Episode 259: The Terrible Ones – Satanic Elites and the Oppression of the Meek

The phrase “terrible ones” appears only three times in the Bible, yet it reveals a deep mystery concerning the enemies of God’s people. In this episode, Scott Mitchell and John Potts examine the identity and purpose of these terrible ones—those who seek to dominate and destroy the meek of the earth. From the false prophets of Israel to modern times, Scripture exposes these ruthless powers as agents of Satanic control who oppress the poor, corrupt the nations, and persecute the saints.

In this Bible study, Scott Mitchell continues The Secret of the Lord series, revealing how God’s hidden plan unfolded through a divine transition—from the gospel of the kingdom preached to Israel to the gospel of the grace of God revealed to all mankind.

As deception and false doctrine increase in these last days, Scott emphasizes the importance of understanding the mysteries of God to remain steadfast in truth. Using passages from Psalms, Matthew, Acts, and Ephesians, he traces how God used both Peter and Paul to unveil His greater purpose. Peter was given the keys to the kingdom and opened the door of faith to the Gentiles; Paul was then sent through that door with a new revelation of salvation by grace through faith.

This study explores the rejection of Israel’s kingdom message, Saul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, Peter’s vision that led to Cornelius’ salvation, and how these pivotal events marked a new dispensation—the church age founded on grace, not law.

Scott reminds believers that understanding this transition is vital to guarding against modern deception and grounding ourselves in sound doctrine. The same Lord who revealed the secret of His covenant continues to reveal the riches of His grace to those who fear Him.

Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 25:14; Matthew 10:5–7, 10:22–23; Acts 1:6–8; Acts 7:57–59; Acts 8:1; Acts 9:1–6; Acts 10:1–48; Acts 11:19; John 20:21–23; Luke 24:45–48; Ephesians 3:6

Brother Scott Mitchell continues his series The Secret of the Lord with a powerful message on how Israel’s rejection of their Messiah opened the way for God’s hidden plan of grace to be revealed. Drawing from Psalm 25:14, Matthew 3–4, and Acts 7, Scott explains how the Kingdom of Heaven was first offered to Israel as a national promise but was later withheld due to unbelief and rebellion.

Jesus and John the Baptist both preached repentance and the nearness of the Kingdom, but Israel’s refusal to receive Him led to a pivotal turning point in God’s timeline. Through the stoning of Stephen and the rise of Paul’s ministry, God unveiled a new gospel—salvation by grace through faith for all who believe.

Scott explores the difference between the gospel of the Kingdom and the gospel of grace, showing how understanding the Secret of the Lord keeps believers anchored in truth amid modern deception. This message reminds us that God’s plan was never thwarted—only expanded—so that both Jew and Gentile might receive His mercy through Christ.

Brother Scott begins a foundational series on The Secret of the Lord, revealing the spiritual truths God has reserved for those who fear Him. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, Scott explains that “the secret” is not hidden knowledge for a select few but divine counsel shared with the faithful.

In this first message, he addresses Jesus’ warning about end-time deception, Paul’s prophecy of a falling away, and the growing rejection of Pauline doctrine in the modern church. Through passages in Psalms, Proverbs, Amos, and 1 Corinthians, Scott shows how understanding the mysteries of God protects believers from apostasy and strengthens their faith in Christ’s finished work.

In this Mystery Mailbag edition, Scott Mitchell answers listener questions about demons and animals, Islamic influence in end-times prophecy, pets in heaven, the “Three Days of Darkness,” interpretations of music and symbolism, and the portrayal of biblical figures in art. These heartfelt questions reflect the curiosity and faith of believers seeking clarity through Scripture.

Listener Questions Featured

Scott discusses biblical examples such as Jesus casting devils into a herd of swine, noting that Scripture provides no indication of ongoing possession of animals beyond that account. He emphasizes discernment, prayer, and fasting when facing spiritual concerns, while recognizing that animal behavior is usually just part of their nature.

Scott explains that Satan uses all religious and political systems—not just Islam—to oppose the truth of God. He warns that persecution will come from multiple fronts, including government, false religion, and global elites, leading toward the rise of the Antichrist.

Scott offers comfort, reminding listeners that God’s love and desire for His children’s joy could include reuniting them with cherished animals. While Scripture doesn’t confirm this specifically, he encourages trust in God’s goodness and His perfect plan for eternal joy.

The Three Days of Darkness – Patrick

Dr. Barry Awe and Biblical Similitudes – Joanna

“In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” and Hidden Meaning – C. Stein

Scott notes that artistic interpretation can vary widely, much like dreams, and while it’s interesting to analyze music in a spiritual context, such connections are speculative.

In this lesson, Scott Mitchell delivers a sobering message drawn from Psalms 20 and 21, calling believers to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ rather than political movements or earthly power. As deception increases in the last days, many Christians are being enticed to believe that political action can stop evil. Yet Scripture shows that vengeance and justice belong to God alone.

Scott reminds the Church that our warfare is spiritual, not carnal. The true King—Jesus Christ—will return to execute righteous judgment, as foretold in Isaiah 63 and Revelation 19. Until that day, believers are called to endure persecution, remain steadfast in faith, and pray for those in authority rather than striving for worldly influence.
