The document analyzes passages from the Book of Job and Book of Enoch that reference Behemoth. It examines characteristics of Behemoth such as its size, strength, power, and solid foundations, which allow it to flexibly withstand attacks and challenges to its rule while continuing to reproduce fear and control over mankind. The overall message is that Behemoth represents demonic systems of vast influence that must be dismantled through spiritual warfare in order to liberate people.

The church in Pergamum was commended for holding fast to Christ's name even when one of their members, Antipas, was martyred for his faith. However, some in the church had embraced the teachings of Balaam, who led Israel into idolatry and sexual immorality, and the teachings of the Nicolaitans, who encouraged the same. The church was warned to repent or face judgment from Christ with his sharp, two-edged sword.
The document discusses how carrying an "orphan spirit" can prevent us from seeing our future and destiny according to God's vision. It says an orphan spirit gives a sense of abandonment, lack of hope, and living only to meet needs in the present. But through the Holy Spirit living in us, we are not orphans, and can see with "eyes of our heart" what God has freely given. Breaking from an orphan mindset allows us to imagine the Father's vision as His children rather than feeling like beggars.
This document provides an overview of prophets in biblical history and the establishment of schools of prophets. It discusses how God raised up prophets like Abraham and Moses to lead the nation of Israel. It describes how Samuel established schools of prophets during the monarchial period in Israel to provide divine guidance after they asked for a king. The purpose of the schools was to train young men as prophets and teachers to instruct people in God's ways and counter corruption. The document analyzes early prophetic cases and the evolution of the prophet's role over time.
Jeremiah and Lamentations were written by the prophet Jeremiah during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BC as Babylon gained power in the region and ultimately destroyed Jerusalem and exiled its people. Jeremiah prophesied judgment on Judah for their sins but also promised future restoration. Lamentations expresses grief over the fall of Jerusalem from the destruction prophesied by Jeremiah. Both books share the themes of God's judgment on sin but also his faithfulness and hope for the future.
Not unlike the effects of today’s Coronavirus, the older generation of Israel in the wilderness were dying. Numbers 20 begins with the death of Miriam (1) and concludes with the death of Aaron (28, 29). If you were to die today, what legacy would you leave? When was the last time you murmured or complained about something associated with COVID-19? What was your complaint? How did your criticism or complaint change you, your relationship with God and those around you? Why did the Lord send “fiery serpents among the people” (21:6)? What was Moses’ response when he heard their complaints and saw God’s judgment? (7) How should we be like Moses? What was the Lord’s response? (8) Why did Jesus compare Himself to Moses’ brazen serpent? (John 3:14-16) Why do many (sadly most) people refuse to look and live? (8)
Este documento describe la guerra espiritual entre las fuerzas del bien y del mal. Explica que hay una batalla invisible que involucra a todos los creyentes de Dios contra Satanás y sus demonios.

This document discusses the spirit of Jezebel from the biblical story of Jezebel and how it continues to operate today. It describes Jezebel as a controlling, manipulative spirit that seeks power and influence through deception, sexual immorality, witchcraft and idolatry. The spirit of Jezebel operates in individuals to gain control and destroy leadership, and it also influences cultures through outlets like feminism, entertainment and fashion to promote rebellion, lust and apostasy. The document warns that fully confronting and destroying the strongholds of the Jezebel spirit requires having the kingly anointing of Christ.
This document discusses a website called ProverbsForWisdom.com that is dedicated to sharing wisdom from the Book of Proverbs. It provides summaries of key passages from Proverbs and testimonials about how studying Proverbs can benefit one's life. The website also lists additional resources for learning from Proverbs, including YouTube videos, daily email subscriptions, and bible study guides. The overall goal of the website is to introduce people, including the creator's grandchildren, to the practical wisdom contained in the Book of Proverbs.
The document discusses several signs that are indicators of the end times, according to Adventist eschatology. These include increasing natural disasters, wars and violence, religious fanaticism, social unrest, and geoengineering programs that are damaging the environment. It also references a people who are studying prophecy and seeking to purify themselves in preparation for Christ's return.
Prophecy involves perceiving and communicating God's thoughts to mankind through various spiritual gifts and experiences. It can involve visions, dreams, direct revelation, or burden-bearing intercession. Prophets fulfill roles as seers, who discern spiritual realities, or as heralds who preach inspired messages. True prophetic ministry requires developing godly character, operating under leadership accountability, and prioritizing love over personal motives. Prophecy manifests through the Spirit of Prophecy, the gift of prophecy, or the office of a prophet.
