Satan's Machinations Part 2

In observing Satan's system at work, I see how his system of government appears to be a way to manipulate time almost.

Again, Satan is a master manipulator of this material world and the things in it. So ultimately he cannot disturb God's timetable because God is spirit and truth. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is past, present, and future. Satan can only create a weak version of this on earth but unfortunately what he has created on earth is effective.

He cannot bend time to his will but he seems to be able to manipulate people into following a pattern of preparedness into his will.

In my previous blog I described the three branches of Satan's government which follows his tried and true triumvirate of man, woman, and child. Which are respectively, the church system, the occult fraternal system, and Islam. These can also be respectively referred to as Satan's version of past, present, and future.

The only problem with this is that Satan's scheme has to coexist within God's time table. So Satan creates the next best thing. All of his realities must exist simultaneously.

As to how the Church system relates to Satan's past schematic, the Catholic church bears the historical elements of religious history. The Catholic church picked up the mantle of Jewish history and also incorporated the going pagan practices of the day while also eliminating all competition at that time. The Catholics in essence grabbed human history and molded it in their hands. Ultimately when people look into the past in any other way other than scientific, they reference the available information locked away in the recesses of the Catholic church.

Satan's present is handled by the wildly structured occult fraternities. The current events of the day such as media, financial, governmental, warring, and other things that stay on the minds of people are handled by his secular branch of government. People are pacified by the things that this group bangs out. These occult fraternities are varied because their purposes are not the same and differ by location as well. Ultimately they all have the same goal of keeping people busy with things that have nothing to do with their salvation. We see these fraternities in everything we do but due to the fact that most people live in the moment, we don't see it. These fraternities don't live in the moment. They do things today that will benefit their goals three generations from now. Scary stuff.

Satan's future system is handled by Islam. Now this is not to say that Islam will be the new world religion or the system. This is not how Satan's system works. Satan cannot control time so he has to have something that can stand in the psyche of humans as a prophet. So Islam is based off of the prophet Mohammad. We all know this. Islam is now the largest member religion on Earth. Its existence is completely a mind trick for people. It will not be completely accepted and that is the key and exactly what Satan wants to happen.

The reality that Satan sets up, his past,present, and future scenario, are all an elaborate ploy to mislead and misguide the total human race.

He is successfully compromising the material world as we know it. This is why it is important to remember how to access our spiritual qualities so that we have something that is not tainted by Satan's meddling. Due to the decadence of today's advancements, spiritual qualities are not seen as effective and almost like a wast of time. It are those spiritual qualities that humans will have an abundance of versus anything material that we can gain.

Satan has gained control of so much but he will never gain control of the Holy Spirit or God's Love or Jesus sacrifice.

Satan's Machinations Part 1

The better mouse trap!

It is in our time that the largest battle for the human mind ensues.

It is not for our flesh but for our spirit. Humans are amazing creatures being able to manipulate the material world to an extent and utilize the spiritual world as well.

This may be why we are so unique within this macrocosm.

Although quite uniquely made in God's image one angel didn't exactly feel we were up to snuff. This angel being Lucifer.

Lucifer was created and arrayed with beauty and knowlege and had the privilege of being in heaven and also to partake in the greatest creation of all time. This would be the creation of this material world we know as the universe.

Lucifer, being as fabulous as I'm sure he thought himself to be, was assigned the job of serving these very simple mud creatures by teaching them how to manipulate this physical world of sorts. Besides he was the best angel to do so because of his enlightened state.

He probably thought that this work would be totally demeaning due to being so fabulous. So devised a plan. A plan that would knock mankind off of an easier course but one that would ultimately get back on track.

Satan was ultimately kicked out of heaven and sent here to torment mankind until Judgement Day.

How does he do what he does on earth? How do individuals like me and you fall into his trappings? What are his trappings? How does the machinations come into it?

Well that is what I want to discuss. How does Satan ensnare people to leave God?

Let us take a mouse trap for instance. It is simple. Food based distraction. Most mice are always hungry and that is what gets them.

Humans on the other hand have many desires and for a lot of people it is a little more complicated than cheese. We desire things, material things. Like cars, houses, even more mundain things such as water and food.

Humans should know that ultimately what will save us from Satan's clutches is our perspective on our spiritual wellness. We should also know that we are a unique combo of material and spiritual beings. Satan's job is to make us concentrate totally on our material existances and ignore the spiritual needs of ourselves.

Satan would like us to think that there is nothing spiritual about us. He would like us to think that we are what he says we are. A useless lump of clay. Sadly a lot of humans stop at what they are materially worth instead of looking toward all of the spiritual benefits that can be attained. In essence we cannot see the rest of the open trap-free floor for concentrating on that one piece of cheese.

