The reapers are the angels. Can you imagine the awesomeness of it all? This isn’t some science-fiction movie, beloved, this is a true story.

The angelic host will be not only participants, but key figures in the second coming of Christ. They will be present at the rapture, present at the Bema Seat, present at the wedding of the Lamb, and at the process of separating the believers from the unbelievers at the judgment seat of Christ. Though they have been invisibly active, what they have done will seem like nothing when compared to what they will do during those exciting days.

No, God isn’t finished with them, yet. In fact, He has barely begun.

We live in a world where there is good cause to fear. Drive-by shootings, murders, rapes, senseless killings, senseless abuse. But fear is the absence of faith.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. So God’s word to us it this: “Fear not”.

This earth is headed for the graveyard, but God’s children are headed for mansions in glory.

What can Satan do to change that? Absolutely nothing.

So we continue or journey into the recesses of Scripture to see just what angels do all day.

Our tour has taken us to the edge of the sea of New Testament reality. We now enter into the life and times of Jesus and ask just what these winged wonders did all day while Jesus walked this earth.

They didn’t sit around in heaven watching on their big-screen TVs. God was in hand-to-hand combat with His enemy, and the stakes were for everything.

The angels are God’s heavy artillery, too. They are the ones who frame the heavens with unseen chariots, waiting for their Commander-in-Chief to but blink an eye, and they will move into the fray, and the nations who defy God or who deny Israel its proper respect will go down in utter defeat as they always have.

That’s what angels do all day. And aren’t you glad?

Let’s look at just what these winged wonders do all day. We looked at their fallen counterparts for several weeks and saw what they do: they harass us, tempt us, attack us, and in general try to make our lives miserable.

Welcome to the other side of the valley, beloved. Now, let’s look at these wonderful spirit beings whose duties include making our lives fruitful, joyful, and productive.

This lesson will focus on the basics: how angels are structured, how many there are, what they look like, and hopefully what God might be saying to us simply by the manner in which He made them. Scripture again will be our text.

The subject of hell is not popular. It is seldom preached and often ignored; but hell is a necessary part of our study of Satan.

In this lesson we will look at the reason for hell, the reality of hell, and reflections of hell and our response to it.

In this study, we continue our look at Satan’s tactics, and we hope to come to some conclusions about the grace of resistance.

To do that, we must look at another of the names given him and his evil buddies in the Bible, and be thus warned about additional disguises he wears.

The tempter came. What a simple statement. That is his profession, It is his underlying purpose for living. It is a reflection of the deception that dominates his every thought.

He lives to tempt you and me. He lives to trick us by dangling before us something that either appears good (but isn’t), or by luring us with something that appeals to the senses, hoping that we will take the bait, bite on the lure, and be snatched into his basket of captives, out of the reach of our Rescuer.

Of course, we never get out of the reach of the One who lives to make intercession for us. But again, Satan the deceiver, has deceived himself, so he doesn’t realize that. Again and again we see that his one purpose in existing is to get at God, and because he cannot touch God Himself, he pursues his next best option, God’s children.

What must we do to diminish what these demons do all day?

First of all, we must repent. What a dirty word in today’s religious vocabulary. But, it’s a good word in God’s Word.

It means to recognize sin for what it is and turn away from it. Not slightly away. All the way around.