The document discusses the mark of the beast as described in Revelation. It identifies the beast as the papacy based on several clues from Revelation and Daniel. The papacy received its seat and authority from pagan Rome. It claims to forgive sins and demands worship, fitting the characteristics of blasphemy. The mark of the beast will be enforced by the papacy near the end of time and involves rejecting God's commandments. The number of the beast, 666, is identified with titles for the pope. In contrast, God's people will keep His commandments and have the seal of God, identified as the seventh-day Sabbath.
Este documento habla sobre las 13 potestades apocalípticas, especialmente sobre "El Destructor". Menciona que según la Biblia, El Destructor será una fuerza maligna que operará durante el tiempo final, usando pecados como la fornicación para destruir el alma y el cuerpo de las personas. También analiza el nombre de Satanás en hebreo y griego y cómo su valor numérico se relaciona con estas 13 potestades.
The document discusses the second coming of Christ based on biblical teachings. It covers what the second coming is, the signs that will precede it, and how believers should respond. The key points are:
- The second coming will be personal and visible, in which Christ returns to establish his kingdom and judge unbelievers.
- Signs preceding it will include religious delusion, wars, natural disasters, and the re-establishment of Israel as a nation.
- Believers should watch and pray, evangelize others, and live holy lives as they wait patiently for Christ's return. The rapture will come secretly to take believers before the tribulation.
This document provides information about a learning to prophesy seminar happening that evening from 7-9pm. It begins by defining prophecy as speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It then discusses what prophecy means according to the Bible and dictionaries, including that it involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people as well as restoring God's image in them. The document emphasizes that prophecy comes from having God at the center of one's heart and being filled with His love, so that His love can then be poured out to others. It concludes by having attendees declare prophecies over each other based on Bible verses provided and encourages reading Isaiah 49:1-3 in preparation for sharing next week.
This document provides an introduction to basic eschatology or the study of last things. It outlines three major views of the millennium - premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism. It also discusses two key interpretation rules regarding how literally to interpret prophecy and whether the church replaces Israel. The document then gives more details on three key eschatological events - the millennium, the great tribulation, and the rapture. It provides the outlines of the premillennial and amillennial views before concluding that the premillennial pre-tribulation view follows the principles of literal interpretation and distinction between Israel and the church.
El documento resume las enseñanzas de Pablo en Gálatas sobre la adopción de los creyentes como hijos e hijas de Dios. Antes de Cristo, Israel era como un niño bajo tutela, viviendo como esclavo bajo las leyes ceremoniales. Pero cuando Cristo vino, redimió a los creyentes de la ley y ellos fueron adoptados como hijos adultos con todos los privilegios y derechos de herencia. Sin embargo, los galatas estaban retrocediendo y prefiriendo volver a vivir bajo las reglas en vez de gozar de
O documento descreve a vida e ministério do profeta Ezequiel, que viveu durante o cativeiro babilônico. Ezequiel recebeu visões de Deus e mensagens para entregar ao povo sobre seu pecado e a queda de Jerusalém. Ele profetizou tanto juízos como consolações entre 592-570 a.C. entre os exilados na Babilônia.
Este documento fornece informações sobre o profeta bíblico Jeremias, incluindo:
1) Jeremias viveu entre 650-580 a.C. e denunciou a idolatria e injustiças sociais em Judá.
2) Ele profetizou a destruição de Jerusalém pelo exército babilônico como castigo por seu povo ter quebrado a aliança com Deus.
3) Apesar das perseguições, Jeremias permaneceu fiel em anunciar a mensagem de Deus, mesmo durante o ex
Este documento resume o capítulo 7 do livro de Daniel. A visão descreve quatro animais representando quatro grandes impérios (Babilônia, Medo-Pérsia, Grécia e Roma) e um quinto poder surgindo entre as nações européias pós-Roma. Historicamente, este quinto poder é identificado como o papado, que exerceu domínio religioso e político na Europa por séculos.
Sanctuary Presentation 4. The Sanctuary Finally CleansedSami Wilberforce
1) The document discusses the theme of Revival Week at Maseno University, focusing on the sanctuary.
2) It explains that Satan has used religious institutions like the Jewish and Catholic churches to block the light of Jesus in the sanctuary, and now wants to block Him in the Most Holy Place.
3) The cleansing of the sanctuary can only occur after God's people are cleansed of sin, as their defilement also defiles the sanctuary. This cleansing will happen at Jesus' second coming.
The document provides commentary on Isaiah 3 from multiple scholars. It discusses how God will judge Jerusalem and Judah by removing their sources of support. This includes taking away their food and water supplies, military leaders, government officials, skilled workers, and replacing their rulers with child-like leaders. The removal of these supports will lead to the downfall of the nation as predicted in Isaiah 3.

