Lucifer exalts himself above God but is cut down to hell.

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!” Isaiah 14:12

Revelation 12 explains how Lucifer was thrown down to earth and makes it his business to bring to extinction the births born of Jesus Christ. Lucifer is the name of Satan before his fall from Heaven.

The nations are weakened as Lucifer/Satan seduces governments and people around the world to serve his global government of the beast. They are seduced away from belief in God. With seduction, the nations disregard any need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and they are seduced to make a mockery of the Holy Spirit. Satan’s seduction pulls people away from the life of Holiness.

Through the carnal nature, the nations are weakened as the world slips into lawlessness, destruction, violence, pandemics, global warming. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9, and eventually the world slips into the Battle of Armageddon the Sixth Plague. The global government of the beast (United Nations) is destroyed by the brightness of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8

“For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” Isaiah 14:13-14

Those two verses above summarize 2 Thessalonians perfectly. 1) Sitting on the “mount of congregation” represents sitting within the masses of people in every city around the world by the thing forming their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. 2) Ascending “…above the heights of the clouds” refers to Ezekiel 1 vision of the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites. 3)To be “like the “Most High” and exalting self “…above the stars of God” refers to exalting self above God and sitting in the temple of God, our body, as if it is God, “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

“Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.” Isaiah 14:15

The power center of the beast is going to be plunged into darkness as described in Revelation 16:10-11 in the Fifth Plague. That will render Satan’s global government of the beast powerless, and he will be brought down to hell. Global warming is instrumental in rendering the power center of the beast powerless as global warming is the Fourth Plague.

“Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?’” Isaiah 14:16-17

Not “opening the house of his prisoners” refers to keeping the goodness, mercy, and grace of God locked away. That leads to the destruction of cities around the world and making the planet a wilderness. It’s a wilderness because people are not able to find a way out of sin, lawlessness, carnal seduction, and spiritual wickedness. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is locked out of the global culture of the beast and people find it extremely difficult to receive Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit and life of Holiness is made scarce. Because of that prison, the world collapses into chaos. In its chaos, the words go out, “…is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms…”.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
‘I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.’
