As near as we understand, Isaiah 14:12-15’s “taunt” to “the King of Babylon”
describes the angel lucifer’s (“shining one”) attempted rebellion against God.
In those few verses, he five times asserts “I WILL,” against GOD’s will: most notably,
“I WILL raise my throne above the stars of God,” and “I WILL make myself like The Most High.”
That was also the temptation satan held out to Eve: assert your own "I WILL", and “you will be
like God” (Genesis 3:5)
Jesus came proclaiming the “Kingdom of God:” He said the will of GOD rules right NOW “on
earth as it is in heaven.”
The question is, as always, if we believe Jesus.
Let's.
God’s Kingdom is “righteousness, peace and joy” (Romans 14:17). Jesus said satan and his
rebellious “children” show who they are by their love of lies and murder (john 8:44).
Can the issue of spiritual warfare be any clearer ?
Can the issues for America right NOW be any clearer ?
