Today, we will have the 11th session on The Eyes to See the Bible. The second key word that appears from Genesis chapter 3 to Revelation chapter 20 is what I would like to share with you. It is important to have the right perspective when reading the Bible. If the eyes to see the Scriptures are not opened, simply reading a lot will not lead to understanding. We need to recognize how to perceive the Bible. Even Jesus opened the Scriptures for His disciples, showing them how to understand it. There were those who were clearly seeing but not perceiving; eventually, they came to see. This signifies that spiritual eyes can be opened. Therefore, depending on how we look at the Scriptures, the Bible can be clothed in various ways. Just as women's clothing can change their appearance, the way we view the Bible can also affect its interpretation.

There are many ways to approach the Bible. Some may see it as a profound literary work, others as a cultural text or a historical account. However, this Bible is a book about life, a book about atonement, and a book aimed at destroying the devil. We need to consider how we will view the Bible, as this is very important. Through our tenth session, we are studying that we must view the Bible from the perspective of Jesus. It speaks about me, and that ultimately grants eternal life. To enter the eternal kingdom of heaven, we must see Jesus in the Bible. So, who is Jesus? Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Lord. The Son of God, the Lord, came to this earth as Christ for us, as a king, a servant, and a prophet. However, it is not just for us; there is another purpose. That purpose is to destroy the devil.

The appearance of Jesus has two main purposes for us: one is to grant us life, and the other is for atonement. So, these are the two main reasons, and then there is the matter of destroying the devil. These are the three reasons He came. At one time, in our country, there was a person from Berea who began to be swept up by demons. People didn’t know well about it because he had researched demons and claimed to have uncovered the truth through hundreds of studies of the Bible, which led people to follow him. However, it was full of lies; it was nonsense. When I think back on it now, it seems absurd, but at that time, we didn’t realize it. And in reality, he was casting out demons. We can't cast them out; ordinary people, especially pastors, cannot cast them out. So, people thought he was legitimate, but later it turned out that everything was wrong. Even those from Berea started to come out and reveal the truth.

It's wrong. This is not it. Yes, so you need to understand it correctly. If you teach incorrectly, lies will follow. The ministers who teach lies will go outside the walls. If you teach incorrectly, God will surely hold you accountable. Read Ezekiel. He said, You shall speak what I tell you. If they listen, they will be saved, but if they do not listen, they will receive their due. If you do not speak, I will seek their blood from your hands. Ezekiel, listen carefully. Jeremiah said the same thing, and so the responsibility must be accounted for. God has set you up as a minister, so why are you teaching lies? The most serious issue is that, as seen in Revelation, those whose names are not written in the Book of Life will definitely be punished for lying. So, it's incredibly important. Pastors cannot just study the word casually.

We need to fully immerse ourselves in Hebrew and read all the historical texts to understand how they speak about it. We must have a comprehensive perspective on the Bible. It has been repeatedly said that the Son of God came to this earth solely for humanity. However, it began to be said that He first came to destroy demons, which was shocking at that time. I don't know if you remember the chaos in Korea back then. Yes, He is here to destroy the devil. But how wrong was the interpretation that the devil is being destroyed by using humans? This makes the destruction of the devil seem more important. Moreover, the claim that demons are the souls of unbelievers is nonsensical. If you read through many writings on the devil, they are filled with lies. At first, I didn't understand this well. We need to grasp the truth properly. Therefore, when we look at the Bible, we must do so according to the Bible itself.

Therefore, it is important to clearly understand why Jesus came. He came as the Christ, and this Christ fulfills the roles of king, priest, and prophet, performing three main tasks. First, He gives life. In John 10:10, it says, I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. He is the one who gives life—Jesus, the life-giver. 

Secondly, in Mark 10:45, it states, For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. This indicates that He came to serve and to offer Himself as a sacrifice for many. 

Additionally, in 1 John 3:8, it says, The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. So, what does it mean to destroy? Let's look again at 1 John 3:8. It starts with the idea that the one who does what is sinful is of the devil, as stated in the original text.

The one who commits sin belongs to the devil, and from the devil, there are schemes. The term ek refers to coming out from within, meaning it originates from inside, while po refers to something that starts from the outside. When it does not include oneself, it refers to the devil. Therefore, the Bible states that one belongs to the devil; it means being under the control of the devil. The devil is completely overtaken. It is said that the devil has been seized. The devil has been sinning from the beginning, and the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. This means that He will eliminate the devil or cause it to disappear. We need to look at this. In the original Greek text, the word used is luo. The basic meaning of luo is to loose, to set free, or to release.

