place in
readiness to fight as soon as the child was born. With their eyes laden
100
with tears, they encouraged themselves in the Lord as they drew out their
swords and mounted the chariots of fire in readiness to make war against
an enemy who was much greater than them and who they could not
possibly withstand.
It was as if they were racing to their own death when the holy angels
marched out against Lucifer on that great day of battle. But they no
longer cared about loosing their lives. They were ready to die at their post
while protecting the holy city.
The mountain of the gods was about to experience a bitter war which had
never taken place since the Lord created the heavens. Other unfaithful
angels gathered in support of the devil. No one could sit in the fence. The
destroyer had stationed himself in front of the woman while she continued
to groan in labour pains because her Child was just at the verge of being
brought forth. The temperature on the mountain had reached boiling point
as everyone waited for the Child to be born. Herod was waiting to destroy
Him while the holy angels wanted to witness His righteous reign. Everyone
had an expectation for the seed of the woman.
It finally happened! The event that everyone had been waiting for
eventually took place. The woman travailed and brought forth a Man-Child
who carried the power and great authority of the promised kingdom.
Lucifer rose in his fury and rushed to consume the new born King while
the faithful angels also moved to protect Him. However, the devil was
such a genius in the acts of war. He was faster and smarter than all the
angels put together. He got to the Child first and would have devoured
101
Him, but a great hand from Heaven rescued Him from the hands of the
destroyer. The hand snatched Him away before Lucifer could touch Him.
This event infuriated the devil even more, he roared angrily and like
Herod he began to look for someone to kill.
Meanwhile, the Child with the iron rod of authority was not only snatched
from the hands of the destroyer, but was also taken up unto the throne of
God. He was taken far above the reach of all created things including the
devil. Everyone watched as the Child was being taken up. All the holy
angels watched this event of great significance as it unfolded before their
very eyes. The Child who was being taken up carried the iron rod of the
authority of the promised kingdom which they have always longed to
partake of. This iron rod was still in His hand as He rose up to Heaven. All
the inhabitants of heaven watched as this Child took the rod far above
principalities and powers or any other thing that have been created or
named. Right before their watching eyes, the commander of the heavenly
host was transformed into Spirit. He ascended and continued to ascend as
they gazed at Him. He went up and continued to go up until they could
see Him no more.
What a glorious phenomenon to witness! The law giver was taken up into
the Highest, Invisible Heaven of the Father. The Lord of the heavens army
became Spirit. Therefore, the angelic warfare and the weapons of war also
became spiritual.
The battle approach changed immediately the holy angels saw this
transformation. Their old fashioned weapons of warfare in their hands
102
were no longer required in the battle that was before them. They knew
where to stand instantly if they must conquer the dragon. Without wasting
time, they quickly took their stand in the Heaven of the Father where the
War Lord and the iron rod of authority had ascended. So, the angels
looked up to Christ where He is seated in the place of Highest Honor, as
they marched out to make war against Lucifer. Their weapons against him
were no longer physical but spiritual. They came out against the leviathan
with weapons that could not be seen with the eyes but which are
conscientiously fashioned out in spirit, truth, undivided zeal and absolute
commitment to God. The brand new army of heaven under the new
covenant confronted the former angelic guardian without using any
observable spare, sword or shield, BUT BY FAITH.
Just as Herod did, when the dragon also saw that the Child had been
snatched out of his hands, his anger grew fiercer and his destructive acts
upon the mountain of God was greatly increased. However, the holy
angels would not permit him to do any further harm in the temple of
God’s holiness, so they threw the dust of battle at the face of the god of
war. What an act of faith! The tears of fear on their faces had been
replaced by a blazing fire.
The leviathan turned around and saw the troop of heaven’s army coming
up against him. He looked at them all, and the way they marched made
him to laugh at them in contempt. To him, they were like grasshoppers
trying to fight an elephant. Many of them were not even trained for war
yet they were coming against one who had been a warrior since the day
he was brought forth from the deep dark waters of mysteries. Most of
103
them carried no weapon, and it seemed to Lucifer that they were coming
against him with their bear hands. Just as Goliath of the Philistines
laughed at David when he raised a sling and a stone against him, this also
made the devil to laugh and laugh in disbelief when he saw the angels
marching out against him. They really looked very serious about the
confrontation and Lucifer could not believe that anyone who actually knew
who he was could even picture it in his heart to arouse his anger. It was
the most foolish decision he had ever imagine anyone would make.
Lucifer was intoxicated by the greatness of the power and authority which
the Lord had given him. He looked at the strength of the army coming up
against him with contempt; they were like grasshoppers in his sight. The
great wisdom which the Lord gave the king of Tyre was weakened by his
love for power and position. To his own hurt, he looked down on the army
of angels and disdained them. To him, they were less than what he could
consume at once by the fire from his mouth, especially when he saw that
they were not armed with observable weapons of war.
In his arrogant pride, he wondered if he should wipe them away with his
powerful tail, or if he should just strike them down all at once by thunder.
As they approached, all Lucifer was thinking of was how he should go
about destroying them. Loosing the battle never occurred to him, he was
only trying to decide which method of destruction would please him the
most. He must have thought of subjecting them to slow death by
drowning them in the flood that comes from his mouth. May be this did
not seem very gratifying, he may have also considered picking them like
insects one after the other to torture with his poisonous claws. But despite
104
the great powers that Lucifer wielded during this great battle, he was
disgracefully defeated and thrown out of heaven into hopelessness and
everlasting shame.
On that great day of battle in heaven, Lucifer, the god of fire opened his
mouth as usual and fire came out to burn up the holy angels. But to his
amazement, an invisible shield stopped the raging fire. After this, he
struck with a mighty thunder and the heavens quaked dangerously. But
only the shakings, lightning and noise were observed, the thunder itself
had lost its power. Then the messenger of death became even angrier so
he threw his tail at them with the aim of wiping them away as he did to
the stars of heaven, but an invisible hand held his tail down.
At this point, the destroyer began to realize that the day of his fall had
come. An invisible sword pierced through his bowels several times, as he
was being confronted by the angels. A spiritual iron rod continually
battered his crowned heads. Bullets of stone hit him from every direction
and heavy spears pierced through the metallic scales of his body.
However, he could not see the weapons that were tormenting him with his
eyes neither did he understand where they were coming from or who was
throwing them. He who was once regarded as the god of fire suddenly
began to scream and shudder in pain because he was being burned by a
new form of fire- the Holy Ghost fire.
After wielding all his fearful weapons, Lucifer, now clothed with shame,
was forced to succumb to the terrible fate which had befallen him. Then
he looked closely at the army of angels which he had earlier despised and
105
noticed that the invisible weapons that were tormenting him came in
direct response to their confessions of faith, and the immunity against his
destructive weapons which they possessed was due to the blood of the
lamb. The accuser of the brethren then sought out legal faults against
them so that he may acquire the power to torment them again, but the
blood of the Lamb continued to speak for them.
So, the devil was left totally confused and frustrated. He could not
withstand or understand the spiritual blows he continuously received. The
holy angels spoke and thunder struck the offender. They commanded fire
and it consumed him. Lucifer, the old dragon had never experienced
anything like this before. He had become a shadow of his former self.
Even his powerful jaws, legs and tail were tied down just because they
commanded that it should be so.
Lucifer and his angels lost the battle. After all their might was gone, they
sought to find a place on the holy mountain to recline away from their
enemies, but they could not. The entire mount had become one nation
united by faith in Jesus Christ. Holy angels took their stand in every corner
of the assembly; therefore, there was no room for Lucifer and his servants
in the city of God. Wherever they turned in the assembly of the gods, they
met holy angels who tormented them with invisible weapons until they
were forced to run. There was only one mountain of God and Satan could
not find another. Therefore, the old angelic guardian became an
abominable thing in the sight of the holy angels as they looked down upon
him in his sin and shameful defeat. So, they threw him out of heaven like
a filthy rag. Through the mighty power released by the Holy Spirit, the
106
new Angelic Guardian, they bound him and casted him down to earth.
What a great shame for the great impostor. This marked the beginning of
sorrows for the devil.
Who could have ever thought that the god of war could by any means
suffer defeat at the war front? Who could have ever imagined that anyone
in the world would dare to even provoke the Leviathan? In case you are
yet to understand how powerful Lucifer was, take a look at how the Lord
described him to Job, His servant.
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a
cord which thou lettest down?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft
words unto thee?
Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down
even at the sight of him?
None is so fierce that dare stir him up…
Still the Lord was not finished with His description of his greatness and
beauty. He was not ready to hide anything from His servant, so He
continued;
I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Who can discover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him
with his double bridle?
107
Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round
about.
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they
cannot be sundered.
By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids
of the morning.
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
In his neck remaineth strength,
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
themselves; they cannot be moved.
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether
millstone.
When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by
reason of breakings they purify themselves.
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the
dart, nor the habergeon.
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him
into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the
shaking of a spear.
Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things
upon the mire.
108
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot
of ointment.
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep
to be hoary.
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of
pride.
Job 41:1-34
Even though, Lucifer was so powerful that no weapon of warfare of old

