Devils' Spawn

Product Information

We know Jesus would say “love your neighbour as yourself and Matthew 5:44 “love your enemies”, but what does this mean in practice? If we are not to be influenced or led by them? If we are to avoid the wheat being corrupted by the weed?

But there is a problem: How can we live with them? How can we share a church with them? What if they are in leadership in our church? What if their problem is not just squeaky boots or an out of tune voice but rather what if we believe that the things they say and do are in actual opposition to a greater or lesser degree to what we believe is the gospel? Jesus seems to contemplate, in this passage, the possibility that true disciples might be tempted to be led astray by the weeds – in verse 41 – those who are destroyed at the end of time are not only those who are evildoers (which is what we would expect) but then also up for destruction are: ‘all causes of sin’ those who cause others to sin – a reference to leadership perhaps.Malebolgia is respected and feared as one of the rulers of Hell, and thus the de facto grandmaster of Hell. His powers include Necro Energies like raising the dead, matter manipulation, super strength, recuperative abilities, and abilities to morph and induce hallucinations. His standing in Hell's hierarchy gives him vast power while in the 8th Sphere. His mastery of necroplasm gives him the exclusive ability to create Hellspawn and during his rule, he creates an army larger and more powerful than anything Heaven or he himself could handle. Inthe days leading up toSaturday's opposition march, theEurasian union called upon its supporters totake tothe streets todefy them: "On Sept. 15, thedevil's spawn will crawl out onthe streets. Eurasians will go out with crosses, daggers andsilver bullets tostop hell." Secondly we need to be fair what they are actually saying?Because it may not be the same thing that you have heard that they are saying or was told to you at a dinner party or a gossip mentioned on a dog walk.

You may want to lean heavily on those neighbours. Make his mind flit to and fro between an expression like ‘the body of Christ’ and the actual faces in the next pew… Thirdly, look at their fruit. Are they showing the fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5: love joy peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self control? How are they spending their money and their time? What are their priorities? Are these consistent with what we know of Jesus? What we know of God, from studying the Bible are they trying to follow Jesus’ priorities for their lives? In this extract the senior devil Screwtape is advising the junior devil Wormwood how to tempt his patient into turning away from Christianity Firstly, Focus on God. We need to focus on God, really getting to know him through Jesus – by reading the Bible – particularly the New Testament; we need to be really familiar with the Bible if we are to fight off the corrosive influence of the weeds amongst us. And the righteous will find themselves like Wormwood’s patient, as Screwtape continues: ‘Then he saw Him. This animal this thing begotten in a bed could look on Him. What is blinding suffocating fire to you Wormwood is now cool light to him, is clarity itself and wears the form of a man….’We must be rigorous comparing what they are saying and what they are doing to the model Jesus sets in Scripture and the character of God revealed in the Bible. So, the singer is ready to utilize all the willpower and courage. He is ready to give the devil whatever it needs just so that he is able to stay faithful to God. What does the chorus mean

And very importantly how do we know if we are the wheat or the weed ourselves? How do we know who we should allow to influence us or lead us?Thought to be the equivalent of Satan in the Bible, he is responsible for the creation of Spawn. It is eventually revealed that Malebolgia is one of Hell's many rulers, a being from the "Eighth Circle of Hell" who has been around for approximately 70,000 years, forming an army in his war against Heaven and God. It has been noted that Malebolgia is constantly at war with the rulers of the other spheres of Hell, as well as at odds with Mammon. Perhaps thekey tounderstanding Putin's speech can be found ina recent television program byArkady Mamontov, "Provocateurs. Part Two," aired onRossia 1 state television aday before Putin spoke inKrasnodar. Mamontov, who has already established himself as apolitically sensational filmmaker, revealed inhis latest program that theUnited States has developed aplan forrevolution inRussia. Thefoot soldiers inthis revolution are members ofthe punk-performance group Pussy Riot. We were told that themain organizer ofthe revolution, including thePussy Riot stunts, is billionaire Boris Berezovsky, who is pulling therevolutionary strings fromhis self-exile inLondon. Welcome to1598. Inthis year, King Henry IV ofFrance proclaimed theEdict ofNantes, which regulated relations between thecountry's Catholics andProtestants andput anend toa religious war that had been raging fordecades. Four centuries later, inRussia, inSeptember 2012, billionaire andformer presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov proposed afederal religious code toprevent anall-out religious war.

In recent months, therelationship between citizens andthe state andchurch has already led toa schism insociety that threatens Russian culture," Prokhorov wrote ina comment published inKommersant onSept. 12. He noted that despite thesecular government clause inthe Constitution, "the majority ofpoliticians, including theleaders ofparties inparliament, prefer toignore what's written there. Cozying up tothe church … undermines thebasic principles ofthe country's supreme governing document andcreates amultitude ofdangers."Final judgment is God’s task NOT ours and to seek to exercise this task of separation; getting rid of those who don’t suit us: those with poor voices or squeaky boots or, more seriously, who have ideas with which we profoundly disagree or act in a way which we think is disgraceful… getting rid of them is actually classic idolatry. Its us acting as if we are God and supplanting him: we just don’t have the perception and wisdom to see if any particular individual should or should not be excluded now or will or not be excluded at the end of time: therefore we must not exclude them, we have to put up with them; and in Matthew 25:31-46 – the sheep and the goats we find that we will all actually be surprised by who is saved and who is not… But do you know the lyrics’ meaning? The song is about the devil’s crown, which is a metaphor for power. The song is about a person who seems to be in a state of obsession with the devil’s crown, and is willing to do anything to obtain it. The devil’s crown is a bloody one, because it’s earned through violence and bloodshed. The song is about a person who is seduced by the power and violence of the devil’s crown, and willing to do anything to keep it. The lyrics are full of images of death and destruction, and the narrator seems to be in a state of obsession with the devil’s crown. The urge just to drive out people whose character, views or behaviour are not like us or with whom we disagree or which conflict in our view with the gospel, has been a constant struggle in the 2000 years that the church has existed. It seems hard wired into our nature… The ONLY way that we can know the true character of God is by being familiar with the Bible and understanding God’s character as we see it in Jesus Christ and using this as a litmus test of the influences and leadership which affect us. We need to take personal responsibility for this: this is not just a matter for our leaders to discern; we individually have a kingdom calling on our lives; we are here for a purpose set by God. We must not allow ourselves to be led up the garden path by others who have a different agenda; particularly those who don’t have the oily face or squeaking boots but those we find attractive; people we want to please, however impressive we may think they are. And however much we may actually like them
