It's just the mythos around November 1st that makes people think October 31st has spiritual significance. November 1st was All Saints Day, a celebration of Christian saints when it was believed the saints would leave heaven and visit the earth in spiritual form. Thus All Hallows Eve (Halloween) naturally is born, and it was thought that demons would try to capture people and prevent the goodness of All Saints Day from happening, so you could ward off evil spirits with offerings, and if you wore different clothing the demons wouldn't recognize you and wouldn't attack, very much in line with a bride having bridesmaids (since there's multiple women in a veil and white the demon wouldn't know who to torment or take before she was wed. October 31st holds no spiritual significance. Satan and demons are just as powerful that day as every other day.
@@bufficliff8978The ancient Celts would have disagreed with you. For them, what is now October 31st is the New Year festival of Samhain. This was a time when they believed that the veil between the worlds - this world and the world of the dead - thinned, allowing spirits to pass back through to our world. It appears that this belief was co-opted into Churchianity as Hallowe'en. This day was perceived as evil by Churchianity, so they slapped All Saints' Day the day after. Pretty much every holiday in the Christian calendar was "adopted" from older belief systems.
This is a hard topic to tackle, I appreciate your diligence and especially appreciate your attention to the context of the verses cited. Misconceptions about Satan run RAMPANT today, and we need more people willing to unpack the biblical explanation to counter those fallacies built on tradition and confusion.
How is the following Bible verses reconciled with the New Testament and the Christian church when it is written that one of God's holy spirits (verses 21 & 22) puts lies in the mouth of certain prophets? Could this also have happened to the writers of the New Testament? 1 Kings 22:19-23 19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
@@mariobethell3731 Unfortunately, you’ve only replied to my comment, and not posted a general comment on the video, so you may not get many answers besides me since your question won’t be seen as easily. Only mentioning that because your question seems like one for everyone, not related just to my comment. But I’ll offer what answer I can, though I can’t claim to be an expert on Kings, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve studied it. First a little housekeeping. God is sovereign and omnipresent. We see in cases like Job that even in conditions of pain and loss, adversaries like Satan cannot act outside of God’s ordination, and we even see a similar scene where a deceptive spirit (in Job’s case,Satan) is allowed to speak to God and be in his presence. The spirit mentioned in Micaiah’s vision in Kings is never called ‘holy’, so we should also be careful not to give that title to it, lest we establish an equality to God’s character that the text hasn’t made. Additionally, Michaiah is describing a prophetic vision, and any time we’re dealing with prophecy like this, we should be careful not to get too caught up in the weeds of its literal description, prophecy’s main goal is often to make a truth clear, not necessarily narrate a physical literal event(for example, God already knows everything, audible conversation is unnecessary for His account, so conversations depicted like the one shown are there for US as readers and hearers). I don’t want to say something like “it’s all metaphor, no worries”, but just want that to be a caution given any time we dive into accounts of prophetic vision Now, let’s look at some of the context. Kings as a whole is penned during the time of Israel’s exile, in many ways as an answer to the national question of “Why would God let this exile happen to his people”, and it goes through king after king, comparing them spiritually to king David and with painfully few exceptions, they all fail and lead Israel further away from YHWH and closer to the worship of false idols and foreign gods. Ahab was among the most garbage of those kings. He was constantly chasing idols and surrounded himself with prophets who were not true to the Lord, but either mixed up in his synchronization of foreign dieties, or just told him what he wanted to hear, with no actual appeal to God himself, except what might be made for appearance only so they could claim ‘God was with them’. Ahab CONSTANTLY found himself at odds with true prophets who followed YHWH, like Elijah and Micaiah. In order to go to war, the king of Judah requested that Ahab seek the Lord’s counsel before joining him in battle. All Ahab’s ‘prophets’ said “You got this, Ahab, God is so dang happy with you”, but Judah’s king follows up by specifically asking if there was a prophet of YHWH in the land. This tells us that Ahab’s cabinet of prophets was not following the same God, in a way that was somehow clear to Judah’s king(who was one of the few ‘good, God-fearing’ kings in the book, fun fact). Then Micaiah shows up as the prophet of the true God, and gives this vision as an explanation as to why all of Ahab’s ‘prophets’ are wrong, while his prophecy of Ahab failing and dying is correct. So we have true prophets that God is speaking through, and false prophets that are claiming to have divine revelation, when God isn’t actually speaking to them. Verses like Dueteronomy 18:22 tell us that the sign of a true prophet is that what they proclaim comes to pass, while false prophets speak presumptuously and inevitably are