However, the meaning of liberation is not just that; it also means to cancel, abolish, and ultimately to break, destroy, dismantle, and annihilate. So, to put it precisely, the statement about destroying the works of the devil means to dismantle the works of the devil in vengeance. It is useless to dismantle the works that the devil does. So, is there no way to annihilate the devil? Yes, there is a way to annihilate the devil. There truly is. Now, let's look at Hebrews 2:14. The term to destroy appears in the verse. It is written as katargeo. To be precise, it is katargeo, which is mentioned here. This term means... Let me read it. Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil.

In the end, it means that it renders something useless or invalid. Therefore, when we destroy the works of the devil, no matter how much the devil tries, we have dismantled his works, which means we break them down. This is why the devil is of no use. However, in Hebrews 2:14, it indicates that he makes these works useless. So, while the phrase destroying the devil appears the same in Korean, different words are used, meaning to dismantle, to destroy, to break down, to give birth, to render useless, or to make ineffective. This means we cannot eliminate demons; we cannot remove them entirely. Therefore, we must work on removing them.

We need to carefully consider what Jesus did when He came to this earth. He spoke about dying on the cross for our wisdom and for our sins. This is the concept of atonement; it is about atoning for our sins. However, the teaching has some flaws. It doesn't mention anything about demons or why Jesus came. That's a mistake. So, when the gospel is preached, those who listen may end up under the influence of evil spirits. God loves us, and for our sins, He died on the cross. Believing in Jesus is essential; this is the truth. It is said that if you believe, you will go to heaven. While that is fundamentally correct, it does not encompass the whole picture. Yet, it has been misunderstood as if it represents the entirety of our salvation, leading to claims made by missionary organizations.

These are dangerous things. They are dangerous because missionary organizations can never engage in church life, so we need to understand this well. We can refer to this, and yes, we can learn in academic settings, but that’s not the whole picture. We need to understand this clearly. So, what did Jesus do on this earth? What does the Bible say? The second keyword that appears from Genesis 3 to Revelation 20 in Matthew 4 is the devil. It talks about the devil. Now, let’s look at Matthew 4:23. It starts with Jesus going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. He was spreading the gospel, engaging in missionary work and evangelism. Furthermore, He healed every disease and every evil among the people. Here, evil refers to weaknesses. When He healed the sick, how did He do it? By casting out demons and healing the sick.

Let's correct Matthew 8:16. It begins, When evening came, many who were demon-possessed brought to Jesus, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This indicates that he didn't just heal the sick but also cast out demons, which is significant. 

Now, in Matthew 10, when Jesus sends out his disciples, what does he do? Let's look at verse 1. Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. The term authority is used in the Bible instead of power, which refers to one of the two options: authority or power. He gave them authority to cast out impure spirits and to heal the sick. Therefore, when I engage in healing ministry, healing occurs; it's not just about healing alone.

We must drive out the spirits. The doctor only expels the spirits and fixes the walls. So please understand, the spirits are still there, and simply removing their influence allows them to return and create problems again. This is why illnesses can come back. The chance of surviving five years with a serious illness is less than 1%. Most people die within five years. Those who are ill will die, and it's crucial to repent without exception. For those who have serious illnesses, the chances of surviving ten years are also very low; almost everyone dies within five years. The energy of death has already spread. This is particularly true for those who have performed ancestral rites. The illnesses that come from ancestral rites require more repentance than those dealt with by shamans. Jesus came to this earth to teach and spread the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, and He also drove out spirits and healed the sick.

In Luke chapter 13, there is something significant. Yes, it mentions that Jesus came to destroy the devil. That's an important point. However, saying that He used humans as tools to destroy the devil is completely wrong. The devil and such entities do not give life; they are not meant to. Life is intended only for humans, as God created them. Hallelujah! Later, in Hebrews 1:14, it is stated that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. Hallelujah! This highlights how great humans are. It's absurd to think that God would use humans to destroy the devil, but back then, people didn't understand this. However, when you hear this, you realize that the Bible should be viewed from a different perspective. The term Berea in the Bible signifies that when you truly enter the Scriptures, it opens your eyes. It’s like putting on the right glasses. This is where it begins.

