Revelation 12:12
Rejoice all ye in the heavens! But woe to everyone on earth, for Satan is cast from heaven to the earth
By Brother Mike (3-5-22; 45 minutes)
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time .
INTRODUCTION
With a bioweapon covid virus having been unleashed upon the world that was taxpayer funded by us through our own government and preplanned to kill and harm millions to control population size, and then a bioweapon death shot having been forced upon the whole world by deception and unconstitutional mandates that was also taxpayer funded by us through our own government, preplanned and disguised as a vaccine to kill and harm millions to control population size, especially the size of those Patriots who stand in the way of tyranny ...
With millions upon millions of people already dead and hundreds of millions already injured by their own governments, and congress having voted for immunity to prosecution of the Big Pharma manufacturers of these bioweapon death shots because they took bribes from Big Pharma, or some other evil reason ...
With the Mainstream Media in bed with Big Pharma because a huge part of their income comes from Big Pharma so that they continue to advertise this bioweapon as safe and effective when it is far from neither, and the hospitals, clinics, and what seems to be most of our doctors do the same ...
With our hospitals following the evil mandates of Fauci and even our own state governors to put covid-diagnosed people on the organ-failure-causing-drug Remdesivir and on a ventilator so that they die to reward the hospitals at least $100,000 in payment for each one they murder ...
With virtually no one in power helping to stop all this madness and murder and prosecute everyone who has played a part in all this madness and murder, which is only a small glimpse of all the evil now taking place in the world ...
With all this evil, and much more now taking place, we cry out, when will Satan and his demons and all his wicked people be destroyed? The answer God will give us in this study is Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And now, ever since Judgment Day began on May 21, 2011, Satan's time is indeed very short.
O Lord, open our eyes through this study to see the joy in Christ's defeat of Satan at the cross, but also the joy in that Satan has a very short time remaining. Lift us now up to that high place of mind and spirit to learn from you now, amen.

But we also learned in our
last study
Now, having learned that Christ and His angels defeated Satan and his angels at the cross by all that was previously stated, as a result, we also learned in our
last study

How can this be? How can they be commanded to rejoice ongoingly, but be passive and not active in their rejoicing? Well, in that they are commanded to rejoice passively simply means that they, of themselves, do not bring about their rejoicing; they are passive in this matter. What does bring about their rejoicing passively (or we might say, automatically without they themselves bringing it about themselves in any way) is everything that Christ accomplished at the cross to defeat and cast out Satan and his angels from heaven to the earth.
Therefore, what our verse is saying is that ye heavens and those in them such as the angels and the elect are commanded to rejoice ongoingly due to Satan's defeat at the cross, and they do rejoice ongoingly because of what Christ accomplished at the cross and not because of anything of themselves. It is 100% all the work of Christ that those in the heavens do obey the command to rejoice ongoingly just as their and our salvations are 100% the work of Christ. We can take credit for nothing! It is not a partnership wherein Christ has done His work, and now it is up to us to do our part like many false gospels proclaim: they say, Christ has died for your sins, and now you must accept Christ into your heart, or just believe, to become saved. No, rather, Christ only died for the sins of His elect, and because of this, if you are one of God's elect, you will have been completely passive in believing to eternal salvation before any possibility for true salvation ended on May 21, 2011, when Judgment Day began ...
O yes, it is true that there was a time when each of the elect people of God did believe or accept Christ unto salvation, but like the work in the rejoicing of those in the heavens that we discussed earlier in our verse was not their own work, for, remember, the verb to rejoice was in the Passive Voice so that they were clearly passive in the matter, and it was the work of Christ alone at the cross that brought about their rejoicing, so also when the elect believed or accepted Christ unto salvation before May 21,2011, it was not they themselves who brought about their believing, but it was only the work of Christ at the cross that brought it about through the Holy Spirit. So, up until May 21, 2011, there was a passive believing or accepting of Christ that could bring about salvation in the elect because their believing or accepting of Christ came about by the works of Christ alone through the Holy Spirit and nothing in themselves, but now, today, after May 21, 2011 when it is no longer possible for someone to be eternally saved ...
Page 4
Therefore, all the believing or accepting of Christ that that we now see after May 21, 2011, is an active believing or accepting of Christ that cannot save because such an active believing or accepting of Christ is a work of oneself alone, and not of Christ. Thus, there once was a believing to true salvation, but now only a believing to a false salvation in a false gospel or church. Indeed, there was once a believing that saved, but now, no one can believe or accept Christ to be saved, except into a false gospel or church without even knowing it. Yes, Satan is feeding all the churches a strong delusion that they believe the lie that they are still worshipping Christ in their churches, and that people are still being saved in our day as judgment against them (2Thessalonians 2:11). And at
the rapture on the Last Day
Now, one more thing about the first part of verse 12 that we have been discussing: remember, it reads, Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them ...
Ro 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out !
Page 5
Well now, verse 12 continues, Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! Literally, it just reads, Woe to the earth and the sea! The inhabiters in the sentence, Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea does not appear in the Greek, so what does our verse, Woe to the the earth and the sea mean? As we had learned in other studies, the sea represents the world or the unsaved (wicked) as we can see in the following two verses, respectively:
Ps 98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein .
Isa 57:20 But the wicked are like [or as] the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt .
Similarly, the earth represents the world or the peoples who inhabit or dwell on the earth because, remember, the peoples who live on the earth were all created from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7) and are, therefore, part of the earth as we can see in many verses, and here are just a few of those verses:
Ps 24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein .
Ps 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him .
Ps 66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye earth [all ye peoples who inhabit or dwell on the earth]
Ps 96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth [all ye peoples who inhabit or dwell on the earth].
Ps 96:9
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth
[all ye peoples who inhabit or dwell on the earth].
Thus, since we have learned that the sea represents the world or the unsaved who are all wicked in God's eyes, and the earth also represents the world or all those who inhabit or dwell on the earth, we can conclude that when our verse says, Woe into the earth and the sea, it means, Woe to everyone in this world, on this earth, or on this planet whether saved or unsaved, and the King James translation which states, Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea is now seen to be a good translation. And because the word woe means great grief, sorrow or distress, when our verse says, Woe to everyone in this world or to the inhabiters of the earth, it means great grief, sorrow, or distress for everyone in this world.
Now, why is there great grief, sorrow, or distress for everyone in this world after the cross of 33 AD? Our verse says, for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. You can imagine, for approximately 11,000 years of the Old Testament period (see
Biblical Timeline
Page 6
and he still ruled over the whole world and its people, except God's elect, of course. Nevertheless, Satan still claimed rulership over the elect because he had not yet seen the Christ come to earth to actually win them back by paying for their sins. Satan likely had no idea that Yahweh had gone forward in time, which only God could do, to obtain the blood of Christ and then had come back in time to apply that blood to each of His elect at the appropriate times during the Old Testament period (read the commentary on
Revelation 12:2
Remember Satan's arrogance in accusing Yahweh's Old Testament elect servant, Job. We read,
Job 6:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them
. {Satan: Heb. the adversary} {among: Heb. in the midst of}
7
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it
.
8
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil
? {considered: Heb. set thy heart on}
And as the story goes, Satan was permitted to take everything that Job owned, including his family and servants by killing them. But still, Job would not sin or curse God. Even when Satan was permitted to remove Job's health from him to the point of death, as the story further goes, still Job would not sin or curse God (I encourage you to read to whole story). So, Yahweh proved to Satan that Job was not ruled over by him. Nevertheless, throughout the Old Testament period, Satan came before Yahweh to accuse His elect, especially if they had sinned, because Satan had won the right to rule over the world, and if one of God's elect could be shown to sin, then Satan could still claim the right to rule over them (so he may have thought). And Yahweh had still shown no real proof to Satan that He had won back the right to rule over the world.

But then, finally, after about 11,000 years, God took on flesh as Jesus Christ and took on the sins of His elect and took on the punishment that they deserved beginning in the garden of Gethsemane when He began to sweat like great drops of blood (Luke 22:44) and ending by His crucifixion until on the third day He rose from the dead. Now it became absolutely clear to Satan that God had won back a people for Himself and the right to rule over them as well as the entire creation to be renewed incorruptible on the Last Day. Satan also recognized that if Christ had to pay the equivalent of eternal damnation for the sins of His elect on the cross, how much more would he himself have to pay eternal damnation for his own sins on the Last Day along with all his angels and the billions of his unsaved people that he had won the right to rule over. Thus, Satan and his angels and his unsaved people were defeated at the cross so that Satan and his angels no longer had any right to remain in heaven, and God gained the right to cast him out of heaven to the earth, which He did, until He and his angels and unsaved people would be cast into the Lake of Fire on the Last Day of this earth when it too will be burned up but then transformed into the new incorruptible and glorious heaven and earth where God's then newly transformed, incorruptible and sinless people who Christ had died for will dwell forevermore.
Now, remember, our verse stated, Woe to the earth and sea [grief, sorrow, and distress to everyone in this world] for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Can you imagine how angry Satan must have been when God cast him out of heaven to the earth? ...
But then, on May 21,1988 at the end of the Church Age, Satan thought that he had won, for the Holy Spirit of restraint removed Himself from all the churches so that Satan could begin to rule over all the churches with no restraint by all his false prophets that he had infiltrated all the churches with, for the time [had come] that judgment must begin at the house of God (1Peter 4:17). The Two Witnesses who were the elect then still in the churches were spiritually killed (see
Revelation 11:7-10
Page 8
and the Counterfeit Christ had ascended to rule all the churches (see
2Thessalonians 2:1-11 audio teaching
Then, God's judgment and Great Tribulation that had already come upon all the churches beginning on May 21,1988 came upon the whole world as well on May 21, 2011. So now, not only was eternal salvation no longer possible for anyone in or thru a church, but eternal salvation in Jesus Christ also became impossible for anyone in the whole world who had not been saved by May 21,2011 when Judgement Day began, which consists of many days (Isaiah 24:22) ...
