The Beginning of the Seed War

Genesis 3:15 I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and

her offspring; he shall bruise

your head, and you shall bruise

his heel.”

The End of the Seed War

Revelation 12:9–10 (ESV) — 9

And the great dragon was thrown

down, that ancient serpent, who is

called the devil and Satan, the

deceiver of the whole world—he

was thrown down to the earth, and

his angels were thrown down with

him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in

heaven, saying, “Now the salvation

and the power and the kingdom of

our God and the authority of his

Christ have come, for the accuser

of our brothers has been thrown

down, who accuses them day and

night before our God.

Genesis 6:1-4

Genesis 6:1–4 (ESV) — 1 When man began to

multiply on the face of the land and daughters

were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that

the daughters of man were attractive. And they

took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the

Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man

forever, for he is ﬂesh: his days shall be 120

years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in

those days, and also afterward, when the sons

of God came in to the daughters of man and

they bore children to them. These were the

mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

Son’s of God

Job 1:6–8 (ESV) — 6 Now there was a day when the sons of

God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan

also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “From

where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said,

“From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and

down on it.” 8 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you

considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the

earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns

away from evil?”

Job 38:4–7 (ESV) — 4 “Where were you when I laid

the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have

understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements

—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?

6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its

cornerstone, 7 when the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Deuteronomy 4:19 (ESV) — 19 And beware lest you raise

your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon

and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and

bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your

God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

The Divine Council

Deuteronomy 29:25–27 (ESV) — 25 Then people will say, ‘It is

because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of

their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out

of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and

worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he

had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was

kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses written in

this book,

The Divine Council

Jeremiah 23:16–22 (ESV) — 16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do

not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, ﬁlling

you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not

from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who

despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to

everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No

disaster shall come upon you.’!” 18 For who among them has

stood in the council of the Lord to see and to hear his word,

or who has paid attention to his word and listened?

Prophets Stand in the Divine Council

PART 2

Genesis 6:1-4

Genesis 6:1–4 (ESV) — 1 When man began to

multiply on the face of the land and daughters

were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that

the daughters of man were attractive. And they

took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the

Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man

forever, for he is ﬂesh: his days shall be 120

years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in

those days, and also afterward, when the sons

of God came in to the daughters of man and

they bore children to them. These were the

mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

What is the diﬀerence

between a god and an idol?

A god is a created spiritual

being"

An idol is a physical image

that is meant to be a sort of

home for a god to live in.

Exodus 20:3–4 (ESV) — 3 “You

shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a

carved image, or any likeness of

anything that is in heaven above, or

that is in the earth beneath, or that

is in the water under the earth.

We must be careful not to unwittingly

remove the ﬁrst commandment by

combining the ﬁrst and second into one.

Roman Catholic

Idolatry and the gods

1 Corinthians 10:19–20 (ESV) —

19 What do I imply then? That food

oﬀered to idols is anything, or that

an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply

that what pagans sacriﬁce they

oﬀer to demons and not to God. I

do not want you to be participants

with demons."

Deuteronomy 18:9–14 (ESV) — 9 “When you come into

the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall

not learn to follow the abominable practices of those

nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone

who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone

who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets

omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a

necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for

whoever does these things is an abomination to the

Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your

God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be

blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these

nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to

fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord

your God has not allowed you to do this.

God forbids his people to seek other gods

Ezekiel 23:37–39 (ESV) — 37 For they have committed adultery,

and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed

adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the

children whom they had borne to me. 38 Moreover, this they have

done to me: they have deﬁled my sanctuary on the same day and

profaned my Sabbaths. 39 For when they had slaughtered their

children in sacriﬁce to their idols, on the same day they came into

my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, this is what they did in my

house.

God has made a covenant with his people. So when his

people worship other gods, through their idols, God often

describes this idolatry as adultery (not superstition). In

other words, they didn’t have an aﬀair with nobody.

2 Kings 3:26–27 (ESV) — 26 When the

king of Moab saw that the battle was

going against him, he took with him 700

swordsmen to break through, opposite

the king of Edom, but they could not. 27

Then he took his oldest son who was to

reign in his place and offered him for a

burnt offering on the wall. And there

came great wrath against Israel. And they

withdrew from him and returned to their

own land.

