which is past.

Indentifying
the strategy
of Satan
against the
Churches
(2Co 11:13-15) For such are false
apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ. And no marvel;
for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light. Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose
end shall be according to their
works.

Understanding
the patterns of
Satan
(Gen 15:13-14) And he
said unto Abram, Know
of a surety that thy seed
shall be a stranger in a
land that is not theirs, and
shall serve them; and they
shall afflict them four
hundred years; And
also that nation, whom
they shall serve, will I
judge: and afterward
shall they come out with
great substance.
THE SILENT YEARS
These are the years that
are between the Old
and New testaments.

the prophet Malachi to
the start of John the
Baptist

WHO IS IT WRITTEN TO
FACTOR
All of the Bible is
written to you for
instruction and
doctrine; but not all of
the Bible was written
directly to you. The 2nd
rule of Bible is to ask
“Who is it written to?”
(1Co 10:32) Give
none offence,
neither to the Jews,
nor to the Gentiles,
nor to the church of
God:

 God lays out 3 key chapters in the
Word of God to reveal the person and
the working of Satan
 Rev. 12 (Satan’s dealings with the Jew)
 Job. 41 (Satan’s dealings with the
Gentile)
 2 Cor. 11 (Satan’s dealings with the
Church)

WHAT DOES
THE BIBLE
ITSELF SAY?
I Cor. 2: 9 -13
(1Co 2:9-13) But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. But God
hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God.... Now we have received, not
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know the things that are
freely given to us of God. Which things also
we speak, not in the words which man's
wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Psa 74:13-14) Thou didst
divide the sea by thy
strength: thou brakest the
heads of the dragons in the
waters. Thou brakest the
heads of leviathan in pieces,
and gavest him to be meat to
the people inhabiting the
wilderness.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Isa 27:1) In that day the
LORD with his sore and great
and strong sword shall
punish leviathan the
piercing serpent, even
leviathan that crooked
serpent; and he shall slay
the dragon that is in the sea.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Rev 12:3) And there appeared another
wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads.
(Rev 12:7-9) And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels, And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven. And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth
the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Rev 13:1) And I stood upon
the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten
horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy.
B. Satan’s
desire to keep
himself
concealed
(Job 41:12-14) I will not
conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely
proportion. Who can
discover the face of his
garment? or who can come to
him with his double bridle?
Who can open the doors of his
face? his teeth are terrible
round about.

 He has done a great job, because
most Christians don’t even know that
Job 41 is descriptive of Satan.’
 Job 41 is a detailed description of the
way God sees him
 Without Job 41 we would never see
him like this, because of The way he
reveals himself.
(2Co 11:13-15) For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ. And no
marvel; for Satan himself is
transformed into an angel of
light. Therefore it is no great
thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall
be according to their works.
(Job 41:12-14) I will not
conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely
proportion. Who can
discover the face of his
garment? or who can come to
him with his double bridle?
Who can open the doors of his
face? his teeth are terrible
round about.
(Job 41:12-14) I will not
conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely
proportion. Who can discover
the face of his garment? or
who can come to him with his
double bridle? Who can
open the doors of his face?
his teeth are terrible round

(Rev 20:2-3) And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years, And cast
him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should
deceive the nations no more, till the thousand
years should be fulfilled: and after that he
must be loosed a little season.
(Rev 20:10) And the devil that deceived them
was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever
and ever.

COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Heb 4:12) For the word of
God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the
heart.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
(Eph 6:11-17) Put on the whole armour of God, that
ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking
the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:

nations! For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will be like the most
