How Many Angels Fell?
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’).”
The Living Bible copyright © 1971 by Tyndale House Foundation
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)
Public Domain
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
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.
Ye Know Not What.
Please read the following scripture.
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The Lord Jesus is speaking to The Samaritan woman at Jacobs Well in Sychar. He tells her, you worship you know not what.
Many of the Church today are in that position, worshiping a God that they have been told about, but do not know.
In verse 24 Jesus says” they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth”.
A very important key is shown to us true worship comes from our sprit and in truthfulness. Just putting on a show a few days a week is not going to make it, we must come to God bare, hearted broken and in submission.
Almost to the glory, we must not just be almost but in the presence of HIS Glory.
To worship Him we must know Him. Look with me to this next scripture.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
First, (without faith) faith, as a word and as a doctrine has been taken and miss used by many. The power of the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father has been diminished to a belief in a magic. It has been in use for ages that if you just believe in what you want you can get anything, God has been moved out of the picture. This word faith has been defined in many ways; but the simplest and purest is in the above scripture. Faith is believing that God IS. The power of our Lord has been corrupted by weak minded sinful people. We must believe that God IS and That he IS ALL powerful.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Jesus The son of the Living God was given all power on heaven and earth. He doesn’t have any problem with saving a repentant sinful man nor healing the sick. Whatever is needed is available from HIM; but over the year’s people have preached a faith in faith, they have preached a name it and clam it, and fast till you get it; but let me tell you of a most radical idea given to the church by our Lord himself “All power is given unto me” Jesus said we are simply to believe that he is and a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. What a thought only to believe in him and ask. One reason that there are problems in the church today is something that is not new look with me now to another set of scripture.
.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Psa 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
Psa 50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
Let’s look at verse 21, God is speaking to the wicked and he says “thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself”.
Think about it He says you thought that I was like you, then He says literally I am going to set you straight. We all need to realize that God Is and what He Is and we are just an image of him that has been marred by sin and disbelief. God speaks in verse 7 and says “I am God even thy God”. And in verse 14 he says “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me”.
You ask, Is it that simple? Yes! God says Offer me thanks and pay the debt you promised and then call and I will answer. When you came to God you gave your life to him it is no longer your own. Take the time to start again. Just simply say forgive me Lord and I submit to your will, nothing that I have is mine; but all is yours lead me to my place in glory Amen.
God says I am not like you. Well what is He like. Let’s look to
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He is pure love. Unselfish, only that pure love could give his own son for sinful man. He is the definition of love .1 John4: 7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
God is Love. You cannot share any love unless you have that spirit of god in you because the only love that you have is the love of god that inhabits you
Exo 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
He is a jealous God that is to mean we are his and that he cannot stand it if our attention is focused anywhere else. Where is your focus? Is it on learning Christ? Knowing him must be your Focus your life.
Exo 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
In the before mentioned scripture the Lord is speaking to Moses and he says I am
merciful-(7349. rachuwm, rakh oom’; from H7355; compassionate: full of compassion, merciful) Gracious-(2587. channuwn, khan noon’; from H2603; gracious: gracious.)
Longsuffering-(750. ‘arek, aw rake’; from H748; long: long [ suffering, winged], patient, slow [to anger])
abundant in goodness-(2617. checed, kheh’ sed; from H2616; kindness; by impl. (towards God) piety; rarely (by opp.) reproof, or (subject.) beauty: favor, good deed (liness, ness), kindly, (loving)
abundant in truth-(571. ’emeth, eh’ meth; contr. from _H539; stability; fig. certainty, _truth, trustworthiness: assured _( ly), establishment, faithful, right, sure, true ( ly, The), verity.
Wow what a GOD, he spoke the universe in to existence, He created you and me from the dust of the world then why should we think that He should have in problem supplying our needs.
Jesus told Martha and all of us in John 11:40(if thou wouldest believe, thou should see the Glory of God) That is just believing that God IS and that Jesus IS and that they reward those that seek after them.
Lay aside the things of this world, the ideas that you have had concerning GOD and see A GOD that loves you and is merciful AND WILLING TO SAVE FROM SIN and heal this mortal body…. When Moses asked God what his name was He replied “I AM THAT I AM”
If you need healing God Is saying “I AM THAT”. If you need forgiving “IAM THAT”. If you need the Holy ghost “I AM THAT” Whatever your need He is that with no fancy rituals just a gracious and merciful all powerful GOD willing to give unto his children.
Glory Glory Glory