The removal of these supports will lead to the downfall of the nation as predicted in Isaiah 3.
The document outlines 8 principles for understanding the structure and themes of the Bible. It discusses how the Bible can be divided into 5 Christ-centered sections from the Old Testament to Revelation. The overarching theme is said to be "the glory of God." Various Old Testament books and storylines are also summarized, from Genesis through the return from exile in Ezra and Nehemiah.
1. The document provides a summary of the key people and events in the book of Genesis, including the creation of the world, Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood, the Tower of Babel, and the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
2. It discusses 10 major divisions of Genesis covering Creation to the death of Joseph over approximately 2,315 years.
3. The summary highlights the main people and events in each division, such as God's promise to Abraham to make him a great nation and bless all people through him.
The document provides commentary on Ezekiel 37 from multiple scholars. It describes Ezekiel's vision of being transported by the Spirit of God to a valley full of dry bones. God asks Ezekiel if the bones can live, to which Ezekiel replies only God knows. God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones. As Ezekiel prophesies, the bones come together and are clothed with flesh, but have no breath. God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath, and as he does, breath enters the bodies and they come to life as a vast army. God explains the dry bones represent Israel, scattered and hopeless, but that He will resurrect them and bring them back to their land so they will know He is God.

wich is based on the slides, to have an idea of our classes. By the end of the audio there is a short session on prophetic activation with participation of all my students.
The document discusses the spirit of Belial, described as the second in command in the kingdom of darkness. It originates from fallen angels who cohabited with humans and produced giants. Belial influences people to commit vile sins that arouse moral indignation and brings God's judgment. It operates through seduction, idolatry, sexual immorality and perversion. The spirit works to sear people's consciences and causes acts like rape without remorse. Belial will ultimately be defeated by Jesus Christ.
Why the hell do bad things happen? Suffering, Satan and the Problem of EvilJonathan Swales
This document discusses two worldviews - the blueprint worldview and the warfare worldview - regarding the problem of evil and suffering. The blueprint worldview holds that God ordains all events and has a specific divine reason for everything that occurs. However, this raises issues in attributing evil acts like rape, torture, and genocide directly to God. The warfare worldview frames evil and suffering as resulting from humanity's free will, spiritual forces of evil, and natural phenomena rather than directly being ordained by God. It also depicts Jesus and the early Christians engaging in spiritual warfare against demons and evil spirits. The tutor will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each worldview and how the warfare worldview could impact one's life and ministry.
Lent Talks 2018 Why the hell do bad things happen? Part OneJonathan Swales
The document discusses different perspectives on why bad things happen and God's role in allowing suffering and evil in the world. It presents the view of "Blueprint Theology" which argues that God has a specific reason for every event and allows nothing without purpose. However, it also outlines several problems with this view, such as questioning God's goodness and inconsistencies with passages where God's will is frustrated. It alternatively proposes a "Warfare Worldview" where suffering results from human and spiritual rebellion against God and His ongoing conflict with evil forces.
This document discusses the story of Elijah and the drought in Israel. It notes that Elijah prayed earnestly for God to withhold rain, and there was no rain for 3.5 years. Elijah then prayed again for rain to be restored, and after praying 7 times a cloud appeared and rain fell, ending the drought. The document suggests that earnest, fervent prayer is effective and that God hears and answers prayer. It encourages believers to pray for rain and blessings from God.
The document discusses the origins of Babel and Nimrod as related to the Tower of Babel story in Genesis. It traces the lineage from Adam to Noah and Noah's sons. It discusses how Nimrod established the foundations for a one world religion and universal rebellion at Babel after the confusion of languages. It suggests these concepts are being continued today through movements like ecumenism and a coming one world system centered around Babylon as described in Revelation.
What separates Man from Angels is a fine line. Yet, that line, the peerage God inextricably bound into Man’s Soul, raised him above all in Creation, including the Heavenly Angels. To understand why God imbued our Souls with this ponderous legacy, why we must be vigilant to keep this incredible gift, why it incited a baleful Angelic Rebellion in Heaven, and why the Fallen Angels have ever after conspired the utter annihilation of Man, is the purpose behind this essay.
David Icke Cain Eve And The Serpent Dragon.TxtKukuasu
The document discusses theories about Cain, Eve, and the serpent from the Bible. It claims that Cain was born from Eve and the serpent/dragon, implanting evil into the world. It says Cain's lineage led to murder, lies, and eventually human sacrifice. The document explores ideas about the fallen angels and their influence on early civilizations, including bringing knowledge and giants to earth. It examines biblical references to Cain and speculates on connections to ancient cultures in Mexico and the Middle East.