could make him shudder, he could not stand before the power of the Holy
Spirit of the Father. When the iron rod of kingdom authority was revealed,
the angels defeated him through God’s power of the new covenant which
became accessible through the shed blood of the lamb. They did not need
to raise a sword or spear against him, yet they overcame him. The holy
angels conquered the dragon by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of
their testimony.
When Lucifer saw that he had been thrown down to earth, he became
more furious. The defeat he had just experienced did not make him sober;
rather it made him even fiercer. There is no sobriety in the nature of the
devil, all he does and can do is to fight, hate, kill, and destroy. Even after
his defeat, Satan began to plan towards the time when he would gain the
power of the coming scientific era and with it unleashed all the terrors of
old in a grand style. He has raised the logo of the ’morning star’ spiritually
on earth in anticipation of regaining his lost glory. The angel of death who
cloths himself with religion and human government is now hiding in
109
corners of the world seeking for the power of scientific weapons by which
he will unleash his anger once again on the entire world and especially on
the seed of the woman.
When the angels saw the anger with which he was coming down to earth,
they were forced to pity the sons of men. Even after their great victory,
they could no longer rejoice when they saw the evil that was likely to
befall humanity by reason of Lucifer’s rage. They could only hope and
pray that believers would stand up to the fight.
This seems to be the end of the story, but it is a beginning in itself. ‘’The
Story of the Fall of Lucifer’’ continues as the Lord has allowed him to come
down to earth. This gives you and me the opportunity of acting and
contributing our own parts to the advancement of the story. And with the
power of the Holy Spirit in us, we are actually meant to be the most
glorious set of actors in the entire story line. So, come with me as we
trace history and biblical prophecies even further into our own time.
Chapter Nine
THE PRINCE OF TYRE
110
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a

beast rise up out of the sea…
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his
mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelations 13:1-2
After his fall, the dragon was no longer fit for the battle before him. He
had lost the ability to make war against the new spiritual Israel. This was
because the Lord had stripped him of the authority which he once used
over God’s people. The iron rod of authority had battered the heads that
use to carry the crowns of his authority and he could no longer condemn
the people of God because the way of worship had become spiritual.
Besides all these, he had sinned against the Holy Ghost when he made
war against the Child and the angels on the mountain of the gods. So, the
endless anger of the Father was already burning against him. He was
without hope of forgiveness or restitution. He could not come near any
place where the Holy Spirit dwells. So, the devil became as good as non-
existent to believers who carry the Spirit and live by faith.
For this reason, the old dragon sought ways of overcoming his limitations
in order to get to the believer. In his wisdom, he decided to go and get a
son (his prince) who would be new in the battle scene. With a new
creature that will also have the nature of Lucifer his father, the battle
against Christians can continue.
111
With all the power the Lord had invested in him, Lucifer was able to
concoct a creature out of the same deep dark waters of mysteries that
happened to be his own mother. This creature also has the same nature
as the devil. He was his offspring but they came from the same womb.
This new creature is the beast, the prince of Tyre, the supposed heir to
the throne of Babylon.
With a creature like the beast, the devil is able to come near those who
are carrying the Holy Ghost to harm them if the battle conditions should
favour him. If any believer is found in his territory no matter how much of
the Spirit he professes to carry, the devil is able to harm him through the
help of the beast.
The beast provides camouflage for the devil. He is new in the scene and
Lucifer is only trying to use him to unleash the great anger he had always
nursed against God’s people since the time of the beginning. So the beast
happens to be the means by which the angel of death seeks to regain his
office in the world. He wants to kill, steal and destroy with greater
intensity in this New Testament era than what he did in the Old Testament
era. So, he is trying to use the beast to regain his throne.
Through the help of the beast, Lucifer is gradually regaining his kingdom
on earth and the wounds on his head are being healed. It seems that
these wounds no longer matter, as he is now doing valiantly through the
opportunities that the beast affords him. People now worship him as
112
before and his kingdom has started to increase in great proportions once
again.
The devil sustained a battered head from his encounter with the Holy
Spirit on the mountain of God. However, he still wants to wear a crown.
This was one great problem he had while trying to regain his dominance in
the world. However, he was able to solve this problem in the personality
of the beast. Through the beast, Lucifer, the old dragon was able to
transfer his crowns of glory from his wounded heads to his horns. This
solved the problem of where he should put his crown. At least, even if
they are not really on his heads, everyone would still be able to see them
on him. (Compare the dragon in revelations 12:3 with the beast in
chapter 13:1).
Before his great fall, Lucifer had his crowns on his heads. This meant that
he was anointed in the conventional way and was given the authority
which he used by the Lord Himself. He even went to the throne of God like
any other angel. He bowed down before the Lord to ask permission to
unleash his anger (Job 1:6-12). And when he went out to destroy, he went
in the power that the Lord had invested upon him. Though, he was
overdoing his work because of his evil motives, he was still using the legal
authority he had over God’s people. This is what it meant for Lucifer to
have his royal diadems on his heads. But in the battle of heaven, his
heads were battered and could no longer carry the crowns.
However, the presence of crowns on the horns of the New Testament