So how does Satan do this specifically? Well we gotta look. The interesting thing is that his activities can be found because he "MUST" use the material world to control us. This was evident in the garden of eden where he used a snake.

Satan cannot use the Holy Spirit to do anything. It is holy and he is not.

So what in the material world can we attribute to him? Consider the meaning of schemes or machinations. They both mean plans done in secret. So Satan's activity is in the material world but secretive activity.

We are not supposed to know. That is the whole point. Should we attempt to find out? Heck yeah!

Another part of Satan's mouse trap is that he doesn't just use one type of trap. For humans you must use a number of different types to keep us busy. One extremely useful trap is that of group think.

It is kind of like how all of those lemmings throw themselves over the clif. You would think one of em would stop and go, "Hey wait a minute!". Not likely.

If Satan can direct most of mankind down a path, he will direct almost all of them.

Now there are three main branches I have discovered that Satan uses. In fact he has used the same three for centuries. If you look at a lot of the ancient pagan religions, they often pay homage to three types of dieties. Of course they are not all exactly the same but the main players are usually similar.

It is the man, the woman, and the child.

In the egyptian mythology it is Osiris, Isis, and Horus. They are very prominent within the structure of their society and also other ancient societies.

This next part is probably pretty controversial because I am calling some people out because I am going to bring it up to date. Satan is in control of this world at this time according to most biblical scholars that have looked over Revelation. His system could not have changed all that much. As a matter of fact it is world wide and we are at the very beginnings of its world wide influence.

The reason why this mouse trap is so effective is because it encompasses all of the humans activity on the earth. The only way you can break free from it is if you tap into your spiritual relationship with God and attempt to live by those standards against all that your flesh tells you because the whole "material" world has been compromised.

OK here are the big three.

The first one is the system of Catholocism and its liberal counterpart protestantism. This is the religious branch of Satan's government. It seems the closer we get to God the further away He seems. Most religions run in circles to maintain itself versus the members in them.

The second one is the system of occult fraternities. This is the secretive part of society. The part no one talks about. Also this is the secular branch of Satan's government. They do the dirty work of running governments, educating, changing laws, drugs, porn, energy crisis, etc, you name it they do it.

The third is Islam. Islam has been cultivated in the heart of the Arab countries and now seems to be rearing its head. It has always been there but now seems to be part of more mainstream discussions. Islam is currently attempting to work on its PR but still maintains one of the most fervent adherents on this planet. This is Satan's prophetic branch of government.

These elements, just like back in the day with Osiris, Isis, and Horus, are all connected at the top but maintain very different existences. Since all of these elements have grown and developed, the tentacles of what we could be caught up in are numerous and dangerous.

As you can see, Satan's mouse trap has control over much of this material world and is getting ready to sqeeze to see how much he can get us to squeal. I for one am dependent on the lovely promises within the bible to save mankind from the horrors. I have no doubt in my Lord to have the power to save.

The Material World and Satan's Machinations

This seems like an awsomely big subject but I am going to try my hand at explaining what has been swirling through my mind on this very thing.

Machinations is defined as an act of plotting or a conspiracy.

Material world is defined as all things not of the spiritual world or fleshly.

To understand why Satan's machinations exist I guess it would be good to reflect upon the character of Satan himself.

We can determine Satan's character from a few sources. The Bible, the Koran, and other less popular books of the time such as the book of Enoch.

The first notice of Satan in the bible is in the garden of Eden and the conversation he had with Eve. To paraphrase what occurred, we can say he offered Eve fruit that would make her "like God" knowing good and bad. This simple statement of Satan gives us incite into the creature and what makes him tick. Recognizing this will allow us simple humans to be aware of where this may be evident in our lives and avoiding the same line of reasoning.

Let us look a little deeper into the creature. It is good to also imagine Satan as a dangerous animal like a lion, shark, or alligator that we are discovering his reactionary tendencies.

Satan was born or created into an angel that was beautiful, full of light, and intelligence. Ezekiel 28:17 brings this out. The interesting thing is that God saw fit for Satan to be care taker of mud.

Think about it this way. You are given a fully paid for home, car, expense account, and education of the very best quality but you have the task of being a sheep herder. Surely you benefactor has gone off his rocker. "The old man has finally lost it", you would probably mutter to yourself.

In comparison we are like the mud that Satan was assigned to look after and teach God's ways. He resented the task as is always represented in his interactions with God in regards to us. Consider Job.