incorrect, even if a blind squirrel may find a nut sometimes. Now with God being sovereign, he’s choosing to speak truth through the prophets that honor and follow him, while not extending that privilege to prophets that reject him or seek to build themselves up. So almost poetically, the prophets whose own spirits are characterized by lies, indeed receive deceptive spirits instead of true revelation. Is this because God arbitrarily decides to lie to some people to make his decisions happen? By no means. Those who seek lies find exactly what they were looking for. These were not prophets who were just ‘doing their best’ or ‘doing the wrong things with the right intentions’. They were enemies of God, claiming to speak for him while helping an evil king to lead God’s people deeper into forbidden idol-worship, replacing the God of truth with false pretenses and damnation. In effect, this is like the Tower of Babel account, but instead of confounding their spoke language, he confounds their prophetic visions, because the gods they sought vision from were already lies and cheap knockoffs with no real power to make their prophecies come true. Michaiah’s vision attempts to give some explanation to the strange and complicated spiritual workings that we only see evidence of in our daily life, but there’s still much that is hard for us to unpack. God Himself does not lie. But lies exist, and God is sovereign. Those that seek after lies are often permitted to find them. God warns about this throughout scripture, so when those that rebel against God find lies and deception, God’s actually being true to the word of warning He’s already given. Contrast this with prophecies coming from those that rightly seek the Lord, and you see a very different pattern, characterized by God being true to HIS word as He has promised to be. Additionally, whereas we see here that a prophet of God comes and rebukes the false prophets, the books within the Bible continually AFFIRM each other, so we see the Holy Spirit inspiring one writer, and then in another place the Holy Spirit inspires another writer to support what was written previously, piling truth upon truth instead of someone later pointing out ways the old prophets were wrong. I hope this helps a bit.
@@mariobethell3731 You are a fool trying to destroy faith... Didn't you read the passage?? Was Micaiah not a true prophet of God and did he not tell King Ahab precisely that he was being deceived by these fake prophets and how? So if the King had listened to the true prophet of God he wouldn't have been killed? And can you tell me where the lying spirit in the passage is said to be holy? You're the only one here who is deceived by a lying spirit.
HOW COULD GOD JESUS FORGIVE **SATAN/LUCIFER AS A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; WHEN THE FATHER OF SATAN IS A LIAR; A MURDERER; A COVETEOUS BEING; AND A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED ALL OPPOSITE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? IT LIKE YE FORGIVING A LION AFTER HE BITS YE AND STILL LIVE WITH THE LION; THEN NEXT THE LION WILL EAT YE.... YE ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND SATAN WAS BORN/SOWN INTO THE WORLD OF CREATION AFTER ADAM DECEIVED AND BETRAYED GOD JESUS IN THE BEGINNING; FOR THIS WAS THE SIN OF ADAM TO OBEY SATAN THE CUNNING BEAST SEED AND THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE WOMAN THE DEVIL; FOR ADAM AND EVE ARE BOTH ALMIGHTY FLESH OF THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE DEVIL/WOMAN; THIS IS WHY EVE DECEIVED ADAM BECAUSE OF THE GENES AND SEED OF THE DEVIL ALMIGHTY FLESH. THE SAME FOR SATAN THAT IS WHY HE CHALLENGED GOD JESUS IN HEAVEN BECAUSE SATAN IS THE ALMIGHTY ***SON OF THE DECEIVER; BLASPHEMER AND BETRAYER THE DRAGON; CUNNING BEAST SEED OF CREATION. THIS IS WHY SATAN WAS A BEAUTY BECAUSE HE IS THE WHITE ALMIGHTY SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION. THEN GREATEST OF ALL THIS IS WHY TODAY 2024 **THE WHITE SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION ARE ALL SATAN MALES/FEMALES. WE COULD ALL SEE THE REALITY AND TRUTH OF CREATION IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE 2024 YEARS AGO FATHER OF ADORATION WAS CAESAR NOT GOD THE FATHER OR GOD JESUS. SO LET US FACE THE FACTS GOD JESUS CONQUERED DEATH AND FORGAVE YE ALL WHITE SUPREMACY SATAN MALES/FEMALES; FOR WHAT YE SOW THAT YE SHALL REAP. FOR TAKE A SIMPLE EXAMPLE THE GREAT USA WHITE SUPREMACY ADMINISTRATION KNOWS TO A FACT ***THE COMMANDMENTS SOWN THOU SHALL NOT KILL; BUT STILL SUPPLING ISRAEL WITH ARMS AND WEAPONS; SAME AS THE WHITE SUPREMACIES OF SATAN MALES AND FEMALES IN RUSSIA. SO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND GET THE REALITY OF WHO IS SATAN AND WHO SATAN CAME FROM NOT; NEVER GOD
I heard & watched many biblical teachings & by far this is the best on Satan/devil/Lucifer. The Scripture, the points, principles, with practical applications. I love it. Thanks for this amazing video, Pastor Allen Parr. Please keep it coming.
My mother and I just talked about this on yesterday and I just so happen to stumble across this video. Thank you for explaining this and providing biblical reference. 👍🏾
Thank you brother Allen, for being the example and pushing us to start our own ministry. On this channel, I pray that the gospel poetry I share touches hearts in a way our Father in heaven will be proud of.
hello sir, im an eastern orthodox christian i've watch your video, i've subscribed to your channel, your explanation on trinity is on point, and this is blessing, God Bless us different member of churches but one in Jesus Christ

