The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' how and by whom ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).
Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9)..
The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).
It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21). It should be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
Or ask a geologist.
ALL colors are in dust. If you don't see it for yourself; then we'll always feel angry.
I asked God why He created all this strife about color. He said we did that. He likes colors. He told Adam the rules about dominion.
(at the encouragement of a very bad devil) MAN decided to have DOMINION over other people who were different colors and STATUS. Go read about Nimrod in Genesis.
In His Mercy, God created languages. People moved away and built cities so they'd only have to listen to their own language. I think that's wonderful. Look at all the culture, cuisines, art, architecture, and customs we have as a result.
Because of the sin nature and a Devil who can only create CHAOS (one of his names), people still fight to be supreme.
My parents couldn't afford college for 5 kids, so I kicked my own rear to the library and textbooks resales; and made myself learn what they teach in the college. It's called ambition. Anyone can do that! I NEVER read romance novels, sci-fi or fiction. I love learning new stuff. That's how I know about the color of DUST.
What is motivation? What drives you? Who is driving? The God who created all we see and know? Or the Devil who only creates resentment, jealousy, anger, violence, etc.
I thank God the Father that He is Spirit! The Holy Spirit is Spirit. The Bible has said that from the Beginning. So no one has to run out and start a new religion with a god of Color. SATAN used to be beautiful, but He isn't now! The Bible says when we see him we're all going to say: "I was scared of THAT ?!?"
I'm going to be Caught UP to Jesus and live in a place where I'll never have to hear people speak racism, or hate others for the brand of their running shoes; BA's, MA's, PHD's. Joy Unspeakable!
Mishael
1st that was a beautiful explanation of God's sealing and promise.
2nd How do you explain the numerous scriptures that warn against false prophets and the very elect being deceived?
3rd How do you explain "free will" and the scriptures explaining "Lord, I have done your will", and His response of "I know you not"?
4th How do you explain Misheal's pastor?
5th Personally, I have witnessed many "saved" people renounce God, stop attending church, become followers of sciencetology, atheists, addicts, pursuing the world or the traditions of men. Also, I have seen many start to follow false religions and refute what they previously believed.
I am not attempting to be argumentive or disrespectful. I ask purely for edification.
God Bless you both and may your journey with the Holy Spirit be fruitful and rewarding.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
What can I do for my 3 children that where born out of wedlock?
Marcus
Please capitalize God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit with capital letters, for the reason that is a name above all others.
Be mightily blessed. The Lord hears your heart. Amen
Many comments are very good and reading the different perceptions/interpretations of God's word helps me to understand. Also, I find many times I never considered the scripture from that angle.
It is very difficult to look at or consider perceptions when you have never experienced it. (ie. I was born American in a free country with lots of freedom to express ideas or concepts). For me, it is difficult to understand living under a king or dictator. Also suffering and tribulations that exist around the world and in the past. I hope that statement does not offend anyone.
This site is very good and useful. Having that said, I wish they would allow you to view a particular topic/thread better. Most of the time comments are locked.
I study the Bible and the comments for edification and to progress from being a babe unto meat as the apostle Paul instructs us to.
Which is where Paul passed on that message to the Gentiles. (We being grafted in). It's not pagan if Jesus instituted it.
Luke 22
15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: THIS DO in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Wouldn't every breathing thing, created by God, therefore contain spirit?
Did God not create all of the animals?

A man can study the Bible his entire life and will claim he knows everything about it. The reason a man studies the Bible his entire life is to TRY to better understand it. NO MAN KNOWS THE FULL WORKS AND WONDERS OF GOD OR HIS CREATION.
Saying "no it is a metaphor" is an opinion from personal understanding.
Use scripture. Not someone else's opinion.
