(4) KNOW the ENEMY and his ARMY (1) - 6 November 2017
In the Book of Ephesians (Eph. 6:12) we read that we are fighting not only against human (physical opponents) but AGAINST the evil DESPOTISMS - oppressions, dominations, cruelties, tyrannies, dictatorships, regimes, governments, rules, leaderships - the EVIL POWERS - controls, influences, doMINIONS - rulers - spirits of CONTROL - the chief, principal, leading, dominant, controlling and directing MASTER SPIRITS - the SPIRIT FORCES (STRENGTHS) of WICKEDNESS in the HEAVENLY SUPERNATURAL SPHERE.
This is a BIG MOUTHFUL. We are NOT ONLY fighting against the devil - who is the EVIL PRINCE of "darkness" the EVIL GENIUS RULER of the WORLD as Yahshua Himself stated in John 14:30 "I will not talk with you much more for the PRINCE (EVIL GENIUS RULER of the world is coming ...")
but
he as the PRINCE of EVILNESS has his OWN KINGDOM AND HIS OWN evil ARMY.
His ARMY - his EVIL HOST of HELPERS consist of the FALLEN ONES - all the ANGELS that followed Lucifer in his rebellion against YHWH (one third of the heavenly host - Rev. 12:4. 9) - they are the despotisms - the evil powers - the MASTER SPIRITS - chief, principal, leading, dominant, controlling and directing spirits - the SPIRIT FORCES of WICKEDNESS in the HEAVENLY SUPERNATURAL SPHERE.
But there are more:-
Gen. 6 tells us about the Nephilim - Gen. 6:4 "The NEPHILIM were on the earth in those days - AND ALSO AFTERWARD - when the angels of YHWH went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They (the children) were the HEROES (hijackers - captors - super-beings - conquerors - kidnappers - jailors - hostage takers - idols) OF OLD, MEN OF RENOWN (INCARNATIONS - gods (idols) - ARRIVALS - APPEARANCES - PERSONIFICATIONS - AVATARS - MANIFESTATIONS).
:5 YHWH saw how GREAT man's WICKEDNESS (EVILNESS - BADNESS - IMPIETY - UNGODLINESS - TRANSGRESSIONS) on the earth had become, and that EVERY INCLINATION (feeling) of the THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART was ONLY EVIL ALL the TIME.
:6 Elohim YHWH was GRIEVED that He had made man on the earth AND HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH PAIN."
SOMETHING WENT VERY WRONG:
When we read Gen. 6:4 we see clearly that something went very wrong - an EVILNESS CAME UPON the EARTH - some INVASION of SOME SORT - AN INFRINGEMENT - AN INTRUSION - AN INTERFERENCE [intrusion] that was NOT NORMAL - AN ANNEXATION - A SEIZURE or CAPTURE - AN INFILTRATION AND PENETRATION THAT WAS BARBARIC AND HORRIFIC.
It was so EVIL and CORRUPTED that Scripture tells us that when YHWH saw how GREAT WICKEDNESS (EVILNESS - BADNESS - IMPIETY - UNGODLINESS - TRANSGRESSIONS) on the earth had become, and that EVERY INCLINATION (feeling) of the THOUGHTS OF the HEART was ONLY EVIL ALL the TIME - YHWH was GRIEVED that He had made man on the earth AND HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH PAIN (Gen. 6:5-6).
The EVILNESS that came upon the earth was so bad that it was irreversible and not repairable and God said in Gen. 6:7, 9 "I WILL WIPE MANKIND, WHOM I HAVE CREATED from the FACE of the EARTH - MEN AND ANIMALS, and CREATURES that MOVE ALONG the GROUND, and the BIRDS OF THE AIR - for I AM GRIEVED that I HAVE MADE THEM. But NOAH FOUND FAVOR in the EYES of YAHWEH."
More about the NEPHILIM and it's OFFSPRING:
A NEPHILIM BEING: According to research on this topic, the Nephilim were a race of GIANTS (born with evilness inside of them because their father was a fallen angel) - their size came from the MIXTURE of DEMONIC DNA with HUMAN DNA (genetics). The Nephilim offspring inherit it's human SOUL from the human parent but the spirit part from the angel (their father) - as YHWH'S BREATH - His SPIRIT OF LIFE - is not BREATHED INTO DEMONIC beings but into His created beings as in Gen. 2:7 "Then YHWH G-d formed man from the dust of the ground and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS the BREATH or SPIRIT of LIFE, and MAN BECAME a LIVING BEING." Nephilim is HYBRID or AVATAR BEINGS with a HUMAN SOUL but DEMONIC SPIRIT.
