The Remaining Seven.

In Luke 19:10- 28 Jesus gave a parable of His Second Coming: "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of G-d should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come (back). But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And another (the third) came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem."

Dear One, there were ten servants - two were rewarded and one was judged (and the enemies were slain) what about the remaining seven?

The remaining seven are the seven churches and judgment begins at the house of the Lord. Jesus is warning the remaining seven that when He returns - He will judge them. G-d created demons as part of the angelic realm originally (Col.1:16). Satan has been called “Prince of the demons” – Matt.12:24; the Devil and his angels – Matt.25:41). Demons (fallen angels) are described throughout the Scriptures (Dan.10:10-20; Matt.10:1; Eph.6:12). At the fall of Satan, a third of the angelic host fell with Satan (Rev.12:4 – the imagery of Satan as a “dragon” and angels/demons as “stars”). These fallen angels and Satan are the third "wicked servant" that have already been judged and on Jesus Christ's return will then be slain before Him. In Revelation 19:1-3 we read: "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our G-d: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever."

We know from Revelation 18: And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. I believe that Babylon and her harlot daughters are the denominational churches that are obviously divided and have drawn men unto them rather than unto the Lord. Demons are involved in carrying out Satan’s deceiving plans (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough." (2 Cor.11:12-15) "And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. Demons promote idolatry (Lev.17:7; Deut.32:17; Ps.106:36-38). Demons are active in hindering the spiritual progress of believers every way they can (see Satan’s activities). They are deliberate and organized in these attempts (Eph.6:10-12). Demons promote false teaching (1 Tim.4:1). That is why demons are in the denominational churches to lead believers away from Jesus.

Demons can also possess and afflict people - and cause numerous physical ailments e.g.,dumbness – Matt.9:32,33; blindness – Matt.12:22; convulsions – Matt.17:15-18; Mark 9:20; self-injury – Mark 5:5; 9:22. Demons cause mental disorders (withdrawal, nudity, filth, irrational behavior – Luke 8:27-29; suicidal mania – Mark 9:22. Demons promote selfishness and division in the church (James 3:13-16). Demons cause us to miss the mark of our high calling in many, many ways. See my teachings on deliverance - the greatest lie that the demons have taught the denominational church to beLIEve and teach is that a believer can not have or be afflicted by a demon.

In Revelation 14: 1-7 we read: " And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb (John 10:27) whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto G-d and to the Lamb. And in their (one) mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of G-d. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear G-d, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." These virgins are not found in the great whore or her harlot daughters - that is why they are 144,000 virgins with only one mouth!

The two witnesses in Revelation Chapter 11 verse 5 also only have one mouth. There is only one Overcomer in Revelation as John discusses all seven churches John always concludes with: "To him (not them) that overcometh" In Isaiah 51:11 we read: "Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their (one) head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee away."

In Ephesians 4: 11- 16 we read: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the (one) body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the (only) Son of God, unto a perfect (one) man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the (one) head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the (one) body unto the edifying of itself in love." Do you still need to ask Jesus (Ephesians 4:20-24) who that "one" is?

We know that when Jesus returns He is coming back as the King of kings and the Lord of lords - this title is found in three places in the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, and Revelation 19:16. Jesus will then judge the living and the dead. "Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that awful day, when the heavens and the earth shall be moved: when you will come to judge the world by fire." Are you ready dear one?
