The Message Part K

KA. Their names also include giants [Gen 6:4-5, Gen 13:13], wicked [Job 21:7, Job 20:5, Job 21:30], princes of this world [John 12:31, Eph 2:2], gods of this world [2 Cor 4:4], and children of disobedience [Eph 2:2]. 

KB. If we study the verses in JZ and KA, these names can be associated with people both inside and outside the physical church. They can also be found in positions of power [Job 21:7, Eph 6:12]. They can be renowned or influential people [Gen 6:4, *Jude 1:4] - giant denotes high, mighty, or renowned. 

KC. How is this information relevant? For example, we know that fiery serpents bit the people of Israel to death [ET - EX]. We can see the fiery serpents and others as those that are blinding the minds of men from knowing the Truth: 

KD. 2 Cor 4:4 - In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them; 

KE. Matt 23:13 - But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 

KF. By this measure, their intention is that these men in consideration should not know the Truth and shouldn’t be set free [John 8:32 - Isa 61:1]. That is, they want these men to remain dead in their sins on the last day and suffer eternal damnation. 

KG. We can also see them as rulers that create ungodly policies that support some of the things we’ve discussed such as abortion and LGBTQ rights: 

KH. Eph 6:12 - 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. 

KI. Principalities mean rulers - rulers of the darkness of this world. Powers is a reference to the wicked in power [Job 21:7]. Spiritual wickedness in high places is a reference to renowned people with wicked spirits [Isa 10:33, Isa 24:21, Ps 76:12] - Col 2:10 - Rev 1:5. 

KJ. The reference to rulers of the darkness of this world is based on the fact that there are children of light and children of darkness in this world [Eph 5:8, 1 Thess 5:5]. They are the rulers or masters of the children of darkness - those who follow their ungodly principles: 

KK. Matt 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

KL. We can easily discern that Eph 6:12 [KH] references a spiritual fight of faith to win souls so that these souls can find rest [Heb 4:3] or have eternal peace when this world is forgotten [Isa 65:17]. This can be discerned by reviewing a subsequent verse in the same chapter: 

KM. Eph 6:15 - And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. 

KN. Referencing Isa 65:17 [KL]: The men with the spirit of the Son of God - the spirit of Jesus - are the children of the kingdom. The men with the spirit of the son of perdition are the children of the wicked one [Matt 13:38]. The latter will be forgotten or considered lost: 

KO. John 17:12 - While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 

KP. As referenced in Matt 15:24, He came for the lost sheep of Israel - not the lost goats. We can also discern that the former is called all things [1 Tim 6:13] because what will be lost or forgotten won’t be a part of what will be. 

KQ. The inward man or the spirit of His children will be saved on the last day [1 Cor 5:5 - 2 Cor 4:16]. Based on our discussion, we can discern that the man of sin [...and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition] referenced in 2 Thess 2:3 is the spirit of the devil. 

KR. By extension, we can understand that the verse references men with this spirit [2 Pet 3:7 - …reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men]. 

KS. Still referencing 2 Thess 2:3: No man of this nature is worthy of His attention - assuming the verse references a single man (flesh). 

KT. It is important to remember that He is the Lord of spirits [Num 27:16, Eno 37:1’], the Lord of hosts [Ps 24:10], the Lord of all [Gal 4:1], or the all in all [1 Cor 15:28]. Exo 7:9-12, Exo 12:23, among others, illustrate this. 

KU. It is also important to note that the letters in the scripture are spiritual. That is, even the basic words such as supper [Rev 19:9], rod [Ps 23:4], table [Ps 23:5], among others, are spiritual words [John 6:63, 1 Cor 2:13]. He also does not regard persons and locations. 

KV. The Lord is not willing that any should perish [2 Pet 3:9]; however, it is our decision to choose between light or darkness [John 15:14, Luke 16:9]. 

KW. Are you wise enough to understand the length of and meaning of eternity? Do you want an endless life filled with peace and joy or an endless death filled with extreme anguish [Matt 24:51]? 

KX. If you believe in Jesus and abide in Him [1 John 2:28], you have chosen the best of two paths - an eternal life filled with joy and peace [Isa 51:11, Eze 37:26, John 14:2]. 

KY. If this message reaches your heart, please share it so that it can get to all its intended readers [John 15:3-5, Isa 2:2, Matt 5:14]. 

KZ. Beware of tares [Luke 8:12-15, 2 Thess 2:10-12, John 10:8]. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.