beast shows that the authority he has is not real but a false one. This
113
means that the beast can be confronted and his authority is questionable.
He was only allowed to reign for as long as he can hide and deceive the
world. But, when light comes, men would definitely raise the sword
against him.
The presence of the crowns of glory on the horns of the beast shows that
the glory of the prince of Tyre is simply in his horns. It means that his
puzzles are what he uses to glory over his enemies. Once the beast is able
to deceive a believer, he gains the edge and lords over his soul. This is
what it means for the beast to wear his crowns on his horns. Remember
that I have already shown us that the horns represent the great wisdom
with which the beast defeats his enemy.
Unlike the dragon, his predecessor, the beast does not need to go to the
Lord to take permission before he goes ahead to destroy a man that he
has already deceived. Lucifer, the accuser of the brethren of old always
went back to the Lord to take permission even after deceiving Israel.
Eventhough, he had already made them to sin, he couldn’t go to destroy
except the righteous Judge commanded it. This was because he was given
his crowns of authority by a legal ceremony- they were placed on his
heads. However, the beast received his crowns without the direct
involvement of God. He is therefore not accountable to the Lord. This
makes him very dangerous.
Lucifer fought against a physical nation, but in this new spiritual era, the
beast is in warfare against a spiritual nation. The old king was specially
given to fighting observable war, but the beast is a specialist when it
114
comes to spiritual war. He was brought forth from the sea of hopelessness
in order that he may wage war against believers. Lucifer deceived people
into sinning against a visible Lord, but the beast deceives them into
sinning against the Holy Spirit. Unlike the old dragon, the beast is more
interested in corrupting the heart of man than his physical conduct.
We can observe the works of the beast and Lucifer by studying peoples’
actions. This is why the scriptures tell us that we shall know them by their
fruits. Therefore, as Christian we monitor the activities of the beast by
looking at what is happening around us on the street, in our schools, in
individual homes, at working environments and businesses. More
importantly we have to look at what is going on in the government. This
would provide us with information on how much the beast is thriving.
The Old Testament is the era of law, and Lucifer reigned while hiding in it.
The New Testament on the other hand is the era of science, and the beast
also reigns while hiding in it. However, this is not the best method for
differentiating the Old Testament from the new because the law did not
become extinct with the coming of the New Testament, and at the same
time, science had always been existing since the time of the beginning.
So, it is better to define these two eras by the aspect of science and the
law that were reigning in them.
In the Old Testament, physically observable law and science ruled over
the entire universe. Science itself is not a new phenomenon. It had been
since the time of Adam when fig leaves were sown together to make
clothing. Noah also built an ark that is probably the size of a convectional
115
duplex. Machines were made as far back as the bible days of kings and
there were men in those days who were renowned builders of all kinds of
weapons of war. Even before the advent of calculus, I believe these
ancient engineers knew ways of solving problems that required such
aptitude. Wood works, metal works, pottery, bottled wine, clothing,
perfumes, jewelries, musical instruments, large and high rising buildings,
ancient medicines, ancient writings of the prophets, and planned farming
systems are proofs of the existence of science during the days of the
patriarchs. However, the science of the Old Testament was very physical.
It employed the use of tangible thing to make other larger or more useful
tangible things. Ninety nine percent of the science then was physical,
unsophisticated and crude.
The devil who ruled in the Old Testament employed the crude science
available at that time to unleash havocs on the entire nations. He
corrupted the use of pottery, wood work and metal works by deceiving the
people into using them against God. Israel provoked the Lord to anger
continually by using these arts to produce idols of different kinds. The
deceiver made sure the people used all the available science that I
mentioned earlier to fight against God and His people. At the same time,
the angel of death used the weapons of war (which science of the time
could provide) to wreck havoc in all the nations. With these weapons he
was able to kill more people within the short time he was given to carry
out each of his assignments.
However, in this New Testament era, ‘’spiritual laws and science’’ rules
the entire universe. After the ascension of Christ, modern science sprang
116
up. This is the type of science that I refer to as ‘’spiritual science’’. Men all
around the world began to discover things that were earlier unimaginable.
Scientists in this new spiritual era began to utilize seemingly intangible
things to make and drive tangible things. They came up with discoveries
pointing to the fact that there are innate invisible powers in substances.
Science itself took a new turn when the New Testament was ushered in.
The world now utilize products of science that are either invisible or are
driven by things they can not be seen.
I have already shown us that the things we see in the physical system on
earth are carbon copies of what is obtainable in the spirit realm. So, when
the New Testament was established, we started seeing things around us
that point to the inner workings of the new covenant. This is why certain
field of science could develop. Some of them include; the science of
genetics, internet, radioactivity, astronomy, biotechnology, electricity
telecommunication and many more. All these branches of science are
built on the discoveries and usage of elements that are not readily seen
with the naked eyes. You will also notice how they now rule the world.
Lucifer, the angel of death really desires to use this new form of science to
kill, steal and destroy as he did with the former crude one. He wants to
use them to provoke the Lord to anger the same way he used the former.
More importantly, he has seen the great destructive powers that are made
available when this form of science is translated into weapons of war. He
understands that If he should gain absolute control of these weapons, it is
sure that he would be able to destroy more lives and even nations within
a very short time than he was able to do since the world was made. With
117
the realization of the short time available for his final plots, the angel of
death began to seek to take hold of these weapons desperately.
When we study our history, we would notice how the devil has been
manifested in some world leader and how they desperately sought to lay
their hands on scientific weapons of the new order. It is not as if these
leaders were the devil themselves, he was only manifesting himself
through them as he did with the king of Babylon in the Old Testament.
Many of them had unbelievable dreams such as wiping out an entire race
or even the world. And if not that they were not in absolute control of
science, they would have succeeded. Lucifer really wants to take over the
world once again but he understands that it won’t be possible without
greater control over scientific weapons.
However, the person that would take over science must also have
worldwide political acceptance. Therefore, since his political era had
passed, he needed a great politician of the new order to bridge the gap.
The style of politics the devil practiced in the days of his power no longer
sells in this New Testament age. His pattern of governance no longer win
peoples’ votes, except in Old Testament countries where citizens and the
government still believe mainly in the warring prophet in the name of
practicing religion.
The Old Testament era was the era of bondage when men were held
captive under strict regulations that robbed them of self expression and
identity. It was in this kind of a system that Lucifer reigned. But the New
Testament is an era of liberty where everyone seems to be clamoring for
118
freedom. After the ascension of Christ, nations began to move rapidly

