This is the fourth post on knowing our enemy: the first was titled SATAN – PRINCE OF THIS WORLD (26/05/2024): Who he was and now is. The second was WHEN DID SATAN REBEL AGAINST GOD? (27/05/2024) The third was ANCIENT SUMERIANS RECORDED THE DIVIDE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IN ACCORD WITH THE BIBLE (03/06/2024). If you have not read these I suggest you do. It is important we know our enemy. God has revealed all we need to know in His Word, the Bible. Much is given about Satan’s last desperate efforts to maintain control of the Earth before Jesus returns to defeat him and his Antichrist in the battle of Armageddon.

Satan and the fallen angels are without their original glorious-fiery covering, which may have driven their efforts to make Nephilim. We know that God covers Himself with light as with a garment (Psalms 104: 2). God took the fire out of the midst (from inside) of Satan, his anointed cherub (who was fiery per Ezekiel 1: 13) which means he lost his source of power and connection to God and the glory that covered him. “You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your slandering; Therefore I brought fire from your midst, it devoured you.” (Ezekiel 28: 18). Satan and the fallen angels have been left without their original covering, leaving them spiritually naked and with an incredible craving to be covered. The fallen ones’ condition is analogous to Adam and Eve being left naked.

Jesus gives us some insights into the barren and restless feeling a demon experiences when cast out and how he desires to return to the body he possessed: “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. “Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation” (Matthew 12: 43– 45). Apparently, there is great discomfort in being uncovered and not inhabiting a living being. Separated from an earthly body, the demon goes “through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.” Overcome with this gnawing distress, the demon decides it is better to go back to his “house” and possess it once more. We find the same root, meaning “habitation” used to speak of the angels that did not keep their “abode/habitation” in Jude 1: 6. Paul gives us more insight on the idea of a spirit needing a habitation: “For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this, we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked (2 Corinthians 5: 1– 3).

God established the sacrificial system with Israel to temporarily connect with man; God wants to be with us, but with the state of our current bodies, his fiery presence does not allow us to be face to face. Therefore, the blood of the sacrifice makes atonement (a covering) so the worshipper can come near God. Without a “covering”, we cannot approach God; the blood makes atonement. However, atonement is not a moral issue, since even the altar is something for which atonement was needed. “And you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement (Kafar) for the altar, and sanctify it (Exodus 29: 37). The altar never did anything wrong. It was morally perfect and unblemished, yet it needed to be atoned for. This shows that “covering” is the true underlying meaning. Yet why would an altar need a covering? Simple, because it would come in contact with God Almighty, a consuming fire.

Satan’s food is the life force, the blood; in other words, he feeds on us. People who have gone deep into Satanism talk about the energy the demons receive from the blood of their victims. Thus, with every human sacrifice, every abortion, every war, and every murder, Satan and his kin are recharging their batteries. The more innocent the blood, the more energy is derived. We see the sacrifice of innocent children in Psalm 106 and, Ezekiel 16 and, many other passages.

After the Fall, Satan and those who joined him lost their power and fiery covering and were trapped behind the veil, thereby limiting their influence in the realm of men. To combat this limitation, Satan enacted a plan: He would create human-angel hybrids that would provide them their very own biological suits for their embodiment and incarnation, to be the earthly habitations in which their spirits could dwell and rest. It would be the best of both worlds— all the power, intelligence, and immortality of angels with a biological “tent” for their spirits to inhabit, making them gods in the flesh. Did Satan deceive more angels to rebel against God to mate with the beautiful women on Earth? They would be worshipped as gods if they would mate with women and could create a race in their own image. We know Satan was the one who inspired this dastardly action from a text that was found in a temple on Mt. Hermon on a limestone stele. It may be the only extra-biblical, pagan memorial of Satan’s actual command to the Sons of God to create a hybrid race.

“And the angels who did not keep their proper domain but left their own abode [οἰκητήριον], He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day, as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” (Jude 1: 6– 7). In Enoch, it records: “It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children (1 Enoch 7: 1-2). By persuading angels who are still on God’s team to procreate, Satan solved a logistics problem. Fallen angels appear limited in their ability to freely enter this realm, whereas the good angels can come and go at will.

God was paying attention to the corruption and violence Satan had caused on the Earth by commanding the sons of God to take women and procreate the Nephilim. “God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth” (Genesis 6: 12). God made it clear that all flesh everywhere on the entire planet would die.

“I, Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die” (Genesis 6: 17).
