My Beloved Brother Steve continues:
Choice.
The Spiritual Landscape therefore changes as choices are made and as strategies are played out during the various segments of the war. We can see this same fluid interplay in the conflict by simply observing history:
When Heaven’s highest-ranking Angelic Class being (the Covering Cherub – Satan) decided to declare war on YHVH, it changed the setting of the heavens from peace to war. When the Serpent approached Eve, the heavenly war bled over into the earth changing its setting from peace to war. Heaven and earth were now engaged in the spiritual conflict that had been instigated by the inferior king (Satan).
When Jesus came to earth and then entered into the domain of darkness through the Cross, He stripped Satan of the spiritual authority he had held unlawfully (death) since the days of Adam’s transaction. This created a tipping point in favor of the Kingdom of God that forever changed the setting of the war in the spiritual realm.
When, in the 4th century, the kingdom of darkness devised the religious apparatus called the Church to replace and control the living organism of Jesus’ highly dynamic and fluid followers, what He called His ekklésia (“those called out and to” – Him), it changed the spiritual setting of the war in the earth for God’s Man.
Through its sophisticated strategies and tactics, this apparatus positioned itself between Jesus and His Man, giving the inferior king the ability to leverage God’s Man against Jesus while making Man think he was serving and worshipping God.
So, in the name of Jesus, God’s Man was opposing Jesus without knowing it.
This strategy proved effective for 1,600 years until The Seventh Angel exposed the delusion as part of its Sounding. When God released the Seventh Angel to Sound in June of 1982, it created a tipping point in favor of the Kingdom of God that forever changed the setting of the war in the earth just as the Cross had forever changed the setting of the war in the spiritual realm.
All barriers have now been torn down and removed so that any who wish to see as Jesus sees may freely join Him. God’s Man is now fully integrated WITH Jesus in both dimensions of the conflict, in the heavens and in the earth, just as the Father had envisioned before time began, which YHVH then decreed.
All that remains is for God’s Man to choose to learn how to rule WITH Jesus as an Elohim in the fullness of His Nature and Character, and then Jesus will take it from there.
This brief look-back on the history of the conflict illustrates the fluid conditions of the war and its setting in both the spiritual and earthly realms. This is what Jesus allows us to see and this is what He engages us in WITH Him. And, as He does, we quickly come to realize that Jesus is not behind nor is He reacting to anything. He’s so far ahead of the curve that the inferior king is scrambling to simply hold ground.
“For we do indeed walk around in a complete circuit within the realm and sphere of the physical flesh as proof of our ability to make war and to engage as a soldier in spiritual warfare, not coming down from the higher plane to the lower plane of the physical flesh.
“For the tools, implements and offensive weapons of our military service, campaigns, expeditions and warfare are not fleshly nor do they pertain to typical human behavior or base physical desires, but instead are strong, mighty and
powerful as the God, the Creator and Owner of all things, moves toward the goal and destination of demolishing and destroying the fortified military strongholds and fortresses, “of reasonings, thoughts and personal opinions that carry weight and affect personal behavior.
And leaving nothing standing or in good working order, we yank down every high and elevated barrier and bulwark that lifts up and exalts the self against the knowledge of the God that is gained by personal experience; and we take captive subjugating the totality of each and every thought and purpose of the mind and what it produces to the obedience of what is heard from the Christ speaking. “And, because the necessary preparations have been completed, at the time when the condition is met to fill to individual capacity your submission and obedience in response to what has been heard, we possess readiness to vindicate and dispense the appropriate justice to each and every part of the totality of contrary hearing that refuses to take heed or to listen properly.” (2 Corinthians 10: 3 – 6)
As it has been the responsibility of past generations to deal with the Spiritual Landscape of their time WITH Jesus, so it is our turn to now deal with the Spiritual Landscape that has been assigned to our time WITH Jesus. At present, we’re dealing with the Coronavirus Pandemic. But, our setting is much more expansive than just the Virus as the following table illustrates through some of the key events that have occurred over the period from 1960 – 2020:
This is how the Spiritual Landscape between the two kingdoms is taking shape in our time. As the table shows, Astarte launched a flurry of activity in the 1960s that appeared to give the kingdom of darkness the advantage. It dominated the Landscape for 22 years but stalled out the moment the Seventh Angel was released to Sound his Trumpet.
Jesus then took over and began to dominate the Landscape. The kingdom of darkness that seemed to be dictating terms was then driven to panic as it desperately attempted to regain some measure of control through its frantic coronavirus reaction. This took Satan out of time, which shifted the advantage to the Kingdom of God.
What’s fascinating about this entire dynamic is that this listing is but a sampling of events that Jesus has allowed just one person to see. Image what the Landscape would look like if what He has allowed others to see were added.
The fear and panic created by the coronavirus scare would evaporate in an instance. Jesus would be seen for who He is as would Satan along with his feeble Pandemic Strategy.
