And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought

[dpr112yme]

So, let's take Matthew 7:21 ""Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Jesus' Father, who is in heaven, is also in "ouranois" (οὐρανοῖς). This word connotes "air, heaven, sky." the heights above, the upper regions . So I could take this to mean that 'not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is 'at work on Earth'.

 

[dpr112yme]

And if the war which broke out between Michael and his angels and the dragon and his angels occurred in Heaven but not in the Kingdom of Heaven, that may mean that it could be done on Earth.

 

[Vastator]

Then maybe earth here and now is heaven?

 

[dpr112yme]

And from my limited knowledge, it would seem that God would prefer Michael's over the dragon's ways.

 

[dpr112yme]

Then maybe earth here and now is heaven?

or/and part of heaven, but not the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

[dpr112yme]

Then maybe earth here and now is heaven?

or/and part of heaven, but not the Kingdom of Heaven.

which would mean that the people will have to choose between being an angel of Michael of being an angel of the dragon, here on Earth.

 

[dpr112yme]

I am a person, not an angel, in the baby knowledge sense.

 

[dpr112yme]

As far as Christ's saints are concerned while this war between Michael and the dragon with their respective angels are concerned, I am not sure.

 

[dpr112yme]

So, let's hope that whoever wins, whichever side wins, that they can proclaim the Name of Jesus as Lord without any shame.

 

[dpr112yme]

you wanna know something really really strange? I have met more adulterers and self abusers that can claim the Name of Jesus as Lord than I have with 'upright' people who are neither adulterers nor self abusers who can claim the Name of Jesus as Lord.

Heavens war (Mental war) the kingdom is within Luke 17:21. It was installed into a human (adam) with breath Genesis 2. The battle rages between powers and principalities Ephesians 6:12.

 

[dpr112yme]

So if you are hearing a 'rumor' that God is only for the upright and clean people, don't believe that lie. Nor side with that lie..

 

[dpr112yme]

So in Modern terms, if Michael was an angel on Earth who is going to rise to defend the children of Daniel's people, that may mean that there will come a time when anti-Semitism will cease.

 

[dpr112yme]

However, anti-Semitism, which is a form of 'verbal hatred' is a newly formed thing in the world.

 

[dpr112yme]

However, anti-Semitism, which is a form of 'verbal hatred' is a newly formed thing in the world.

Which may mean that the concept of equality across the board arose from somewhere. The U.S. Constitution does say something about equality.

 

[dpr112yme]

So another question would be, is it for a defense against violence or is it a turning away from evil unto good? Because even though there may be a lack of violence, there may be a height of idolatry.

 

[dpr112yme]

And I would have to presume that if devils were thinking of this, that they would all conclude that every form of knowledge towards idolatry would be the knowledge which prevents a complete world take over.

 

[dpr112yme]

Freedom is good to exercise, they say, when you have to choose between so many sexual possibilities each given day.

 

[dpr112yme]

"Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols." Revelation 2:20

"And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not." Revelation 2:21
