Does anyone see my point of view yet?

Lots of hits on this thread, but not too many comments. I don't believe the total hits count.

Hello Michael,

God bless you this day.

It was nine years ago when you first posted. You just may be correct in your assessment and/or discernment/revelations of Bible scriptures regarding Satan and what is now referred to as The End Times. One thing is certain, God's Word has a hold on your heart, which is absolutely awesome! Praise God.

I also am gripped by God's Word and dine on it regularly, and ponder the who, when and where of it all. I know that once Jesus returns and we are united with The Lord face to face, all our ponderings will be made perfectly clear.

While re-reading your original post, several scriptures came to my mind:

2 Corinthians 12
King James Version
11 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.


Luke 10:17-20
King James Version
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

(Note: Bold emphasis added by me, Mack)

I realize that The Lord is All-Knowing and nothing is hid from Him, and as The Lord said in Isaiah 46:10:

Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

So, as you implied in your post, some of the scriptures are prophesying future events, yet to happen. And, some of the events described have already taken place as of year 2021.

It continues to be my favorite thing to fill my day: -- reading and meditating on God's Word. I pray you and yours continue in God's Word and the peace of God fills your hearts.

Philippians 4:6-8
New King James Version
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

God bless and keep you,
Mack