@@brandinshaeffer8970 Thank you, sister. I help the priest in the church, at the altar. In the village called "Bajmok", Serbia. I am from Serbia, nice to meet you.
What a blessing to have learned teachers here on earth. I read and listen to my Bible. I get confused even though I have prayed for discernment. Thank you Yahweh ❤
@DiscipleDave But the Holy Spirit works through people (Acts 20:28 plus a HOST of other Scriptures)... So what you're saying is just false. Even the written Bible itself is a testament to the Lord using PEOPLE to share the truth. Paul wrote all his letters to teach others, and more than that, even his oral teaching was also the word of God. The key is being able to discern who is of the Holy Spirit and who is not. You don't just trust no one and go with "what the Holy Spirit says to me in my head", that's how you end up with the disunity of the Protestant branch of Christianity.
Satan is like a prosecutor and he gives you temptation to prove to G-d that you are not good or worthy, in my opinion. That is his job. That is what he was made for. He has NO free will. He is G-d’s servant. Lucifer is not Satan.
Kuwait? Wow..right in the middle of satans armies.. Well then may God keep and protect you and your line and usher you all into safety’s arms. 🙏🏼We pray for our brothers and sisters who are still so close threats on your lives for knowing and praising the ONE true Lord of armies.
@@sissy9393absolutely.. in fact there are 5 satans.. I’ve heard (I think it was) David Carrico even giving their names or at least one of them.. and No,satan is not Lucifer,Lucifer was one of the very first GIANTS.. extremely tall and is now a Mudfossil.
Excellent teaching! I have been following you for the past 3-4 years and have had a few differences but we have come to an understanding of love priority. Really enjoy and learn from your teaching. A few months back you changed positions on a controversial subject with such grace and love and want to commend you for the way you handled this teaching. I truly admire you and thank you for your ministry. In His Rest!
Great video, Allen! Just FYI, the video seems to have a stuttering issue between 12:11 and 12:15. The audio completely cuts out and the video freezes. It’s not too long for you to be able to pick up on the context and know what you’re talking about though.
This is all so very interesting and stimulating. I learn more by watching Allen’s videos and reading all the comments than pretty much any other UA-cam studies. This video is one of the better ones! Allen you are one of the few Christian UA-camrs that resonates with my views. Somehow, when I study something for hours and hours it seems your conclusions almost always make the most sense. I regularly watch about 20 different channels after I study the Bible and read several commentaries and somehow you and I agree! I know God is guiding your ministry.
Thank you, Brother Allen. We as Christians definitely have to be able to recognize pride in ourselves and stay before the Lord. God bless you and continue to let God use you.😊
Brother, this is an excellent video! Holy Spirit worked mightily in you with this one! So many people have wondered and have asked where did all this evil come from, and our beloved Friend allowed you to answer in a most sincere way. Well done, and great listening!
This was great! Thanks! I also love how additional details about this and the war in heaven was revealed in great clarity over 200 years ago to a modern prophet. Lucifer's pride was to try and take the Father's glory. He rebelled against God's plan, sought to replace Christ, destroy the moral agency of man, and take God's glory because of it. Due to his rebellion, he was cast out, and pursued 1/3 of heaven to follow.
This was a powerful video! Thank you Pastor Allen for the many deep topics and insights that God called you to share with us! Keep at it, because we need you bro. 😎💯
Thank you for sharing this teaching and this video. I’ve never heard the “story of Satan”, except in a very rudimentary way. I believe I have a more robust understanding now of Lucifer and the lessons we can learn from his story. I continue to pray for you, Brother Parr. Thank you for all you do! 💛
It is good but also incomplete. While pride did lead to the devils fall, it was mainly the devils jealously of man that was the real kicker. He didn’t like or understand Gods love for simple creatures such as man. In addition, due to the love and mercy of God, Satan was not expelled for years and I was given ample time to change
Around min 12:10, the video stops abruptly while you are teaching about the fact that hell was originally created for Satan and his demons, but it is also the destination of souls who follow Satan in his rebellion. You had just posed the question: What does that mean for us? and the video then sticks and the audio stops for about 5 secs, but it kind of picks up right where you left off. Wasn't sure if you realized that or not and it belies your high level of professionalism that I've become accustomed to. That imperfection notwithstanding, this really blessed me. Thank you for consistently being His willing vessel. God bless you and your wife and family. Shalom to you all.
Thank you brother allen for sharing this powerful reminder. God bless your channel. May the Lord continue to use you as His instrument of a true gospel.
This was wonderful to watch, Allen! Thank you so much! I watched this in conjunction with my personal quiet time today :) I felt like I was watching a professor give a lecture, in the best way possible! Your background in teaching definitely comes through ❤️
That same logic, could also be used with Jesus. When he told Peter he was going to build his church on that rock. And then he said, “get behind me Satan.” Most Protestants use that as a reason why Peter couldn’t be the one who leads the church. He wasn’t worthy. But, it was Satan who put doubt in Peter, and Jesus wasn’t talking to Peter, but to Satan for putting the doubt in him. And thus, the church was built, still, through Peter.
Actually The rock that Jesus is speaking of, is the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God, that the Father(God) has just reveal to Peter.. Mathew 16:13- 18 the context of these verse is about the identity of Jesus Christ alone, in those verse Jesus ask his deciples what do the people in the town caesarea phillipi say about Jesus, his deciples told him that some said that he is John the Baptist, some said Elijah, jeremiah Or one of the prophets. So wheh Jesus ask his deciples what about you, what do u say about me? Then Peter replied that you are the Messiah the son of the living God..
Jesus is the son of the living God, and he is the rock that his church was built upon, he came down from heaven to die for our sins, he is sinless yet he is condem, his blood washes our sins away, trust me on this, he is the rock.
Thank you, brother Allen whenever you tell a story in the Bible, it is easy for me to use my imagination. You really can tell a story and thank you for recommending the daily audio Bible. It is great between you and Bryan. I believe my Bible study have gone to the next level
Thank you Brother Allen, this video is awesome, straight to the point. I have just recently, last week, stumbled across your sharing videos and have enjoyed them.
I’ve thought about that a lot.. if we go to Heaven as Christian’s which we are promised that and we expect that but that’s why I keep telling myself Heaven is perfect but it’s not like some ppl think it’s not “our perfect Heaven “ it’s God’s Kingdom 👑 not OURS! We are servants of his and get to celebrate his glory right along side him but we all have to remember we could always still fall, we’re not there forever if we don’t obey right?! Or am I wrong. Will we not know sin anymore? Honestly is something I get a bit confused about rn .. I’m trying to research more on this
@@lindseyflickner7749 you will never know bc we will always be stupid compared to god who knows the past, present and future. I am alpha and omega.The beginning and the end. God is light years ahead of us in knowledge. So far, that we are looked upon as microscopic organism to God. Rats and mice trapped in a maze seeking a way out of hell or to heaven or to the cheese. 😆
About a decade ago, my pride started getting out of control while doing God's work ON CHURCH GROUNDS! I do not blame God AT ALL for throwing me down like lightning from my position like He did to Satan lol. I've come to realize what an abomination my attitude was and how serious of a sin I was committing in front of God. Although I am in so much misery, I admit that I 100% deserve this punishment. And it's not just punishment, my Heavenly Father is lovingly disciplining me. Amidst my misery, He found me and reached out His compassionate and loving hand towards me. The Holy Spirit came and wiped out everything out of my life that did not belong, addictions, people, etc. and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. I am so incredibly grateful to God that He has humbled me and stopped me sooner rather than later, it just proves to me how much He loves me and cares for me. The Holy Spirit has been guiding me and teaching me a lot lately and I'm so incredibly happy about that and so incredibly honored. I am so incredibly unworthy, but God still does everything in His power to not let me perish😢.
Thank you Mr Allen for the powerful revelation concerning Lucifer. But the controversial question is: how was Lucifer persuaded/influenced to sin if God created him to be Holy and perfect??
A similar question would be asking how could Adam sin if he was made perfect? I think the answer to this question and yours would be the same: Being made perfect doesn't mean that you can't sin. What it means is that there is no sin in you when you are created. However with the ability to love comes the ability to choose. Love isn't really love if I can't choose not to love. Choosing not to love God would be sin, but I would need to make the choice of my own free will in order to truly love Him. So the ability to choose (free will) is what gives the potential to sin, even though Adam/Satan weren't made with sin in them.
@MrOlu109 There's a clear difference adam and lucifer. Lucifer was created as a perfect holy angel who resided in heaven while Adam was created on earth. When you are holy and created to be perfect, having freewill doesnt make you sin unless there's an external influence that could have tempted lucifer like the way the serpent tempted Eve
@@MrPM779 In Genesis 3:6 Eve saw the tree was to be desired to make one wise, which was a direct transgression of the commandment she'd been given. Did that desire come from within her before she sinned, or from the external influence of the devil alone? If that desire came from within her before she sinned, why can't an evil desire rise up in Satan before he sinned?
@@MrPM779 Why in your mind does there need to be a tempter in order for you to sin? Sin began in Satan with his own evil desires and pride. As the Lord said, it's not what is outside that defiles but what is inside, for out of the heart comes all sorts of evil. So I'm not sure exactly why you seem to think that Satan couldn't fall of his own accord? Do you not think that Adam and Eve were created perfect and holy, just as Satan was?
Very helpful Mr. Parr. I feel guilty because I allow my 19 year old to taste my mixed drink and I allowed her to in front of the younger kids. I pray God will forgive me. I haven't been living the life God wants me to live lately and I really want to be restored so that I can live for him.

