But why, one might ask, did The Christ cast these evil demons down to the vicinity of men's abode, on earth? Well, long before this event, God sent His instructions for life, and later still, His Spirit covenant for acquiring a Kingdom of spiritual kings to reign from heaven, for a further spirit creating of a numberless "great crowd". (Rev 7:9). To spiritually create these kings in loyalty, God allowed a proving, and a work of refining them (Rev 17:14), using satanic opposition through peoples (persecutions). (Dan 11:33-35). Supporters of political regimes give evidence of admiration of their works by participation in and/or supportive acceptance of this present political "wild beast" image, and receive a name known by the cryptic number "666"; and is the mark of God's rejection of them. For demons can only demon-strate within demon-cracy. (Rev 14:9-11).
THE LAST EMPLOYERS OF OPPRESSION.
There will not be true lasting peace on earth until oppressive demon influence over people has been made to lie down in death. According to the words of God in Isaiah 14:7,8, rejoicing in peace will begin when the exalted "cedars of Lebanon" (oppressive individuals there) have been cut down with "fire". (Zech 11:1). Many of these exalted ones have been cut down in recent times, particularly since God opened up their "doors" in 1982. Therefore, and in fulfilment, it will be some time after that event that the 'cries of rejoicing' will be heard from Lebanon, as a benchmark and indication for peace everywhere on earth for those without the mark 666. (See explanation of "spilled kernels" on Page 11/10/83).
The demon "king of Babylon" ruling over political usurpers has already begun to lie down in deathly weakness (inactivity). (Isaiah Ch.14). The Ethiopian "fire" of famine has laid many down in death, and is soon to be similarly followed by many more out of Egypt's coming drought. (Isaiah Ch.18 & 19).
"Babylon's" rebel sons (her political sects, idols, and so-called do-gooders) are now exercising their opposing 'will' against the anger of God, by 'bandage dressing'. (Rev 11:18). "…but they blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains and for their ulcers, and they did not repent of their works". (Rev 16:11).
