To get a better understanding on this verse we may have to take it from verse 18.
I will try to point out some important points in parentheses.
2 Peter 2:18-22. ( For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.)
While they promise them liberty, ( they themselves are the servants of corruption:) for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
( For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome,) the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
I believe what we have here as shown in the parentheses we have those who have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in verse 20. However the previous verses 18 and 19, they don't seem to have ever accepted Christ.
That's why they're identified as a Dog and a Sow instead of a Son. In Luke 15:11-32. You have a Son returning home, All 3 found their way home.
In away 2 Peter 2:18-22. reminds me of Mathew 12:43-45. 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 FINDS IT EMPTY, SWEPT, AND GARNISHED. (NO INDWELLING OF THE HG.)
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.
God bless.
I enjoy your posts very much, but I feel the need to make a few comments about things about your statement:" America is a Christian nation, built on these fundamentals of faith in the resurrection, everlasting life, and judgment of God."
We need to realize the following.
-From the beginning - We invaded this country America, killed and humiliated the local Indian inhabitants, and we stole their land, and treasure. This is really not OUR country!
-We brought slaves into the country, to be used, and then when they were finally freed, we discriminated against them, in all walks of life, for many, many years, and some forms of discrimination continue on to this day.
-We killed many of our own during the Civil War, invaded many other countries, including Vietnam, Korea, etc. killed many inhabitants, and many of our young people. Some war could be justified but most of it not.
-Dropped two (2) atom bombs in Japan, and devastated the inhabitants. This did not need to happen.
- We continue to invade other countries to this day.
-We legalized abortion, and continue killing babies non-stop.
-We legalized gay marriage.
I could go on..
We should all get down on our knees and beg God for forgiveness. I will agree, there are some good christians in this country, but there has never been enough! We all need to stop lying to ourselves, we have NEVER been a good Christian nation!
God bless.
2 Timothy 3:16-17. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
I believe we can trust Godly wisdom and being led by the spirit above psychology or philosophy or any other worldly wisdom. I believe as we grow in the spirit we become wiser in the Lord and he guides our foot steps in our spiritual walk and change our desires in the secular as well.
If psychology or philosophy have something positive for us I believe God will reveal that to us by his spirit that dwells in us. We do know God gives us a spirit of discernment.
1 Corinthians 12:10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another "discerning of spirits;" to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
And we know that "ALL THINGS" work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God bless.
A friend in my guest room felt something huge sit on the edge of his bed. He sat up but didn't see anything.
Once I learned that we can Ask God for angelic protection, I stopped being fearful. Jesus provides everything we need at any moment.
We are kings and priests; even women. All believers can walk in unmolested freedom. I spread out nets of protection over people beat down from spiritual warfare. Why? Because I knew God loves them and wants them saved and living in victory over all enemies.
Just have to obey Ephesians 6. "They are invisible". They hate the God that lives within us.
When I was going through this, the Holy Spirit got me out of bed (pneumonia) and took me to a Christian bookstore. I kinda argued because I had to buy milk for my kid and a teenager kicked out of her house. He took me to a sale table and I bought a book called 'Angels' by Charles Capps. I read it that same day. I knew I was being tormented. I prayed for angels to hang out at my house and assist me till I was well. I have never been troubled since that time. I could fill a book.
Those doing street ministry need to ask God to send angels to assist and protect. They like Gospel music, so fill your house with praise. If the teenagers are runnin with the crowd, PRAY for them. Get the demons gone and pray for God to hang with those kids. You will see little miracles every day. Always give thanks to God for His Mercy and Grace. Always.
I was doing "War Room" in my closet floor before it was a movie. All kinds of churches need to revive intercessory prayer. "Thy will be done"
If you have to get loud, go sit in the car.
Check your house top to bottom for cursed objects. Demons accuse us for that. But don't be hyper. Discern the spirits. 1 Cor. 12
My meditation would lean towards that these Cherubims are the beasts and are at the four corners of the earth as borders to keep men ,because God so loved the world, on the straight and narrow way towards Salvation by the One on the Throne of God, Jesus Christ.

This website reaches to other nations. God is LOVE. Preach it brother.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Christ is the MAN ( Ephesians 5:23), we (the church) are the WOMAN ( Galatians 3:28).
Christ is the TEMPLE (church)( Revelation 21:22).
Christ (the Spirit of LIFE and TRUTH) lives IN US ( Colossians 1:27); therefore we become the TEMPLE ( 1 Corinthians 3:16), ALSO.
We (the woman) are not to teach in the church (ourselves); but, the MAN (Holy Spirit) is to be our teacher.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing (Holy Spirit) which you have received of him (Christ) abideth in you, and you need not that any man (only Christ, the Holy Spirit)) teach you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as he hath taught you, abide in him (the WORD(S) of GOD).
And that God would help him to escape addiction to drugs.
Salvation.
Thank you for your prayers

Thank you, I agree without the word of God being our weapons, we can not stand up to the evil on this earth. Many to most people never encounter these evil beings, I did for over two years. When it started, I had read parts of the Bible but I was in no way prepared for things at that time I did not even believe were real.
I know demons do not have a body and are on this earth until judgment and my wife and I dealt with them. Many things happened during that time. I will tell you of the one instance of this being that visited me in my bed while I was asleep. I was awakened when it laid on top of me, it was a light night and light was coming in through the window.
He put a cloth over my face that looked like burlap because I could see through it. His hand covered my entire head and he was smothering me. His body was massive just his upper body was over me and the bed and it did not feel human.
I kept wrestling and turned my head enough to free my mouth and said one word, Jesus, and it was like this being was snatched straight up and was gone. It may not have been a physical body but it was solid because my hands were clutching its hand and arm trying to get free. I had to change my clothing because I was drenched with sweat and I did not go back to sleep. God can get our attention in many different ways.
Thank you for being on this site and for the guidance and encouragement you bring.
God bless,

Anti-christ will appear in Jerusalem, performing miracles, FOOLING millions of who have not read the Lord's Holy Word.
I pray for them to embrace the TRUTH. Amen.
