13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is.
Satan’s Throne
The Devil Replaces New Jerusalem with Old Jerusalem (Zionism)
Where will Satan’s Throne be during Revelation?
Scriptures that give clues!
Daniel 11:45 Identifies the Location or place of Rule of the King who sets up the “Abomination of Desolation” (Daniel 11:36-38) as, “he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain.” The Glorious Holy Mountain is only Mount Zion and the sea or seas (plural rendered by many translations) around Mount Zion are the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.
Old Jerusalem is also the SAME location of where are the 2 Witnesses of Revelation 13 Prophesying? Revelation 11:8 clearly identifies the location as Jerusalem in the Middle east when it says, “their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.” The Lord was crucified in Jerusalem in the Middle East!
The showdown between Elijah and the false prophets of Baal which parallels the 2 witnesses also took place in Jerusalem. Some similarities include, Location, 3.5 years, killing of God’s true prophets, fire from sky devouring enemies & no rain or drought.
According to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 which is quoting from Daniel 11:36-38, the “man of lawlessness” or the “King of the North,” “exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Zionism, Freemasonry and many other groups will rebuild Solomon’s temple so the Jewish messiah will rule from Jerusalem in the Middle East. Unfortunately most of Lamestream Twistianity sends money to the Jewish state supporting the Devil’s future rule from Old Jerusalem.
A few supporting scriptures regarding the “King of the North:”
Isaiah 14:13-14 – “far reaches of the north”
Jeremiah 1:13-15 – “Out of the north disaster shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land” & “calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north”
Jeremiah 3:18 – “come from the land of the north”
Jeremiah 4:6 – “I bring disaster from the north”
Jeremiah 6:1 – “disaster looms out of the north,
and great destruction.”
Jeremiah 6:22 – “Behold, a people is coming from the northcountry,
a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.”
Jeremiah 10:22 – “great commotion out of the north country
to make the cities of Judah a desolation”
The Book of Revelation offers 2 possibilities for the location of Satan’s Throne, the Beast or False Prophet of Revelation 13. According to Revelation 13:4 the Beast is militarily dominate on planet earth. The False Prophet also bears a military super weapon at Revelation 13:13, “making fire come down from heaven.” (Whoever the first beast of Revelation 13 turns out to be, it will suffer a “mortal wound” “by the sword” and be “healed” according to Revelation 13:3, 14.)
For a scriptural answer to determine which is really in control, compare the first Beast of Revelation 13:2 with the second beast at Revelation 13:11-12 (referred to as False Prophet at Revelation 16:13, 19:20, 20:10). The conclusion is, the False Prophet is superior to the Beast because Revelation 13:11-12 says it “exercises all the authority over the first beast.”
In the 5th Bowl of Wrath, the vial is poured out “on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.”
In ALL 7 Letters, Jesus expresses complete Awareness of the 7 Churches condition, good and lacking when He says to each, “I Know…”
➥ Ephesus – Rev 2:2
➥ Smyrna – Rev 2:9
➥ Pergamum – 2:13
➥ Thyatira – Rev 2:19
➥ Sardis – Rev 3:1
➥ Philadelphia – Rev 3:8
➥ Laodicea – Rev 3:22
Revelation 2:23 – I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
This gives deeper understand the meaning of the words, Jesus “walks in the midst of the 7 golden lampstands” Rev 1:12-13, Rev 2:1.
Yet you hold fast my name,
and you did not deny my faith
even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Jesus commends 3 Churches for holding fast His Name!
➥ Ephesus – Rev 2:3, “bearing up for my name’s sake & you have not grown weary.”
➥ Pergamum – 2:13, Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.”
➥ Philadelphia – Rev 3:8, “I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Those who deny Christ are denied – Matthew 10:22, 32-33.
All nations will hate you on account of His Name – Matthew 24:9.
Peter Denies Christ Luke 22:54-62.
During the Beast, Image and Mark, most fake christians deny and exchange Christ’s Name for the Name & Mark of the Beast! Revelation 13:16-18
14 But I have a few things against you:
you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam,
who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel,
so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.
“Teaching of Balaam”
The Full story of Balak & Balaam is found at Numbers 22-25
Summary & Bottom Line – If Evil wants to attack & corrupt God’s people, demonic divination won’t work because you can’t curse what God has blessed. Therefore to successfully attack and seduce God’s people one should use Sexual Immorality and Pagan Celebrations as Balaam taught Balak.
Balak wanted to destroy the Israelites for fear of them so he hired Balaam to demonically conjure a curse against the Israelites (Numbers 22:1-6).
First attempt to curse Israel – Numbers 23:7-13
Second attempt to curse Israel – Numbers 23:16-27
Third attempt to curse Israel – Numbers 24:3-10, 15-25
Numbers 25:11-13, 24,000 Fall from plague as a result of Sexual Immorality whoring with the daughters of Moab.
