We love you too. 2 00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:07.530 It's a great honor to have such a class and to be studying such a great subject. 3 00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:12.150 I trust that you are following this series of lectures very closely through your 4 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.830 syllabus. I call Demons and Deliverance, Principalities and Powers, Volume 1. 5 00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:21.790 There is a volume 2 that deals with such subjects as directly with witchcraft and 6 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.670 the occult and things of that nature. 7 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.820 And we're dealing substantially in these lessons with like... 8 00:00:28.830 --> 00:00:30.860 today's lesson, The Origin of Satan. 9 00:00:31.590 --> 00:00:36.360 We're going right back to the fundamentals of the subject in order that we might 10 00:00:36.370 --> 00:00:42.100 have our knowledge perfected in what God wants us to know as of this 11 00:00:42.110 --> 00:00:44.020 hour to set men and women free. 12 00:00:44.510 --> 00:00:49.560 In this lesson, where we are studying the origin of Satan and the origin of evil, 13 00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:55.540 very fortunately, we have the full story of the fall of Satan, 14 00:00:55.550 --> 00:00:57.240 that he was not primarily 15 00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:01.730 created to be evil. God does not create evil. 16 00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:03.290 Evil has to create itself. 17 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.390 You say, can it? You better believe it. It most certainly can. 18 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.730 And so we are studying the full story of the fall of Satan, 19 00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:16.310 the works that he carries on, and also his destiny. 20 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:20.430 We want to have the fullness of the whole operation of the beginning, 21 00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:22.590 the middle, and the end. 22 00:01:23.410 --> 00:01:26.280 If you have a Bible there and you don't have our teaching syllabus, 23 00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:31.580 which I hope that all of you will get and let us study together, page by page, 24 00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:37.420 the whole syllabus, which is a compendium of great size and importance. 25 00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:43.320 And here are 50 years of travel and understanding of things around 26 00:01:43.330 --> 00:01:46.160 the world that makes it a very important book. 27 00:01:46.170 --> 00:01:49.920 In the book of Ezekiel, chapter 28, beginning in verse 12, it says, 28 00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:56.160 God is talking directly to his prophet Ezekiel. 29 00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:59.320 He says, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus. 30 00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:03.840 You're going to soon find out that he is talking about a Satan who had possessed 31 00:02:03.850 --> 00:02:09.400 this king. And say unto him, thou saith the Lord God, thou sealest up the sum. 32 00:02:10.290 --> 00:02:14.220 It would take a really a long time to go through this whole thing. 33 00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:17.890 And really when you... read those first few words, 34 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:21.690 you can see that he's not talking about a person as a human being. 35 00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:26.330 He's talking about the one who has possessed this ruler. 36 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:28.730 He says, Thou sealest up the sum. 37 00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:35.990 And that meant that everything there is is sealed up on the 38 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.690 face of the earth. And he says, 39 00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:44.880 Thou sealest up the sum are full of wisdom in the beginning when he was created in 40 00:02:44.890 --> 00:02:47.710 heaven. The Bible designated him as one full of wisdom. 41 00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:51.030 It says perfect in beauty. Perfect in beauty. 42 00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:55.930 This is the only creature that in the word of God is in the universe that's 43 00:02:55.940 --> 00:03:00.510 described perfect in beauty. He was one of the archangels of heaven. 44 00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:04.530 Perfect in beauty. It's amazing. It's amazing. 45 00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:09.130 Thou hast been in the garden, in Eden, the garden of God. 46 00:03:09.140 --> 00:03:11.210 Now you see that it's not talking to a human. 47 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:13.470 There was no one living in Ezekiel's day. 48 00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:17.310 that had been living 3 ,000 years before and more. 49 00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:21.270 And so you can see immediately that he was not speaking of a... 50 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.990 He was king of Tyrus, but here was a person that had fully 51 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.630 conquered and taken over this person. 