It is about seeing the Bible from the perspective of casting out demons. That's what I'm saying. There is also a misunderstanding here. It's wrong to say that. Let's look at Luke 13:32. I will read verse 32. It says, Go tell that fox, 'Today and tomorrow I am driving out demons and healing people, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' This is the same; it speaks of casting out demons and healing the sick today and tomorrow, and on the third day, it will be complete. If we say this, it means that Jesus spent one-third of His public ministry casting out demons. When we compare this, telling people not to talk about casting out demons in the church means ignoring one-third of Jesus' public ministry. Ultimately, what is at the heart of atonement? It came about because humans sinned. But who made humans sin? It is the devil who causes humans to sin.

The one who made the plan of atonement work is due to the devil. However, it is not wrong to say that Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins. We should talk about that and believe in Jesus to be forgiven for our sins. But we must also understand how the devil led us to sin, and ultimately, we need to fight against sin as if we are casting out demons. The problem is that this is not being taught, and that is a serious issue. Look at the prayer mountains; are there any that teach not to repent for ancestral sins? Go and see for yourselves. Repenting for sins and casting out demons is extremely important. We don't realize how much our ancestors' sins are related to us. People don't know, and that's why it happens. That’s why we are like frogs in a well. God has opened up the well, so everyone should listen and not live in a frog's house in the well.

Listen to everything else I say. There are messages I have sent. God, this is it. It means to listen carefully in this land. Mark 16:17-18 says, And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name, they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues, they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover. Here, casting out demons comes first, and healing the sick comes later. There is always an order. When you cast out demons, it’s important. But there’s also the aspect of handling serpents. Yes, demons are involved, and by casting out demons, you can also handle serpents. There is a spiritual hand involved. With this spiritual hand, you can catch and pull out demons. You can stab demons with the spiritual hand. The fire comes in power. When it comes in, it causes a commotion. I can melt them away with this hand; no matter how big the demon is, I can crush its head.

Just drill a hole, and then they say there are ghosts and snakes. What does that mean? We need to understand what snakes are and what ghosts are. Therefore, we need to understand the overall context through the Bible, but no one seems to distinguish between ghosts and snakes. So, we need to look at the Bible again. Now, what about ghosts and Satan? Is he a ghost? The devil, the devil is the king of the ghosts that Jesus drives out. This is mentioned in Matthew 12. I will explain everything later. So, the leader of the ghosts is the devil. What about the snakes? Their relationship is mentioned in Revelation 12:9. The snake that appears in Genesis 3 is also mentioned in Revelation 12. It is said to be the same snake from the past in Genesis. But that creature...

They say it's a dragon. So, when that snake grows big, it becomes a dragon. That's why we go to Taebaeksan. When you go to Taebaeksan, there are dragons—five dragons with five claws each. Their tails are touching the ground, and their heads are looking up at the sky. There are more than a hundred of them in Taebaeksan. That’s why they call Taebaeksan a sacred mountain. Shamans say it is a divine mountain. They talk about how shamans need to receive spirits there; there are tremendous spirits at the top of Taebaeksan. There are also spirits in Jirisan and Gyeryongsan. These are the mountains where they go to receive spirits. The dragons there are incredibly large. There’s a temple where a snake wraps around it, and it’s several kilometers long. The size of that snake is such that it goes past the temple. If you go near the temple, you suffer, so you should quickly move away from the temple.

Don't buy it. There's an enormous snake, a dragon that says it will eliminate me. If you go outside, you could die. Just how big is it? The ranks are private, corporal, and it's hard for people at these levels to have faith. They need to know their place. Of course, you can overcome everything with faith, but faith doesn't just come naturally. You need to have spiritual authority; you need to be able to handle the stars. If you don't, it becomes difficult, and you might just be overwhelmed. We need to understand the devil. The reason I'm saying this now is that today, in my introduction, I want to emphasize that we need to cut off the devil. We haven't been taught properly about the devil. We're taught well about atonement, and also about gaining life, but that's not taught enough. In fact, the purpose of Jesus coming to this earth was to distribute life, but this isn't emphasized enough. He came for atonement.

