Revelation Message 57 The Source of Sin and Pride- Satan Bound for 1000 years

The elimination of pride in the Kingdom. Satan will be bound for a thousand years. Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28 give us some information of the source of sin and its worst aspect pride.Man will be rightly related to God
Universal peace between men
Animals will return to their Edenic state
Renovation of the heavens and earth
Elimination of infant mortality
Minimum human longevity is one hundred years
Death in the Kingdom is limited to unbelievers
The incentive for sin will be greatly reduced
Many of the effects of the curse will be removed
Warfare and inter-human calamity will be removed
The Church Age saints as well as Tribulation and OT saints will have glorified bodies
God will control the entire government from Jerusalem

Most of the exact nature of the effects of the Fall will be removed from the earth at that time. When Satan lured Eve into disobeying God she let sin and decay into the arena of time and space. What exactly was this sin that Satan imparted to Eve and has become endemic to mankind; even celebrated. It is pride; the source of all sin and that which is an abomination to God. We may say it is not in us but God knows otherwise.
Lucifer was the most anointed cherub prior to his prideful ambition to assume God’s role.
Isaiah 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Received From Above

Reflections A man can possess nothing, except it be given him from heaven. (John 3:27) John the Baptist was, of course, referring to the things of God. It is certainly possible for people to possess much through their own efforts, and to possess things that are outside of the will of God. John is saying that what is of God must come from God. Paul the apostle said the same thing: “Don’t you know your own selves that unless Christ is in you — you are a reprobate?” (II Cor. 13:5) A reprobate is a person who is of no …

One Mediator

REFLECTIONS For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Tim 2:5) A, “mediator,” is a proxy; one who connects two parties. Jesus Christ is the sole Mediator between the believer and God. If Christ is in us, then by His very presence in us, we are joined to both Him and the Father. Now, notice what this means: It means that there must NEVER be introduced anyone or anything into our relationship with God who acts as ANOTHER mediator. There are no mediators in addition to Christ – there is no …

OUR WAY OR GOD’S WAY

Moses learned the hard way that relying on our own understanding and strength is a mistake.   Exodus 2:11-25 (KJV) 11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews …
