1 The Spirit World - Its Influence on Humans
1.1 A00 Conflict in the Spirit Realm
1.1.1 A10 The Prince
Eze 28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, .
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: .
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel;, there is no secret that they can hide from thee:.
Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: .
Eze 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: .
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; .
Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. .
Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. .
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say, before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee..
Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. .
This is clearly a human. But a very arrogant human. Lifted up in his own imagination beyond being psychotic - thinking him to be a god. This man has obviously attained wealth and riches with the help of some spiritual entities and from experience, these think themselves to be a god.
1.1.2 A20 The King
1.1.2.1 Isa 14
Isa 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, .
Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! .
Isa 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. .
Isa 14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. .
Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. .
Isa 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since, thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us..
Isa 14:9 Hell from beneath, is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones, all the kings of the nations. .
Isa 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?.
Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee..
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken, the nations! .
Isa 14:13 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: .
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. .
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. .
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; .
Isa 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. .
Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave, like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet. .
Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never, be renowned. .
1.1.2.2 Eze 28
Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, .
Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. .
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. .
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. .
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day, that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee..
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain, of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst, of the stones of fire. .
Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee..
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude, of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst, of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee..
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more., .
Job 26:5 Dead things are formed from under, the waters, and the inhabitants thereof..
This "king" is not human. It is a supernatural being. And a glorious being. The ultimate and greatest and most glorious of YHWH's creation. A cherub is a weird and wonderful creature – very different from what man is used to, with wings and eyes all over, and they have an immense amount of power and authority. May it be that the satan was representative of the reptiles? A fiery red dragon as we see in Revelation?
Of note is that some scholars refer to the “merchandise” and traffic to an activity very close to that of political campaigning. Does that refer to planning the revolt that shook the heavens and corrupted the earth?
Note the connection between the human and spirit world. The prince has the same arrogant heart as the king, yet the prince is a man while the king is a very powerful and glorious (yet corrupted) supernatural being. Clearly there the human ruler and the spiritual ruler are mirror images with the same attitudes and similar ethical and moral rules – or the lack of it.
We read in Eze 28:1-17 the first record of what happened when a rebellion was stoked in heaven. Note that the Bible refers to men as “prince of Tyrus” and “king of Tyrus” and then goes on to describe in very vivid terms a supernatural being. This link between high-ranking humans and the nefarious domain is of prime essence in the following and the discussions that follows:
1.2 A10 Steps to until Man was subject to Dark Forces
1.2.1 A00 The serpent makes the first strike
Ge 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any, beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every, tree of the garden? .
Ge 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. .
1.2.2 A10 The second strike - Beney Elohim that copulated with women
Ge 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all, which they chose. .
Ge 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. .
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: .
2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; .
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. .
Habitation – oiketerion – apparently refers to a person’s (human and otherwise) “body” where the spirit dwells
The faithful believers have a new “body” (on earth!) that they will inhabit, obtained FROM heaven. There is some translation from one abode to the next. So the fallen angels were “translated” to and abode that CAN die like men die.
And can this “abode” also copulate with daughters of Adam, and father children, as in Gen 6? These first few verses in Gen 6 can only make sense when interpreted in this way. If this is true, then some of the “church fathers” – a name very specifically disallowed by YESHUA – are going to have to do some explanation some explanation one day.
The sons of Seth myth another brilliant move of the satan to hide his strategy? Apparently so.
.
1.2.3 A20 The third strike
Ge 11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. .
Ge 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. .
Ge 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. .
Ge 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing, will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. .
Ge 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. .
Ge 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad, from thence, upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. .
Ge 11:9 Therefore, is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence, did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. .
Ac 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; .
Ac 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply, they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: .
1.2.4 A30 YHWH Divided the nations amongst the sons of YHWH - but kept Israel to Himself
De 32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations:, ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee..
De 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. .
According to the Quamram texts, the Masoretic text was perverted by moving some of the characters of the words around... The portion should read beney Elohim - sons of Elohim.
Many generations prior to this announcement, was before the sons of Israel existed, and refers to the about the time that YHWH called Abram.
That time was after the tower of Babel, when YHWH dispersed the nations, alloting the areas to "sons of Elohim". But these were evil, as Ps 82 indicates. These are to die like men...
1.2.5 A40 Israel was unique in the specific sense that YHWH did not allot them to the gods of heavens
De 29:25 Then men shall say, Because, they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth, out of the land, of Egypt: .
De 29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:.
De 32:9 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. .
1.2.6 A50 YHWH gave the nations up or allotted them to the sun, moon and stars
De 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided, unto all nations under the whole heaven. .
De 4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth, out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day. .
Ro 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over, to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;, .
Divide, allotted = divide, share, plunder, allot, apportion, assign
This means that the non-Israelites were assigned to gods of the heavens, to be looked after and governed by them. This is an eye opener when the current world-wide reaction to the made up pandemic is considered. How the governments are abusing their power and authority.
1.3 A15 The Power and Influence of the Spirit Beings
1.3.1 Able to control nature
Mt 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. .
Mt 8:25 And his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. .
Mt 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. .
Re 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. .
1.3.2 Able to perform miracles
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, .
Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, .
Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power, to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. .
Re 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. .
1.3.3 Angels, The earth, children and the saved
Zec 6:5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing, before the Lord of all the earth. .
Mt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always, behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. .
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister, for them who shall be heirs of salvation? .
These may have a huge amount of influence on our lives, not exactly clear what, but that they are there and they are directly in support of YHWH in managing His creation.
1.3.4 Belteshazzar
Da 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. .
Da 5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. .
Da 5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever, shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler, in the kingdom. .
Da 5:8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof..
Da 5:9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished. .
Da 5:10 Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spoke and said, O king, live forever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: .
Da 5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; .
Da 5:12 Forasmuch as, an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named, Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation. .
Da 5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? .
Da 5:14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee..
Da 5:15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing: .
Da 5:16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler, in the kingdom. .
Da 5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. .
Da 5:24 Then was the part of the hand sent from, him; and this writing was written. .
Da 5:25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. .
Da 5:26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it..
Da 5:27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. .
Da 5:28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. .
Clearly closely connected to the other incidences where spirit beings were involved, this also is a judgement, from the heavenly council.
1.3.5 Beney Elohim and creation
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding., .
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?.
Job 38:6 Whereupon, are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? .
1.3.6 Controls the world
Re 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. .
1.3.7 Dangers for the saved in the end times
Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. .
1.3.8 Daniel
Da 10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: .
Da 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. .
Da 10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. .
Da 10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. .
Da 10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. .
Da 10:10 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. .
Da 10:11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright:, for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. .
Da 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. .
Da 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood, me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. .
Da 10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. .
Da 10:15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. .
Da 10:16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched, my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. .
Da 10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway, there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me..
Da 10:18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, .
Da 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come. .
Da 10:21 But I will show thee that which is noted in the Scripture of truth: and there is none, that holdeth with me in these things, but, Michael your prince. .
Point that is to be made here – Daniel was a well-established, high ranking official, acquainted with powerful humans, was “ruined” was no strength when in the presence of this spirit-angel.
Clearly, one should take note of the power and authority of these beings. Note the hierarchy of power and authority. The prince of Persia held Daniels spirit-messenger back, yet Daniel’s human companions mounted very hasty disappearing act, and Daniel, one of the highest officials in the empire of that time, fell on his face before the angelic being, and had to be helped to stand upright.
YHWH and the World
1.3.9 Governmental control over faithful believers, nations, peoples, languages and ethnic groups
Re 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. .
Re 13:15 And he had power, to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as, would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. .
Re 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive, a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: .
Re 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. .

2Sa 24:17 And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house. .
2Sa 24:18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. .

Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me..

1Ch 21:15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. .
1Ch 21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. .
1Ch 21:18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded, Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. .

Ex 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you..

Re 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.? .
Re 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until, their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. .

Note the role of and authority YHWH delegated to a group of angels called “watchers”.

And this study is NOT to pursue detail that does not exist, it simply wants to make the reader aware that there are spirits that have a profound influence on our everyday lives. Further, there are good and evil entities, and both groups goals and futures are intricately and closely dependent on us humans.

Job 33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:.

1.3.22.4.6 YHWH's charges
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? .
Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it..
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? .
Note the depth of knowledge of and specific details that are discussed in these heavenly realms – about human INDIVDUALS. The spirit world knows of us and about us more than we realise… Also note that YHWH uses both the spirits loyal to Him AND the spirits of His apposition – in this case the satan himself – to accomplish His goals.
Pride in man is devastatingly dangerous. And Job had pride. Lots of it. And he was in danger, grave danger. See Elihu's charges. But YHWH used the most wise and glorious and wicked and sly and cunning being to release these impurities to rise to the surface for skimming off.
There are so many lessons to learn from Job, form many angles, and too much space has been given already. But one thing stands out, when one considers the power and influence of the spirit world - there is ONE righteous and Almighty YHWH that is in the overall scheme of things, in control of everything.
1.3.22.5 Paul
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. .
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. .
1.3.22.6 Saul
1Sa 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from, Saul, and an evil spirit from, the LORD troubled him..
1Sa 16:15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee..
1.3.23 YHWH is greater than the other gods
Ex 18:11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all, gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them..
Nu 33:4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. .
De 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: .
1.3.24 YHWH punishes these gods
Jer 46:25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish, the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:.
Na 1:14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name, be sown: out of the house, of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile. .
Zep 2:11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen. .
Daniel was a high-ranking official that frequent the courts of eastern monarch’s courts and saw different empires come and go, he was well acquainted to their power, authority and treacherous nature – yet here he, Daniel, is powerless and near death when the glorious and frighteningly powerful heavenly messenger appears (the spiritual becomes visible and somewhat tangible).
Note that even though Daniel and his cohorts were frightened out of their minds, there was even a MORE powerful being than the messenger controlling Persia, and even a MORE powerful being from heaven had to interfere in the confrontation.
Just sit and meditate a while to realise what are we dealing with – how powerful and dangerous the rulers of this age are.
But, just before you go into a frantic orgy of fear, they were created by YESHUA that overcome and destroyed the power of their supreme ruler!
Note the phrase "Scripture of truth". IT COULD NOT BE THE BIBLE AS WE KNOW IT! There exist books in which certain things are written down - and these cannot be changed or challenged. Even the most powerful dark king had to turn around and leave when confronted with "It is written".
The script of the future IS WRITTEN. Yes it is scary. Yes it is bloody. Yes it is going to be extremely difficult. Yes, there will be suffering, physical and psychological. Yes, one's head is probably going to be separated from your body.
BUT NO-ONE CAN AND WILL GO BEYOND THE WRITTEN WORD!
Consider the power of these beings, and the effect they (may) have on us humans, consider the following:

Eze 20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you..
1.4.3 Character - know, and do good and evil very well
Ge 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. .

1Sa 5:5 Therefore, neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. .
Since man revolted against YHWH in the garden of Eden (Gen 3) there is a tension and sometimes war against Him. We see that in the record of the tower of Babel, where the people had one language (we also have that – today, it is called the WWW or vaw-vaw-vaw in Hebrew and 666, where vaw = 6), and they wanted to build a tower high enough to stage war against YHWH - that is from extra-biblical sources but referenced in the Bible. Noteworthy is that the web was invented at Cern – another of the Medusa snakes…
Apparently, and that is from a most accomplished scholar, quoting the Qumran documents, it should read – the sons of YHWH. Now, the sons of YHWH are at all times, in a specific Hebrew phrase, ben ha Elohim, referring to the angelic beings – fallen and not fallen.
It is as if YHWH has said, you people does not want me as your King, you want to serve other gods (elohim!), so there you are, you have fallen angels, still called sons of YHWH, as kings as princes.
But YHWH said, I will choose a nation for myself:

Clearly this is the uber entity CREATED by YHWH. He was close to YHWH, had an exalted position, and one can assume, a tremendous amount of power.
But when he rose up against YHWH, and took a third of the zillions of angels with him, YHWH judged him and cast him out of heaven.
YHWH is still in control, even in the chaos that will ensue in the end.

The spirit world is very nebulous and intagible. Normally people would shun the subject due to its mysteries and dangers, and others will dabble in the occult for various nefarious reasons.
Some fears the dark domain - and has no recourse when they are persecuted and oppressed by these beings. Others ignore it, and hope that the ignorance will have the reality of these beings disappear and have no effect on their lives.
However, there is a healthy and mature approach to the spirit world, and what can be learned. This is by studying the Bible to obtain the most accurate framework of knowledge and understanding.
As the days of the end approach, the spirit realm will become hugely important, as these spirits will have significant impact on nature and mankind. Some will even become quite visible and tangible.

