During the
closing of this age, there is a great deal more activity from the unseen
world than we have seen in times past. We all know that there has been much
demon activity in the world, but nothing compared to what is to break upon
us in the days ahead.
The mass media,
such as Video games, TV, movies, magazines, books, etc, constantly bombard
the public with occult themes. (including our children) Witchcraft and demon
possession are popular subjects in Hollywood. The devil is preaching his
message, and the sponsors and the consumers are paying for it. They have
used up all the old stories about vampires, werewolves, etc, and have
invented some new ones. U.F.O.s have occupied the public mind for years.
Devil worship, hypnotism, and black magic can be found in some strange and
so-called “respectable” places. The world is being prepared for the
coming invasion from outer space – but it is not aliens from another
planet, but demonic powers that are going to invade this world in greater
numbers than ever before.
But little is
known about the other side of the coin. “They that be with us are more
than they that be with them.” So
said Elisha in II Kings 6:16. If only our eyes could be opened, and we would
see that the Angel of the Lord is encamped round about us, with horses and
chariots of fire.
Following is an
outline with scriptures, concerning the nature and work of angels. I suggest
you print this page out and
keep it handy as a study guide.
The battle of
the ages is about to begin. The angelic hosts, the armies of Heaven, are
girding up for the great conflict. Heaven is nearer, the veil is thinner,
and many, many saints will soon have angelic encounters. Glory!