52 00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:35.710 So he was addressing this evil thing through the human instrument here. 53 00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:39.750 You've been in the Garden of Eden. Every precious stone was your covering. 54 00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:45.710 Every precious stone. Can you imagine a creature that was covered just with precious 55 00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:48.470 stones? Glittering like the noonday sun. 56 00:03:49.220 --> 00:03:51.210 And then he names those precious stones. 57 00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:57.110 He says, excuse me, such as the sardius, the topaz, the diamond, the beryl, 58 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.130 the onyx, the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, the carbuncle. 59 00:04:00.140 --> 00:04:04.670 And he says not only the precious stones, but gold covered with gold. 60 00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:10.570 He says the workmanship of your tablets and of the pipes. 61 00:04:10.630 --> 00:04:12.940 was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 62 00:04:13.390 --> 00:04:16.520 He is the one that made the music of heaven. 63 00:04:17.970 --> 00:04:23.700 We're going to study in another lesson about all the great archangels of 64 00:04:23.710 --> 00:04:26.260 heaven. And this one here, 65 00:04:27.070 --> 00:04:31.460 like Gabriel, is in charge of the communication system of heaven. 66 00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:36.220 This one here was in charge of the worship and the praise and had to do with the 67 00:04:36.230 --> 00:04:41.100 music. of heaven and and so he says that within his domain uh there was the 68 00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:45.560 workmanship of tablets pipes prepared in thee in the day that thou was cut that thou 69 00:04:45.570 --> 00:04:50.200 was created and so he was not born see that again shows you that we're not talking 70 00:04:50.210 --> 00:04:55.400 to a man that this person we're talking about was not born that he was created he 71 00:04:55.410 --> 00:05:00.980 was created you are the anointed cherub that covereth i hope you follow me very 72 00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:06.870 closely here in ezekiel chapter 28 he was the anointed cherub which shows that 73 00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:10.690 he was one of the cherubim before the throne of God, 74 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:13.730 and that he was the one that actually covered the throne. 75 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.390 That means he was in the center of heaven. 76 00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:18.990 He covered the throne. On the left, it could have been Michael and his angels. 77 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.830 They are the warriors of heaven. On the left, Gabriel, the communicators of heaven. 78 00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:26.410 In the center part, the worship area of heaven, 79 00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:28.110 were one -third of the angels with him, 80 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.370 and that he is the one that covered the Most High. 81 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:37.090 the shekinah that flowed out from the eternal living of the of the godhead 82 00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:41.950 and that he covered this and it flowed through all this music and it flowed through 83 00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:47.910 all of these uh beautiful jewels and gold and then god says i have 84 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.870 set you so and this was god created him to do the job that that was where he was 85 00:05:53.880 --> 00:05:59.610 created to be was there and then he said and you are upon the holy 86 00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:00.620 mountain of god 87 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.310 upon the holy mountain of God. 88 00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:07.610 When you get to heaven, it will be so exciting to see things that you've never seen 89 00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:09.970 before, to understand things that you never understood before, 90 00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:13.010 and to know about the mountain of God. 91 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.710 Evidently, there's an elevated place in eternity there, in the heavens. 92 00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:24.530 And he was one that lived in this elevated place where the others would look 93 00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:28.010 upon him to see him on the mountain of God. 94 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.870 You're the ones that walked up and down the midst of the stones of fire. 95 00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:34.630 Now, Ezekiel tells us that if you were to see the God of Israel, 96 00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:37.330 from his loins downward was fire, from his loins upward was fire. 97 00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:39.190 Such was the similitude of the God of Israel. 