@@cc3775 it is in the Bible, it’s contained in lots of different prophecies, and these prophecies have multiple fulfillments, and symbolism pointing to Satan! It’s amazing how God showed the prophets the future and the past with the same language!
@@cc3775 and you can prove that how? I did this study in my own, most scholars agree with this teaching, and so does church history. If your so enlightened, explain why to all the people with PhDs please
@@casenswartz7278 so scholars are infallible? Scholars and people with degrees get things wrong all the time. I don’t need to prove anything. I’m not making the claim that the Bible has some hidden subplot. Isaiah 14:3-23 is about the King of Babylon and no one else.
Anakin is Adam, who is tempted by Palpatine (Satan) and suffers a kind of death as a result.

Unpopular opinion. If you do biblical scholarly work, you'll realise that Lucifer is not his name (it refers to the morning star, Venus. Isaiah in chapter 14 uses the planet Venus as an analogy of the star that shines bright in the morning. The original morning star is Jesus himself). Satan is not his personable name (he refers to the opposer, Jesus, called Peter "satan"). Same with the devil (the accuser). They are titles. The enemy's name is not revealed in the bible. The key to understanding this topic is to study the original language or texts in the OT and the NT. Please do your research. Don't build an expectation to be spoonfed on theological topics. Do your due diligence in everything God-centred. I encourage debate and discussion around this. I'm not dogmatic around this. But the truth needs to be said, with love being the goal.
I commented something similar myself. Even the Angel of the Lord (who is the pre-incarnate Son of God) is said to act as "Satan" in Numbers 22:22, showing that the term "satan" can be used for other entities besides the devil. You need to look into the Hebrew to see this. However it is also clear in Scripture that the term "Satan" can be what we believers call the devil and refer to him by (and in that way be his name). Also I looked into the Latin of Revelation 22:16, and whilst Jesus is the "bright morning star", it doesn't say lucifer there. Where it does say lucifer however is in 2 Peter 1:19, where "lucifer" is said to rise in all believers' hearts! Apparently we should all be reading this as Satan rising in our hearts... (smh) Again very clear that Isaiah 14 isn't about Satan at all, and as you said, it's so important to do your own research in this and actually look at the passages in context.
@@MrOlu109 interesting. Is the Book of Revelation initially written in Latin? Also agree on the Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Christ. It was mindblowing when I came across that.
@@mutsvaiv No it's written in Greek the same as all of the New Testament. But the word "lucifer" is a borrowed word from Latin, it's not Hebrew. So even though that's the word that we see in the KJV and NKJV of Isaiah 14:12, it's not original to the text. I was only saying that in the Latin copies of Revelation, they don't use the word "lucifer" in Revelation 22:16. But they do use it in 2 Peter 1:19. Yes I learnt that our Lord Jesus is the Old Testament Angel of the Lord fairly recently myself. It was also a unanimous belief among the early church fathers. Have you heard of Sam Shamoun btw? I've been learning from him and he has definitely been gifted by the Spirit to teach the Scriptures. He goes to levels I haven't experienced elsewhere on UA-cam, let alone in church on a Sunday.
@@tylerknight1515 Perfectly made doesn't mean there is no potential to sin. To not have the potential to sin, means that you cannot choose to sin. But if you cannot choose to sin and do wrong, you also can't choose to love and do right either. You'd just be a mindless robot doing what you've been programmed to do. But God didn't want that. Instead, God wanted a family of angelic and human creatures who would truly love Him and worship Him in spirit and truth. And so for the sake of love, He made His creatures perfectly but with the potential to choose Him or not choose Him freely. And that means the potential to sin.
Thank you brother Parr. And thank you for your humble spirit, please do not let some UA-cam creators get your spirit down, you're doing a great work for the Lord.

This was a very good video and a detailed yet easy to understand description of the origin of Satan. Very important that we use scripture to back up any opinion. Thank you for using scripture and not your opinion. Love and learn from your teachings.
That was awesome! Great breakdown.. you made it easy for me to grasp your points.. got me onboard with a subscription.. you are definetly top brass in God's army.. good stuff...

Pastor Parr, may the grace of God be upon you and may your ministry continue to be blessed. In Jesus’ name. Will you please do a pod cast on book of Ezekiel? Thank you. God bless you and your beautiful family 💖
Thank you Brother Allen, this is an extremely informative video. Since I thought about life and God's creation as a whole, including angels and demons, Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel, and the devil or satan, after I became a Christian in 1989, I believed it to be the way you explained. However, I could never tell anybody WHY I believed it and certainly did not have the theological knowledge to explain it. This is great! Perhaps you should do a series on angels, seraphim, serabim, cherubs, and what those words mean, and what the roles of the different beings are, what it means in our lives, and what our position is in relation to them before God. That would be something I would enjoy tremendously.