Elijah had just experienced a great victory over the prophets of Baal when Queen Jezebel threatened his life. Overcome with fear and despair, Elijah fled into the wilderness. While resting under a broom tree, he prayed for death, feeling alone and that his efforts had been in vain. God provided for Elijah's physical needs and directed him to Mount Horeb. There, God revealed himself to Elijah through a gentle whisper, reminding him that he was not alone. God then commissioned Elijah to anoint new leaders to continue purging the land of Baal worship.
The document describes a spiritual battle between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal and Asherah who were led by King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to determine who is the true God. Elijah proposes that they each sacrifice a bull and call on their God to light the fire. Elijah mocks the prophets of Baal as they dance and cut themselves, calling on Baal for hours with no response, demonstrating Baal's impotence.
The document discusses several miracles performed by Elijah the prophet to demonstrate God's provision and protection. It describes how Elijah was fed during a famine by ravens, a widow, and an angel. It also tells the story of Elijah raising the widow's son from the dead. Finally, it provides symbolic interpretations of these miracles as revelations about God restoring the church and resurrecting the kingdom realm.
This document provides an introduction to the prophet Elijah and the conditions during his ministry. It discusses how Elijah suddenly appeared during a time of moral decline and Baal worship under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. Elijah boldly proclaimed there would be a drought. The document then examines Elijah's character and ministry, including how he was fed by ravens during his time hiding in a ravine, showing God's provision even in difficult circumstances. It emphasizes that spiritual growth involves change and not getting comfortable.
The document discusses the baptism of fire, beginning with examples from scripture where fire fell from God in approval. It states that Jesus baptizes believers with the Holy Spirit and with fire, with fire serving to refine and purify the believer. It encourages praying for and receiving the baptism of fire, which will unveil God's glory within believers and consume all that is not of God. The conclusion exhorts believers to put themselves in God's fire so his flames will consume them and ignite revival, keeping the fire of God burning.
This document discusses the importance of living consciously aware of God's presence. It emphasizes trusting in God, acknowledging Him, and depending on Him. Practicing praying in tongues is recommended as it allows one to pray directly to God and builds up both individuals and the church. Specific bible passages are presented that relate to releasing God's presence through prayer and living centered on His presence. The conclusion stresses having personal encounters with God, even when no one is watching, as how one's relationship with Him is deepened.
This document discusses how every believer is commissioned and empowered by God to do his work. It uses Jesus' baptism as an example of a dramatic commissioning experience where the heavens opened and the Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove, empowering him for his ministry. Releasing God's presence can be done through various methods like words, acts of faith, prophecy, touch, worship, clothing or showing compassion, with the key being to stay focused on God's presence rather than the specific methods. The conclusion emphasizes releasing God's presence through being open to new, unusual methods as directed by him.
This document discusses the topic of revival. It defines revival as a restoration of life where God supernaturally transforms believers and non-believers through an intense experience of His presence. The document notes America has a history of major religious revivals. It outlines 10 characteristics of revivals, such as prayer, the Word of God, conviction, and glory to God. The conclusion states America appears ripe for a new national revival or awakening, though these are sovereign acts of God in response to prayer. The document encourages evaluating one's need for personal revival and stirring up the gift of God within.
The document discusses the concept of a prototype and how Jesus Christ is the ultimate prototype. It explains that Jesus was the perfect expression of God in human form and that he was the fulfillment of both Adam and the Tabernacle as he housed God's glory. The document then discusses the Tabernacle of David and how it served as a prototype for prayer and worship. It suggests the Tabernacle of David points to revival and the manifestation of God's kingdom on earth.
This document discusses the concept of an "open heaven" experience, where heaven is opened and God's presence and kingdom become visible. It provides several examples from the Bible where prophets like Jacob, Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, John and Paul experienced open heavens. The document argues that through Jesus, believers have inherited an open heaven and the ability to experience visions and revelations from God. It encourages praying for increased awareness of living under an open heaven and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal more of God's presence and kingdom to experience this season of exposure of the sons of God.
The document discusses how God provides "sneak previews" or glimpses of what is to come to build faith and trust. It examines examples from the Bible where people received visions or experiences that revealed more of God's power and plans. The conclusion states that the church is now receiving sneak previews of the glory of God and his kingdom, like Jacob did, to see greater works and heaven opened. These previews give insight into God's purposes and the supernatural aspects of his kingdom. The document encourages seeking God to receive more revelations.