98 00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:45.490 And so, and as Moses saw the bush that had fire in it but was not consumed, 99 00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:49.050 there is a fire that does not consume. The devil's fire does consume. 100 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:52.130 Earthly fire does consume. God's fire does not consume. 101 00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:57.370 There was fire on the head of all those that received the Holy Spirit on the day of 102 00:06:57.380 --> 00:07:00.340 Pentecost. Not one of them was singed. Not one of them was burnt. 103 00:07:00.350 --> 00:07:03.160 It was a spiritual fire. It was a heavenly fire. 104 00:07:03.170 --> 00:07:06.920 And he said, you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 105 00:07:06.930 --> 00:07:11.700 And so around the throne of God was the living fire. 106 00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:15.020 And this person was in that. Look what it says. 107 00:07:15.030 --> 00:07:18.340 You were perfect in your ways. Isn't that amazing? 108 00:07:18.350 --> 00:07:22.720 Not only was he perfect in beauty. He says, you were perfect in your ways. 109 00:07:22.890 --> 00:07:27.480 From the day that you were created. See, again, he was not born. 110 00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:30.140 He did not have a mother. He was created. 111 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:33.270 We're talking about the origin of the devil, the origin of Satan. 112 00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:36.230 And we're reading from the Word of God, you know, 113 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.950 so that we can all have a firm comprehension. 114 00:07:39.570 --> 00:07:42.220 You say, I don't believe it. Well, that's your problem. 115 00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:44.860 It's not my problem. I do believe it. I accept it. 116 00:07:45.270 --> 00:07:50.020 If you can't discover where the evil of this world comes from, you're in bad shape. 117 00:07:50.030 --> 00:07:52.500 I'll just tell you that right now. You're in bad shape. 118 00:07:52.650 --> 00:07:56.420 You need to know that there's a source of evil and that we must come against it. 119 00:07:56.430 --> 00:07:59.260 We must push it back or the whole world will become evil. 120 00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:02.770 If you turn it over to the devil. Now he had to come from somewhere. 121 00:08:02.780 --> 00:08:05.790 The Bible tells us here he was a created personality. 122 00:08:05.900 --> 00:08:08.830 He was a created personage. That he was in heaven. 123 00:08:09.310 --> 00:08:11.020 That he was perfect in beauty. 124 00:08:11.030 --> 00:08:16.020 That he did have all the precious stones of heaven covering him as a covering. 125 00:08:16.030 --> 00:08:20.840 And he says you were perfect from the day that you were created. 126 00:08:21.550 --> 00:08:24.660 And you're going to see in our next reading to you. 127 00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:29.600 He says until iniquity was found in you. He created his own iniquity. 128 00:08:29.690 --> 00:08:33.360 He created his own iniquity. I'll show you just how in just a few moments. 129 00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:37.040 You can do the same. You can do it. 130 00:08:37.050 --> 00:08:42.680 A girl can come from the most holy home and become a harlot, you know. 131 00:08:42.850 --> 00:08:45.080 Her mother wasn't one. Her grandma wasn't one. 132 00:08:45.090 --> 00:08:51.000 It's not known in that family, but she can be one until iniquity was 133 00:08:51.010 --> 00:08:55.040 found in thee. He created his own, his lustful attitudes. 134 00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.640 I'll read it to you in just a moment. Just stick with me real close. 135 00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:01.550 till iniquity was found in you. Then he says, what did it? 136 00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:06.030 By the multitude of your merchandise, you filled in the midst of thee with violence. 137 00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:10.850 He wanted, according to the Bible that I'm going to read to you in a moment from the 138 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.590 book of Isaiah, if you get your Bible open, ready for me. 139 00:09:16.010 --> 00:09:19.260 The whole world wanted to be his. He wanted to exalt his throne. 140 00:09:19.270 --> 00:09:21.820 He wanted to make merchandise of heaven. 141 00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:25.540 His throne must be elevated equal to the throne of God above all the stars of God. 142 00:09:25.550 --> 00:09:28.000 Maybe there are many thrones. He had to have the top one. 143 00:09:28.010 --> 00:09:30.920 He says, the multitude of thy merchandise. 144 00:09:31.390 --> 00:09:32.820 Of receiving things. 145 00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:36.600 Beautiful stones. You know, gold. 146 00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:40.640 You know, he saw this thing and it filled him with desire for more. 147 00:09:40.650 --> 00:09:44.160 Can you imagine a fellow having golden streets and he wants more than that? 148 00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:49.960 He says, by multitude of thy merchandise that have filled the midst of thee with 149 00:09:49.970 --> 00:09:53.640 violence. He said, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. 