Satan was assigned as an expert on the material world. If humans were the amazing material creations of God then Satan was like the holder of the material world's knowledge that was supposed to be dispersed among mankind in an orderly God ordained fashion. Satan wanted different.

The book of Enoch discusses how the angels from above taught humans about various material world concepts such as math, science, agriculture, and astronomy. All of these things would have more than likely been apart of the human condition anyway. Unfortunately Satan perverted it with his first words to Eve, "You will be like God".

Satan has no choice but to do what he was designed to do. He has no choice but to follow God's original plan of dispersing material world knowledge BUT he omits that it is God ordained. He would rather humans focus on their own greatness as he does himself.

That simple statement of being like God gives him away. It is a comparative statement. Remember, Satan is a master of the material world. Comparisons are strictly used in a material world environment. Comparisons are also the root of human problems.

Think about the 10 commandments. 1) You must not have any other gods against my face, 2)You must not create an image of anything and bow to it. 3)Do not use God's name in vain. 4) Remember the sabbath. 5) Honor your mother and father 6) Don't murder 7) Don't commit adultery 8) Don't steal 9)Don't testify falsely against your brother 10) Don't desire things that don't belong to you.

At the root of these is our human tendency to compare ourselves, or what we have, against some ideal that has what we want to be or has what we want. This is the heart of sin. It is rooted in this material world which is being manipulated by the expert, Satan himself.

The most interesting part is that Satan is a spirit creature who can never truly be a part of this material world. This is where his jealousy lies. He is hysterically envious of humans but alas, he has never loved us. This is why in revelation we see an image of the beast, but not the beast itself.

Satan's machinations are a direct result of him being able to manipulate the material world but he cannot use holy spirit. We know that Jesus is able to pour holy spirit upon us and use holy spirit to influence things spiritually. Satan on the other hand cannot because he is locked in this material world. So how does he influence people?

I have a theory. Jesus is to holy spirit as Satan is to secrecy. Satan has to use the material world or humans to have an influence within the confines of this material world. It makes sense because talking snakes can only go so far. Humans are at the top of the food chain in this world so Satan is going to use the most influential in this material world. This being the case we have to point to all positions of power as being a possible haven for Satanic activity.

You are probably thinking, what the heck are you talking about Chris? Well I know it is a bit surprising but why on earth would Satan pick a no named, isolated dreamer as someone he would directly try to manipulate. The payoff is very little. Again we have to keep in mind that this is a material world and Satan is a material genius.

The places of leadership have the most effective locations for Satanic activity. Open discussion of possible Satanic or even unchristian activities are not well accepted by people so if someone is practicing anything like that, it is best to keep it on the hush. Thus secrets are kept. From this are born societies of secret keepers.

Secret societies such as the Freemasons or Rosecrucians are accepted as clubs to a degree. Some find that these clubs house more sinister plans. I fall into the latter group.

The members of the groups don't necessarily know what goes on in the higher echelons of the organization. I see these groups kind of like this. There are many parts of a car that make it a car. The exterior of a car hides the type of engine that runs it. The car may look innocent enough but the engine may make it a monster on the roads. You just won't know it till someone decides to rev the engine. I don't think these secret societies have decided to rev their engine yet.

If we were to look at just the leadership within the US presidency over the US history, we would discover that Freemsonry is represented over 80%. A deeper look into secret societies starts to reveal a network of people that regard esoteric and ancient teachings in high esteem. You don't have to look far to determine that it is definitely a machination of the devil. Remember the definition.

Within the structure of these many groups lies the key to how Satan manipulates the greater material world. On a personal level though we are manipulated because of our inherited sin. We often are persuaded by our eyes and our desires because we want this or that. That is our material tendency arising. Sadly Satan is ready for us to want to indulge in our material desires.

We must remember though that there is nothing we can build upon in this material world that will help us in our spiritual pursuits.

I strike a difference between simple materialism and the material world. Materialism has a monetary connotation. The material world is anything that holds a value within this material world. We can sometimes value things but we also value people, relationships, class distinctions, or family ties. God cares not about who your parents are but he cares about how you treat your parents. God does not care about how much money you have but he would rather you use your funds to help your fellow man.

The material world is not intrinsically valuable to God but conciencious humans are. Humans have the distinction of being able to utilize both the material world and the spiritual to an extent. This may be the unique and wonderful thing about us and why Jesus found us so precious.

We are not JUST mud as Satan thinks and considers. We were valued enough for God to give his only begotten Son on our behalf.

Satan continues to lie to us by having us focus on the material aspects of us and calling truth science, math, and calculable elements. This is not truth. It is a distraction from the real truth.

The real truth is God's love, ultimately. As long as God loves us, Satan will always be proved a liar.