This document discusses the spirit of prophecy in the Old Testament and how God used prophets like Samuel, Moses, and others to speak his word. It explores how the spirit of prophecy would come upon individuals and groups to empower them. Several biblical examples are provided of prophets receiving and operating in the spirit of prophecy. The document concludes that we are entering a new dimension where God will place his prophetic presence on an entire generation to prepare for his second coming, like the prophesied "Elijah generation." This generation will walk in holiness and intimacy with God.
This document discusses man's identity and purpose as created in God's image to be his representative on earth. It was man's first assignment to be a gardener in Eden and have dominion over the earth. However, man failed his test of subjection by disobeying God. This caused the fall of man and all creation. Now, through faith in Jesus Christ, believers can reclaim their true identity. The rest of the document lists many affirmations from the Bible about who Christians are in Christ, such as children of God, friends of Jesus, chosen and holy, and complete in him. Embracing these truths allows believers to be stable and assured in this world.
The document discusses hosting and dwelling in God's presence. It notes that the highest priority in life is to dwell in God's daily presence, as He created humanity to live with Him. However, sin expelled humanity from God's presence. Jesus is the only way back into God's presence. Like David, believers should seek God's presence above all else to behold His beauty and know Him. By living in God's presence, believers will receive His protection, power, and victory over enemies. The believer has been given the same authority as Jesus to work miracles. As stewards of God's mysteries and grace, believers are to handle God's presence with honor and protect it, as hosting God is filled with responsibility and mystery.
This document provides an introduction to the concept of God's kingdom being represented by gardens. It discusses how the Garden of Eden represented an outpost of God's dominion on earth. Man was created in God's image and placed in the Garden to work and keep it, representing God's kingdom. The mind is likened to a garden where seeds can be planted and grow. Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane and resurrection also connect to this analogy. Believers are called to cultivate their minds through God's word so that they can produce a full harvest for the kingdom, just as quality soil is needed to yield abundant crops.
The document provides an introduction to deliverance ministry, explaining that teaching on demons and deliverance provokes their manifestation. It emphasizes the importance of full surrender to God before engaging in spiritual warfare. It then discusses offensive and defensive spiritual warfare, describing tactics for both. These include asserting authority over demons, breaking agreements with evil spirits, commanding spirits to leave, and persisting until release. The document outlines potential exit routes for demons and signs that deliverance is complete. It stresses the importance of aftercare for the person and teaching them how to maintain their freedom.
This document discusses various symbols and their meanings in different cultural and religious contexts. It begins by explaining the importance of symbols in communicating ideas and mysteries. It then examines over 30 specific symbols, providing background information on their origins and associated meanings in areas like ancient religions, secret societies, and modern popular culture. The document concludes by emphasizing the ongoing significance of symbols in the occult world.
The document discusses familiar spirits, which are evil spirits that form close relationships and communication with humans. It describes how familiar spirits deceive people into thinking they are beneficial guides, when in reality they lead people astray. The document lists several ways that familiar spirits can be acquired, such as through divination, meditation, imaginary friends, drugs, and forms of divination like hydromancy and necromancy. It warns that familiar spirits seduce humans away from God and into the kingdom of darkness.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. Introduction
• The LORD is RAISING up an ARMY of
BELIEVERS who understands SPIRITUAL
WARFARE and will CHALLENGE the
DEMONIC STRATEGIES and DESTROY its
STRONGHOLDS. In the Kingdom of
Darkness, there are BEHEMOTHS which
ENSLAVE and CONTROL millions of
mankind. The word “BEHEMOTH” means
“SOMETHING of MONSTROUS SIZE,
POWER, or APPEARANCE”. The Hebrew
word “BEHEMOTH” (behemot) refers to a
“LARGE BEAST”, possibly a hippopotamus or
water-ox; both are known for their POWER
and STRENGTH.
3. Introduction
• Collectively, a BEHEMOTH is a MASSIVE
CREATURE known for its SIZE, POWER, and
STRENGTH. So, in spiritual warfare, a
BEHEMOTH is any SYSTEM that is LARGE
enough in SIZE, POWER, and STRENGTH to
OPPRESS and CONTROL others. It can be a
RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, CULTURAL, or
ECONOMIC system. They are
STRONGHOLDS that must be DESTROYED
in order for millions to be RELEASED from
DARKNESS and come into the glorious
LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of JESUS Christ.