THE ANGELS OF YHWH KNEW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SIN:
In the Book of Enoch we read in chapter 6:2 "And the angels, the children of heaven, SAW AND LUSTED AFTER them and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' "
:3-5 "And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a GREAT SIN. :4 And they all answered him and said: Let us ALL SWEAR AN OATH, and ALL BIND OURSELVES by MUTUAL IMPRECATIONS NOT TO ABANDON THIS PLAN BUT TO DO THIS thing. :5 Then WHORE THEY ALL TOGETHER AND BOUND THEMSELVES by MUTUAL IMPRECATIONS UPON IT."
200 ANGELS DESCENDED ON MOUNT HERMON (FORBIDDEN PLACE):
Enoch 6:6 "And they were in all two hundred; who descended [in the DAYS OF JARED] on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual oaths upon it.
:7 And these are there the names of their leaders: Semiazaz their leader, Arakiba, Rameel, Kokabiel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Danel, Ezeqeel, ... :8 ... the CHIEFS OF TENS."
THEY TOOK THEMSELVES WIVES AND THEY BORE GREAT GIANTS
Enoch 7:1-4 "And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they BEGAN TO GO IN UNTO THEM AND TO DEFILE [corrupt, ruin, pollute, degrade, spoil, contaminate] THEMSELVES WITH THEM, and THEY TAUGHT THEM CHARMS AND ENCHANTMENTS, and the CUTTING OF ROOTS, and MADE THEM ACQUAINTED WITH PLANTS. AND THEY BECAME PREGNANT, and THEY BARE GREAT GIANTS, WHOSE HEIGHT WAS THREE THOUSAND ELL,WHO CONSUMED ALL the ACQUISITIONS OF MEN. And when MEN COULD NO LONGER SUSTAIN them, THE GIANTS TURNED AGAINST THEM AND DEVOURED [destroyed, ruined, damaged, wiped out, consumed, ate] MANKIND.
THE GIANTS SINNED AGAINST BIRDS, BEASTS, REPTILES AND FISH
the ORIGIN of the DINOSAURS
Enoch 7:5-6 "And they BEGAN to SIN against BIRDS, and BEASTS, and REPTILES, and FISH, and to DEVOUR ONE ANOTHERS FLESH, and DRINK the BLOOD. Then the earth laid accusations against the lawless ones."
THE OFFSPRING of the NEPHILIM became PART of the ARMY of the KINGDOM of DARKNESS
As we can determine from the Book of Genesis and the Book of Enoch, there was an EVIL RACE on EARTH -
At first the ANGEL-HUMAN (Nephilim) GIANTS - then when man could no longer sustain these evil giants the giants turned on man and devoured them and sinned against the birds, beasts and reptiles and fish and new hybrid Nephilim beings came into existence devouring each other and drinking each other's blood.
When they SINNED (SEXUALLY) according to Enoch 7:5-6 the next Nephilim beings came into existence (Dinosaurs).

angel-human GIANTS-BEASTS
angel-human GIANTS-REPTILES
angel-human GIANTS-FISH
Now we can realize why YHWH was GRIEVED and DECIDED to DESTROY MAN AND BEAST AND BIRDS from the FACE of the EARTH and ONLY NOAH and through Noah - Noah's family was spared. These Nephilim beings after their deaths became the DEMON-ARMY of SATAN.
To be able to STAND AGAINST these evil forces, we need to be FOUNDED AND RESTING in MESSIAH YAHSHUA - we NEED to HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the WORD OF YHWH GOD - we NEED to WALK in an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with our KING - we NEED to BE OBEDIENT to HIS WORD AND HIS COMMANDS/COMMANDMENTS - so that we can STAND FIRMLY CLOTHED WITH THE FUL ARMOR fighting the good fight of FAITH.
IMPORTANT - REPENTANCE:
Above all we NEED to BE CLEANSED and WASHED in the BLOOD of the LAMB by REPENTANCE and ASKING FORGIVENESS of ALL the INIQUITIES in our LIVES that is NOT FROM YHWH - also GENERATIONAL INIQUITIES. Without BEING CLEANSED of our SINS and WALKING IN OBEDIENCE to the WORD OF YHWH we WILL NEVER BE ABLE to WALK IN VICTORY for if we are CLEANSED - COVERED in the BLOOD of MESSIAH we are FUNCTIONING UNDER the BLESSINGS of our KING - in HIS ARK OF PROTECTION - IN HIS PRESENCE - HIM DWELLING IN US - PROTECTING US - WARNING US - GIVING US WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING and STRENGTH to WALK the WALK and TALK the TALK of FAITH in HIM HABITUALLY.
