NEXT MAN UP

Many claim there is a spiritual war going on. . .


Of course there is. That is precisely why in Genesis 2:1 God called man ​(Hebrew) tsâbâ’—mistranslated by man as “host.”

“6635 tsâbâ’; or tseba’ah from 6633; a mass of persons (or fig. ​things), espec. reg. organized for war (an army); by impl. a ​campaign, lit. or fig. (spec. hardship, worship): - appointed time, ​(+) army, (+) battle, company, host, service, soldiers, waiting ​upon, war (-fare).”**

Just prior to this in Genesis 1:28, God instructed man to most notably kâbash and râdâh that which is (Hebrew) ’erets—mistranslated by man as ​“earth.”

“3533 kâbash; a prim. root; to tread down; hence neg. to disregard; ​pos. to conquer, subjugate, violate: - bring into bondage, force, ​keep under, subdue, bring into subjection.”**

“7287 râdâh; a prim. root; to tread down, i.e. subjugate; spec. to ​crumble off: - (come to, make to) have dominion, prevail ​against...”**

“776 ’erets; from an unused root prob. mean. to be firm; the earth ​(at large, or partitively a land)...”**

But what does this mean?

Matthew 12:43-45 (KJV) tell us:

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through ​dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 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. 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.”*

Jesus first indicates the “status quo,” after an “unclean spirit” is cast out of ​a man. Then Jesus indicates that a change in this status quo will be ​coming; but will not apply to the audience: “Even so shall it be also unto ​this wicked generation.” Thus this “wicked generation” will be left with ​only the power to obtain the stated “status quo” result.

John 14:12 (KJV) tells us:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that ​I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because ​I go unto my Father.”*

This: “greater works,” seems to be a rather odd thing to for the Son of an ​omnipotent God to say; as it would at first seem that “greater works” would ​require greater power. If this were so, then an explanation would be ​required as to precisely how one obtains greater power than omnipotence. ​However; omnipotent and omnikinetic are not the same thing. There are ​many who proffer that in this particular context: “greater works” does not ​mean: “greater works;” but “greater numbers of works.” However there is ​no Greek word for “numbers” in this “greater works;” but only the Greek:

“3187 mĕizōn; irreg. compar. of 3173; larger (lit. or fig., spec. in age): - ​elder, greater (-est), more.”**

“2041 ĕrgŏn; from a prim. (but obsol.) ĕrgō (to work); toil (as an effort ​or occupation); by impl. an act: - deed, doing, labour, work.”**

Luke 10:19 (KJV) tells us:

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and ​over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt ​you.”*

There are two KJV English translations as “power” in this verse; but the ​Greek words translated as such are not the same.


The first “power,” the one that Jesus will be providing man in the future, ​after He: “go unto my Father;” is the Greek:

“1849 ĕxŏusia; from 1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, i.e. (subj.) ​force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (obj.) mastery (concr. ​magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated ​influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.”**

And the second “power,” the one: “of the enemy,” is the Greek:

“1411 dunamis; from 1410; force (lit. or fig.); spec. miraculous power ​(usually by impl. a miracle itself): - ability, abundance, meaning, ​might (-ily, -y, -y deed), worker of) miracle (-s), power, strength, ​violence, mighty (wonderful) work.”**

The difference, is the matter of authority. The Greek dunamis, represents ​supernatural power, but only as a potential; while ĕxŏusia represents ​supernatural power plus the authority to use it; i.e.; dunamis plus ​authority.

Thus the: “greater works” capability of which Jesus spoke, is not the result ​of an omnipotent God obtaining more power; as that is not possible. This ​“greater works” is the result of reclaiming the authority to use it; which ​happened at the little understood post-Calvary “Descension.”

And what will this ĕxŏusia give man the capability to do? The KJV again ​tells us: “to tread on...;” with the actual Greek word being:

“3961 patĕō; from a der. prob. of 3817 (mean. a “path”); to trample (lit, ​or fig.): - tread, (down, underfoot).”**

If this New Testament Greek patĕō definition sounds a bit familiar; it is ​because of what God instructed man to do in Genesis 1:28, in Old ​Testament Hebrew kâbash and râdâh. But here man is given specific ​instructions as to the target; unlike in Genesis 1:28 where the target was ​much more general, that which is firm, via ’erets.

And although these “treading targets” are translated as “serpents and ​scorpions;” these are actually the Greek:

“3789 ŏphis; prob. from 3700 (through the idea of sharpness of vision); ​a snake, fig. (as type of sly cunning) an artful malicious person, espec. ​Satan: - serpent.”**

“4649 skŏpŏs (“scope”); from skĕptŏmai (to peer about [“skeptic”]; ​perh. akin to 4626 through the idea of concealment; comp. 4629); a ​watch (sentry or scout), i.e. (by impl.) a goal: - mark.”**

[It should be noted that Strong misattributes “scorpions” to 4651 skŏrpiŏs, ​rather than 4649 skŏpŏs; hence the mistranslation as “scorpions,” and not ​concealed entities that: “peer about.”]