150 00:09:53.650 --> 00:09:55.120 I'm going to read it to you in just a moment here. 151 00:09:55.130 --> 00:09:56.130 Hold on tight. 152 00:09:56.770 --> 00:10:02.680 He had a war in heaven, and God had to cast him forth from heaven in order to rid 153 00:10:02.690 --> 00:10:06.540 heaven of an unpleasant situation. And he says, thou hast sinned. 154 00:10:06.550 --> 00:10:09.200 You ought to underline that word. Thou hast sinned. 155 00:10:09.210 --> 00:10:12.220 That means you have transgressed. You have transgressed. 156 00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:16.700 You have deliberately. You have volitionally, with your own mind, 157 00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:20.660 your own emotion, you have volitionally set yourself against the most high that 158 00:10:20.670 --> 00:10:23.560 created you. You say, oh, why did God let that happen? 159 00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:30.430 You cannot have love until you've got the propensity of hate. 160 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.130 You can marry a wife and at the altar you can say, I love thee until death. 161 00:10:35.140 --> 00:10:38.610 And she might divorce you a few weeks later, a few days later, a few months later, 162 00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:43.270 a few years later. You may have children and they might shoot you dead. 163 00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:46.490 With hate one day. That's the chance you have to take. 164 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.710 That's the chance you have to take. God has to take the same chances. 165 00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:52.530 He wants every one of us to be holy, every one to be pure. 166 00:10:52.540 --> 00:10:55.470 And God is not willing that any should perish, you see. 167 00:10:56.520 --> 00:11:00.090 But we all come to eternal life. God wants that. 168 00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:02.070 But you have your own volitional qualities. 169 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.750 You can decide whether you want to be on God's side or the devil's side. 170 00:11:06.760 --> 00:11:11.910 He says you've sinned. I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God. 171 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:13.370 God said, I'll cast you out of heaven, 172 00:11:13.380 --> 00:11:16.410 out of this holy place where the throne of God is lifted up. 173 00:11:16.420 --> 00:11:18.930 I'm going to cast you out of this elevated position. 174 00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:20.710 I'm going to rid heaven of you. 175 00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:25.990 That gives you some feeling, doesn't it? I'm showing you the origin of Satan. 176 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.410 That bad thing came from a very good place. 177 00:11:30.280 --> 00:11:32.530 That's right, from a very good place. 178 00:11:33.570 --> 00:11:37.470 He said, thou hast sinned. 179 00:11:38.140 --> 00:11:43.370 I cast you as profane. You know, profane means that which is not holy. 180 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.970 That means something that's contaminated. 181 00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:49.970 When you profane a house, you've made it dirty when it was clean. 182 00:11:50.060 --> 00:11:55.690 And so I cast you out as profane, out of this holy mountain where you were high and 183 00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:58.930 lifted up there, out of there. And I will destroy you. 184 00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:02.820 I will destroy you. He's already been destroyed from that mighty position as an 185 00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:06.060 archangel of heaven, commanding millions. 186 00:12:06.330 --> 00:12:11.880 of angels behind him who believed in him and fell with him from heaven. 187 00:12:11.910 --> 00:12:14.820 But God says, ultimately, I'll destroy you. 188 00:12:14.830 --> 00:12:18.460 We're going to teach you that in these lessons of where he will be. 189 00:12:18.470 --> 00:12:22.660 He says, you are the covering cherub. You see, that's what I told you. 190 00:12:22.670 --> 00:12:25.320 The covering cherub. He's covered the throne of God. 191 00:12:25.810 --> 00:12:27.820 He had the most important job in heaven. 192 00:12:27.830 --> 00:12:32.420 He was a number one executive vice president right under the trinity of heaven, 193 00:12:32.430 --> 00:12:36.000 you see. He says, you are the anointed cherub that covereth. 194 00:12:36.140 --> 00:12:41.270 And you came out of the midst of the stones of fire, that gorgeous, 195 00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:46.230 glorious diamonds and sapphires that glittered with the eternal flame of God until 196 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.890 they sparkled and dazzled like a rising sun. 197 00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:54.450 And he walked up and down in these. Can you imagine a person like that going wrong? 198 00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:57.470 Now, I've seen a lot of things go wrong that would amaze you. 199 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.190 And he's one of those amazements. I want you to know that. 200 00:13:01.260 --> 00:13:04.770 He says, your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. 