This was a time when they believed that the veil between the worlds - this world and the world of the dead - thinned, allowing spirits to pass back through to our world. It appears that this belief was co-opted into Churchianity as Hallowe'en.
This day was perceived as evil by Churchianity, so they slapped All Saints' Day the day after. Pretty much every holiday in the Christian calendar was "adopted" from older belief systems.
Wow, reading these comments… I fear for the soul of many that have been and are being deceived.
Thank you Brother Allen for a great teaching!
This is a hard topic to tackle, I appreciate your diligence and especially appreciate your attention to the context of the verses cited. Misconceptions about Satan run RAMPANT today, and we need more people willing to unpack the biblical explanation to counter those fallacies built on tradition and confusion.
How is the following Bible verses reconciled with the New Testament and the Christian church when it is written that one of God's holy spirits (verses 21 & 22) puts lies in the mouth of certain prophets? Could this also have happened to the writers of the New Testament?
1 Kings 22:19-23
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
@@mariobethell3731 Unfortunately, you’ve only replied to my comment, and not posted a general comment on the video, so you may not get many answers besides me since your question won’t be seen as easily. Only mentioning that because your question seems like one for everyone, not related just to my comment. But I’ll offer what answer I can, though I can’t claim to be an expert on Kings, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve studied it.
First a little housekeeping. God is sovereign and omnipresent. We see in cases like Job that even in conditions of pain and loss, adversaries like Satan cannot act outside of God’s ordination, and we even see a similar scene where a deceptive spirit (in Job’s case,Satan) is allowed to speak to God and be in his presence. The spirit mentioned in Micaiah’s vision in Kings is never called ‘holy’, so we should also be careful not to give that title to it, lest we establish an equality to God’s character that the text hasn’t made. Additionally, Michaiah is describing a prophetic vision, and any time we’re dealing with prophecy like this, we should be careful not to get too caught up in the weeds of its literal description, prophecy’s main goal is often to make a truth clear, not necessarily narrate a physical literal event(for example, God already knows everything, audible conversation is unnecessary for His account, so conversations depicted like the one shown are there for US as readers and hearers). I don’t want to say something like “it’s all metaphor, no worries”, but just want that to be a caution given any time we dive into accounts of prophetic vision
Now, let’s look at some of the context. Kings as a whole is penned during the time of Israel’s exile, in many ways as an answer to the national question of “Why would God let this exile happen to his people”, and it goes through king after king, comparing them spiritually to king David and with painfully few exceptions, they all fail and lead Israel further away from YHWH and closer to the worship of false idols and foreign gods. Ahab was among the most garbage of those kings. He was constantly chasing idols and surrounded himself with prophets who were not true to the Lord, but either mixed up in his synchronization of foreign dieties, or just told him what he wanted to hear, with no actual appeal to God himself, except what might be made for appearance only so they could claim ‘God was with them’. Ahab CONSTANTLY found himself at odds with true prophets who followed YHWH, like Elijah and Micaiah. In order to go to war, the king of Judah requested that Ahab seek the Lord’s counsel before joining him in battle. All Ahab’s ‘prophets’ said “You got this, Ahab, God is so dang happy with you”, but Judah’s king follows up by specifically asking if there was a prophet of YHWH in the land. This tells us that Ahab’s cabinet of prophets was not following the same God, in a way that was somehow clear to Judah’s king(who was one of the few ‘good, God-fearing’ kings in the book, fun fact). Then Micaiah shows up as the prophet of the true God, and gives this vision as an explanation as to why all of Ahab’s ‘prophets’ are wrong, while his prophecy of Ahab failing and dying is correct.
So we have true prophets that God is speaking through, and false prophets that are claiming to have divine revelation, when God isn’t actually speaking to them. Verses like Dueteronomy 18:22 tell us that the sign of a true prophet is that what they proclaim comes to pass, while false prophets speak presumptuously and inevitably are incorrect, even if a blind squirrel may find a nut sometimes. Now with God being sovereign, he’s choosing to speak truth through the prophets that honor and follow him, while not extending that privilege to prophets that reject him or seek to build themselves up. So almost poetically, the prophets whose own spirits are characterized by lies, indeed receive deceptive spirits instead of true revelation. Is this because God arbitrarily decides to lie to some people to make his decisions happen? By no means. Those who seek lies find exactly what they were looking for. These were not prophets who were just ‘doing their best’ or ‘doing the wrong things with the right intentions’. They were enemies of God, claiming to speak for him while helping an evil king to lead God’s people deeper into forbidden idol-worship, replacing the God of truth with false pretenses and damnation. In effect, this is like the Tower of Babel account, but instead of confounding their spoke language, he confounds their prophetic visions, because the gods they sought vision from were already lies and cheap knockoffs with no real power to make their prophecies come true. Michaiah’s vision attempts to give some explanation to the strange and complicated spiritual workings that we only see evidence of in our daily life, but there’s still much that is hard for us to unpack. God Himself does not lie. But lies exist, and God is sovereign. Those that seek after lies are often permitted to find them. God warns about this throughout scripture, so when those that rebel against God find lies and deception, God’s actually being true to the word of warning He’s already given.
Contrast this with prophecies coming from those that rightly seek the Lord, and you see a very different pattern, characterized by God being true to HIS word as He has promised to be. Additionally, whereas we see here that a prophet of God comes and rebukes the false prophets, the books within the Bible continually AFFIRM each other, so we see the Holy Spirit inspiring one writer, and then in another place the Holy Spirit inspires another writer to support what was written previously, piling truth upon truth instead of someone later pointing out ways the old prophets were wrong.
I hope this helps a bit.
@@mariobethell3731 You are a fool trying to destroy faith... Didn't you read the passage??
Was Micaiah not a true prophet of God and did he not tell King Ahab precisely that he was being deceived by these fake prophets and how? So if the King had listened to the true prophet of God he wouldn't have been killed?
And can you tell me where the lying spirit in the passage is said to be holy? You're the only one here who is deceived by a lying spirit.
HOW COULD GOD JESUS FORGIVE **SATAN/LUCIFER AS A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; WHEN THE FATHER OF SATAN IS A LIAR; A MURDERER; A COVETEOUS BEING; AND A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED ALL OPPOSITE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? IT LIKE YE FORGIVING A LION AFTER HE BITS YE AND STILL LIVE WITH THE LION; THEN NEXT THE LION WILL EAT YE.... YE ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND SATAN WAS BORN/SOWN INTO THE WORLD OF CREATION AFTER ADAM DECEIVED AND BETRAYED GOD JESUS IN THE BEGINNING; FOR THIS WAS THE SIN OF ADAM TO OBEY SATAN THE CUNNING BEAST SEED AND THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE WOMAN THE DEVIL; FOR ADAM AND EVE ARE BOTH ALMIGHTY FLESH OF THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE DEVIL/WOMAN; THIS IS WHY EVE DECEIVED ADAM BECAUSE OF THE GENES AND SEED OF THE DEVIL ALMIGHTY FLESH. THE SAME FOR SATAN THAT IS WHY HE CHALLENGED GOD JESUS IN HEAVEN BECAUSE SATAN IS THE ALMIGHTY ***SON OF THE DECEIVER; BLASPHEMER AND BETRAYER THE DRAGON; CUNNING BEAST SEED OF CREATION. THIS IS WHY SATAN WAS A BEAUTY BECAUSE HE IS THE WHITE ALMIGHTY SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION. THEN GREATEST OF ALL THIS IS WHY TODAY 2024 **THE WHITE SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION ARE ALL SATAN MALES/FEMALES. WE COULD ALL SEE THE REALITY AND TRUTH OF CREATION IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE 2024 YEARS AGO FATHER OF ADORATION WAS CAESAR NOT GOD THE FATHER OR GOD JESUS. SO LET US FACE THE FACTS GOD JESUS CONQUERED DEATH AND FORGAVE YE ALL WHITE SUPREMACY SATAN MALES/FEMALES; FOR WHAT YE SOW THAT YE SHALL REAP. FOR TAKE A SIMPLE EXAMPLE THE GREAT USA WHITE SUPREMACY ADMINISTRATION KNOWS TO A FACT ***THE COMMANDMENTS SOWN THOU SHALL NOT KILL; BUT STILL SUPPLING ISRAEL WITH ARMS AND WEAPONS; SAME AS THE WHITE SUPREMACIES OF SATAN MALES AND FEMALES IN RUSSIA. SO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND GET THE REALITY OF WHO IS SATAN AND WHO SATAN CAME FROM NOT; NEVER GOD

