'I met the devil, but it was Grace that saved my life.'
The Devil is well documented in religious literature among psychologists, theatrical writers and comic writers alike. They all hold their own interpretations of the Bible both in the Old and New Testaments. And these interpretations may bear a slight influence in the knowledge of a time, and I too will add my own interpretation of the Devil.
The Bible refers to God's creation of angels, but somehow the angel made itself evil and turned against God before he and his gang of angels were cast from heaven. The fallen angels then became known as the Devil, among other names such as Demon, Lucifer, and Satan in the super phenomena or myths in ancient legends, but the accuser and adversary of our humanity.
You will notice some of those interpretations in films such as the Exorcist are a load of rubbish. The animations and cartoons are psychological creations appealing to the senses to catch an audience for a profit. If you follow the interpretation and find a religious person who uses his theological knowledge as opportunity for a profit, I think that is a fallen angel turning against God.
'I saw Satan like lightning from heaven' - Luke 10:18. 'How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who did rise in the morning?' - Isaiah 14:12. Interpretations of super phenomenal forces of time are recorded in metaphors and patterns, in shades and light among colours of abstracts in the Arts. It is written in poetry and in song and calculated in scientific codes such as E=MC2. It is the conscious awareness of a super phenomenon materialised in motifs of communication and dialogue of a time.
The personification of the devil is the accuser and adversary of God. Well, the devil works against God by being adversary and accuser of believers or those who do good against evil. Now practically, have you or anyone seen the devil, Satan, dragons, or some other abstracts accusing a good person like they do in the movies? No, only humans accuse and blame other humans. It must follow therefore that the devil is among humans and could be very closed to you!
The passage relates the devil as originally an angel who saw the glory of God and wanted to become Him taking over heaven. The symbolic role of angel is to sing praise and worship of God but some have turned envious of God. Angels therefore must have possessed knowledge of God and human to be both super and natural. This angel phenomenon is a super natural force consciously recognised by human super-sense awareness interpreted and perceived in the arts and science.
A person characterised by envy who has knowledge of good and some authority, now becoming the adversary and accuser of God's people. If we look around our homes, our work, church, clubs etc, can you identify the devil? While we often get unprecedented attacks on our character, or framed and accused of things we haven't done, it's not as straight forward as identifying someone who may be suffering from a form of mental illness.
In here it goes back to the super sense awareness. When some people see an orange they taste cool juice, and when others see a snake they experience fear; when the fear is experienced the awareness is focused on the super sense while functioning reason is normally overtaken. This phenomenon is explained in abstracts and forces of natural surroundings. When feelings are tuned into the intuitive and conscience awareness, one naturally does the right thing as normal. But if one is not strong enough to counter emotional provocations and desires, s/he might react on instincts.
The person of authority is the one who is closed by that you have trusted and you may have opened your heart to that you might become vulnerable should s/he exploit you. S/he has some knowledge about you. Now if anything should happen in the environment that may upset your emotions unexpectedly, your super sense awareness is initiated and the radar is offset to pick up all sorts of information in your feelings and senses. You are at your most vulnerable and if your instincts are in control you might misinterpret imageries of communication. A person who knows you might also feed you with certain imageries. The feelings and senses alone in their instinctual functions cannot make sense or stabilise your reality under desperate conditions and you could be in a cause of self destruction.
If you watch TV and switch into a Devil channel, all you get is accusations and adverse imageries. Someone could be making that channel available in your super sense awareness at a time of your most need. And who put the image in your mind is the devil.
There are many reasons why you become a target or envious attacks as the devil dislikes good people or those doing good works of God. And the devil is a lot closer to you than you know. But I have designed a method to counter the evil attacks on the sub conscience by training our feelings and senses to elevate to the intuitive level of conscience awareness in order to be safe and do the right thing. Oh, the devil could be in your doctor's surgery, the classroom, in the church, in the home, mainly the media, the neighbour; it's a super natural force. S/she could be wearing black trousers, a tie, and saying all the nice things. It's not a monster or a dragon or the exorcist crap. Funny how should a priest attempt to kick the devil's butt by a rational argument? 'You don't exist devil so buzz off!' Well, the vulnerable is exploited by all sorts of subjective rubbish the owner is subjected to the devil's cast. But if you have an objective solid principle in the foundation of your ID, I'm telling you now the devil is scared of you.
In the same way you can interpret abstracts and codes as well as reading paintings and metaphors. The parable of the fall of Babylon can be interpreted the same way. The great city symbolises a great civilisation that became corrupt when overwhelmed by secular materialism. It is only when the people returned to rebuild the foundation upon the solid principle that saved the city. Otherwise, don't look back; Sodom..!