201 00:13:04.890 --> 00:13:07.240 You ought to put a little circle around the word beauty. 202 00:13:08.090 --> 00:13:12.380 Right up here, it says that you were perfect in beauty, right at the top. 203 00:13:12.870 --> 00:13:17.800 In the third line, if you have the teaching syllabus there, perfect in beauty. 204 00:13:17.850 --> 00:13:21.220 And he said, your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. 205 00:13:21.530 --> 00:13:25.320 Neighbors, when you start looking at yourself, you're going to miss Jesus. 206 00:13:25.410 --> 00:13:28.060 That's right. Oh, look what a good person I am. 207 00:13:28.070 --> 00:13:31.320 I tell the truth. I'm honorable. I pay my tithes. 208 00:13:31.330 --> 00:13:34.460 When you start looking at yourself and seeing your own goodness, 209 00:13:34.510 --> 00:13:37.300 You're on the wrong road. You're going the wrong way. 210 00:13:37.330 --> 00:13:41.060 You can't do that. All that I am, Jesus made me. 211 00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:42.780 I was totally bad. 212 00:13:43.610 --> 00:13:49.840 And I know that. I was totally bad. And Jesus changed me and made me good. 213 00:13:50.170 --> 00:13:54.060 I'm not perfectly good. I'm working at it every day. 214 00:13:54.070 --> 00:13:57.480 I seek to be better by the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. 215 00:13:57.510 --> 00:14:02.100 But I want to say that all the goodness that comes from my life comes from God. 216 00:14:02.150 --> 00:14:06.790 He is the giver of that life. And I say to him, thank you for doing it. 217 00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:08.690 He says, your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. 218 00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:10.670 But that beauty was not natural. It was supernatural. 219 00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:12.410 It was given to him as a gift. 220 00:14:13.250 --> 00:14:14.250 Ah. 221 00:14:14.450 --> 00:14:18.000 So many times we squander the gift of God. 222 00:14:18.130 --> 00:14:21.060 And sometimes we take the gift of God and make merchandise out of it. 223 00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:24.920 Isn't that terrible? The gift of God. And that's exactly what he did. 224 00:14:24.930 --> 00:14:26.040 He says, you corrupted. 225 00:14:27.730 --> 00:14:31.140 Thou has been corrupted thy wisdom by the reason of thy brightness. 226 00:14:31.150 --> 00:14:34.300 Isn't that amazing? It says that he was perfect. 227 00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:39.250 and knowledge up here. Perfect in beauty and also perfect in knowledge, you know. 228 00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:43.650 He says, full of wisdom. Running over, full of wisdom. 229 00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:46.290 That's in line two in your teaching syllabus there. 230 00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:51.010 Line two, full of wisdom. And he says, now you became corrupted by it. 231 00:14:51.020 --> 00:14:54.070 So many times, it's the gift of God that corrupts us. 232 00:14:54.300 --> 00:14:56.850 God is so good to us. God can give you a new Cadillac, 233 00:14:56.860 --> 00:14:58.230 then you stop going to church. 234 00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:01.430 God can give you a new home, and it takes all your time to keep it up. 235 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:02.750 You can't worship Him anymore. 236 00:15:03.590 --> 00:15:08.920 Ah, I'd rather be poor and drive a Model T and get to heaven, you see, 237 00:15:09.050 --> 00:15:14.860 yeah, than to drive a $100 ,000 limousine right off the beautiful 238 00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:17.680 lines in London, a Berlin. 239 00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:23.040 No, no, my ultimate goal is not that, it's heaven. 240 00:15:23.420 --> 00:15:26.990 Please, please, please follow, follow, follow Jesus. 241 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.840 Please do. I urge you to. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. 242 00:15:30.850 --> 00:15:35.940 You have corrupted yourself by your wisdom and by the reason of your brightness. 243 00:15:35.950 --> 00:15:38.880 No one in heaven was as beautiful as this person. 244 00:15:38.890 --> 00:15:39.890 No one. 245 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.590 By the reason of your brightness. He said, I will cast you to the ground. 246 00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:49.330 He lost his heavenly position. He came down to the earth. 247 00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:51.550 Down flat. He hit the bottom. 248 00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:56.550 From an exalted position to possibly the most exalted in the whole of heaven. 249 00:15:56.560 --> 00:16:01.190 He boomed to the bottom. Went to the bottom, from extreme to extreme. 250 00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:02.950 I've seen that in my lifetime. 251 00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:05.910 I've seen ministers that were at the very top, and you look, 252 00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:07.210 and they hit the bottom. 253 00:16:07.260 --> 00:16:10.430 You don't do that unless there's transgression on the inside of you. 254 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.850 No, that don't happen unless the path of the righteous goes brighter and brighter. 