What a blessing to have learned teachers here on earth. I read and listen to my Bible. I get confused even though I have prayed for discernment. Thank you Yahweh ❤
@DiscipleDave But the Holy Spirit works through people (Acts 20:28 plus a HOST of other Scriptures)... So what you're saying is just false. Even the written Bible itself is a testament to the Lord using PEOPLE to share the truth. Paul wrote all his letters to teach others, and more than that, even his oral teaching was also the word of God.
The key is being able to discern who is of the Holy Spirit and who is not. You don't just trust no one and go with "what the Holy Spirit says to me in my head", that's how you end up with the disunity of the Protestant branch of Christianity.
This was informative. A whole bible study in 15 minutes. Thank you 🙏 Watching from Kuwait 🇰🇼

Satan is like a prosecutor and he gives you temptation to prove to G-d that you are not good or worthy, in my opinion. That is his job. That is what he was made for. He has NO free will. He is G-d’s servant. Lucifer is not Satan.

Excellent teaching! I have been following you for the past 3-4 years and have had a few differences but we have come to an understanding of love priority. Really enjoy and learn from your teaching. A few months back you changed positions on a controversial subject with such grace and love and want to commend you for the way you handled this teaching. I truly admire you and thank you for your ministry. In His Rest!
Excellent educated delusional talked about lies.
This was so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this message. I will go back and study those scriptures more in depth. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video, Allen! Just FYI, the video seems to have a stuttering issue between 12:11 and 12:15. The audio completely cuts out and the video freezes. It’s not too long for you to be able to pick up on the context and know what you’re talking about though.
Yeah I noticed that. We need to do a better job at watching the video when we upload to UA-cam to make sure we aren’t making any mistakes.
❤ warning intense ❤ all are allowed
Last 3 days. Jesus power starts now...
This is all so very interesting and stimulating. I learn more by watching Allen’s videos and reading all the comments than pretty much any other UA-cam studies. This video is one of the better ones! Allen you are one of the few Christian UA-camrs that resonates with my views. Somehow, when I study something for hours and hours it seems your conclusions almost always make the most sense. I regularly watch about 20 different channels after I study the Bible and read several commentaries and somehow you and I agree! I know God is guiding your ministry.
Thank you Allen. You always have the gift to explain scriptures so even I can understand
Thank you, Brother Allen. We as Christians definitely have to be able to recognize pride in ourselves and stay before the Lord. God bless you and continue to let God use you.😊
Pride was the reason Lucifer fell from grace.....
Thanks Allen and bless you for the time and energy you devote to this channel. Cheers and prayer!
You are very welcome!
Dude I LOVED the Star Wars reference! Lol. Great video. Thanks, Allen!
Brother, this is an excellent video! Holy Spirit worked mightily in you with this one! So many people have wondered and have asked where did all this evil come from, and our beloved Friend allowed you to answer in a most sincere way. Well done, and great listening!
This was great! Thanks!
I also love how additional details about this and the war in heaven was revealed in great clarity over 200 years ago to a modern prophet.
Lucifer's pride was to try and take the Father's glory. He rebelled against God's plan, sought to replace Christ, destroy the moral agency of man, and take God's glory because of it. Due to his rebellion, he was cast out, and pursued 1/3 of heaven to follow.
I did have the same question! Thank you for this teaching, Pastor Allen. You are such a blessing.
Wow!!! I'm catholic and i learned more in this video than ever. I will be watching alot more. The sincerity is obvious
This was a powerful video! Thank you Pastor Allen for the many deep topics and insights that God called you to share with us! Keep at it, because we need you bro. 😎💯

Thank you for sharing this teaching and this video. I’ve never heard the “story of Satan”, except in a very rudimentary way. I believe I have a more robust understanding now of Lucifer and the lessons we can learn from his story. I continue to pray for you, Brother Parr. Thank you for all you do! 💛
It is good but also incomplete. While pride did lead to the devils fall, it was mainly the devils jealously of man that was the real kicker. He didn’t like or understand Gods love for simple creatures such as man. In addition, due to the love and mercy of God, Satan was not expelled for years and I was given ample time to change
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉jesus❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Satan/devil😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂so evil
Around min 12:10, the video stops abruptly while you are teaching about the fact that hell was originally created for Satan and his demons, but it is also the destination of souls who follow Satan in his rebellion. You had just posed the question: What does that mean for us? and the video then sticks and the audio stops for about 5 secs, but it kind of picks up right where you left off. Wasn't sure if you realized that or not and it belies your high level of professionalism that I've become accustomed to. That imperfection notwithstanding, this really blessed me. Thank you for consistently being His willing vessel. God bless you and your wife and family. Shalom to you all.