He died on the cross for our sins. This is what we are always taught, and it only takes a minute to learn. Yes, we consider both aspects. So, what does the event of Jesus' crucifixion mean? Let's take a look. The shedding of Jesus' blood and His death signify that He died for our atonement. First and foremost, that’s right. Jesus died on the cross to atone for our sins. Additionally, it also relates to removing the curse. He died to atone for our sins, and the wages of sin is death, which means He died in our place. Therefore, the first meaning of the crucifixion event is for humanity; it is to atone for our sins. Why? Because Plan B was implemented, we need to restore the original state as quickly as possible. However, what else does it mean? Jesus’

I talked about how the Gospel of John powerfully conveys its message. In John 12:24, Jesus explains why He came to this earth. In John 10:10, He says, I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly. However, verse 24 reveals a principle: Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. The seed, when it falls and dies, expands its life. So, one grain of wheat can produce many grains. I should have counted how many grains come from one, but I didn't think to do that. If there are any farmers listening, they might have a clearer idea of how many grains come from just one seed.

Please leave a comment. I experimented with ten of them, and it turns out that one yields a certain number of fruits. If I were farming, I would verify it right away, but I'm really disappointed. I love this, and if I had known this would come out, I would have practiced a bit back then. However, when one seed dies, many fruits are produced, and that means life is being expanded. So, how does Jesus give life? He liberates the life within himself through death. The event of Jesus on the cross was to liberate God's life and put it into people. Hallelujah! There was a purpose behind it. This is not often discussed in church. They say that believing in Jesus leads to atonement, but that refers to the state before having life. They don't even talk about the life of the delivery. So, people believe in Jesus and repent, claiming they have received forgiveness, but there are still so many demons present.

Because we don't drive out demons, we end up committing sins and going to hell. In the end, it's not just about having a good relationship; we need to receive life. We must welcome Jesus as our life. Hallelujah! We must welcome Him. Jesus comes into us with life. This issue is very important. The question of whether our names are written in the Book of Life determines our fate. However, if we receive atonement, it leads us to Genesis chapters 1 and 2. We haven't eaten from the Tree of Life yet; we need to eat of that life. This issue of life should have been addressed, but in the church, they don't deal with the matter of life. Jesus came because the Father has life within Him, as stated in John 5:20, and He has given that life to the Son. He wants to share that life with us. Hallelujah! So when we die, we gain much life. Jesus, at that time, when He dies...

The only person who receives the life of the only begotten Son is elevated to the position of the firstborn, and then the others become his siblings. We are discussing this aspect of hallelujah, which Paul mentions in Romans 8 when he refers to being the firstborn. In Hebrews 1, it states that Jesus is the firstborn, and we become his siblings. It says that He is not ashamed to call us brothers, as mentioned in Hebrews 1. Therefore, the issue of receiving life is very important regarding Jesus; this is fundamental. Right? Why? Because in Ephesians 3:6, it says that we become children of God and heirs. The life is not about atonement; rather, atonement is a precursor to receiving life. One cannot have eternal life in sin, so there are two significant roles: the one who atones, which is Jesus, and the one who gives life, which is also Jesus. These two aspects are unified for humanity. Therefore, the purpose of Jesus coming to this earth is fundamentally for humanity. However, there is one more aspect to consider.

It is to destroy the works of the devil and render him useless. So, what does the cross of Jesus signify? Thirdly, the event of Jesus’ crucifixion was an act that destroyed and rendered the devil useless. This is how we should view it. Now, let’s look at Hebrews 2:14-15. Why did Jesus come to this earth? He came to liberate us from the devil. Yes, He came to help us escape from the devil. Hebrews 2:14-15 states, Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. He came to set us free. The reason Jesus died on the cross was to destroy the devil.

To open your eyes to see this, the Bible will be revealed. The Bible is a book of the spirit, not a worldly book. Colossians 2:14 and 15 are about atonement and the destruction of the devil. Let’s look at Colossians 2:14-15. 

“Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” This means that Jesus took on the penalty for our sins that the law condemned us for, so that the law can no longer condemn us; He has made atonement for us. 

In verse 15, it says, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” The principalities and powers refer to high-ranking angels. He has disarmed them. The original text indicates that He has made them defenseless, exposing them and making a spectacle of them, triumphing over them through the cross.

The statement means that the spirits have been disarmed. What this means is that you should listen carefully: the devil does not attack just anyone. If he does, he is punished by God, which is why he does not attack anyone indiscriminately. He attacks legally, causing people to commit sins through temptation. For example, in John 13, the devil entered Judas Iscariot's heart and implanted the thought of betraying Jesus, leading him to sin through his actions. Therefore, the devil causes people to sin legally. This devil holds the power of death. But what is death? It is the wages of sin. In Genesis 2, it is said that if you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will surely die. That is the essence of sin. The reason we cannot escape death is that we have sinned, and that sin...