towards independence. It was obvious that men were beginning to wave
the idea of expanding their territories through war crusades. Everyone
began to work towards having truly free citizens and a world without war.
Nations began to hold peace talks and with few outbreaks of war,
international organizations are working harder at strengthening the cords
of peace. Now it seems nobody wants war again except Lucifer the
warring prophet himself and his messengers. In the political realms of the
New Testament, the only thing that sells is freedom. Just tell the people
about freedom, and they would come out en mass to vote for you. The old
dragon is not well adapted to this system of politics because he only
understands the concept of war. This is why he had to go and get the
beast.
Unlike the dragon, the beast is custom-made for the New Testament. He
has all the potentials for gaining world wide political acceptance in this
new era. This is because he believes so much in science and freedom. He
is able to take over the political scene quite easily. Almost all men would
want to vote for him. However, the problem he is still having is that some
do not believe in freedom from Godliness or freedom without Christ as the
saying goes.
The beast is already gaining control of the political scene, but all that is
left is for him to successfully hand over his authority to the angel of death.
Of course, he is already doing this but with much trouble as Christians are
on the resistance. He speaks of devaluation of human lives in the name of
freedom and science. He has started with abortion of unborn babies. Soon
119
he would move to old helpless adults. After these, he would bounce on

able bodied men in prisons until he comes upon innocent men and little
children on the street. He is doing this with the wisdom of the finest
politician of the new order. You would hardly notice the evil behind his
elegant gestures as his political campaigns are in line with the desires for
freedom and peace in the heart of an average New Testament person.
The beast is now trying to win his major opposition (Christians) to his side
or at least make them to overlook his actions. Of course, he is also
winning the battle to some extent in this area. With his horns of
deception, the evil god who reigns in the midst of modern science is
beginning to make some believers to support his anti-Christ laws, while
others have simply become indifferent. Both categories favour his
operations very strongly. With Christians keeping quiet, he would have all
the opportunity of successfully handling over his throne to the angel of
death who would unleash great wrath on all the nations of the earth. At
the same time, if he gains the support of believers, he would have
successfully ruined the eternal salvation of so many.
If believers neglect the fight of faith against the anti-Christ, he would have
all the time to hand over his political powers to the devil. When this
happens, the angel of wrath having gained world’s political power would
use the instrument of torture to make Christians to deny their faith and
lose the reward of heaven. Therefore, if believers keep quiet, the result
would be the same as when we support the anti-Christ. The only wise
option is for all Christians around the world to rise up and stop the beast
and his anti-Christ laws. With the power of the Holy Spirit, prayer and the
120
weapon of love, we shall be able to stop the works of the devil until Christ
finally comes.
The law of the Old Testament was good but Satan corrupted it by taking
advantage of its weaknesses. In the same way, the science of the New
Testament is very beautiful but the beast is fast corrupting its use and
taking advantage of its weaknesses too. The freedom that comes with the
new spiritual order is also good but the beast is beginning to incite people
towards using it against God.
Our enemy is not science neither is it the law but the evil spirits trying to
operate through them. We need both science and the law to build great
nations with truly free citizens. But we must also bear in mind that failure
to fight against the beast is very dangerous. If we hang our spiritual
weapons of war at this point, unborn generations would be at the
disadvantage. Soon, the nations (peoples) of the world who would not
repent but are left behind after the final harvest of the saints would be
forced to fight a physical warfare where they would contend hopelessly
with the angel of death. With political power under his control and the
weapons of the new era in his armory, all the earth would be too weak to
contend with the monster.
121
Chapter Ten
LUCIFER’S RETURN PLAN
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water like a

flood after the woman, so that he might cause her to
be carried away by the river.
And the earth helped the woman. And the earth
opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which
the dragon cast out of his mouth.
And the dragon was enraged over the woman, and
went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep
the commandments of God and have the testimony of
Jesus Christ.
Revelations 12:15-17
The devil started to unleash great wrath on all the nations of the world,
especially those who believe in the Son of God, immediately he was
122
casted down from heaven, but he could not do this with absolute success
because of certain limitations which I will now point out.
Israel had become spiritual and it was no longer a nation whose boundary
was defined by geography. The nation that had always been the object of
hatred for the king of Tyre was fast infiltrating every nation of the earth. It
became obvious that Lucifer must be ready to search the whole world,
and look in every corner of the streets of the nations to get to find his
enemies. Though he had been trying to wipe out the entire Christian race
since then, it was obvious that he needed something more than he had to
be able to kill every believer in the world. The more he killed the spiritual
Jews (Christians), the more they multiplied and spread all over the world.
You might be wondering how the devil was able to kill Christians when he
could not even come near a person who is carrying the Holy Spirit. The
reason is simple! Lucifer is a fallen spirit angel; he doesn’t have a body
that is physically adapted to life on earth like that of a man. Though, he is
able to do so many things on earth, but only by possessing his victims
with the spirits under his care could he do anything. The angel of death
can attack a person with an evil spirit, causing him or her to convulse to
death. He is able to send an incurable disease into a persons system or
even infect a whole community with a deadly plague. This used to be his
major system of causing destruction of lives, but things changed after the
coming of Christ. Believers had received the power to cast out demons,
stop plagues, heal incurable diseases and even raise the dead back to life.
Therefore, the more he attacked in these manners, the more Christians
123
had testimonies to share. Though he is incurably addicted to using these

