If Satan is alive upon the planet earth, which companies do you think that he would be behind if he owned them behind the scenes?
One evil company is bought out by another evil company making one big global evil company?
Evil company one?
Evil company two?
Who is the Devil?
According to the Bible, the devil once had an exalted name.His name was Lucifer which means "light bearer."
A review of Isaiah 14:12-17 and Ezekiel 28:12-18 reveals that Lucifer was once an anointed cherub in Heaven.
Eventually, he became arrogant and self seeking.
He became dissatisfied with God’s kingdom, God’s laws, and the way God was running the universe.
Because of hatred for Christ, he recruited one-third of Heaven’s angels to join him in rebellion against Christ.
Thus, Lucifer is the original "anti-Christ."
The Father did everything possible to divert Lucifer’s course of action, but the devil would not relent. According to Isaiah 14:12, Lucifer and his angels were cast out of Heaven because of rebellion.
Jesus told His disciples, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven." (Luke 10:18)
Angry and embittered by his fallen state, Lucifer focused his wrath on Christ’s special handiwork – planet Earth.
The devil went to the Garden of Eden and he led Eve to disobey God.
Then, Eve seduced Adam and he disobeyed God.
The devil did not stop his work there.
Cain, the firstborn of Adam and Eve, became a murderer.
As time went by, human beings became so defiled by sin that God was grieved that He had even made man! (Genesis 6)
Consequently, God washed the Earth clean of sin with a flood of water, sparing just eight people – Noah and his family.
The flood may have slowed the devil down for a few years, but Peter tells us the devil is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour! (1 Peter 5:8,9)
Satan Appears as an Angel of Light
When Satan appears, his radiant countenance will dazzle the people of Earth. Millions will eagerly believe his claims that he is God because of his appearance alone. Paul says, ". . . for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."(2 Corinthians 11:14)
Revelation says the wicked will be awestruck when they actually see the devil! ". . . The inhabitants of the Earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast . . . ." (Revelation 17:8, italics mine.)
Satan’s first work after appearing "in the flesh" as a brilliant God-man will be to convince the world that he is divine – that he is actually who he claims to be.
Paul warns, "Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day (the second coming) will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, and even sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. . . .
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved." (2 Thessalonians 2:3,4,9,10)
Satan's Great Deception
To convince people that he is God, Satan will use one miracle above all others – he will actually call fire down out of Heaven at will!This "proof of divinity" will secure his deception. Because the 144,000 will not have this specific miracle working power, the devil will eclipse their power and bring their ministry to an end.
(Revelation 11:7) John says, "And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to Earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the Earth . . . ." (Revelation 13:13,14)
Remember, the appearing of the devil is "a powerful delusion" sent from God.
The devil is granted power to call fire down from Heaven because God is bringing the offer of salvation to an end.
Prior to the devil’s appearing, God put forth the clearest evidences of truth before the human race through the testimony of His 144,000 servants.
God wants people to worship Him on the basis of "Spirit and truth," not miracles! (John 4:23)
Therefore, God reduces the ministry and power of His servants while increasing the deceptive powers of the Antichrist.
John describes the appearing of the devil as a "lamb-like" beast. (Revelation 13:11)
The intended contrast is obvious. Depending on the Bible translation, Revelation refers to Jesus as the "Lamb" 30 or more times.
John describes Satan as a "lamb-like" beast because the devil masquerades as Jesus.
John warns that Satan will make every effort to deceive the world into believing that he is worthy of worship.
When Satan appears, every quadrant of Earth will have experienced massive destruction.
Extreme suffering will be everywhere.
Earth’s skies will have been dark for a long time, and millions of people (perhaps billions) will have grown deathly ill from famine.
The death toll will be numberless, and millions of people will die every day from plague and disease.
People will be filled with despair, and religious leaders will constantly reprimand sinners, telling them to repent and worship God so that His wrath will subside.
Religious persecution and intolerance will be everywhere because Babylon (the coalition of religious leaders) will be determined to appease God at any cost.
(What other option do they have?) Foremost in all people’s minds will be the question, "What more can we do to appease God so that He will end our suffering?"
In the midst of this hellish nightmare, the devil suddenly appears.
Satan uses incredible displays of signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the very elect. (Matthew 24:24-25)
His purpose has always been to destroy this world because it is the handiwork of Christ.
(His evil companies harm the earth and it's people)
When Satan’s day of opportunity comes, it will be the perfect moment for him to fulfill this ambition.
The devil will capitalize on the rebellious hearts of the wicked.
He will lead the majority of the world away from hearing and believing the truth preached by God’s servants, the 144,000.
Because of the miracles that he has power to do, the devil will deceive or destroy everyone but the saints.
After he gains control of Earth’s nations, he will command the people of the world to worship "the image" or die! Revelation 13:15 says, "He, [Satan] . . . caused all who refused to worship the image to be killed."
