When two books go hand in hand, it is clearly not a mistake. The books, The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Bible (more specifically the Book of Genesis) evidently represent each other. In both books, the divine figure had a specific purpose to initiate the flood and who they wanted to be the book's’ “hero.” In reference to the Book of Genesis, the divine and humanity develop a tenacious relationship subsequent to the flood due to the divine realizing it was a mistake. Earth was created in the eyes…
The pagan gods were and still are shells for demons that live in the world. God protects those who do not stray from Him from the demons, however, those who turn away are vulnerable to interaction with the evil spirits. Spirits have lived in our world since the beginning of the world. Spirits can be evil and can be of good. God and His angels talk and guide the faithful and righteous, and the evil spirits like Satan and his “minions” attempt pull us away from what is true and right. The only way…
It is well known that Donald Trump has lived a life of decadence and self-pleasure. But the general public is largely unaware of his associations with organized crime. Much of his wealth was amassed on the addictions of the poor in his Atlantic City casinos. The four times his casinos filed for bankruptcy, he gained millions as his employees, contractors and investors suffered loss. I would encourage people to do some research into Trump’s past. The Antichrist is described as “wicked”, which…
Not everyday does one get the pleasure to spend the day with a person some people consider to be the devil. A man so hated by some that he’s depicted as Satan himself. Yet at the same time this man has a following so large it’s considered to be a threat to the Catholic Church in Rome. Who is this controversial man? None other than Martin Luther. The same Luther who had the audacity to nail 95 Theses to the door of our very own Wittenberg Church doors. This was a day with the devil, kind of. To…
I’ve always found it easier to watch a thriller than reading one. Maybe I should start reading? Reading a horrific tale is more personal than watching the movie, or so they say… Raven’s peak is a fast paced thriller by Lincoln Cole. It is book 1 in the World on Fire series. Join Abigail in her quest as a demon-hunter within the order of the Council of Chaldea. Her faith and determination will be tested in this sordid tale of redemption, revenge and the supernatural. The tale begins with Arthur…
Many writers use analogies of fire and ice to represent ideas in their stories. In stories from the past year, ice has been the image for hate and fire for desire. Robert Frost’s poem, “Fire and Ice,” is meant to be a witty response to a folkish claim about the end of the world. By adding to folk wisdom his own experience of two emotions, desire and hate, Frost begins a speculation about the relationship between emotions and their ultimate consequences. Although the simplicity of Frost’s poem…
Carlos Wallace once said that, "The most dangerous among us come dressed as angels and we learn too late they are the devil in disguise". This quote speaks so many volumes and sheds light on the horrors of false characters, including rapists. Sex offenders don't show their true personality and identity due to their lack of morality. Tim Madigan continues to support this claim by explaining how sex offenders act very charming and receptive of women on the outside. However, on the inside, their…
The conflict: The Dutch Angel Dragons. Creatures of awe and majesty, torn apart by the forces who admired them. The Dragons were emotionally scarred and ripped apart by the discord woven into the Paradise. The fall: No longer could the Dutch Angel Dragons reside in Paradise. They fell endlessly into the other realms. Some even fell so far as to enter the newly created Abyss. Our story begins after the great conflict. A long while after these events, many Dutch Angel Dragons inhabited the…
Demons The Existence and Nature of Demons A. Their Creation – God created demons as part of the angelic realm originally (Col.1:16). B. Their Fall – The evidence – It is clear that Satan has a following of like beings (“Prince of the demons” – Matt.12:24; the Devil and his angels – Matt.25:41). Demons are described throughout the Scriptures (Dan.10:10-20; Matt.10:1; Eph.6:12). 2. The time – At the fall of Satan, many angels followed him in that rebellion (demons are fallen angels). A third of…
Horton: Horton describes angels as heavenly servants who were created to serve God. Angels minister to people, watch over believers, and learn the truths of God’s unfolding mystery in Christ. Horton believes that God brings angels into existence and they have the ability to choose whether to follow God or not. “The fallen angels are not treated as evil by creation but as followers of Satan in his mutiny” (407). Horton speaks of Satan as the most angelic angel, but became prideful and planned to…
