How Many Angels Fell?

Angel 09073

The other day I was asked “how many angels fell with Satan when he was cast out?” I wanted to research my answer a little. Today there are many conversations about angels, what kinds and what they do. So today let’s focus just on the how many part.
According to Revelation 5:11, Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
That’s a lot. That is a number that can only be guessed at. 10,000 times 10,000 is ONE HUNDRED MILLION but the bible reads thousands upon thousands which added to the ONE HUNDRED MILLION pushes it to the infinity mark.
To drive this home, we read the following.

Hebrews 12:22King James Version (KJV)
22 But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
A NUMBER THAT CAN NOT BE COUNTED SO WE SEE WE CAN NEVER KNOW THIS NUMBER TILL WE REACH HEAVEN AND GAIN OUR GODLY KNOWLEDGE.
Sometimes questions like this are asked to distract us from what really matters. the key to this life in Christ is this and this statement only.

1 John 4:4 (KJV)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
King James Version (KJV)Public Domain
Greater is the God that dwells in us than the Fallen angel Satan that is in this world. Glory Glory.

Job 38:4-7Living Bible (TLB)
4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.
5 Do you know how its dimensions were determined, and who did the surveying?
6-7 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? The Living Bible copyright © 1971 by Tyndale House Foundation.
Angels are Created beings they were there before the creation of the world.

Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all that he had made, and it was excellent in every way. This ended the sixth day. [a]
Footnotes: Genesis 1:31 This ended the sixth day, literally, “And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day (or ‘period of time’).”

At the end of day six God looks at everything he had made and it was excellent. So by deduction Satan had not fell at this time.
We do not know when his fall was, but we do know he did fall, sorry let me rephrase that in Tennessee English, he was kicked out, but we don’t know when.

Luke 10:17-18 (KJV)
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
King James Version (KJV)Public Domain
So let’s try to find a number for the fallen angels or kicked out angels.

Revelation 9King James Version (KJV)
9 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Satan is called a star in this last verse we read.

Revelation 12:3-9King James Version (KJV)
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
King James Version (KJV)

So by deduction again we see Satan referred to as a star and one third of the stars cast out with him.
So what do we know. We have one third of an uncountable number being cast down.
THE OTHER THING IS THAT TWO THRIDS OF A UNCOUNTABLE NUMBER STILL SERVE GOD.
SO FOR EVERY ONE FALLEN ANGEL WE HAVE TWO GODLY ANGELS TO BATTLE FOR GOD AND US.
Mat 28:18 (KJV) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. King James Version (KJV) Public Domain
LET ME TELL YOU CHILD OF GOD WE HAVE NO WORRYS “ALL POWER IS WAS GIVEN TO OUR KING AND SAVOUR JESUS CHRIST.”

 

Our Battle

southeastusa

Over the last few weeks there has been interest in the ministry from all over the south east, that is not by chance God has a word for each of you and the churches that you are in.

Colossians 2:15 (KJV)

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Our victory is now Christ Jesus won this battle for each of us and every believer to come.

Exodus 23:29-30(KJV)

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

In the book of Exodus God give us his plan for our lives, we will all have battles and test. Just as He spoke to the children of Israel he speaks to us these thinks are progressive. Each battles that is won you become stronger you will increase; your inheritance becomes larger.

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

When we move from the example to real life we need to see that we are in a spiritual battle. In your life it is not just for land or property. It is your spirit self.

Christ won the battle over darkness and sin if you believe on Him.

So some of you say well why can’t I just sit and enjoy life?

Here is your answer.

Exodus 23:29-30(KJV)

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

You will be increased little by little. Each battle will make you stronger each battle brings more trust in Him Christ Jesus.

God moves before us pushing and enlarging with each battle. If we can’t fill it Satan will.
Matthew 12:44-45 (KJV)

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

So we must trust God and win our battles. God will not have you fight a battle you cannot win.

To any Pastor out there reading this.

There has been a trend to Go and build big big churches then try to fill it.
That is not Gods way, fill your little church first and let God bless you with the next size up. That is Gods will.

Each and every person out there needs to realize that this is a lifetime of battles and a lifetime of growing Christ does not want you saved and satisfied that will bring you a soured and spoiled life just seeking after a goose bump once a week while others get blessed.
The apostle Paul after a lifetime of serving Christ as he was getting ready to meet the chopping block cried out “That I may know him,” Philippians 3:10 (KJV).

Trust in Christ you have the ability thru him to win every battle. Whatever comes your way. You may have lost your house your property even friends and family.
I speak unto you life in Jesus name you are a winner. You will not die but you will Grow stronger in Jesus name.
