2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Here's one thing that most people don't know....
Unlike Jesus, the devil can ONLY BE IN ONE PLACE AT TIME... But one of satan's many tricks..... he gives people HABITS. The devil thinks once he has somebody hooked on drugs, alcohol, porn, forincation that he doesn't have to worry about that person going to church or getting saved cause the devil tells them that it's gonna be too hard to give up their HABIT.
The devil HAS NO IDEA when time is going to end.
And here is historic proof.
Throughout time, certain people have been labeled 'the antichrist'. Because the devil grooms people to be the antichrist when time does end.
Without using any names... Military leaders/Dictators, politicians, warlords, mass murderers... anybody the devil thinks will follow his orders to make other people follow him, believeing his teachings (LIES).
The devil knows every bible verse, book, chapter.... frontwards and backwards. The devil knows more about the bible than the most knowledgeable and schooled theologians.
And the devil know's it's all true... every verse, book and chapter. The devil even knows the maps in the back are true.
And to me, thats the best part..... the devil knows what his eternal fate is. And satan is dreading going to hell more than anybody.
Just like any other miserable person who can't get their way anymore, they try to drag as many people down with them as possible. Excatly what the devil wants to happen. The devil doesn't want to go to hell alone. That's why the devil is known as "The Father of Lies."
"It's ok to get cheat on your wife this one time... you really think God expects you to only be with one woman for the rest of your life....?"
The devil has told thousands upon thousands of people that they have plenty of TIME to get their lifes straight with Jesus.
Somebody will be under conviction.... their heart's thumping out of their chest, their breathing at 500 miles per hour, they know Jesus is dealing with their heart. And the devil is racing back and forth between people all around the world (I would actually like to see the devil run around on a Sunday morning) telling them "Not now" "You can do it tomorrow" "Everybody's gonna laugh at you if you go up there now."
99.99% of every devil portrayal I've ever seen shows the devil as a monsterous figure with red skin... 2 horns sticking out of his head with a tail and a pitchfork. With a very demonic face, eyes and a smile not of this world.
However, that is not an accurate discreption. Because THAT IS NOT PLEASENT to behold.
It's easy to say "I don't believe in God, Jesus, life after death... Heaven or Hell doesn't exist". And that's your right as a free minded person... You can believe whatever you want.
There are so many roads to hell. But only one road to Heaven.
A rolling stone gathers no moss brother Pulp...have a blessed Good Friday and to our Father in Heaven be all the glory :Thumbs:
The devil tells people that "Being a good person" or "doing the right thing" is enough. And satan wants people to believe that is what Jesus wants.
The Road.... To Hell.... Is Paved.... With Good Intentions.
You can be on every church board, Donate your life savings to the new buliding fund, Come to chruch every Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night.... Come to every special service and go to hell just like the biggest drug user the world has ever seen.
Being a good person or doing the right thing Will Not get any person in to Heaven.
I'm not sure why I'm posting about satan on Good Friday....
But somebody needs to read this. I didn't wake up and wanna talk about the devil on BGR... but when Jesus puts something on you, I've learned you'd better do it.
Let me tell you this my beloved..... When you get saved, you may be addicted to something or have something your not sure you can fully give up. But let me tell you on the authority of Jesus........ He'll take away for Want To, He'll take away your Need To and He'll take away your Have To. And He'll replace it with something 1000X better than what you gave up.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Here is what Jesus will do if you let him.....
My grandfather was 67 when he got saved in March of 2000.... I was 15.
He had drunk one to two twelve packs of beer every night for as long as I can remember. He would start around 4 every evening and drink til he passed out.
The night he got saved, he came home, poured every can of beer he had down the drain.... and hasn't drank any type of alcohol since.
In 2011, he was selected as a Deacon in our church.
Folks, thats not because my grandpa decided to give up alcohol all of a sudden..... it's because Jesus took the desire away when he got saved.
No matter what you've think you can't let go of.... Jesus has something that will make you forget all about what is holding you down. He's done it before and He will do it again if you let Him.
Thanks for sharing Pulp Fiction.

1John 2:18
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Thessalonians 2:1-4
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from usâwhether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letterâasserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Donât let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in Godâs temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Daniel 12:10
Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
1 John 4:3
But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
John 14:1-3
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." - John 14:1-3 (NIV)
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord
With that said, I have heard many many different stories about a Rapture, Tribulation and 1000 year reign from God in which satan is chained?. Anyone care to explain a little more. From what i have gathered.
The rapture occurs and Christians are safe from the 7 years(tribulation?) of hell on earth from which the Anti Christ comes into power. At the end of the 7 years God himself returns to conquer satan? Just a quick summary
Then
Revelation 20:1-3
And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne o