This is one of the best biblical breakdowns I’ve heard! Excellent teaching!
Awesome truth's and well said! A present and eternal guidance and lesson. Thanks Allen.
That same logic, could also be used with Jesus. When he told Peter he was going to build his church on that rock. And then he said, “get behind me Satan.” Most Protestants use that as a reason why Peter couldn’t be the one who leads the church. He wasn’t worthy. But, it was Satan who put doubt in Peter, and Jesus wasn’t talking to Peter, but to Satan for putting the doubt in him. And thus, the church was built, still, through Peter.
Actually The rock that Jesus is speaking of, is the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God, that the Father(God) has just reveal to Peter..
Mathew 16:13- 18 the context of these verse is about the identity of Jesus Christ alone, in those verse Jesus ask his deciples what do the people in the town caesarea phillipi say about Jesus, his deciples told him that some said that he is John the Baptist, some said Elijah, jeremiah Or one of the prophets. So wheh Jesus ask his deciples what about you, what do u say about me? Then Peter replied that you are the Messiah the son of the living God..
Jesus is the son of the living God, and he is the rock that his church was built upon, he came down from heaven to die for our sins, he is sinless yet he is condem, his blood washes our sins away, trust me on this, he is the rock.
Protestants recognize Peter as the foundation of the church. We just don’t see him as a Pope, that’s all.
How great explanation! To GOD be the glory!
Well said Allen! This was what I needed to hear!
Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation!
Awesome... Thank you Lord for your Love and Mercy....

Lucifer had it all, the perfect cherub angel. The star of stars, and yet it still wasn't enough..... if he can fall from glory, then anybody can.
I’ve thought about that a lot.. if we go to Heaven as Christian’s which we are promised that and we expect that but that’s why I keep telling myself Heaven is perfect but it’s not like some ppl think it’s not “our perfect Heaven “ it’s God’s Kingdom 👑 not OURS! We are servants of his and get to celebrate his glory right along side him but we all have to remember we could always still fall, we’re not there forever if we don’t obey right?! Or am I wrong. Will we not know sin anymore? Honestly is something I get a bit confused about rn .. I’m trying to research more on this
@@lindseyflickner7749 you will never know bc we will always be stupid compared to god who knows the past, present and future. I am alpha and omega.The beginning and the end. God is light years ahead of us in knowledge. So far, that we are looked upon as microscopic organism to God.

WOW great analogy with Star Wars!
About a decade ago, my pride started getting out of control while doing God's work ON CHURCH GROUNDS! I do not blame God AT ALL for throwing me down like lightning from my position like He did to Satan lol. I've come to realize what an abomination my attitude was and how serious of a sin I was committing in front of God. Although I am in so much misery, I admit that I 100% deserve this punishment. And it's not just punishment, my Heavenly Father is lovingly disciplining me. Amidst my misery, He found me and reached out His compassionate and loving hand towards me. The Holy Spirit came and wiped out everything out of my life that did not belong, addictions, people, etc. and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. I am so incredibly grateful to God that He has humbled me and stopped me sooner rather than later, it just proves to me how much He loves me and cares for me. The Holy Spirit has been guiding me and teaching me a lot lately and I'm so incredibly happy about that and so incredibly honored. I am so incredibly unworthy, but God still does everything in His power to not let me perish😢.
I have learned a lot from your channel and I am still learning. May Almighty GOD bless
Thank you Mr Allen for the powerful revelation concerning Lucifer. But the controversial question is: how was Lucifer persuaded/influenced to sin if God created him to be Holy and perfect??
A similar question would be asking how could Adam sin if he was made perfect? I think the answer to this question and yours would be the same:
Being made perfect doesn't mean that you can't sin. What it means is that there is no sin in you when you are created. However with the ability to love comes the ability to choose. Love isn't really love if I can't choose not to love. Choosing not to love God would be sin, but I would need to make the choice of my own free will in order to truly love Him.
So the ability to choose (free will) is what gives the potential to sin, even though Adam/Satan weren't made with sin in them.
@MrOlu109 There's a clear difference adam and lucifer. Lucifer was created as a perfect holy angel who resided in heaven while Adam was created on earth.
When you are holy and created to be perfect, having freewill doesnt make you sin unless there's an external influence that could have tempted lucifer like the way the serpent tempted Eve
@@MrPM779 In Genesis 3:6 Eve saw the tree was to be desired to make one wise, which was a direct transgression of the commandment she'd been given. Did that desire come from within her before she sinned, or from the external influence of the devil alone?
If that desire came from within her before she sinned, why can't an evil desire rise up in Satan before he sinned?
@@MrOlu109 because no one tempted lucifer
@@MrPM779 Why in your mind does there need to be a tempter in order for you to sin? Sin began in Satan with his own evil desires and pride. As the Lord said, it's not what is outside that defiles but what is inside, for out of the heart comes all sorts of evil.
So I'm not sure exactly why you seem to think that Satan couldn't fall of his own accord? Do you not think that Adam and Eve were created perfect and holy, just as Satan was?
Another interesting and great topic. Thank you brother Allen. God bless you always.
Very helpful Mr. Parr. I feel guilty because I allow my 19 year old to taste my mixed drink and I allowed her to in front of the younger kids. I pray God will forgive me. I haven't been living the life God wants me to live lately and I really want to be restored so that I can live for him.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better alcohol isn't inherently sinful, and it's actually not illegal to do that in many states. I'm not trying to tell you how to parent or anything just trying to ease your mind if I can.

Star Wars actually has a lot of biblical inspiration behind it
But it is still a complete debauchery of it.
It really does!!! lol.
If memory serves me correctly, I think George Lucas was inspired by Joseph Campbell and "The Hero's Journey".
Anakin is Adam, who is tempted by Palpatine (Satan) and suffers a kind of death as a result. Later his own son (Luke) gives him a chance of redemption through his selfless actions. 80's and 90's scifi employed a lot of christian allegory. Current movies are just lectures from purple haired feminist.

