The Forces of Evil Are Exalted

The forces of evil are exalted

in the high places

the forces of evil are exalted

in the empty spaces

filled overflowing with oozing puss

from a gangrenous festering sore

for evil is an infection

 

Forces of evil always shun the Lord

deluded deceived deception

from evil’s inception

exalting himself

Lucifer

 

How you have fallen from heaven,

morning star, son of the dawn!

You have been cast down to the earth,

you who once laid low the nations!

You said in your heart,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will raise my throne

above the stars of God;

I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,

on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. 

I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High.”

But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,

to the depths of the pit.

 

The forces of evil are exalted

within every institution

once sound foundation

now eroding, corrupting every nation

 

Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”

“I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

 

The forces of evil are exalted

every place

everywhere

within the vacant stare in every walking dead eye

every perverse tongue

Babel mingled with venom

 

A sea of souls resembling  empty exoskeletons

minds freely given over to captivity

spirits blinded by the lies of darkness mistaking it for enlightenment

 

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven

against

all ungodliness and unrighteousness

of men,

who

by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 

For what can be known about God is plain to them,

because God has shown it to them. 

For his invisible attributes,

namely,

his eternal power and divine nature,

have been clearly perceived,

ever since the creation of the world, 

in the things that have been made.

So

they are without excuse. 

For although they knew God,

they did not honor him as God

or give thanks to him,

but they became futile in their thinking,

and their foolish hearts were darkened. 

Claiming to be wise,

they became fools, 

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals

and creeping things.

Therefore

God gave them up

in the lusts of their hearts to impurity,

to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 

because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie

and worshiped and served the creature

rather than the Creator,

who is blessed forever! Amen.

For this reason

God gave them up to dishonorable passions.

For their women exchanged natural relations

for those that are contrary to nature; 

and the men likewise

gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another,

men committing shameless acts with men

and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God,

God gave them up to a debased mind

to do what ought not to be done. 

They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness,

evil,

covetousness,

malice.

They are full of envy,

murder,

strife,

deceit,

maliciousness.

They are gossips, 

slanderers,

haters of God,

insolent,

haughty,

boastful,

inventors of evil,

disobedient to parents, 

foolish,

faithless,

heartless,

ruthless. 

Though they know God’s righteous decree

that those who practice such things deserve to die,

they not only do them

but give approval to those who practice them.

 

The forces of evil are to be crushed

not constrained

utterly

totally removed

as the Lord Jesus Christ returns

a

Second

and

Final time

 

Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse.

Its rider

is called Faithful

and True

and with justice he judges and makes war. 

His eyes were like a fiery flame, 

and many crowns were on his head. 

He had a name written that no one knows

except himself. 

He wore a robe dipped in blood, 

and his name is called the Word of God. 

The armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses, wearing pure white linen. 

A sharp sword came from his mouth,

so

that

he might strike the nations with it. 

He will rule them with an iron rod. 

He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. 

And he has a name written

on his robe

and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

 

Then

I saw an angel standing in the sun,

and he called out in a loud voice,

saying to all the birds flying high overhead,

“Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 

so that you may eat the flesh of kings,

the flesh of military commanders,

the flesh of the mighty,

the flesh of horses and of their riders,

and the flesh of everyone,

both free and slave, small and great.”

Then

I saw the beast,

the kings of the earth,

and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse

and against his army. 

But the beast was taken prisoner,

and along with it the false prophet,

who had performed the signs in its presence.

He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast

and those who worshiped its image

with these signs.

Both of them

were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 

The rest were killed with the sword

that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse,

and all the birds ate their fill of their flesh.

 

The forces of evil have their time of being exalted

evil in full knowledge its time is running out

quickly

therefore

prepare the storehouse of your soul, your spirit

your mind

your heart

in the ways

will

and

Word of God

to withstand the days

not being deceived

to hear upon the final eternal transformation

“Well done faithful servant enter into your rest”