255 00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:18.450 Now, my Bible teaches it, and yours does too. 256 00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:22.770 Yours does too. The path of the righteous doesn't grow darker and darker and meaner 257 00:16:22.780 --> 00:16:23.970 and meaner and lower and lower. 258 00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:27.270 The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter. 259 00:16:27.520 --> 00:16:30.690 It's a bright and shining pathway right to the city of God. 260 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:35.150 I expect to do more for God the last day I live than any day in my life. 261 00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:40.190 I expect to use more of God the last day of my life than any other day of my life. 262 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.370 The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter. 263 00:16:42.380 --> 00:16:46.530 It grows. It does not shrink. It does not diminish. 264 00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:52.550 It grows. It goes in Jesus' name. He says, you were corrupted by your brightness. 265 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.750 There have been people corrupted by their good preaching, by their good singing. 266 00:16:56.820 --> 00:17:01.190 you know by their good organization their powers that god gave it to them corrupted 267 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.870 by he said i'll cast you to the ground i'll put you low brother you're sitting 268 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.350 against god and you're headed the wrong direction you'll hit the ground and below 269 00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:13.510 the ground i'll lay you before kings that they may behold they you see i do that 270 00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:18.030 every day i do that every day i i just lay him out says there's satan for you 271 00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:21.990 there's the devil there's the one that's causing all this pornography there's one 272 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.320 that's calling all this illicit bunch of junk That comes onto our newsstands and on 273 00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:28.260 our television. There he is. 274 00:17:28.270 --> 00:17:32.200 I lay him before the ground for everybody to look and behold him. 275 00:17:32.250 --> 00:17:36.160 Wicked and cruel is he. That's just exactly what God said would be. 276 00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:42.370 And it's just that way. Exactly that way. You have defiled your sanctuaries. 277 00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:44.310 He was the leader of the choir of heaven. 278 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.810 All the music of heaven was under his dominion. 279 00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:49.490 And he says, you have defiled your sanctuaries. 280 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:54.550 How did you do it? By the multiplied, by the multitude of your iniquities. 281 00:17:54.690 --> 00:18:00.440 This is one of the greatest indictments in the total human 282 00:18:00.450 --> 00:18:05.060 realm of knowledge about the origin of evil, the beginning of sin, 283 00:18:05.070 --> 00:18:06.300 the beginning of transgression. 284 00:18:06.330 --> 00:18:09.120 This is one of the greatest scriptures in the whole of the Word of God. 285 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.530 And the devil don't want you to understand them either. 286 00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:14.490 He doesn't want you reading this. He'd just assume you'd skip over this. 287 00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:18.530 He'd like to throw you off on the first line, the lamentations of the king of Tyrus. 288 00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:22.610 Brother, by the time you get to the second line, you find out he sealed up the sum. 289 00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:25.290 He was full of wisdom. He was perfect in beauty. 290 00:18:25.580 --> 00:18:29.030 And he was in Eden, the garden of God. And immediately you say, hey, 291 00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:33.230 not a man. Not talking about a man here. You better look and see. 292 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.330 You're seeing that this king was possessed of this person. 293 00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:40.950 And that he was a mediator to this person was disseminating his strength and power. 294 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.450 God help us when we got kings and presidents. 295 00:18:46.550 --> 00:18:50.360 And leaders that are full of evil and not full of God. 296 00:18:50.370 --> 00:18:52.260 All right. I hope you're still with me here. 297 00:18:52.430 --> 00:18:56.280 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries. He had defiled heaven. 298 00:18:56.290 --> 00:18:59.040 He had defiled his position that God had given him. 299 00:18:59.050 --> 00:19:04.040 I never want to defile the ministry. I stand before a podium. 300 00:19:04.050 --> 00:19:07.220 And this podium here speaks of holiness. Yeah. 301 00:19:07.230 --> 00:19:10.240 It speaks of purity. It speaks of goodness. 