methods, he still has another method. This method is that of deception.
Since the new spiritual Israel easily cast out evil spirits, the devil decided
to use evil information rather than evil spirits. Words themselves are like
spirits that are able to possess the mind of a man and make him act in the
most abnormal way. In fact, you can make a man to do the most terrible
thing imaginable if only you can talk him into believing it is the right thing
to do. This won’t be difficult especially when you promise him a reward
that he would be ready to even die to get.
In line with this method, the devil began to raise men with belief systems
that do not only hate Christians, but that also suggests that they should
be bled to death, clubbed down, stoned, burnt, fried, sawn in pieces and
so on. Many religious sects and individuals who were possessed by this
evil ideas or teachings began to arise. The men under the influence of
these teachings began to move with great zeal and were killing Christians
all over the world. The devil deceived them into thinking they were doing
service to God whenever they kill a Christian, so they even put in more
effort.
Christians could not stop these sects of people by fighting them back
because they were not demons but humans. I hope you understand that
Christ was not a warring messenger and believers therefore do not use
physical weapons of warfare. The only way to stop them from killing the
believers is by loving them and showing them the truth. These were
actually killing with the sincere belief that they are doing it for God. The
124
devil had filled them with evil teachings in the name of helping them to
discover the will of the creator. Believers can easily cast out demons with
one word of command but a man with false ideas needs to be shown love,
talked to and taught before his eyes can be opened and be free from the
hold of wrong teachings. Now it became obvious that with this new set of
human enemies that the devil has been raising against the church, the
only weapon of war that could work was LOVE.
As the devil continued to instigate men, nations and religions against

Christians, more believers were killed than was possible with any plague
in the Old Testament. This system of massacre of the devil continued to
work, but somewhere along the way the earth itself came to the aid of the
woman and her seeds.
The coming of the New Testament era of freedom and science was
making it difficult for the devil to carry out the work of wiping out the
believers to completion. Naturally, people of the world were beginning to
embrace civilization and to respect human right. This was making the
nations of the world to move towards a system that would not favour
mass killings of armless citizens, unnecessary wars, and defamation of
human rights and so on. This was happening as a direct consequence of
the coming of the New Testament era. The spiritual climate had changed
with the fall of Lucifer from his place in heaven and the spiritual
destruction of his work on earth, so the physical too had started to
change. The establishment of the new era in the spiritual realms was
making things to change in the same direction on earth also. However, as
I have always pointed out, the devil does not like the coming of the New
125
Testament, he prefers the dark era of old. This is because mass killings of
innocent people are better done under the system of the old covenant.
Therefore, with the advancement of the era of civilization, the initial
killings of believers naturally died down to a very large extent.
As I suggested in the previous chapter, Lucifer was fast loosing the

political acceptance of nations, peoples and governments as the New
Testament era of science and freedom advanced. It was obvious that his
regime was gradually fading away. His ideas of slavery, government by
religion, war as a means of expanding territory, holy war in the name of
serving God, capital punishment in religious law courts, cutting people’s
hands, legs, tongue, or private parts as means of punishment were
gradually becoming unacceptable to the general public.
Men were beginning to embrace the fact that sinners could be

rehabilitated in well equipped prisons instead of killing them. Human right
was already becoming a public issue and people were supporting the idea
that women should have equal rights as men. Others had begun to raise
the motion that everyone should have the right to choose the religion to
belong and that political powers should not force religion on citizens. With
this, it was becoming easier for Christians to live safely in the nations of
the world. But the devil hated this system and began to device strategies
of tumbling the era of freedom to re-establish the era of bondage again in
the world.
If the era of bondage should return, the angel of death would gain the
perfect atmosphere required for mass destruction of lives and properties
126
of the people of the earth. And with scientific weapons of the new era in
his hands, he would gain the power to destroy as much as a whole
continent with one little blow. The devil has seen this possibility and words
can not describe the joy in his heart today as he observes how
wonderfully his plans are prospering. He is carefully implementing his
strategies and now he is only one step away from success.
Lucifer, the angel of death has been taking so many steps towards making
the Old Testament era of anarchy to dominate the world once again.
However, I would not try to explain it all but would only point our attention
to the issues involved. I also believe a word is enough for the wise.
Now, the devil had two major plans that he wanted to carry out. These
plans were (1.) to tumble the New Testament era of freedom, and re-
establish the Old Testament era of bondage, and (2.) to sow the seed of
endless war all over the world.
The first thing that he did in an attempt to regain his kingdom back was to
go and get a son. The coming of his son into the scene became necessary
because of the fact that he needed somebody to introduce him to the New
Testament world in a way that she would be able to understand and
ultimately accept. Everyone now considers the devil’s system of
governance to be too harsh, cruel and destructive and would not accept
him. Therefore, he decided to get a son who would be able to bridge the
gap that the New Testament era of freedom has created between him and
his ambition to rule the world once again.
127
The beast is the son whom Lucifer got. Unlike his father, he is able to work
effectively within the New Testament system. He is the god that now
reigns in the midst of modern science and who is everyday corrupting its
use. The beast is everywhere, even in church. The devil sent him into the
entire world in order to weaken the use of science and enlightenment as a
means of freedom from the era of slavery and anarchy. Instead of
advancement in development of the nations to take men farther from the
devil, the beast is now using the same science to drive men closer into the
hands of the old dragon.
You would be able to understand this when you consider what is now
going on in the developed countries or the free countries of the world.
People are becoming so free that they even want the freedom to end the
life an ‘’unwanted’’ child or aged adults. We must wake up from our
slumber, the beast who reigns in today’s era of freedom and science is
only trying to hand the world over to Lucifer, the angel of death. The devil
can not accomplish this in a free nation all by himself, but the beast has
great political acceptance in the New Testament age and can easily
introduce death and anarchy into the veins of a so called free nation. With
the introduction of the beast, Lucifer has been able to pursue his goal of
overturning the New Testament era of true freedom. The more the
corruption of freedom and science the weaker the system became. Sadly,
the system is beginning to take the shape of the old one.
At the same time, Lucifer pursued his second goal of sowing the seed of
endless war in the world by swinging into action himself. The kind of war
the devil was sowing its seed was such a war that the participants are not
128
discouraged even by death. To get such people to fight for him, he

