Revelation 12:9 Satan DECEIVES the WHOLE World!
***What Does Revelation 12:9 TRULY mean?
Here is Revelation 12:9 from the KJV. “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.”
Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, that the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church.
But that does not mean that Christians cannot be DECEIVED to believe FALSE doctrines of devils.
Satan tried PERSECUTING Christians from the very beginning of the church.
But the more that Chrisians were persecuted, the stronger their faith grew and so did the number of Chrsitians grow as well.
So, in my own opinion, I believe that Satan decided to DIVIDE the church.
Like the saying goes, “Divide and conquer”. So, in order to divide Christians, he infiltrated the church by DECEIVING Christians to believe and teach his doctrines of devils.
We can see that even in Paul’s day in the first century, there were already false doctrines being formed.
Also, Jesus said in Luke 18:8, speaking of his coming, “Shall I find FAITH on the earth when I come?”
Now, the Greek word translated as “faith” means SOUND doctrine.
So then, will Jesus find SOUND Biblical doctrine in his church when he comes?

Shall Jesus Find Sound Doctrine Among Christians at His Coming?
It is commonly known, understood, believed, and preached among many Protestant church denominations that the Roman Catholic Church MIXED paganism with Christianity during the time of Constantine.
And the Roman Catholic Church FORBIDS their priests, deacons and all other clergy to marry, which according to 1 Timothy 4:1-6 is a doctrine of devils.
And the Roman Catholic Church also used to forbid the eating of meat on Friday during Lent.
Here in the west, they now strongly urge Catholics to voluntarily fast from meat on Fridays during Lent.
Please read 1 Timothy 4:1-6.
“Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1 Timothy 4:3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1 Timothy 4:4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1 Timothy 4:5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:6. If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto you have attained.”
My point is that clearly seeing that the Roman Catholic Church has MANY doctrines of devils, and the Protestant church came out from under most of those doctrines of devils, is it possible that SOME false teachings still remain among the Protestant church denominations as well.
The answer is yes, absolutely there remained some false teachings even in the Protestant churches that soon began to form different church denominations due to the controversies over church doctrines.
Now, some of those false teachings are obvious to most Christians.
But what about the false teachings that most Christians know full well are false.
However, to the Christians who believe that teaching, it is the truth to THEM, in the way that they INTERPRET the Scriptures.
What I mean is that the church denomination which teaches that false doctrine, they SINCERELY believe that they are teaching the truth.
In other words, when you try to show and explain how they have wrongly or incorrectly interpreted the Scripture, they do not accept that they have erred in their interpretation of the Scriptures.
Thus, Satan has DECEIVED even true born-again Christians to believe his lies.
With that being said, let us now focus on the phrase, “Satan deceives the WHOLE world.”
So then, is it possible that Satan has deceived the WHOLE CHURCH?
Again, to me, the answer is yes! For you see, Jesus, talking about his return, said in Luke 18:8, “Shall I find FAITH on the earth when I come?”
Luke 18:7,8.
“And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Luk 18:8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find FAITH on the earth?”
As I said in the introduction, the Greek word translated as “faith” actually means SOUND Biblical doctrine.
Here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Greek word “pistis”.
G4102
πίστις
pistis
pis'-tis
From G3982; persuasion, that is, credence; moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance, belief, believe, faith, fidelity.
Total KJV occurrences: 244.
Now, would it be the TRUTHFULNESS of Almighty God if a church doctrine teaches things that CONTRADICT what the Bible ITSELF actually teaches?
For example, are the Christians who teach that Jesus is Almighty God the Father Himself in the flesh, then are they teaching the TRUTHFULNESS of God?
For you see, to THEM, they sincerely believe with all their heart that they are teaching the TRUE Jesus, but to every other Christian, they are teaching ANOTHER Jesus that the Apostles did not teach.
My point is that it is EASY to see the errors in the doctrines of OTHER church denominations.
But when it comes to the doctrines of your own church denomination, then you do not even suspect that there could be FALSE doctrines in your church denomination.
With that being said, I IMPLORE all Trinitarian Christians to take a CLOSER look at the doctrine of the Trinity in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
Let me begin by quoting a verse of Scripture from the Old Testament. The emphasis is mine.
Numbers 23:19.
“God is not a MAN, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?”
Now, to me, it is blatantly clear that God did not become the Son of Man.
But to Trinitarian Christians, they interpret this verse to mean that during the Old Testament times, God was not a man and neither was God the Son of man, because God had not yet BECOME the Son of man in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Well, that might sound plausible to some Trinitarian Christians, but what about after the Son of man is GLORIFIED and he is returning to execute the wrath of God?
And Almighty God says in Hosea 11:9 that He is not that MAN, the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you.
Hosea 11:9.
“I (Yahweh) will NOT execute the fierceness of My anger, (Or My WRATH and vengeance) I will NOT return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and NOT MAN; the Holy One in the midst of you: and I will NOT enter into the city.”
Here in this verse, Yahweh is clearly saying that He is not that MAN, the Holy One in the midst of you, that is coming to execute the wrath of Yahweh.
Let us read this verse in Hosea 11:9 from some other translations.
9.“I will not execute my burning anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath.”
9.“I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man— the Holy One among you. I will not come against their cities.”
9.“I will not execute the fierceness of My anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not enter into the city.”
Again, it is blatantly clear to me that Yahweh is the one speaking and He is saying that He is not that MAN, the Holy One in the midst of you, who will execute the wrath of Yahweh.
In other words, Yahweh is saying that He is not the Son of MAN, Jesus.
But the question is WHY? Why would Yahweh give His prophets two separate prophecies saying that He is not the Son of MAN?
