Angels and Spiritual Warfare, Pt. 2

We cannot fight Satan with “carnal” weapons
* (v 5) We must cast down imaginations — human reasoning and anything thought/idea tries to take precedence over Scripture. We often have “Stink’n Think’n”
* We must challenge our own thoughts, if not, Satan will build a fort in our lives!
* We must compare every thought to the Word of God!
* We must remove, or cast down, errant thoughts. We can’t keep the thought from coming, but we CAN stop it from sticking!

Live for Jesus! It's Worth It!

January 15, 2020 • Dr. John Waterloo

* Gods plan for salvation is still the same (v10)... even in that time of great apostasy * The wicked will never understand... but the born-again saints will! (1Corinthians 2:6-14) * In light of these inevitable events, how should we live? * Live for Jesus always! It’s worth it!

War to War

Outline of Chapter 11 * vv 11:1-4 From the Medo-Persian Empire to the Grecian Empire and the death of Alexander the Great * vv 11:5-20 The wars between the Ptolemies and the Seleucids (descendants of two of Alexander’s four generals who divided his kingdom after his death) * vv 11:21-35 The Jews suffer great persecution under one of the last Seleucid kings, Antiochus Epiphanes, who is a type of the future Antichrist * vv 11:36-39 The latter-day persecution * vv 11:40-45 The initial triumph and then fall of the future Antichrist (11:40-45) Applications * Keep your eyes upon Israel; the real underlying issues of world events are always spiritual. * Just like God’s nation Israel, nothing can happen to Christians without God’s permission. * If we want peace... then we must prepare for loss, hardship, and war. * Prepare our families by making sure they are saved and strong in faith. * We MUST have the mind of Christ… a Christian worldview! * Expect scoffers, persecution, and wars... but continue in holiness! Be ready to meet Jesus! (2Peter3)
