I tell you what the Holy Spirit teaches me. His unfathomable love for the angelic creation is Elohim’s motive for our entire existence in Time. This is one reason the first character introduced in Scripture is Satan and this is but one reason Elohim declared war between Satan and Messiah in Genesis 3:15 and this is why the Gospel, the battle strategy, is first proclaimed in Genesis 3:21…this sets the stage for the entirety of the Canon as we possess it (1 John 3:8b).
Satan’s rebellion and the one-third of the angelic creation that followed Satan in that rebellion created a divine conundrum for Elohim. If He simply destroyed Satan and the rebellious angels for their mutiny, Elohim risked alienating true love, relationship with, worship from, His faithful angelic creation.
Had Elohim destroyed the rebellious Cherub, those faithful angels would no longer love and respect Elohim for “who” He is but for “what” He is…that rash act would certainly destroy the free will love and adoration of the angelic creation as they would see Elohim as a tyrant and a relationship of fear would prevail. Free will love and adoration and relationship would be ultimately destroyed. Elohim enjoys and receives great pleasure from His cherished angelic creation.
Our entire creation is Elohim’s plan to defeat the rebellious Cherub while maintaining love and relationship with His faithful angelic creation that He adores beyond human comprehension.
The entire creation narrative was initiated for the sole reason of Satan’s rebellion, Elohim’s selfless response to same where the rebellious Cherub is made impotent through Elohim’s selfless love at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b). The previous 6000-years of war and Hell on Earth will act as an eternal bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom and Elohim is adored and admired and worshiped for His incredible grace and mercy lavished upon a created people group who murdered Him yet He lives and He loves and forgives while desiring an eternal relationship with His created Human Kind.
Ultimately, the Millennial Reign of Jesus will forever prove to the faithful angelic creation that their former leader, Satan, is the culprit for suffering, death, horror, as Satan will be bound for 1000-years and pure PEACE will reign upon the Earth; then, Jesus will release Satan at the culmination of the Millennial Kingdom and Satan will, once again, deceive the Nations and make war with the Lamb…Satan’s eternity will be the fires of Hell, forever (Rev 20:10) and the faithful angels will wholeheartedly concur with Elohim that Satan does deserve incarceration for Eternity; this, while Elohim is adored and honored by the angelic and human creations for His unfathomable love, gift of grace and peace.
As you read through the Scriptures again…keep this scenario in mind…ask the Holy Spirit to point out specific relevant turning points as you proceed through The Flood, Noah-Shem-Abraham-Isaac-Jacob-Judah…Sinai-Torah-the prophets-the Gospels, the Acts-the Letters of the Apostles…see for yourself the reasoning behind our presence within a temporary Realm of Time and physics. We were created in response to war; we exist within a war that rages on around us and through us, daily. Jesus and His servants are Warriors.