The reason for sinning is that the demons cooperate to tempt us. In Matthew 4:1-4, it is written that the tempter came to test Jesus. The first man, Adam, was tempted and fell, and now the last Adam, the second Adam, has come to be tempted as well. The tempter can influence us to sin, and when we sin, he can bring curses upon us, like the serpent he uses. The serpent represents the authority that the devil holds. However, did Jesus succumb to temptation? No, He did not. Did Jesus sin? No, He did not. Therefore, can death's power be used against Jesus? No, it cannot. However, there is a way. The Son of God has come, as heard during John the Baptist's baptism, when a voice from heaven said, This is my beloved Son.

내 기뻐하는 자라, 자기는 천국에 지금까지도 있었고 왔다 갔다 했는데, 한 번도 하나님의 아들을 본 적이 없었거든. 감춰 놓은 거, 하나님이 하나님의 아들이 누구냐는 거예요. 네가 하나님의 아들이라면 돌을 떡으로 만들어 봐. 성전에서 뛰어내려 봐. 나에게 잘하면 다 줄게. 세상 모든 망구, 천하 망구 영광 시험하지. 유혹하는 존재인데, 예수님은 넘어가요? 안 넘어가요? 기록되어 있대요. 뭐라고요? 말씀을 알아야 귀신을 이길 수 있어요. 말씀을 모르면 다 속는 거예요. 어떤 사람은 말씀도 이거 안 보고 귀신 축사 쪽에만 해, 능력 받아서 한다. 다 속아, 자기 속에 무당이 꽉 차고, 대사들 장군이 꽉 들었어. 지금 대한민국에 사역하는 사람들, 그 다 속아버려. 나중에 그래서 생명이 지어져 버려요. 나중에 하다가 그걸 몰라. 성경은 해야지 제대로.

The devil led sinful people to commit sins, entering their hearts and working through death, dragging them into hell. But what could be done about Jesus, who had committed no sin? Eventually, he deceived people into killing him unlawfully. The elders had committed a crime, and Pilate declared, I find no fault in him. However, they still handed him over. They killed him despite not finding any sin in him. Yet at that time, it was said, Is it not better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to perish? Caiaphas said this, which led to Jesus' death. Who caused this death? It was Satan who deceived them into killing him. Can a person kill on their own? It is Satan who brings about death, ultimately seizing the power of death.

The devil committed an illegal act. Who did? The devil. That is why God took away the keys of death and Hades at that time. This is mentioned in Revelation 1:18. If you look from verse 17, it says, Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. It says, I am the First and the Last, the Living One. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades. Death is followed by Hades, as stated in Revelation 6. So, the keys of death and Hades were taken away from whom? They were handed over to Satan. However, Jesus took them back. Why? Because of the illegal act. The death of Jesus on the cross was a trap for the devil, as He came as a human being. It is clear that this is God's plan.

I heard it was a son, but Jesus poops, right? I'm sorry. Jesus isn't hungry; he asks to eat. And he gets tired and strikes at the junk. Looking closely, who is this? A person? A person can kill. Yes, a person can kill. But what is inside? It's the resurrection life that cannot be killed; I don't know. So, when God became a person, it was a trap to catch the devil. The devil doesn't know this. If he just kills Jesus, then all the descendants of Adam in this world would be under his control, thinking there is no sin. If he kills the second person, who is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15 as the last Adam, then all of humanity would be his. He thought, If I just kill this one. But since he committed an injustice, the power of death is no longer his. Everyone, if you rely on the Lord, the power of death belongs to the Lord.

Because the Lord gives life and takes it away, the devil cannot do that; only the Lord can. I add that even if you go to the emergency room, don't worry. You will not die unless God takes you. So, when you commit this injustice, what does it mean that they have been disarmed? Look closely. The term disarmed refers to an army. Disarming means removing armor, and there would be ranks involved. They disarmed everything, including weapons like guns and swords. When Jesus was crucified, all the authorities, powers, and rulers of darkness came to the scene. They thought they had finally eliminated Jesus, but by committing this injustice, they stripped themselves of the ranks that had been assigned to them.