302 00:19:10.430 --> 00:19:13.920 And I don't want to defile this spot. A teacher. 303 00:19:14.030 --> 00:19:17.000 It should be a person that lives by his own doctrines, you know. 304 00:19:17.010 --> 00:19:20.880 I don't want to defile my sanctuary. Please, please, God. 305 00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:23.920 I never want to defile my sanctuary. And you want to have the same feelings. 306 00:19:23.930 --> 00:19:26.460 We're preparing you for these tremendous lessons. 307 00:19:26.470 --> 00:19:30.320 We're showing you the origin of Satan. He didn't begin bad. 308 00:19:30.330 --> 00:19:32.960 He began very good. And you've got to know that. 309 00:19:32.990 --> 00:19:35.520 You've got to realize that. The multitude of your iniquities. 310 00:19:35.710 --> 00:19:38.280 By the iniquity of your traffic. 311 00:19:38.450 --> 00:19:43.060 He got maybe two or three hundred million angels to follow him. 312 00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:48.810 Brother, he messed up heaven. He took a third of the angels of God, innumerable. 313 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.950 And we're going to teach you that these are now the demons that bring sickness and 314 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.090 that bring trouble and sorrow to the earth. 315 00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:58.250 They're still working for him. They're still working for him. 316 00:19:58.260 --> 00:19:59.790 The iniquity of your traffic. 317 00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:02.220 India, 318 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.890 Tibet, Indonesia, Afghanistan. 319 00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:11.180 These are areas that he's in traffic there, hurting. 320 00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:14.370 All the dope traffic of the world, the liquor traffic of the world, 321 00:20:14.380 --> 00:20:19.150 the nicotine traffic of the world.

Traffic. 323 00:20:21.060 --> 00:20:26.370 He's working at it in order that he might spoil the beautiful temple of God that God 324 00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:29.370 has made. Oh, I hope you can see it. I hope you can believe it. 325 00:20:30.310 --> 00:20:33.440 God says, therefore, I'll bring forth a fire from the midst of thee. 326 00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:39.480 One day, God will point his finger at him, and he'll burn up by himself. 327 00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:42.270 I'll bring a fire from the midst of thee. 328 00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:46.150 You know, God will say, you powerful creature that I made, bingo. 329 00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:51.670 And it'll hit him right in the middle.

You better believe it. 331 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:58.770 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished. 332 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:00.850 Brother, when we see the end of Satan, 333 00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:03.270 it's going to astonish everybody that's lived since Adam. 334 00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:07.600 They'll all see it. All those good people, well, the bad people too, will see it. 335 00:21:07.610 --> 00:21:11.540 And they will be astonished at what has happened to you. 336 00:21:11.550 --> 00:21:13.160 Because thou hast been a terror. 337 00:21:13.230 --> 00:21:15.260 They're going to say, hey, you know, the one that ruled this nation, 338 00:21:15.270 --> 00:21:18.980 and the one that ruled Babylon, and the empires of Persia, and of Greece, 339 00:21:18.990 --> 00:21:23.140 and of Rome, and the one that was behind all these mighty emperors, look, look, 340 00:21:23.150 --> 00:21:26.040 look what's happened to him here. You see, 341 00:21:27.230 --> 00:21:30.280 thou hast been a terror, and never shalt thou be anymore. 342 00:21:31.290 --> 00:21:35.460 Never shalt thou be anymore. Isn't that a dissertation for you? 343 00:21:35.570 --> 00:21:37.040 You ever hear anything like that? 344 00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:40.870 Doesn't that get close to you? It most certainly does. 345 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.690 Now, that is his origins. 346 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:47.090 Open your Bibles again now, and this time to Isaiah chapter 14. 347 00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:52.090 And if you have your teaching syllabus there, it ought to be in your lap. 348 00:21:52.100 --> 00:21:55.910 Because these studies are so particular, and they are so forceful, 349 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.230 they are so dramatic, until you need to catch on to every word of them. 350 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.110 That's the reason why you should have them on at least audio tape. 351 00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:09.110 And that you should let the audio tape run while you are reading through this. 352 00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.710 You should hear my words as well as read them. 353 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.490 And, of course, videotape is an advanced step of that. 354 00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:17.310 And it's becoming so economical until anybody can use it. 355 00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:20.870 And we have the half -inch videotape or the three -quarter wrench or anything else 356 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:26.130 you want. We have prepared these for saturation of truth into all the world. 