Christ was confronted by Satan himself during His pre-ministry, 40-day, spiritual warfare training session in the desert. The Bible reveals He was "led by the Spirit ... to be tempted by the devil" (Matt 4:1), and He proved to the enemy that He was ALMIGHTY, referring to Himself as "the Lord your God" (v.7 and 10). His chief weapon? The Word of God, as He repeatedly reminded the devil of that which had been written.
He resisted Satan and the devil did flee. There's our example.
Hell's angels: a true story
Satan must have been terribly discouraged after this bout with Jesus. He had waited a lifetime for that face-off. He had been tormented for ages by that "seed of the woman" issue which God SPOKE forth in Genesis 3:15. The Lord told him directly: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed (children of the darkness) and her seed (Jesus); He (Jesus) shall bruise your head Wholesale MLB Hoodies , and you (Satan) shall bruise His heel." Bruise Jesus' heel? Painful but not lethal. Bruise Satan's head? John 3:8 says, "the Son of God came to destroy the works of the evil one." Ouch! Satan had no choice but to devise a plan to halt the coming of this Redeemer of humankind.
Ever wonder why Satan unleashed his sexually deviant angels to procreate with the "daughters of men" in Genesis 6 (Jude 6-7)? That's right, he would impregnate their women in an attempt to infiltrate "her seed."
Inconceivable? No, very clever, really. He covered all the bases. Too weird for you? Never heard this taught in Sunday school, I'll bet. Weird but, please hear me out.
Yes Wholesale MLB Shirts , Satan took God at His Word. God said it and the devil believed it. Curious about the offspring from these unthinkable unions? (Hang on. This is where it gets weird.) Genesis 6:4 refers to them as the Nephilim, soulless or fallen giants. The word "giant" means "a huge being (not necessarily human) of great size and strength." Today we think only of a person of great stature. Though the Scripture refers to them as being "heroes of old, men of renown," God saw them, and the entire planet, as ripe for judgment.
Giants are mentioned in the following verses of Scripture. Check 'em out: Gen 14:15; 15:13-21; Deut 2:10-12,22; Josh 14:15;15:13; 21:11; 1 Sam 17:4; 2 Sam 21:16-22. We can trace the stories we've read of half men Wholesale MLB Jerseys , half monsters back to Greek mythology? centaurs, the gorgons slain by Perseus, those types of grotesque creatures. But I contend that they had their origin in the antediluvian (pre-flood) days of Genesis 6, the race resulting from this demonhuman fraternization.
Remember when Moses sent out the 12 spies? What was their frightening report? "GIANTS IN THE LAND!" The word there was "Nephilim." Their fear resulted in 38 years of wandering in the desert. When Joshua came along, God's instructions were to go to Canaan and wipe out all human life (or anything remotely resembling such?). Was He cleansing the gene pool? (For those who don't think angels can take on beautiful manly forms, the Scripture is full of examples to the contrary, from Abraham in Genesis 18:2 Wholesale Hats ,22, to the men of Sodom, Genesis 19:5,to Jacob, Genesis 32:24,30, to Joshua in Genesis 23:13 and 15. Mark 12:25 is the usual prooftext for the asexuality of angels Wholesale Hoodies , but this verse merely says that, at the resurrection, the newly risen will be like the angels in Heaven, neither marrying or being given in ing about being ungendered).
An interesting note: Dr. John E. Mack, professor of psychiatry at The Cambridge Hospital, Harvard Medical School is a contributor to over 150 articles in professional (peer-reviewed) journals and a former Pulitzer Prize winner. He claims to have been involved in nearly 100 cases of alleged UFO-abductions personally, and has shocked the professional community by declaring that he believes these beings may be real and that they appear to have an agenda to develop a hybrid race!* (Probably not THAT shocked. Apparently Wholesale Shirts , some REALLY smart people in science and government are REALLY concerned about this matter). At a professional conference on abductions at M.I.T., Dr. Mack asked;, "If what these abductees are saying is happening to them isn't happening, then what is?"**
Could all this UFO stuff involve a return to the mysterious "Days of Noah" referred to by Jesus in Matthew 24:37 that would precede His return? Some seem to think so. Perhaps a society of giant freaks would not impress modern man as much as reports of little green kidnappers in flying saucers doing body probes from a mother-ship. Satan knows mankind very well. *John E. Mack, Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens, Ballantine Books, NY Wholesale Jerseys , 1994, p.411.