understood the fact that he had to promise them an after death reward
and which would be worth dying for. This kind of warriors can only be
raised on the platform of religion. I would therefore refer to these set of
religious soldiers as ‘warring prophets’.
Please note that the term warring prophets used here figuratively refers to
rebellious Lucifer and his devotees. Of course, there were faithful prophets
of old who fought battles during the Old Testament. They fought those
wars because Christ had not come to legally end the era of physical
warfare. War was the major available way of solving disputes at that time.
However, many of them, dissatisfied with bloodshed, longed to see the
coming of Christ and the fulfillment of prophesy, so that they can finally
convert their weapons of war into working implements and their weapons
of destruction into building tools. However, when prophesy was finally
fulfilled, every one laid down their weapons of war and destruction, BUT
LUCIFER AND HIS FOLLOWERS WOULD NOT.
Warring prophets or religious warriors are those prophets who still held on
to their weapons of war even after the death and ascension of Christ.
Prophets of old, who also fought wars (Abraham, Moses, Joshua and
David), are no threats to world peace today but only those who arose after
Christ. This is because the appearance of religious warriors after the
coming of Christ is a direct consequence of Lucifer’s rebellion and his plan
to fill the world with violence once again.
129
Warring prophets can be very religious. In my opinion, many of them are

more religious than Moses was. When they speak, everyone hearing their
rhymes is amazed at the magnitude of their wisdom. They gave laws that
their followers continue to cherish. In character, they were usually very
adoring and possess unbeatable charisma. They are a sect of immensely
talented gracious young men with very charming appearance. They
usually have an exceptional memory. When they recount the words they
got from the spirit realm to their followers, their audience are continually
stunned by the wisdom in their illustrations. They usually have devotees
who follow them with great passion and are ready to go with them even
unto death. Some of these warring prophets did so well in physical
conduct to the point that men of the world started comparing the
elegance of their personality to that of Christ. But like Lucifer, the angel of
death, they also have one defect in their lives. Just one thing that blights
all the charm in their personality and the purity of their outward
religiosity- a secret blood lust.
Warring prophets, like Lucifer, are religious warriors who murder in the
name of fighting for their people and perpetuating religion. Like the devil
their idea of peace is gotten from the perspective of physical warfare.
They believe that there cannot be peace in the world until the entire
nations of the earth is forced to submit to the god of the warring prophet.
They teach that anyone who fights for the god of war in such a quest
should consider himself highly privileged and favoured by God. And if he
dies in the process of killing ‘pagans’ or forcing them to confess allegiance
to his god then he is even more favored as he will be greatly rewarded in
heaven.
130
No one can be better than Lucifer, the god of war himself when it comes
to observing religious rites. Verses of the holy book are recited and
everyone in the room takes the position of awe and worship as his soldiers
prepare to unleash havoc. They are taught to give glory to the god of war
whenever they succeed in bringing one of their enemies down. Therefore,
at the war front they literally slaughter men and as the victim’s blood
sprout out from his neck like a fountain, with his appendages jacking
helplessly, they recite verses from the ’holy book’ in praises to the god of
the warring prophet. The religious gesture that they put forth at the war
front makes them immune to the cautions of their conscience and they go
on even with greater determination to unleash havoc with the sincere
belief that they are serving God. This is one of the reasons why I call them
warring prophets
All that was required for the devil to sow the seed of endless war is to
make it religious. If someone believes that he is killing for God, then he
will forever be committed to the course. When nations go to war, they
might surrender along the way, accept defeat or resort to dialogue. But
when people go to war as a means of worship, there is no turning back.
Even when they surrender or dialogue at a point, they are only trying to
get an opportunity to re-enforce. For them, they need a win in order to
appease their god. And when they seem to be sitting down quietly and
have not declared war on all ‘pagans’, it doesn’t mean that they have
renounced the warring prophet or they no longer obey his teachings. They
are only waiting for the right conditions to appear.
131
All that the angel of death and his devoted followers are waiting for is the
beast. The devil has sent the beast into the developed and developing
free nations of the world with the mandate of sabotaging the
advancement of the era of freedom by stylishly corrupting the system. It
is very disheartening to find out that two thousand years after the coming
of Christ, there are still countries where autocracy is being practiced. This
is the work of Lucifer. At the same time, it is equally shameful that with
the extent of awareness for freedom that has been created in the
developed countries, people are beginning to support the killing of babies.
All these are the activities of the beast. The devil is only using him to
weaken the new system so that the former can be re-established.
The works of the devil is gradually being concluded. He has been working
along side with the beast and they are achieving greatly. The beast is
weakening the New Testament era and re-establishing the Old Testament
era of devaluation of human lives. From the other side, Lucifer has
succeeded in sowing the seed of endless war in the world by successfully
instituting the religion of the warring prophets with political power lust.
What is now left is for the beast to hand over the powers of the new age
to the angel of death.
There is no way anyone can successfully tame the Old Testament system
of things or rid it of war and devaluation of human life. As long as this old
system is still found in the world, war is somewhere around the corner. If
proper actions are not taken towards killing the seed of war in the world
today, the Old Testament system in which the king of Babylon reigns
would return. Then Lucifer, the commander-in-chief of the Chaldean army
132
would unleash his wrath on the nations of the earth once again. It would
happen exactly as it did in the days of old. Those who escape death by
those flying weapons of the new age would be slaughtered by their own
neighbors who have come to accept the warring prophet as the true
messenger of God. It would even be worse for those who are killed neither
by the weapons nor by their neighbors. Many of the remnants would be
tortured to death. The rest would be taken into captivity in Babylon where
they would be forced to worship the warring god of the Babylonians. But
God forbid that these should happen while the Holy Ghost is still present
on earth.
The core foundational message of prophets of doom is usually the fact