357 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:29.370 God bless you. God really bless you. In Jesus' name. 358 00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:31.890 Now, if your Bible is open to Isaiah. 359 00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:37.630 Chapter 14, beginning in verse 12, we will further go. 360 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.650 The other was Ezekiel chapter 28 and verse 12. 361 00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:46.750 Now this is Isaiah 14 and 12. Now, God speaks again through another prophet. 362 00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:50.630 That was through Ezekiel, and the major prophets of the Bible were these men like 363 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:54.210 Isaiah and Ezekiel and Daniel and Jeremiah. 364 00:22:54.280 --> 00:22:58.130 They were certainly the major prophets of the Word of God. 365 00:22:58.140 --> 00:23:00.610 And so Ezekiel, one of the major prophets, 366 00:23:00.620 --> 00:23:05.890 submerging himself in faith and submerging himself in consecration and 367 00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:10.910 submerging himself in dedication and submerging himself in contrition, 368 00:23:11.100 --> 00:23:15.550 God revealed truth to him that was not written beforehand. 369 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.710 Isn't that great? Don't you want to be a person that God can reveal truth through? 370 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.330 And this one is from Isaiah. Equally great. 371 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.250 A great prophet of God. And in chapter 14, verse 12, he says, 372 00:23:27.260 --> 00:23:33.210 How are you fallen from heaven? What an indictment. 373 00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:35.530 What an indictment. You say, who, who? Well, he tells you. 374 00:23:35.780 --> 00:23:37.250 How are you fallen from heaven? Lucifer. 375 00:23:38.260 --> 00:23:39.260 Lucifer. 376 00:23:39.760 --> 00:23:44.590 The name, the original name of the devil and of Satan is Lucifer. 377 00:23:44.600 --> 00:23:47.530 That was his first name. As an archangel, he was Lucifer. 378 00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:50.550 He was Lucifer. He says, How are you fallen? 379 00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:54.420 Fallen. An angel fell. Neighbors, listen to me. 380 00:23:55.250 --> 00:23:58.700 If an angel can fall, and if he can fall right out of the arms of God, 381 00:23:58.770 --> 00:24:00.680 you and I better be careful, you know? 382 00:24:00.970 --> 00:24:05.360 We better walk circumspectfully, not as fools, but as wise, as the Bible says. 383 00:24:06.190 --> 00:24:08.700 Here is a man that had no one to tempt him. 384 00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:11.540 He was tempted of himself on the inside. 385 00:24:12.250 --> 00:24:14.520 Well, you're going to see right here what happened to him, 386 00:24:14.590 --> 00:24:16.180 how it happened right here. 387 00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:20.000 He says that you have fallen, and he had fell from the grace of God. 388 00:24:20.010 --> 00:24:21.840 He had fallen from heaven. 389 00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:26.210 The place of serenity, the place of beauty, the place of joy, 390 00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:29.950 the place of the presence of God, and he had fallen from it. 391 00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:34.030 You archangel. Now, listen to what he said. 392 00:24:34.040 --> 00:24:37.250 He says, Lucifer, you are the son of the morning. 393 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.670 No one was as bright as he. No one was as bright as he was. 394 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:43.680 Son of the morning. 395 00:24:44.060 --> 00:24:49.230 You're cast down to the ground. That's just what it said in the others here. 396 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.730 You're cast down to the earth. You've hit the bottom. 397 00:24:51.820 --> 00:24:57.040 you're at zero what did he do you weaken the nations i'd like to talk to you an hour 398 00:24:57.050 --> 00:25:02.500 on that you every nation that's ever been weakened was weakened by satan by sin and 399 00:25:02.510 --> 00:25:08.180 satan they you know that word serpent right in there close by that you see sin satan 400 00:25:08.190 --> 00:25:13.200 serpent uh you know you were weakened for thou said in thy heart now listen now this 401 00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:16.840 is the reason satan is the devil I will ascend into heaven. 402 00:25:16.850 --> 00:25:19.520 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. 403 00:25:19.530 --> 00:25:23.540 I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. 404 00:25:23.550 --> 00:25:28.230 I will ascend above the clouds, the height of the clouds. 405 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.710 I will be like the Most High. 406 00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:35.070 I will be like the Most High. 407 00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:38.770 I will be like the Most High.