4. Introduction
• The ANTICHRISTAL SYSTEM is the
EMBODIMENT of BEHEMOTH (Revelation
13:1-10). It is a DEMONIC SYSTEM that is
LARGE and STRONG with
STRONGHOLDS throughout various parts
of the world. To set the context, this
description of “BEHEMOTH” is given by
God Himself (Job 40:15-24). Let’s examine
the NATURE and CHARACTER of
BEHEMOTH in order to dismantle its
systems.
5.
6. Behemoth in the Book of Enoch
• The BOOK of ENOCH depicts the
JUDGMENT of BEHEMOTH (Enoch 58:5-
12). First, “The Book of Enoch” was
originally considered a proper part of Old
Testament literature by the Apostolic
Fathers, and was known and quoted from
by JESUS, Paul, John, and cited by Jude
(Jude 14-15). Sadly, the Hebrew cannon
eliminated the book because of controversy
concerning ANGELS and the APPEARING
of the “SON of MAN” who will sit on the
THRONE of GOD and judge men and
angels.
7. Behemoth in the Book of Enoch
• Enoch 58:5-12 states, “But when the time shall
come, then shall the power, the punishment,
and the judgment take place, which the LORD
of spirits has prepared for those who prostrate
themselves to the judgment of righteousness,
for those who abjure that judgment, and for
those who take His NAME in vain. That day has
been prepared for the elect as a day of
covenant; and for sinners as a day of inquisition.
In that day shall be distributed for food two
monsters; a female monster, whose name is
Leviathan, dwelling in the depths of the sea,
above the springs of waters; And a male
monster, whose name is Behemoth; which
possesses, moving on his breast, the invisible
wilderness.
8. Behemoth in the Book of Enoch
• His name was Dendayen in the east of the
garden, where the elect and the righteous will
dwell; where he received it from my ancestor,
who was man, from Adam the first of men,
whom the LORD of spirits made. Then I asked
of another angel to show me the power of those
monsters, how they became separated on the
same day, one being in the depths of the sea,
and one in the dry desert. And he said, ‘Thou,
son of man, art here desirous of understanding
secret things’. And the angel of peace, who was
with me, said, ‘These two monsters are by the
power of God prepared to become food, that the
punishment of God may not be in vain’”. Notice
the similarity of Revelation 19:17-21.
9. Behemoth in the Book of Enoch
• Notice that the CONTEXT of this
description is a discussion of the
JUDGMENT. The two creatures are
“prepared as food”. Leviathan dwells in
riches (“the depths of the sea”), whereas
BEHEMOTH dwells in the DESERT. They
are separated “that the punishment of God
may not be in vain”. Note Revelation 19:17-
18,21, they are the entrée for the GREAT
SUPPER of GOD. The BEHEMOTH comes
from a place to the EAST of the GARDEN,
in a place “where the elect and the
righteous will dwell”. He moves “on his
breast”, which implies a humiliated state.
10. Behemoth in the Book of Enoch
• Note Genesis 3:14 the SERPENT was
JUDGED and made to go on his BELLY
and EAT DUST all the days of his life.
SATAN was DEFEATED and FORCED to
take a HUMILIATED POSITION, under the
feet of mankind (Ephesians 1:19-23;
Colossians 2:15). BEHEMOTH has a
HUMILIATED POSITION; yet because of
his MASSIVE SIZE and STRENGTH, he
possesses “the invisible wilderness”. The
image is of vast, untapped resources which
the eye of the flesh cannot see; it is the
THOUGHT of MEN- his ideas. How do you
kill an idea?
11.
12. The Strength of Behemoth
• “His strength is in his loins” (Job 40:16).
Understanding this statement requires some
understanding of the various possible
meanings of “LOINS” in Old Testament
usage. First, the LOINS are the place of
FECUNDITY and FRUITFULNESS: “all the
souls that came out of the loins of Jacob
were seventy souls” (Exodus 1:5). To GIRD
the LOINS meant PULL UP and TUCK in the
BELT for TRAVEL or strenuous WORK
(Exodus 12:11; 1 Kings 18:46). God prefaces
His words to Job, “Gird up your loins now like
a man” (Job 38:3; 40:7); meaning, “Get a
hold of yourself”. To LOOSEN the LOINS
speaks of a LOSS of CONTROL (Daniel 5:6;
Isaiah 45:1).
13. The Strength of Behemoth
• Moses was instructed to COVER the LOINS of
Aaron and his sons for priesthood (Exodus 28:42).
