satan: discerning the character of the fallen angel
06/01/01
iwillgonow: "One of the mightiest of the angels."
psycho314t: Satan manifests himself in his true character. But he does not appear as a hideous monster, with cloven feet and bat's wings. He is a mighty angel, though fallen.
jello13091: That is what decieves....
iwillgonow: Yes, he looks like an angel that has lost his light.
jello13091: Something as bad as Satan, could be something that looks so wonderful.
iwillgonow: If he doesn't change his appearance.

iwillgonow: We must EXPECT Satan to appear as an "angel of light," and as the ultimate "antichrist," He will appear as Christ. Just imagine if you will—this magnificent being appears on the earth, speaking tenderly as we imagine our Savior spoke. He appears to heal the sick, although he is actually having his devils remove the illnesses which they originally caused. He speaks of peace and love, but something is amiss. He doesn’t quite speak exactly what the Bible says, and tells the world that the Bible has been corrupted over the years—and he’s here to correct that. He claims he is Christ. He looks like we expect Him to look; he speaks like we expect Him to sound, and EVERYONE seems to agree—HE’S FINALLY ARRIVED! Is it really Him?
jello13091: How do we know!
psycho314t: because he's going against the bible
iwillgonow: And Jesus will not appear on this earth.
iwillgonow: He will come in the clouds.
psycho314t: i was going to ask that.. the lightning and all that wont accompany satan? only jesus' return?
iwillgonow: Satan can cause fire to rain from Heaven.
iwillgonow: His power is unmatched on this earth.
iwillgonow: He will do "miracles," but other than healing and such I know no specifics.
jello13091: (Does everyone see what time it is?)
jello13091: We found something good and just took off.
iwillgonow: And even his healing, as you read above, is a misconception of the word, since he takes away the illnesses he gave in the first place.
psycho314t: everything satan does is deception.. even his "healing"
psycho314t: and yeah, i just noticed the time.. surprised that everyones still awake
jello13091: no good in him
iwillgonow: The key is the Sabbath.
iwillgonow: She says Satan will officially say Sunday is the day.
iwillgonow: When he plays Christ.
psycho314t: satan can read hearts and minds like Christ, can't he?
jello13091: And so many people will believe and say "i told you so"
iwillgonow: Which is on top of the fact that he doesn't get to emulate the coming in the clouds, which the real Jesus will do.
iwillgonow: No.
iwillgonow: Satan cannot read your heart or mind.
iwillgonow: Only God can do that.
iwillgonow: And God has given this power to Jesus.
iwillgonow: Satan can do almost as good.
psycho314t: what is it then, he reads our characters or something, to know what our weaknesses are?
iwillgonow: After being the brightest, most intelligent, most powerful, most gifted being in existence, next to Jesus and God Himself, Satan has studied the human species for almost six thousand years now.
iwillgonow: And can by a look know almost what you're thinking.
iwillgonow: Or by how you walk.
iwillgonow: Or what your physical traits are.
iwillgonow: He can infer it.
psycho314t: very, very educated guess
iwillgonow: The absolute best.
iwillgonow: But he cannot truely read your heart or mind.
psycho314t: ok
iwillgonow: None can give life but the Life Giver, which is Jesus, who receives that power from God, the origin of life.
iwillgonow: Satan will try to fake it, though.
iwillgonow: Act like he's ressurrecting people.
iwillgonow: I'm guessing.
iwillgonow: He's probably going to imitate every miracle Jesus did.
psycho314t: have his demons inhabit dead bodies or something.. scary
iwillgonow: Yeah.
psycho314t: turn water into wine... but his will prolly be alcoholic
iwillgonow: Hahaha
jello13091: I keep thinking he won't look pretty, but he will.
iwillgonow: And he'll say get drunk and be happy, have orgy.
psycho314t: brave new world all the wya
psycho314t: way
psycho314t: yeah, ive thought that too. but he was the most high angel in heaven.. he had to be beautiful
jello13091: Yeah.
psycho314t: perfect physically.. strong.. why is it that sin didn't weaken him mentally and physically like it did humanity? because he was stronger to begin with?
iwillgonow: It says that over the years, his real, true, natural countenance has developed wrinkles and frown, from his utter evil.
iwillgonow: And for an angel, that's amazing.
psycho314t: so it did have some effect on him
iwillgonow: Yeah.
iwillgonow: He has no shining light.
iwillgonow: No covering glory.
iwillgonow: He has to fake it
iwillgonow: Make an illusion.
psycho314t: can him imitate... yeah
psycho314t: er.. can he*
iwillgonow: He is still immortal.
iwillgonow: But his look has suffered.
psycho314t: what happens to him after his 1000 years imprisonment?
jello13091: Does he burn?
iwillgonow: He's let loose to deceive the nations, God and Magog, and lead them against the New Jerusalem and Jesus and His people.
iwillgonow: And the final death comes then.
iwillgonow: *Gog and Magog.