I didn't know this, but we are told to resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Satan has six stars, but how can we overcome that? When I look at the highest-ranking person in South Korea, they only have four stars. How can we win? We can't. But what happened then? The cross. It tore off the ranks. It disarmed him. Therefore, we can win through faith. No matter what kind of evil spirit comes, I can say, In the name of Jesus, you are finished. We cannot do it with our own strength; we cannot win. Jesus has disarmed you. That is what the cross signifies. On the cross, you were disarmed, so you cannot attack me. As it says in 1 John 5, the evil one cannot touch us. When we proclaim in faith, it will be done. Faith exists in a 4D, 5D world.

There is a way to utilize one's abilities, and that is indeed possible. Although their ranks have been stripped away, the abilities they possess have not disappeared; they remain intact. The ranks may have been removed, but they still retain the same abilities. In the past, those of higher rank could perform greater abilities. This is something we need to understand; we must properly comprehend the Bible. Jesus came to defeat the devil. However, although their ranks have been stripped, they have only been disarmed, not completely stripped of their abilities. Therefore, we must recognize that they are still exercising their powers today. When we look at the Bible, we come to a conclusion: it is the devil who led humans to sin. This is not mentioned in the first or second chapters, but it clearly appears in the third chapter. As we observe the third chapter, I will conclude with the Book of Revelation. Today, we will start with the introduction, which is Genesis 3:1.

Genesis 3:1 begins with, Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. The serpent said to the woman, Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'? The serpent is speaking; can snakes really talk? Originally, a snake doesn’t speak; it doesn’t talk. The serpent is a significant figure, as it is through this that humanity fell into sin, leading to the need for atonement through Jesus Christ. 

In Revelation 12:9, it is stated, So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. This ties back to how Revelation 20:10 concludes the story.

At the beginning, the deceiving devil is thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are. There, the great powers of the devil's followers, the angels, will be tormented day and night forever. This is the end of the one who caused sin in Genesis 3, and it concludes in chapter 20. Therefore, Genesis chapters 1 and 2 speak of life, and then Revelation chapters 21 and 22 talk about the end of life. The Lord came as the giver of life. In between, the one who caused sin was the devil. He came to atone for our sins. Hallelujah! So, from Genesis 3 to Revelation 20, that is the story. Thus, alongside atonement, what we must definitely consider is the destruction of the devil. We need to understand the devil. So, what is the devil, what are demons, and what is the serpent? We need to understand what kind of existence the devil is, what he does to humans, and why he tempts humanity. What is the role of Satan?

We need to understand exactly what work is. What kind of being was he originally? There are many who claim that he was a human without a spirit before Adam. Was he a disbeliever among the dead? Was he an angel? These are questions we need to consider. We must also understand when Satan was created, how he fell, and when he was cast out of heaven. Not only that, we need to know how Satan operated during the Old Testament. There are only five instances mentioned about Satan, which is quite limited. We will study all of this later. What about the time of Jesus, the age of the Holy Spirit, and how that being operates in the last days, especially the one who strikes with the number 66? We need to know all of this. What kind of beings are his minions, the demons, and what activities are they involved in? What about the serpent? What kind of being is it, and what does it do? How can we cast out demons? When we talk about the blood of Jesus, how does it help in casting out demons?

What role does Satan play, and how will he ultimately meet his final fate? This is something you need to study thoroughly; it won't be accomplished in a day. So, I will take my time with this. It's not something that's taught well, so focus on what I'm going to share with you. 

The reason Jesus Christ came was to destroy the works of Satan and render him useless. Hallelujah! He exists, but he is made useless. However, in the end, he must exist so that our free will can be activated. God allowed him to remain as a choice between good and evil. How can we exercise free will if there is no evil? God has left him there for a reason. But for us who believe, he is rendered useless. 

So, we need to understand this method. In the end, we will overcome him with knowledge of ourselves and the enemy.

We are all sinners, and Jesus cast out demons in just one minute during His ministry. However, we must understand demons accurately; otherwise, we cannot succeed. I pray that we become blessed saints who enjoy the purpose of Jesus coming to this earth by winning the spiritual battle against demons. Holy God, thank You. Why do the devil, Satan, and the ancient serpent exist? If they must exist, how can we render them useless? Through the Bible, let us know the truth. They led us to sin, and because of that, Jesus had to endure punishment by dying on the cross. Help us to recognize this and to triumph in the battle against them. I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
