His Enemies
His Enemies are any and all created beings that are rebellious to his authority.
Spirit beings
The being that is identified as satan, the devil, the serpent or the dragon in the Bible.
-
The satan is not a name, it is a descriptive function and it means adversary.
-
The devil is not a name, it is a descriptive function and it means deceiver.
Divine Council beings that rebelled
- these are called Watchers in the Bible
Hybrid beings
These are not created by God. They are "creations" of rebel sons of God or Spirit beings that rebelled against God and intermingled with humanity on earth.
These abominations did not have a human spirit, but a demonic spirit. This is where unclean or evil spirits come from.
Like all Spirit beings, they are not redeemable like human beings. When they died there was no place for their spirit to go so they remain on the earth in the spirit realm. These became the demons or devils (in the plural) or evil spirits that Jesus confronted so frequently during his ministry as recorded in the New Testament.
the results of the sons of God that took upon themselves the form of human beings and married human women
this resulted in a race of giants that were half human and half "god"
they are bound to the "god" that fathered them. They do not possess free human will -- since they are not human but hybrid and evil in their very being
recorded in the standard canon of the Bible including the King James version.
more details provided in The Book of Enoch, which is not in the standard canon but was read by the apostolic writers (was alluded to many times) and was even quoted directly and verbatim in the Bible
upon death their spirits became devils, demons or evil spirits on the earth
Human beings
- created in God's image
- corrupted through rebellion against God
- redeemable through God's love and grace
How human beings can be restored
When a human being repents (or turns from their sins) and accepts the payment of Jesus Christ on the cross for their sins, they are reconciled to God -- they come friends.
2 Corinthians 5:14-21
[14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
[15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
[16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
[18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
[19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
[20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
[21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Maintaining submission to God and obedience to God maintains this friendship.
James 4:6-10
[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
How human beings can renew enmity with God
There are two spiritual powers that are seeking to influence and control our lives. The legitimate spiritual power is God the Creator the illegitimate spiritual power is the devil or the Satan. By submitting to the one we are resisting the other. Therefore if we are submitted to God we are resisting the devil; on the other hand if we are resisting God we are submitting to the devil.
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
James 4:3-10
[3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
[4] Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
[5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