Well, when we read the CONTEXT of verse 9 in Hosea 11:7 from the LITERAL translation, then we can see that a people of God are UNCERTAIN due to being mentally habituated or accustomed to an APOSTASY of Yahweh by calling His Messiah the Most High.
And he, speaking of Jesus, will not exalt them, referring to the people who are calling him the Supreme or the Most High God.
Let us go ahead and read the LITERAL translation. Yahweh is doing the speaking and you do not refer to yourself using the pronoun “he”.
Hosea 11:7 from the LITERAL translation.
“And people of Me, ones being hung to backsliding of Me and to Supreme they are calling him altogether not he shall exalt them”
Now, the people can be “My people” referring to the children of Israel, the Jewish people.
Or the people can be a people of Yahweh referring to Christians.
Whoever the people are, they are being hung to backsliding against Yahweh.
And they are calling someone other than Yahweh the Supreme or the Most High God.
And the one they are calling the Most High God shall not EXALT them.
So then, if the people are the Jews, then they are hung on backsliding against Yahweh calling another god the Most High God.
And that false god will not exalt them.
Now, if the people are referring to Christians, then those particular Christians are HUNG, UNCERTAIN, undecided if they are APOSTATIZING Yahweh by calling Jesus Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
And Jesus shall not EXALT them.
So, which understanding is correct? Well, when we read the CONTEXT in verse 9, we now understand WHY Yahweh is saying that He is not that MAN, the Holy One in the midst of you, who will execute the wrath of Yahweh.
Some of you may be wondering where I get the words, uncertain, undecided if they are APOSTATIZING Yahweh.
If you look up the meanings of all of the words, then you will see all of these different meanings.
And knowing what I know about Jesus being HIGHLY EXALTED by his God and Father, and that Jesus is not Almighty God Himself in the flesh, then all of these meanings fall right in place.
So, I IMPLORE all Trinitarian Christians to read the following studies.
Numbers 23:19, Is Jesus God INCARNATE?
Numbers 23:19, The Trinitarian Interpretation!
Hosea 11:9. Yahweh is Not the Son of MAN!
Philippians 2:6-11 Proves that Jesus Became a Deity Under and Subject to His God!
But for now, I want to share a few verses where we, as faithful and TRUTHFUL WITNESSES will be exalted to be given the SAME glory that God gave to the Son of MAN, Jesus, after the cross and resurrection, according to John 17:22-26.
Just briefly, Yahweh the Father is the Eternal King who set His human Son, Jesus, as the King of kings and Lord of lords for 1000 years during the world to come, according to Psalm 2:6.
And we, the faithful and TRUTHFUL WITNESSES will be exalted to be kings and lords under and subject to Jesus, according to Revelation 1:6.
Here are some points to ponder, and I do mean to seriously and truly ponder closely on the following questions.
#1. If God literally intends Numbers 23:19 and Hosea 11:9 to mean that He is not the Son of MAN, Jesus, then are Trinitarian Christians TRUTHFUL WITNESSES for Yahweh?
In other words, will Yahweh be able to use Trinitarian Christians as His WITNESSES to clear His name from being blasphemed by His enemies, Satan and the fallen Elohim?
#2. Jesus was given power and authority to judge, because he is the Son of MAN, according to John 5:26,27.
#3. Jesus was given eternal life by his God and Father, according to John 5:26,27.
#4. The Lamb SLAIN was found WORTHY to RECEIVE POWER, riches, wisdom, strength, glory, honor, and blessings, according to Revelation 5:12.
#5. Those in heaven sought for a MAN to be found worthy to open the seven seals, according to Revelation 5:1-12.
#6. By one MAN, sin entered the world, and by one MAN the gift of RIGHTEOUS is made available for whosoever believes to receive.
#7. The Son of MAN, Jesus, a MAN approved by God was MADE both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:22-36, the very FIRST gospel message.
#8. The FULLNESS of DEITY did not dwell in the Son of MAN, Jesus, until after the cross and resurrection, according to Colossians 1:19.
#9. Jesus was given the power and the authority to rule over the whole earth and not over the whole universe for 1000 years, UNTIL his God and Father has put all of his enemies under his feet, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, Hebrews 1:13, Hebrews 10:12,13, Matthew 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:42,43, Acts 2:34,35, Psalm 110:1, and Micah 4:6-8, where Jesus will rule for the FIRST DOMINION and Yahweh will rule HENCEFORTH or thereafter.
#10. Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of prophecy, according to John 5:39, Hebrews 10:7, and Psalm 40:7.
But yet, I have not found even one prophecy of a God the Son being sent down from heaven to be incarnated as the Son of MAN.
And there is no teaching in the New Testament that clearly states that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
#11. Jesus was GIVEN the DIVINE NATURE of eternal life after the cross.
Therefore, Jesus did not have TWO natures at the SAME time during the days of his flesh as Trinitarian Christians dogmatically demand.
And some Trinitarian Christians argue that if you deny that Jesus is fully Almighty God Himself in the flesh, then you are still dead in your sins.
But the Bible ITSELF actually teaches that the HUMAN Son of God, the Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME a DEITY under and subject to his God and Father AFTER the cross and resurrection.
So, I IMPLORE all Trinitarian Christians to read the three-part study linked below.
The Deity of Jesus, according to the Bible Itself! #1.
The Deity of Jesus, according to the Bible Itself! #2.
The Deity of Jesus, according to the Bible Itself! #3.
And here is a link to a short video, which brings out some other points to ponder about even after Jesus is GLORIFIED by his God and Father, Jesus is still under and subject to Almighty God the Father.
Jesus Is Lower Than God Even After His Exaltation
This concludes Book 10 called Jesus is Not the Creator!

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
