99. The big battle

Satan and God are in the throes of battle, always have been but it will end eventually.

Gods weapons are: love, creation, holy spirit, rebirthing (born again), scripture
Satans weapons are : hate, destruction, evil spirit, infiltration of mankind.

Some examples:
God can appear via an angel which is his 'temporary creation' manifest to appear and carry a message.
Satan can only infiltrate existing creation and appear being devils.

The 70 disciples came back amazed that they could even cast out devils, and I think some subsequent bibllical characters could also, who had never physically met Jesus.

In Gen 6, when Satans angels impregnated women, those born of the unions became the mighty men of old, arguably the old Greek and Ronman gods and giants.
When God impregnated a woman, Jesus was born of Mary. Quite a difference.

Yet this battle is so well matched that it takes thousands of our years to play it out.
I noted on a previous post, when Jesus provided new life for mankind unblemished by sin, the battle turned for Gods victory.

Satan currently has control of mankind, God overcomes this by providing immortal life to mankind while turning to nought every gain of Satan in the human life. This is salvation by grace.

Until we give in to Gods control and grab hold of eternal life, we are working for Satan.