So now, in our day, Satan has been dethroned from ruling the churches and the world, and Christ is now ruling, not gently with a shepherds stick, but with a rod of iron for bringing judgment by using Satan and his angels as well as all his many unsaved people to continue bringing judgment against the churches, as well as to now bring judgment against the whole world until on the Last Day of Judgment Day that we are now in comes, and Satan and his angels as well as all the billions of unsaved people that have ever lived, many of which shall then rise from the graves on the Last Day, will be cast into the Lake of Fire forevermore, having no part in eternal life in the new glorious and incorruptible heaven and earth, which will be this earth transformed after it is burned up on the Last Day. Indeed, everything is coming to a head, and it will completely do so on the Last Day. It may now appear like Satan, his angels, and his people are winning, but they lost at the cross in 33 AD when on the cross Christ said, it is finished, and this will be seen by all on the relatively soon to come very Last Day of Judgment Day that we are now in.

CONCLUSION:
In this study, we learned that the first part of our verse, which says, Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them is probably better translated as Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, even ye that dwell in them. This is a perfectly legitimate translation, and it makes more sense out of the verse. Now we know that the term ye heavens refers to all those that dwell in the heavens such as the good angels and the elect. They are the ones who were commanded to ongoingly rejoice, but significantly, we also found that their rejoicing did not come from themselves in any way, for the verb rejoice in the command given them is in the Passive Voice of the Greek, which means that in their ongoing rejoicing that they were commanded to do, and that they did and are still doing, they were and are completely passive in the matter. It was what Christ accomplished at the cross that resulted in Satan and his angels being cast out of heaven to the earth that brought about the ongoing rejoicing of those in the heavens, just as our believing or accepting of Christ unto eternal salvation had nothing to do with ourselves, but of God alone. We were completely passive in the matter. This true believing or accepting of Christ that was once possible before May 21, 2011, is no longer possible. Ever since then, although there are many who believe they were saved after May 21, 2011 because they had believed or accepted Christ into their hearts, they actually never really were truly saved because their believing in or accepting was not a passive believing or accepting of Christ accomplished by the Holy Spirit alone, but it was an active believing or accepting of Christ that came about of themselves and not of the Holy Spirit who has been no longer saving anyone ...
Finally, we learned that when our verse said, Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time, it meant grief, sorrow, or distress to everyone on the earth after the resurrection of Christ, for Satan had been cast down by God from being like God to the earth, having great anger and wrath against everyone on earth, especially God's elect, the eternal church. But Satan was never able to completely destroy the eternal church who were then a part of the temporal and local churches and congregations. So, Satan did everything he could to destroy the local churches and congregations in the world to get to the elect that resided therein and were protected by the Holy Spirit therein who restrained the Devil from them.
But, on May 21, 1988, God began to bring judgment against all the local churches and congregations, for Satan had infiltrated them with counterfeit Christians and false teachings. And because of this, the Holy Spirit removed Himself from the churches so that Satan could completely take them over as the Antichrist who is the counterfeit Christ, and God removed any further possibility for eternal salvation in or thru any church. This was the beginning of the Great Tribulation! And God has been, ever since, feeding all the churches with a strong delusion so that they still believe that they go to church to worship Christ when the reality is that they are worshiping the counterfeit Christ ...
Page 10
Then came the beginning of Judgment Day on May 21, 2011 when not only all the churches continue to be under judgment with no longer any possibility of eternal salvation in or thru them, for the true Holy Spirit of salvation is no longer in them, but that same judgment going on in all the churches has now also come upon the entire world as God continues to use Satan and his armies, and his people to bring judgment against the whole world. Yes, Satan was removed from ruling over the world and all the churches on May 21, 2011, and Christ is now ruling, not with the gentle stick of a shepherd, except with His eternal church, the elect, but with a rod of iron to bring judgment against them all. Satan has basically now gone crazy with anger and wrath against God like never before, but his time has never been shorter. In a relatively short time from now, this sinful world with its sinful people, and Satan and his angels, will all be cast into the Lake of Fire to give way to a new incorruptible and eternal heaven and earth where we, His elect and eternal church, will dwell forever in new incorruptible and glorious bodies fit for our new eternal home.
Rejoice all you His Saints of Jesus Christ by calling, for the short time that Satan had left to bring his wrath against you and this creation when he was cast out of heaven to the earth almost 2,000 years ago is almost finished. Do not fear or be anxious of anything now going on in this world, for Christ has overcome the world. But join in with God to proclaim judgment against all the churches and the whole world.
Rejoice all you His Saints of Jesus Christ by calling, for the short time that Satan had left to bring his wrath against you and this creation when he was cast out of heaven to the earth almost 2,000 years ago is almost finished. Satan's time is now so very short, that he has gone mad and is trying to destroy all the good things of God in this world like never before. But do not fear or be anxious of anything now going on in this world, for Christ is ruling, and He has overcome the world. Instead, join in with God to proclaim judgment against all the churches and the whole world, which is our difficult calling.
Now, as we rejoice in Satan's very short time left and
until the next time, may
Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee: Yahweh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Yahweh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace
(Numbers 6:24-26).
