OBJECTIVES To identify who our enemy is and why it is important to know who are enemy is Continue our discussion on Jay-Z & Freemasonry To discuss the dark & sinister plans of the enemy To discuss how the plan of the enemy has now included children 3

BAPHOMET 1st associated with the occult in 1854 Created by Eliphus Levi as the “Sabbatic Goat” winged humaniod goat with a pair of breasts and a torch on it’s head between its horns Associated with Freemasons a symbol of wisdom and higher intelligence Resembles early depictions of the “Devil” Also used as a symbol for Aleister Crowley’s mystical system called “Thelema*” 4

Who is Our Enemy??? Ephesians 6:12 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 5

Who is Our Enemy??? Lucifer (Isaiah 14:2), Satan (I Chron 21:1), Beelzebub (Matt 10:25) Lucifer means “Son of the Morning” (A heavenly name given to him by God, as he was the “Chief Musician” in heaven.) Only 1 recorded instance of this name in the Bible, where there are numerous mentions of the other names he is most known by; Devil=125, Satan=50 Satan means “ The Accuser” & another name for the Devil, Rev 20:2 The Word of God fashions and shapes our perceptions and our approach to our adversary (St. John 10:10) The repetition of Lucifer’s other names; is the Bible’s way of identifying who are adversary is 6

KNOWING YOUR ENEMY Why is this important? For Knowledge Sake… Hosea 4:6 “My people destroyed for the lack of knowledge.” II Corinthians 11:14 “Lest Satan should get an advantage over us, for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 7

KNOWING YOUR ENEMY Why is this important? So you can be properly equipped to fight against your enemy Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. So you will appreciate the “Power” that it takes in order to defeat your enemy Luke 10:19*, Acts 19:13-17*, II Corinth 10:4* 8

KNOWING YOUR ENEMY Why is this important? So you will appreciate the “Power” that it takes in order to defeat your enemy Acts 1:8 “And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you.” It takes “Power” to fight in this spiritual battle and a simple “CONFESSION” or “DECLARATION” of Salvation does not adequately equip one to fight. (Romans 10:9) 9

THE DEVIL IS… A LIAR, *St. John 8:44, A DECIEVER, Matt 24:4, 5, 24, Rev 12:9, *Rev 20:1-3 A MANIPULATOR, Luke 4:1-13 A ANARCHIST, *Prov. 6:16-19, *I Corinth 14:33 A IMITATOR, *II Corinth 11:14 10

“He Doesn’t Exist” The Devil has “Romanticized” himself in the world to those who follow him. That’s why in many circles his still referred to as “Lucifer- The Son of the Morning” “Fallen Angel” And, to them “he doesn’t exist” in the way that he is viewed according to scripture It’s an EXPECTATION for the world to have this view the Devil But, it’s DANGEROUS when the church adopts the same view of our enemy 11

ALEISTER CROWLEY “…The Devil is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes…This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but HE who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade ‘Know Thyself!’ and taught Initiation. He is ‘The Devil’ of The Book of Thoth, and his emblem is BAPHOMET, the Androgyne who is hieroglyph of arcane perfection…He is therefore Life, and Love. But moreover his letter is ayin, the Eye, so that his Light; and Zodiacal image is Capricornus, that leaping goat whose attribute is Liberty.” 12