What is an ŏphis?

The Greek ŏphis appears in Revelation 12:9, KJV translated as ​“serpent:”**

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.”*

It should be asked how similar this New Testament Greek 3961 patĕo: “to ​trample (lit, or fig.); is to the Old Testament Hebrew 3533 kâbash: “to tread ​down,” and 7287 râdâh: “to tread down, i.e. subjugate; spec. to crumble ​off?”

These Old Testament instructions to man in Genesis 1:28 in-toto, refer to ​the general (Hebrew) 776 ’erets: “to be firm,” KJV translated as “earth;” ​while Jesus’ provision of (Greek) 3961 patĕo: “to trample (lit, or fig.)” ​“power,” refers specifically to that which was: “cast out into the earth, and ​his angels were cast out with him.”

Thus it would seem that whether or not there is a “spiritual war”going on, ​would be a question that need not be asked. The real question is whether ​or not this is even debatable.

“The biggest handicap ​to winning, is not ​understanding the ​enemy.”

—Walker

“LUKE 6:43-45 (KJV) tell us:

For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a ​corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by ​his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a ​bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good ​treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an ​evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that ​which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart.”*

“Since Satan is not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent; it would be ​both fair and useful to try to determine the level of his abilities, both pre ​and post Calvary; as well as to try and determine his “true” nature.


“And since much of this information was either never in the Bible, was ​deleted or “enhanced;” or remains mistranslated for the purpose of ​obfuscation; looking at the fruits of the: “Satan tree;” i.e.: “his own fruit,” ​would assist in determining this; i.e.; so that Satan’s: “tree is known.”


“The purpose of this is in no way to satisfy idle curiosity; or to make ​friends, in the usual: “You’ve got to get to know him.” Rather, the ​purpose of this is to aid in carefully and precisely designing that very ​weaponry which would be most effective in causing the maximum amount ​of irreparable and irreversible harm to him and his minions, his ability to ​act, or both; and aid in his ultimate destruction. And to be clear, this ​includes offensive actions, and not merely the “common understood” ​defensive measures. This must be stated clearly here, so that there is no ​chance of misunderstanding the motives.

“An analysis of the proper or “quasi-proper” names given to the enemy that ​are contained in the Scriptures—here the names that were given to the ​enemy by others; should be quite revealing with regard to the enemy’s ​“fruit.”


“And knowing this “fruit,” should be quite revealing with regard to ​knowing the “tree.”


And here this “tree,” is that which man has been instructed by God to ​defeat. Thus; knowing the actual nature of the enemy, constitutes: ​“actionable intelligence,” in this regard.

“There are many ways this analysis could be undertaken with respect to the ​order of these names; such as: order of appearances, order of occurrences, ​etc. However; it seems that the simplest and most unbiased way, would be ​to simply present these in alphabetical order.


“Thus Abaddon and Apollyon would be the first. However as soon as this is ​begun, another very serious matter arises. . .


“This matter will be addressed in the very next chapter.


“Here are the first two names (in alphabetical order):


Abaddon and Apollyon


“Revelation 9:11 (KJV) tells us:


And they had a king over them,

which is the angel of the bottomless pit

, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,

but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”*

“This actual Hebrew word “Abaddon” is listed in Strong’s Greek, and is ​actually the Greek:

“3 Abaddōn; of Heb. Or. [11]; a destroying angel: - Abaddon.”**

“This Greek word, (proper noun) Abaddōn, translated into English as ​Abaddon; appears only once in the entire King James Version of the Bible; ​here in Revelation 9:11.**


“The referenced Hebrew roots of “Abaddōn” are:

“11 ‘ăbaddôwn; intens. from 6; abstr. a perishing; concr. Hades: - ​destruction.”**


“6 ‘ăbad; a prim. root; prop. to wander away, i.e. lose oneself; by impl. ​to perish (caus. destroy) : - break, destroy (-uction), + not escape, fail, ​lose, (cause to, make) perish, spend, x and surely, take, be undone, x ​utterly, be void of, have no way to flee.”**

“The actual Greek word translated into the English “Apollyon” is:

623 Apŏlluōn; act. part. of 622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan); - Apollyon.”**


“This Greek word Apŏlluōn, translated into English as Apollyon; also ​appears only once in the entire King James Version of the Bible; here in ​Revelation 9:11.**


The purported Greek root of “Apŏlluōn” is:

“622 apŏllumi; from 575 and the base of 3639; to destroy fully (reflex. to ​perish or lose), lit. or fig.: - destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.”**