There has been tension between these kingdoms since time immemorial. The King of the kingdom of light and right is called YHWH and His Son YESHUA in the Hebrew tongue.
The king of the kingdom of darkness is the satan. Some in an old-boys club recon that these two need to be switched. But there is a massive surprise awaiting those human individuals the engage in the dark rituals of these clubs. When they will see how their king is cast into the lake of fire, having lost all their ground and power, the expectation at that point is going to be the beyond the term unpleasant and frightening.

A court case, where gods (elohim = sons of YHWH = angelic beings) are in the dock being charged and condemned.
Note the maladies of these gods:
1. They are mighty - thus they have the power and authority to discharge their responsibilities
2. They judge unjustly
3. They accept, bear, carry, support, sustain, endure, forgive the guilty wicked criminal
4. They are to judge, govern and vindicate, the poor and powerless, those in want and subject to oppression and abuse
5. They are to justify, vindicate the cause of, save the poor, afflicted, humble, wretched and those in want
6. They are to bring them to security and safety, snatch them away and save them from the power of the wicked criminal
7. However, they know not nor are acquainted, they do not have discernment nor understanding, they stumble around in darkness
Those who explain this a human judges has to explain the "judges" die like "men" and fall like princes. What is the meaning of "die like men" if all men died or are going to die, billions of them? These angelic beings are going to die like men – they were NOT men.

1.12 Conclusion
I believe that Ps 82 is one of the most important prophesies of the end-times.
Considering the charges (using the meaning of the Hebrew words) against these gods (elohim) is to perturbed about the implications of this council sitting, if one is at all assigned with any authority over others.
I believe that the satan and his minions have managed to pervert some very pivotal portions of scripture, and especially the interpretations given in these portions, in order to hide his malevolent intentions and activities, especially Ps 82.
I believe, as it is clearly shown in the study below, that there is a close connection between the spiritual realm and our human realm, specifically concerning the discharging of duties that comes with authority. This is very applicable to spiritual leaders that needs to look after the well-being of YESHUA's sheep.
I am convinced that the satan is waiting for the best moment to complete the scissors movement of the last few months. When Christians find that their world has changed irrevocably having become extremely dangerous and toxic, and especially when the pre-trib rapture proves to be a damb squib, they will try to understand and find answers to the unexpected confusing and painful circumstances. YESHUA's single most repeated warning and instructions were "be not deceived", and "watch and pray".
When I realised in the early part of 2020 that the pandemic was a massive delusion, I was so worried and concerned. This was a sudden shift in perception, from fearing death through the virus to persecution and death by the spirit world. Realising that this was not the plan of man, it was way beyond man's intelligence and control, on a worldwide scale last seen with the tower of Babel, I frantically started to study revelation and Daniel trying to match the current events to that of the prophesies.
Not finding those "hooks", a turned to YHWH, and slowly became aware of the vast amount of information about the spirit world and its influence on our daily lives. I have to mention Michael Heiser as he was instrumental in speeding up my understanding by decades. I am extremely grateful to the man.
There were several paradigm shifts in my mind, one is the realization that the nations were given over to YHWH to the "sons of YHWH", being of the higher levels in the spirit hierarchy. See De 32:8. These were fallen, when they rebelled with the dragon, and they are to judged - Ps 82. YHWH then chose Israel as His nation.
But thank YHWH, through YESHUA I can also be grafted into the olive tree, and have Abraham as my (adopted) father.
Going through the Bible, researching every occurence of "gods" (elohim), is an eye-opener. Confessing the sins of my forefathers (and mothers) that dabbled in the occult (divination, clearviance, ghost stories, fear) but also realising that YHWH is in control.
He IS the Elohim of elohims, He has specified the future. Yes, I may not make it through the great tribulation, but I CAN OVERCOME EVEN WHEN BEING MURDERED. Looking at the scripture through "It is written" and the effect gives me hope. And the angel revealing to Daniel :
Da 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Whao. The scripture that we read was copied from scripture written in heaven!!!!