The gods of the nations are real

2 Kings 1:1–4 (ESV) — 1 After the death of Ahab,

Moab rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah fell

through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria,

and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them,

“Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron,

whether I shall recover from this sickness.” 3 But

the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite,

“Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of

Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is

no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of

Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4 Now therefore

thus says the Lord, You shall not come down from

the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall

surely die.’!” So Elijah went.

Ahaziah inquires of another god

Deuteronomy 32:7–9 (ESV) — 7

Remember the days of old; consider the

years of many generations; ask your

father, and he will show you, your elders,

and they will tell you. 8 When the Most

High gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he divided mankind, he ﬁxed the

borders of the peoples according to the

number of the sons of God. 9 But the

Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his

allotted heritage.

The Divine Council

Tower of Babel

Daniel 10:12–14 (ESV) — 12 Then he said to

me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the ﬁrst day

that you set your heart to understand and

humbled yourself before your God, your

words have been heard, and I have come

because of your words. 13 The prince of the

kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-

one days, but Michael, one of the chief

princes, came to help me, for I was left

there with the kings of Persia, 14 and came

to make you understand what is to happen to

your people in the latter days. For the vision

is for days yet to come…”

The gods of the nations

Daniel 10:20–21 (ESV) — 20 Then

he said, “Do you know why I have

come to you? But now I will return

to ﬁght against the prince of

Persia; and when I go out, behold,

the prince of Greece will come. 21

But I will tell you what is inscribed in

the book of truth: there is none who

contends by my side against these

except Michael, your prince.

Key people involved the account:

Jehoshaphat- king of Israel. "

Ahab- King of Judah"

Syria- Isreal’s enemy possesses Ramoth-gilead"

400 Prophets - Prophesying victory

Micaiah- The prophet Ahab hates

1 Kings 22 - Micaiah and

a Divine Council Scene

1 Kings 22: But the king said to him, “How

many times shall I make you swear that you

speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of

the Lord?” 17 And he said, “I saw all Israel

scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have

no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no

master; let each return to his home in peace.’!”

18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,

“Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy

good concerning me, but evil?”

1 Kings 22:19–23 (ESV) — 19 And Micaiah said,

“Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the

Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of

heaven standing beside him on his right hand

and on his left; 20 and the Lord said, ‘Who will

entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-

gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said

another. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood

before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ 22 And

the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said,

‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of

all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him,

and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’ 23 Now

therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in

the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has

declared disaster for you.”

Psalm 82:1–8 (ESV) — 1 God has taken his place in

the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds

judgment: 2 “How long will you judge unjustly and

show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3 Give justice to

the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the

afﬂicted and the destitute. 4 Rescue the weak and

the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,

they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of

the earth are shaken. 6 I said, “You are gods, sons

of the Most High, all of you; 7 nevertheless, like

men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” 8

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit

all the nations!

Judgment of the Divine Council

Isaiah 34:2–5 (ESV) — 2 For the Lord is

enraged against all the nations, and

furious against all their host; he has

devoted them to destruction, has given

them over for slaughter… 4 All the host of

heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll

up like a scroll. All their host shall fall,

as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves

falling from the ﬁg tree. 5 For my sword

has drunk its ﬁll in the heavens; behold,

it descends for judgment upon Edom, upon

the people I have devoted to destruction.

Judgment of the host of heaven

Numbers 33:4 (ESV) — 4 while the Egyptians were

burying all their ﬁrstborn, whom the Lord had struck down

among them. On their gods also the Lord executed

judgments.

Psalm 97:7 (ESV) — 7 All worshipers of images are put

to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols;

worship him, all you gods!

Jude 5–7 (ESV) — 5 Now I want to remind you, although

you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out

of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not

believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their

own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling,

he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness

until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as Sodom and

Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise

indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,

serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal

ﬁre.

2 Peter 2:4–10 (ESV) — 4 For if God did not spare angels

when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed

them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the

judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world, but

preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others,

when he brought a ﬂood upon the world of the ungodly; …9

then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to

keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of

judgment, 10 and especially those who indulge in the lust

of deﬁling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful,

they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones,

Luke 4:5–8 (ESV) — 5 And the devil took him up and

showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of

time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this

authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me,

and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me,

it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written,

“!‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall

you serve.’!”

Did the Devil have the kingdoms to give?

Ephesians 2:1–3 (ESV) — 1 And you were dead in the

trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the

course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3

among whom we all once lived in the passions of our ﬂesh,

carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by

nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

2 Corinthians 4:3–4 (ESV) — 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it

is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of

this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them

from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the

image of God.

John 12:27–33 (ESV) — 27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what

shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I

have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a

voice came from heaven: “I have gloriﬁed it, and I will glorify it

again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had

thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus

answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 Now

is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world

be cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw

all people to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of

death he was going to die.

Colossians 2:13–15 (ESV) — 13 And you, who were

dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your

ﬂesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven

us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of

debt that stood against us with its legal demands.

This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He

disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to

open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Psalm 2:1–12 (ESV) — 1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in

vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel

together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us burst their

bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens

laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then he will speak to them in his

wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6 “As for me, I have set my King on

Zion, my holy hill.” 7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my

Son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations

your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You shall

break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s

vessel.” 10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the

earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son,

lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Matthew 17:1–5 (ESV) — 1 And after six days Jesus took with him

Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high

mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transﬁgured before them, and

his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3 And

behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4

And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I

will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for

Elijah.” 5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud

overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my

beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”

This is my beloved Son

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All

authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I

have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to

the end of the age.”

The Great Commission

Matthew 12:27 And if I cast out demons

by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons

cast them out? Therefore they will be

your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of

God that I cast out demons, then the

kingdom of God has come upon you. 29

Or how can someone enter a strong

man’s house and plunder his goods,

unless he ﬁrst binds the strong man?

Then indeed he may plunder his

house.

Acts 1: 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has

come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem

and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9

And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he

was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

Luke 24:46–49 (ESV) — 46 and said to them, “Thus it is

written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise

from the dead, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of

sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations,

beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these

things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father

upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with

power from on high.”

Acts 2:1–13 (ESV) — 1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all

together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound

like a mighty rushing wind, and it ﬁlled the entire house where they were

sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of ﬁre appeared to them and rested on

each one of them. 4 And they were all ﬁlled with the Holy Spirit and began

to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 Now there

were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation

under heaven. 6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and

they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in

his own language. 7 And they were amazed and astonished, saying,

“Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that

we hear, each of us in his own native language?

1 John 4:3–4 (ESV) — 3 and every spirit that does

not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of

the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is

in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from

God and have overcome them, for he who is in you

is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 4:18 (ESV) — 18 There is no fear in love, but

perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with

punishment, and whoever fears has not been

perfected in love.

1 John 5:19–21 (ESV) — 19 We know that we are

from God, and the whole world lies in the power of

the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God

has come and has given us understanding, so that

we may know him who is true; and we are in him

who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true

God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep

yourselves from idols.

1 Corinthians 6:2–3 (ESV) — 2 Or do you

not know that the saints will judge the world?

And if the world is to be judged by you, are

you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do

you not know that we are to judge angels?

How much more, then, matters pertaining to

this life!

Daniel 7:22 (ESV) — 22 until the Ancient of Days came,

and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High,

and the time came when the saints possessed the

kingdom.

Ephesians 1:18–21 (ESV) — 18 having the eyes of

your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the

hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of

his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the

immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who

believe, according to the working of his great might 20

that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the

dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly

places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power

and dominion, and above every name that is named,

not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Ephesians 2:5–7 (ESV) — 5 even when we were

dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with

Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and

raised us up with him and seated us with him in

the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in

the coming ages he might show the immeasurable

riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ

Jesus.

Revelation 20:4 (ESV) — 4 Then I saw thrones, and

seated on them were those to whom the authority to

judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who

had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for

the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the

beast or its image and had not received its mark on their

foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned

with Christ for a thousand years.

Colossians 3:1–3 (ESV) — 1 If then you have been

raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where

Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your

minds on things that are above, not on things that are on

earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with

Christ in God.
