Satan's Overall Plan

There will be several posts regarding Satan's Plan as we explore how he has attempted to alter God's Plan along the way and continues to do so and will up and until the very end.  This will be just a brief overview before we start breaking it down piece by piece.

Ezekiel 28:14-15 Thou art the anointed cherub that coverth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Satan was God's perfect cherub in the 1st earth age.  He was the cherub that covereth the very Mercy Seat of God. 

Ezekiel 28:2; 17 ...'Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a GOD, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas;' yet thou art a man, and not GOD, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:...

Satan got the big ego and started thinking he was a god and from there started the deception for those that would believe and follow him.  Remember that God created all souls in that 1st earth age.  Satan deceived a 1/3 of God's children in that 1st earth age and many more could have been swayed.  Don't mistake Satan as this overtly evil, mean character as he is so often portrayed.  Satan is a beautiful and supernatural cherub and deceives through cunning and usually flattering means.  God had to shorten the end days for His very elect's sake because Satan is that good at deceit (all to be covered when we get to the Trumps).

Ezekiel 28:18-19 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.  All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Satan's big end runs have been to initially impact the seedline for which Christ would come and then to impact the Truth of God's Word through mistranslations of the Manuscripts, traditions of man instead of God in worship and High Holy Days, through the churches and their teachings, and through who the Jews are (the tribe of Judah was but one tribe of Israel yet through Satan's deception that is all anyone focuses on and even at that get who the tribe of Judah and those residing of Judea mixed and incorrectly portrayed). 

Satan goes by many names, cherub, serpent, king of Tyre, king of Tyrus, that Assyrian, box cedar, death, glistening one, dragon, antichrist, etc.  Satan's big modus operandi from the Garden of Eden, to tempting Christ in the wilderness, to current times in the churches, to Christ's return, to the millennial period is to just slightly twist God's Words around such that it sounds right or looks right or "feels" right and trips folks up. 

Satan deceived those in the 1st earth age and Eve in the Garden.  He tortured Job and tempted Christ.  He derailed so many throughout history and continues to do so now.  Be wiser than the serpent and dig into God's Word to know the Truth for yourself, so when a mere turn of phrase is misconstrued you know the difference!