The first COVERING of the LOINS was that of
ADAM and EVE (Genesis 3:7), who were later
COVERED by God (Genesis 3:21). The
COVERING about the LOINS refers to the
PROTECTION of POSTERITY. God instructs
Jeremiah to GIRD his LOINS with a fresh linen
girdle and then later, he is instructed to take it off
and bury it (Jeremiah 13:1-4). When the LORD
instructs Jeremiah to unearth the GIRDLE, it has
become ROTTEN and WORTHLESS (Jeremiah
13:6-11). God was telling Jeremiah that Israel and
Judah had not become “a people, for renown, for
praise and for glory”; they did not act like His
children.
14. The Strength of Behemoth
• So, the LOINS speak of CONTROLLING our
FRUITFULNESS and POSTERITY. This is a
SPIRITUAL LAW: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion…” (Genesis 1:28). Whatever is
FRUITFUL, multiples, and replenishes will
eventually SUBDUE. BEHEMOTH’S ABILITY to
REPRODUCE gives him the STRENGTH to
SUBDUE. Note the POLITICAL SYSTEM of
COMMUNISM and the RELIGIOUS SYSTEM of
ISLAM reproduced themselves in many nations.
They became BEHEMOTHS that CONTROLLED
the PEOPLE and bound up NATIONS, preventing
them from receiving the truth of the Gospel of the
Kingdom of God. The STRENGTH of BEHEMOTH
is how he deliberately CONTROLS the
FRUITFULNESS of his POSTERITY.
15.
16. The Power of Behemoth
• “His power is in the muscles of his belly” (Job
40:16). The BELLY speaks of EMOTIONS,
DIGESTION, and GESTATION. Proverbs 26:22
states, “The words of a talebearer are as
wounds, and they go down into the innermost
parts of the belly”. What we BROOD upon, fills
the BELLY; it CONSUMES us, eventually we
REPRODUCE and give BIRTH to it. This is
why we are warned to quickly turn away anger
and resentment (Matthew 5:22; Ephesians
4:26,31; Colossians 3:21). The BELLY brought
down to the DUST paints a picture of
HUMILIATION (Genesis 3:14).
17. The Power of Behemoth
• “Our soul is bowed down to the dust: our
belly cleaves unto the earth” (Psalms
44:25). The picture is of a people in GRIEF,
who can see nothing but their MISERY. The
misery of this world looms so large that the
soul is captured and brought down. The
MUSCLES of the BELLY speaks of
ELEMENTAL ATTACHMENT. The word
“MUSCLES” (sharir) means “CORD, sinew,
STAMINA, tendon, POWER”. In the context
of this study, “muscles of the belly” refer to
what the belly CLINGS to, which would also
indicate ATTACHMENT.
18. The Power of Behemoth
• Revealing the sin of the people, the LORD said, “…in
the day you were born your navel was not cut”
(Ezekiel 16:4). We remain ATTACHED to the
SYSTEM of BEHEMOTH by conforming to the
world’s BEHAVIORS (on television, in magazines, on
billboards...) and giving ourselves over to worldly
PLEASURES (Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 6:17).
We SEVER ourselves from the INFLUENCES by
deliberately LIVING the KINGDOM ASCENDED LIFE
(Galatians 2:20; Philippians 3:14). The POWER of
BEHEMOTH is the MUSCLES of his BELLY (Job
40:16). He is CONNECTED to the SYSTEMS of this
WORLD. He CONSUMES himself with the SYSTEMS
of the WORLD until he REPRODUCES in greater
POWER and SIZE (Luke 16:8).
19.
20. The Foundation of Behemoth
• “He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the
sinews of his stones are knit together. His
bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars
of iron” (Job 40:17-18). This denotes a
STRONG FOUNDATION. The FRAME or the
STRUCTURE of BEHEMOTH is described by
his TAIL, THIGHS, and BONES. The BONES
are as strong as IRON and BRASS. BONES
provide the STRUCTURE of the body. From
this we conclude that the BEHEMOTH is
SOLID at the CORE. Note IRON symbolizes
STRONG RULE and DESTRUCTION;
whereas, BRASS implies DURABILITY and
RETENTION.
21. The Foundation of Behemoth
• The STRUCTURE-SYSTEM of BEHEMOTH
is difficult to BREAK because it is an IDEA-
thought. Note his TAIL is stiff like a CEDAR
tree. The CEDAR tree is known for its
ABILITY to ABSORB the WATER of the
STORM and its FLEXIBILITY during strong
winds. After the storm, they return to their
STRENGTH. So, even when he bends,
there is VAST STRENGTH. The clue to that
STRENGTH is the “sinews of his stones are
knit together”.
