Peter 2: THE WICKED,  JUDGEMENT, UNGODLY OF OLD TIME.

 

If the majority of our leaders had God's Truth and His Law in their minds, then the majority would make righteous judgments in our justice system, removing the evil from among us. Since the majority are deceived today, hence the state of affairs with all the evil around us. Our local representatives serve as one method of 'say' where we can make some difference, as the people of Great Britain still have that elective power, and our representative's voting records on the issues are the best way to 'cull' those who have 'double-standards'. At the same time, know that our Father has given control to Satan during this time, but it doesn't just mean 'laying down' and playing' dead. Stand up for what's right!  Make a difference!  Be a little salty! After all, there is a spiritual war going on.

 

Isa 14:7   The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

     These verses are all during Christ's Millennium reign upon earth, so we're jumping forward in time here. This 'quiet' and 'singing' happens because Satan and his host are cast into the pit when Christ returns to claim all the kingdoms of earth. Most have read or heard Psalms 98 with...

 

The 98th Psalm: "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD...”

 

 

... Is really about this event here, as the last verse of that Psalm reveals God coming to earth in righteous judgment. This time of spiritual joy is also written of at the last part of...

 

Rev.18: THE JUDGEMENT OF THE GREAT CITY. Babylon’s judgement.

 

And the beginning of Rev.19. THE FINAL HEAVENLY UTTERANCES.        

 

Isa 14:8   Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.'

     Do you remember 'the tree of knowledge of good and evil' which existed in God's Garden Eden? God uses 'trees' as analogies in many places within His Word, as I gave many Scripture references to the 'tree' in my Genesis studies. This verse is referring to Lucifer, i.e. Satan, as the one who is 'laid down', because he's cast into the pit, so he isn't able to 'come up against us' at that time during Christ's Millennium reign. Let's turn to Ezekiel 31 to get a clearer picture:

 

Ezek 31:3   Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

     Here we go with 'the Assyrian' again. Not too far back in this study of Isaiah we came to know this 'Assyrian' as a 'type' for Satan of the future. Likewise, as this reference here in Ezekiel with the Assyrian, it was historical also. But we are going to see some 'markers' that don't fit the historical Assyrian who took the 'house of Israel' into captivity, and who also came up against Jerusalem.
     This 'cedar in Lebanon' is referring to Satan when he was a good cherub, before his fall. His 'fair branches' 'of a high stature' shows his position over the other trees in that time 'of old'.

 

Ezek 31:4   The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

     These 'waters' represent that 'River' written of back in...