that there is only one God and that warring prophets are his messengers.
They became more prominent after the ascension of Christ with a
message antagonizing the claims of the sacrificial lamb and endorsing the
teachings and attitude of the warring prophet. More dangerous is the fact
that the messages says that no other prophet should come after the
warring prophets, thereby trying to kill the hope that war should ever
come to an end. Many people all over the world have come to accept
them as the true messengers. This is why I said those who escape death
by the flying weapons would be killed by their own neighbors if the plans
of the devil should succeed (God forbid). This was what happened to the
children of Israel of old when the Babylonians invaded their land. Their
neighbors who saw the hand of the king of Babylon as the finger of God
mocked Israel and even killed those who were trying to escape. But this
would not happen in this New Testament era as long as the Holy Spirit is
present with believers on earth and until the final harvest of the saints
133
from the world take place. Those who reject the love of Christ are the
ones that must be pitied.
Now talking about the truly holy war, the type of war that our Lord and
savior Jesus Christ fought was with His blood and word. This is very
different from the wars fought by warring prophets. Jesus’ kind of war
administered life to sinners instead of death as in the case of the prophets
of doom. It was not fought with physical weapons of warfare but by LOVE
and sacrifice. Instead of fighting back and spilling human blood in the
name of saving His people or perpetuating religion, He rather gave His life
and allowed Himself to be killed, so that peace can reign in the world. He
saved the lives of His people by LOVE and sacrifice. He brought
everlasting shame to the kingdom of the devil when He gave His life to
usher in the era of peace. This is the true Holy war.
134
CONCLUSION
PROPHECY
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he

said to me, See, do not do it! I am your fellow
servant, and of your brothers who have the
testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelations 19:10
Except the scriptures actually have a prophetic perspective, it would have

ceased from being relevant in today’s world. The words of our Lord would
always remain true and alive as long as the world exists because they
have such a prophetic drift that can not be bound by time. Ofcourse, the
devil knows so much about the scriptures, but he knows little about
prophetic codes. When we move into the prophetic in our explanation of
scriptures, the devil is dumb founded. He runs into serious trouble
because prophesy is the wisdom of the Father Whom Lucifer can not
understand. Only the prophetic church can outwit the devil.
135
Now, we know that all prophesies are fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.
This brings the glory of Lucifer’s defeat solely on the personality of our
savior and Lord. He Himself is the first real prophet and the Father of all
prophets. When he came into the scene about two thousand years ago,
He changed everything man had ever known through the spirit of
prophecy. Of course, we have always understood the laws of the prophets
to be commandments. However, Christ showed us through His words that
they are not ordinary laws, but prophesies that He came to fulfill. This was
the beginning of troubles for the devil because his shame was not to be
found in any other place, but in the fulfillment of prophecies.
Everything I have written about from the chapter one of this book to this
point is the same things that almost every believer already knows very
well. But you will notice that it became a weapon of spiritual warfare when
it became prophetic. For example, we all know the account of the
beginning which was written by Moses according to tradition. We know
that the first event was that God created the heavens and the earth. God
made these two realms very good just like every other thing that He made
in the beginning. However, in verse two we saw how everything had
become formless and empty because of the corruption of the era of
angels. After this, we understand that God began the work of re-creation.
We saw the first thing that God did in verse three. He spoke and said ‘let
there be Light’ and it happened- there was Light.
When we consider this account of the beginning as a story it would only

pass for comic, but if we consider it as it is in its real form as prophecy it
becomes an eternally faithful life-giving testimony. And this is why Christ
136
came to make us see His words to the prophets of old as prophesies of

Himself. According to the gospel, we now understand that Jesus was the
Light which Moses spoke about. He is the Light that prophesy proclaimed
must come into the world. If this is true, it means that the era that
preceded His coming was the Old Testament dark era of angels and carnal
men under which the earth was formless and void. This would also mean
that it was the work of redemption through our Lord and savior Jesus
Christ that destroyed the devil’s works and casted him down from His
exalted position in heaven.
It was also after the coming of Light that that we saw the separation of
light from darkness. This signifies that it was after the coming of Christ
that kingdoms were established. Since re-creation started after God said
‘let there be Light’, we can therefore say that the new re-created world is
the world which was created after the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ- the
true Light. In view of the fact that the world we are talking about is only
accessible to believers, we also understand that it is a spiritual world
already dwelling in our hearts. And judging from the fact that the Light of
the beginning is such that lights-up every man that comes into this world,
we can convincingly say that we are the real men who have been made in
the image and likeness of God through the Spirit birth. And we can go on
and on. This prophetic gospel is what the devil can not bear to hear. It is
our weapon of spiritual warfare.
Dear Christian and end-time soldier of the cross, if we must fight this end
time battle and win, we must know Him, who is the faithful loving Warrior,
who fights with the instrument of Love. We have to understand the New
137
Perfect WarLord and Mighty Guardian Cherub- the Holy Spirit. In order to
be God’s approved soldiers who use the sword of the Spirit with great
precision in the battle field, we have to become one with the Holy Spirit of
prophesy Himself. I know my words may sound like parables now but let
me explain myself by telling you some other things I know about the
Father whose presence is manifested in the person of the Holy Spirit. It is
about his style of speech- prophesy.
The Father can not reckon with imperfection neither can He speaks
directly to an imperfect world. Therefore, in His infinite wisdom He
fashioned a way through which he would speak to the perfect world even
while it was still imperfect. This method of speech that boycotts all
imperfection to address the perfect man of the Spirit is PROPHESY. It is the
style of speech which is found all through the scriptures. This method
belongs to the Father. Refusing to reckon with imperfection, He speaks
about the perfect ending of a matter even during its raw beginning, and
calls those things that do not yet exist as though they were already
visible.
Prophesy is not the same as talking. Infact it is a method of speech which

is used in place of talking. The secret is that truth becomes limitless,
infallible and eternally relevant when it is spoken in the spirit of prophesy.
For instance, the laws that were spoken by God in the wilderness were not
really for the traveling Israelites but they were actually for us. It came
from the throne of grace and was meant to minister life but it became a
burden on the sinful Jews because it was not theirs. However, the same
law being transformed through the Spirit gives us life. All prophecy, laws
138
and promises of the scriptures actually belong to everyone who shall

become heirs of salvation. This is why the scriptures would forever be
relevant to whoever receives its content.
The powers of the age to come are released through the Spirit of
prophesy. In prophecy, we become one with the Father. When we preach
the eternal gospel of Christ in the spirit of prophecy, the power of the
Spirit would be released like never before. This power is what the world is
waiting to see. Lucifer represented the power of the Old Testament; he
was the former angelic guardian. But I have come to announce to you that
he was not the real thing. The Holy Spirit is the divine power of the Father;
He is the perfect guardian Cherub- the leader of the New Testament
soldiers of Christ. In His presence, Lucifer stands no chance; he is just too
weak to confront Him. Through the power of prophesy, sons of God in this
end time battle would finally humble the works of the devil on earth. All
we need to do is tap into the Spirit of the prophets and the entire nations
would tremble positively at the sight of our coming.
I have no doubt that God is releasing His great power to the church now
as it was prophesied in the scriptures. However, I also believe that when
the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. We must know
what to use the power of the Spirit for in order to avoid falling into the
same error as Lucifer and his angels.
The desires of the Lord for those whom He makes His sons have not
changed. It is the same things He expected the sons of God of Old
Testament to pay attention to. However, during the angelic era when the
139
Lord gave the opportunity which we now have to angels, they failed Him.
He invested great power in them so that they could administer justice,
save dying souls, break the chains of the oppressed, feed the poor and
release the prisoners, but they went their own ways in vain pursuit of
personal gains. Love was everything the Lord wanted them to possess and
communicate to the world, but rather than serve with their powers, they
sought to be worshipped. Lucifer led the Old Testament sons astray and
the whole earth went out of course. The Lord was not well pleased with
this as I have already pointed out in this book so far, so he banished the
entire system. Look at what God said about the angelic era again;
…God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth

among the gods.
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and
needy.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
wicked.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most
High.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
Psalm 82:1-7
140
Saints of God, we have been given greater opportunity in these last days
than the angels ever had. We are the true sons of God. Why should the
foundations of the earth go out of course in our own time? We must rise
up and prove ourselves to be the true sons of God who were spoken about
in prophesy. Greater power than what the whole world has ever
experienced is about to be manifested through the church of the end
time. We have to begin to use this power towards fulfilling the eternal will
of God on earth. This divine will of the Father has not changed, it is
nothing but Love.
It is time for war! We must save the poor and needy. It is time to fight for
the oppressed and save the dying souls of the world. Corruption and
injustice must not reign anymore in our lands. We are the ones that will
kill the seed of war and paralyze the arms of the angel of death. Peace
must reign wherever the soles of our feet touch. It is time to revive the
weakling arms of government and minister strength to the law
enforcement agent. There must be security of lives and properties. Men
should not spend more time in prison than required; the right to justice
must not be delayed. The rich should not oppress the poor any more in
our countries. The Almighty longs to see us manifest as His true
possession, His battle ax and instrument of deliverance. He has not
changed and would never change; He is still the same God who spoke
through His prophets. All He wants is that the revelation of His
unconditional LOVE should cover the entire nations as waters cover the
sea.
141
Brethren, all hands must be on deck in this final battle. No believer is

exempted and no one is insignificant. No matter how many or how few our
gifts are, we have equal chances at using whatever talent(s) we have to
win the same eternal reward. Wherever you are and in whatever condition
you find yourself, you can show love and make sacrifices for the sake of
another. This is what makes you a general in this end time army. You may
not have money to give, but you never can tell how far a loving smile
would go in saving the life of a hurting neighbor. Some of the little things
we do in love go a long way to destroy the plans of the devil.
For instance, all individuals whom the devil had used to promote injustice
and death in the world could have been saved if someone had prayed for
them or given them godly counsels at the right time and in the right place
when they were still younger. But what happened was that they were
suffering from hopelessness, lack of love and spiritual poverty all their
youth until they grew up into a monster and became a problem to the
country and the entire world. Some of these forsaken people got into
public offices and looted the treasury thereby robbing a whole nation,
depriving the poor of their rights and promoting death by starvation. If
someone close by had noticed there misery during their youth and set out
to help them by casting out the demon living inside them or by preaching
the gospel of love to them, they wouldn’t have grown up to be a threat to
peace. You can be the savior of the world and win a great crown for
yourself in heaven if you help to restore a little child close by. Then, at the
judgment seat, the Lord would say if not for you, that little boy would have
grown up into a murderer and kill many people. You can actually save a
whole nation by saving one man close by. Every act of love has a reward
142
and each one deals a blow on the kingdom of darkness- a little drink for
the thirsty, a gift to the poor, a timely marriage counsel, a word of
encouragement, an act geared towards defending the oppressed, a timely
business advise, a courtesy visit… all these are weapons against the
enemy. You are a good soldier when you do not only have love but also
know how to use it.
With the message of the gospel and prophesy in our mouths, the power of
the Holy Spirit in our lives and the weapon of unconditional love in our
hearts, there is nothing we won’t achieve in this last battle. There would
be no mountain too high for us to climb and no river too deep to walk
over. We are the true sons; the real spirits. We shall walk through walls
and travel faster than light or any angel. We shall defile natural laws in
the process of fighting this battle against the spirit forces of evil. Nothing
would be able to stop us, nothing would escape our impact.
In the Old Testament when men were still lowly and warfare was all
physical and bloody, we still saw how men of faith defiled natural laws to
win victory for the Lord. The scriptures tell us about the mighty men of
David. Look at what was said about some of them;
First was Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred enemies of Israel of
old just with a single spear.
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The
Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same
143
was Adino the Eznite: he lifted up his spear against eight hundred,
whom he slew at one time.
(2 Samuel 23:8)
Second was Eleazar the son of Dodo, who refused to turn back even when
all the armies of Israel had run away. Being left alone at the battle front,
he defiled death and put to flight an army that a whole nation could not
withstand. He fought until his hand cleaved to the sword.
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the
three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that
were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were
gone away:
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and
his hand cleaved unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great
victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil
(2 Samuel 23:9-10)
Shammah the son Agee saved the economy of the land when he
singularly stood against the armies of the philistines and defended a piece
of land full of lentils alone when all other soldiers were gone. The account
told us that he took his stand in the midst of the ground and defended it.
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the
Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece
of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew
the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
144
(2 Samuel 23:11-12)
If these people could do all that they did in those days of physical bloody
warfare. We can do much more in these days of bloodless spiritual
warfare. So I call on men all over the world to stand up for Christ in this
day of battle. We must give everything we can for God to use.
Valiant men come forth, fearless men come forth

Come take the kingdom to the ends of the earth
Laborers come forth, spirits and sons come forth, come
loose your life in a way you gain it.
The Lord is building an army,

come be a soldier we call forth
men!
Like a mighty rushing wind, the soldiers stomp

their foot
Men with strong conviction, they know their God,
they know His Word
To turn the kingdoms of this world to the
kingdoms of our God
The Lord is building an army, come

be a soldier we call forth men!
145
All glory to the Father of all Spirit and to the Lamb who sits upon the
thrown. May His name be praised now and forever more. Amen.