22. The Foundation of Behemoth
• The word “STONES” (pachad) means
“TESTICLES”; modestly translated as
“thighs”, the thigh is one of the strongest
muscles of the body. “Pachad” also means
“TERROR, dread, FEAR, alarm”. The VAST
STRENGTH of BEHEMOTH is his virility in
PRODUCING and REPRODUCING
TERROR and FEAR. He GAINS STRENGTH
and grows by ACTS of TERROR. It can also
be said that the “STONES” are the SEAT of
LUSTS and PASSIONS that defile, degrade,
destroy, and often control mankind. The
STONES of BEHEMOTH are “knit together”.
His passions are CONTROLLED by his LUST
and PASSIONS.
23.
24. The Ways of God
• BEHEMOTH is a TYRANT. His SYSTEMS are
OPPRESSIVE, repressive and
DOMINEERING. Note to CONTROL the MIND
and WILL of a PERSON is WITCHCRAFT. This
can be a TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT like
COMMUNISM, Stalin’s Russia, or HITLER’S
GERMANY or a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM such as
ISLAM or CATHOLICISM. Their SIZE includes
geographical, MONETARY, political, and
MILITARY strength. This STRONGHOLD
cannot be ATTACKED like others because of
its sheer SIZE and the MAGNITUDE of its
strength.
25. The Ways of God
• It takes YEARS of persistent PRAY and FASTING
coupled with patient endurance, and often
martyrdom, to DESTROY a BEHEMOTH. Although
difficult to destroy, the LORD- his maker- has a
SWORD assigned for him. “He that made him can
make his sword to approach unto him” (Job
40:19). The MAKER’S SWORD means the
SWORD of His mouth (Revelation 19:15; Hebrews
4:12-13; Isaiah 49:2). In the context of Job, it also
means a PHYSICAL ASSAULT. The SWORD of
the LORD will STRIKE BEHEMOTH and his
SYSTEMS shall fall (Isaiah 21:9; Jeremiah 51:8;
Zechariah 11:2; Revelation 14:8; 18:2).
26. The Ways of God
• Job 40:20 states, “The mountains yield food
for him where all the wild beasts play”. The
EXTENSIVE KINGDOM and MASSIVE SIZE
of BEHEMOTH cause him to believe that he
is INVINCIBLE and INEXHAUSTIBLE. “Under
the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the
reeds and in the marsh. For his shade the
lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook
surround him” (vv. 21-22). As BEHEMOTH
hides in the depths, his INTELLECTUAL
PROWESS and MILITARY STRENGTH make
him feel UNAPPROACHABLE.
27. The Ways of God
• Like Leviathan, his PRIDE and tightly KNIT
SYSTEM teem with ARROGANCE. “Behold, if
the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is
confident though Jordan rushes against his
mouth” (v. 23). He is LARGE enough and
STRONG enough to SWALLOW a RAGING
RIVER. Note RIVERS are the CURRENCY of
man. The RAGING RIVER is mankind
FUNDING WAR or battle. This means that his
WEALTH is so VAST that he can ABSORB a
WAR that is launched against him. He INVITES
all CHALLENGERS. “Can one take him by his
eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?” (v. 24)
28. The Ways of God
• The Living Bible states it this way: “No one
can catch him off guard or put a ring in his
nose and lead him away”. In other words, it is
nearly impossible to CATCH or DEFEAT
BEHEMOTH. This is a picture of PRIDE.
Remember “Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs
16:18). “God resists the proud, but gives
grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you” (James 4:6-7).
29. The Ways of God
• “Be clothed with humility: for God resists the
proud, and gives grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in
due time” (1 Peter 5:5-6). In the flesh, we are
very weak and BEHEMOTH is a GIANT. In
the spirit, like David, we can CONQUER the
GIANT called BEHEMOTH. Our
CONFIDENCE is in the LORD of Hosts (1
Samuel 17:24-27,31-37,40-54).
30.
31. Conclusion
• The LORD of Hosts is RAISING up and TRAINING an
ARMY of BELIEVERS who will WAGE WAR in the
SPIRIT against the BEHEMOTH SPIRIT and its
systems. Do not attempt to face this strongman alone.
Remember he operates by SYSTEMS; therefore, he
has a MASSIVE NETWORK. You must be
CONNECTED and SUBMITTED to the proper
SPIRITUAL COVERING to be effective in the fight.
Learn the STRATEGIES and NETWORKS of
BEHEMOTH before you WAGE WAR against him.
Some spirits are beyond your individual authority.
Remember the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:11-20). The
LORD has anointed you and commissioned you to
PULL DOWN STRONGHOLDS and SET the
CAPTIVE FREE. Work within your authority and the
Body of Christ and you shall have good success.