Always remember this pattern,
1) Conflict is always between islam vs other religions
2) Other islamic countries will not accept those affected muslims as their refugees, but they somehow sneak into non-islamic countries. (Russia, whole EU problem with refugees: France, Germany, Spain etc., India divided into 3+ countries, Iran was not an islamic state initially)
3) once they are into non-islamic countries, they create separate laws and try to break that country too.
Stay strong Israel 🇮🇱
Man this was good I really enjoyed it thanks brother Allen
Unpopular opinion. If you do biblical scholarly work, you'll realise that Lucifer is not his name (it refers to the morning star, Venus. Isaiah in chapter 14 uses the planet Venus as an analogy of the star that shines bright in the morning. The original morning star is Jesus himself).
Satan is not his personable name (he refers to the opposer, Jesus, called Peter "satan"). Same with the devil (the accuser). They are titles. The enemy's name is not revealed in the bible.
The key to understanding this topic is to study the original language or texts in the OT and the NT.
Please do your research. Don't build an expectation to be spoonfed on theological topics. Do your due diligence in everything God-centred. I encourage debate and discussion around this. I'm not dogmatic around this. But the truth needs to be said, with love being the goal.
I commented something similar myself. Even the Angel of the Lord (who is the pre-incarnate Son of God) is said to act as "Satan" in Numbers 22:22, showing that the term "satan" can be used for other entities besides the devil. You need to look into the Hebrew to see this.
However it is also clear in Scripture that the term "Satan" can be what we believers call the devil and refer to him by (and in that way be his name).
Also I looked into the Latin of Revelation 22:16, and whilst Jesus is the "bright morning star", it doesn't say lucifer there. Where it does say lucifer however is in 2 Peter 1:19, where "lucifer" is said to rise in all believers' hearts! Apparently we should all be reading this as Satan rising in our hearts... (smh)
Again very clear that Isaiah 14 isn't about Satan at all, and as you said, it's so important to do your own research in this and actually look at the passages in context.
@@MrOlu109 interesting. Is the Book of Revelation initially written in Latin?
Also agree on the Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Christ. It was mindblowing when I came across that.
@@mutsvaiv No it's written in Greek the same as all of the New Testament. But the word "lucifer" is a borrowed word from Latin, it's not Hebrew. So even though that's the word that we see in the KJV and NKJV of Isaiah 14:12, it's not original to the text.
I was only saying that in the Latin copies of Revelation, they don't use the word "lucifer" in Revelation 22:16. But they do use it in 2 Peter 1:19.
Yes I learnt that our Lord Jesus is the Old Testament Angel of the Lord fairly recently myself. It was also a unanimous belief among the early church fathers.
Have you heard of Sam Shamoun btw? I've been learning from him and he has definitely been gifted by the Spirit to teach the Scriptures. He goes to levels I haven't experienced elsewhere on UA-cam, let alone in church on a Sunday.
What I don’t understand is how this perfect angel can have been found with any iniquities at all, if he was in fact created perfect.
@@tylerknight1515 Perfectly made doesn't mean there is no potential to sin. To not have the potential to sin, means that you cannot choose to sin. But if you cannot choose to sin and do wrong, you also can't choose to love and do right either. You'd just be a mindless robot doing what you've been programmed to do. But God didn't want that.
Instead, God wanted a family of angelic and human creatures who would truly love Him and worship Him in spirit and truth. And so for the sake of love, He made His creatures perfectly but with the potential to choose Him or not choose Him freely. And that means the potential to sin.
I got my mug, Got Truth, yesterday. It is awesome. Very good quality and shipment packaging was great. TY
Thank you brother Parr. And thank you for your humble spirit, please do not let some UA-cam creators get your spirit down, you're doing a great work for the Lord.
Thank you Allen for teaching us and thank you God for your living word and your Holy Spirit helper!
That was so well explained and illustrated. Thank you
Awesome topic to discuss on Halloween Allen! Well done!
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”
-ISAIAH chapter 45 verse 7 (ISAIAH 45:7) HOLY BIBLE KJV
What an explanation. I wrote down the bible references that you mentioned here. Thank you for your efforts to teach us.
Perfect !!!! We just got 2 new foster boys. The 11 year old just asked me this exact question. Thanks for detailed video. God knows question even before we ask.
I haven’t finished the video yet but the explanation in the first 2 minutes is amazing! Gonna watch the whole thing!
Thank you for sharing an insight about Satan and directing it to various Scriptures 🙏
Thank you for explaining the Word. God bless you.
Very good video… so much good information! I will go back and watch it again.
Thank you Allen for this message.
Thanks for your content, it’s informative and helpful in my growth as a believer.
Love how you pull scripture together.
I haven't been able to watch consistently however when I do I am always blessed. Thank you for teaching on this platform. Good stuff. God bless you and your family and continue to use you in this way.
I Really Love To Hear this Man, Talk!! He Is a very Excellent Teacher
This was a very good video and a detailed yet easy to understand description of the origin of Satan. Very important that we use scripture to back up any opinion. Thank you for using scripture and not your opinion. Love and learn from your teachings.
That was awesome! Great breakdown.. you made it easy for me to grasp your points.. got me onboard with a subscription.. you are definetly top brass in God's army.. good stuff...
An excellent breakdown with an on-track follow up. Stay true to The Word in full context and you can never go wrong.
Yehovah Bless and Keep You, -J.
Great Video. I learned so much. I had to watch it twice, and I'm gonna watch it one more time tonight, and take notes, I've never taken notes.
Great wisdom at the end of this video 💯
This was beautiful thank you for exposing the enemy. I pray many people got prayer point from this video, I hope they can break free from control and manipulation of the 200 million demons and spirits that want to keep us from our True Father Yahuah. Love you all and be blessed.
Excellent. Thank you Mr. Parr for sharing.
Pastor Parr, may the grace of God be upon you and may your ministry continue to be blessed. In Jesus’ name. Will you please do a pod cast on book of Ezekiel? Thank you. God bless you and your beautiful family 💖
Thank you Brother Allen, this is an extremely informative video. Since I thought about life and God's creation as a whole, including angels and demons, Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel, and the devil or satan, after I became a Christian in 1989, I believed it to be the way you explained. However, I could never tell anybody WHY I believed it and certainly did not have the theological knowledge to explain it. This is great! Perhaps you should do a series on angels, seraphim, serabim, cherubs, and what those words mean, and what the roles of the different beings are, what it means in our lives, and what our position is in relation to them before God. That would be something I would enjoy tremendously.
awesome video. thank you. freezes at 12:12 for a sec, but thank you for teaching in depth and breaking it down.
Awesome teachings. Thank you Pastor and God Bless
This was very educational. Thank you. I love your channel.
Well explained

This is great! My son just asked me this question and I can’t wait to show him cuz I didn’t even know 😅
Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for this kind of explanation for ages
