David’s Heir		13-07-17.ES13-52 /

David’s Heir: Cosmic Two Evil: The Satanic Plan for World Rulership; Saul’s Decline through the Cosmic Systems: His Disobedience following the Battle of Amalek, Dressed Down by Samuel, 1 Sam 15:19, 23; Warnings against Spiritual Revolution, Eccl 8:2–3; Isa 5:20–21; Inversion of Thought, Rev 2:4–5; Summary of Evil: 10 Manifestations; Satanic Strategy for a Global Dictatorship in the Tribulation: Economic: Rev 13:16–17; Religious: 17:3 
15.	Saul was ordered by the Lord to attack the Amalekite King Agag and his army at Amalek, to execute the entire civilian population, plus their drove of oxen, flock of sheep, train of camels, and pace of asses (1 Samuel 15:3).
16.	Saul disobeyed by allowing King Agag to live and selectively sparing some of the sheep and oxen.  This rebellion brought an immediate divine response through Samuel:
1 Samuel 15:19 -	“Why did you not obey the voice of the Lord, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord?”
16.	Revolution and antiauthority are considered by God to be on a par with divination and idolatry; each is said to be evil is this quote by Samuel to King Saul:
1 Samuel 15:23 -	“Revolution is equivalent to the sin of divination and antiauthority is equivalent to idolatry.  Because you have rejected the Word of God, He has also rejected you from being king.”
17.	We have always emphasized the fact that revolution is antibibical.  It is a manifestation of Satan’s plan of evil.
Ecclesiastes 8:2 -	I say, “Obey the command of the king because of the oath before God.
v. 3 -	“Do not be in a hurry to enter into revolution against him.  Do not join in that evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.” 
18.	Evil concepts derived from anthropocentric thinking are developed into human norms and standards which are called “good.”
Isaiah 5:20 -	Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; those who claim their darkness to be the light and true light they classify as darkness; those who pronounce bitterness to be sweetness while calling sweet bitter.
v. 21 -	Woe to those who are wise in their own estimation and who are intelligent in their own opinion.
19.	When a believer’s soul degenerates to the point that his conscience perverts moral standards, he considers himself among the anointed, i.e., the smartest person in the room.
20.	The soul inversion of moral, establishment, and doctrinal standards into immoral or amoral views of each is the final stage of one’s spiritual decline: reverse-process reversionism.
21.	This is characterized by the total influence of evil which substitutes Lucifer’s plan of “evil” for God’s plan of “good,” culminating in a divorcement from reality.
22.	What was once considered good is now considered evil and vice versa.  This is referred to by the Lord in His evaluation of the seven churches of Asia, the first of which was Ephesus:
Revelation 2:4 -	‘I hold this against you, that you have forsaken your most important love.
v. 5 -	‘Therefore recall to mind from what state you have fallen, and change your mind, and execute the most important production; otherwise if you do not I will come to you in discipline, and I will remove your lampstand [ lucn…a (luchnía) ].’
23.	“Lampstand” refers to the local church as the source of Light in a client nation.  Its removal refers to the decline or removal of a client nation from history due to reverse process reversionism of believers.
Summary of Evil:
1.	Evil is a condition of the soul developed through volitional decisions, which selects false ideas, concepts, and principles as a guide to life.
2.	Evil is the policy of Lucifer.  In man, it is a system of thinking based on that policy.
3.	Since the plan of God is based on a policy of grace, then the expression of evil is characterized by its total denunciation of grace.
4.	The actions of those with evil thoughts in their souls express the satanic policy of evil.
5.	Consequently, evil can be manifest in many ways: (1) religion, (2) humanism, (3) altruism, (4) reversionism, (5) socialism, (6) communism, (7) internationalism, (8) collectivism, (9) ecumenicalism, and (10) progressivism; in short any attempts to solve the problems of this world apart from the Word of God.
6.	The truths revealed in Scripture always support the divine policy of grace where God does all the work and man does nothing.
7.	The Bible supports a three-fold society: (1) a divine system of establishment expressed by government, (2) a divine system of economics expressed by capitalism, and (3) a divine system of worship expressed by the church.
8.	PRINCIPLE: Any time anyone seeks to solve the problems of society apart from these divine systems, that effort must be classified as evil.
9.	Furthermore, they are always expressions of Lucifer’s attempts to be like the Most High:
	1.	In government, biblical revelation indicates he will attempt to establish a global dictatorship in the Tribulation.   The initial attempt was at Babel; the last will be at Rome as power is given to the Satan-possessed beast-dictator of Revelation 13.
	2.	In economics, biblical revelation indicates he will try to control the global monetary system through computerized governmental oversight:
Revelation 13:16 -	He forces everyone, the small and the great, both rich and poor, both slave and free, to be provided a computer chip implanted in their right hand or on their forehead,
v. 17 -	and that no one should be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark [ means of identification for the masses ], or the name of the beast-dictator [ identification for religious leaders ], or the number of his name [ an assigned identification number such as present-day credit cards or social security numbers ].
	3.	In religion, there will be established a church and state agreement between the beast-dictator and the Jewish false prophet who is able to convince people he is the Messiah.
Revelation 17:3 -	Then the teaching angel brought me [ John ] in the Spirit to a desolate place [ introduces the subject of ecumenical religion ]; and I saw a woman [ ecumenical religion ] sitting on a scarlet beast [ controlling the government of the revived Roman Empire ], full of blasphemous doctrines, having seven heads [ the seven empires whose religions influenced Israel ] and ten horns [ the ten-nation confederation of the revived Roman Empire ].

Since the Reformation, it has been generally accepted that the scarlet beast represents the Catholic Church, however, with events that have transpired in the twenty-first century, the religion that seems to have gained significant global influence is Islam.
