Apostle Adventures
And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven: ‘Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God, day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb…Therefore rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the Earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time’. (Revelation 12:7-12, excerpts)
Following this War of Worlds, Satan and his followers were cast down to Earth. For millennia, the objective of the angels who fell to Earth has been the corruption, deception, exploitation, and ultimately, the destruction of God’s creations called human begins. Although in certain ancient civilizations, while posing as earth gods, it may appear that they were at times, beneficent to those over whom they ruled, that beneficence was solely for the purpose of destroying mankind in the following ways: First, they seduced humans away from God; Second, they coerced them to commit evil acts against themselves and against one another; Third, they ruined them financially, physically, and mentally; and Finally, they either killed them outright or over time with diseases, or drove them to suicide.
Scripture
During Jesus’ time on Earth, the exorcising of demons involved a very complex procedure. The body of the possessed had to be rendered, by a special process, uninhabitable and undesirable by the fallen angels, or demons -- AKA today’s “aliens”. In other words, there was an antidote for demon possession that Jesus and his disciples understood how to administer, but only with the help of their power source -- the Holy Spirit. In the cases where physical abnormalities had resulted from demon possession, the devils that caused the diseases and/or disorders were first, “rebuked” by Jesus’ authority over them, to leave the body. Then, by way of nanoscience, all damaged and decomposed cells and organs were completely restored to a healthy state. *
Although numerous cases of demon possession have been noted throughout the New Testament, the case of the boy who was possessed by a demon, as is recorded in the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, stands out from the rest (Matthew 17: 14-18). The boy’s father brought him to Jesus and while kneeling, begged Jesus to heal his son who was a “lunatic, and sore vexed.” The father explained that the boy “falleth into the fire and oft into the water”; he foamed [at the mouth] gnashed his teeth, “pineth away,” cried out suddenly, and bruised himself. Jesus cleansed this boy of a demon after his disciples had tried and failed. The boy displayed symptoms similar to those displayed by children of today (mostly boys) who have disorders that have been labeled epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism.
Another case of demon possession of a child is written in Mark 7:26 (Cf. Matthew 15:22-28). A Canaanite woman went to Jesus and told him that her daughter was “grievously vexed with a devil.” She then begged Jesus to “have mercy” on her and “to call forth the devil out of her daughter.” At first Jesus tested her with discouraging words, but she contended with him and continued to believe in him. Because of her faith, from a distance -- without even going to where the daughter was -- Jesus cast the demon out.
When Solomon, -- Son of David-- reigned in Jerusalem, on God’s authority he subdued “all the spirits of the air, of the Earth, and those under the Earth” then, summoned up the demons of Hell that disguised themselves as Earth gods. Solomon then discovered the various morphs and activities of each. Since they were “legions” and thereby far too numerous to be recounted here, only a few examples of Solomon’s encounters with them are provided. Two of those encounters are listed here:
Onoskelis: Beelzeboul went off and showed me Onoskelis who had a very beautiful form. Her body was that of a woman with a fair complexion, but her legs were those of a mule…she responded…‘I am a spirit which has been made into a body. I recline in a den on Earth. I make my home in caves. However, I have a many-sided character. Sometimes I strangle men; sometimes I pervert them from their true natures. Most of the time, my habitats are cliffs, caves, and ravines. Frequently, I also associate with men who think of me as a woman, especially with those whose skin is honey-colored, for we are the same constellation. It is also true that they worship my star secretly and openly. They do not know they deceive themselves and excite me to be an evildoer all the more. For they want to obtain gold by remembering me, but I grant little to those who seriously worship me.’ (Testament of Solomon, 4:1-7)
Asmodeus: You [Solomon] are the son of a man, but although I was born of a human mother, I am the son of an angel…My constellation is like an animal which reclines in its den in heaven; some men call me the Great Bear, but other the Offspring of a Dragon…This glory of yours is temporary. You have us to torture for a little while; then we shall disperse among human beings again with the result that we shall be worshiped as gods…I cause the wickedness of men to spread throughout the world. I am always hatching plots against newlyweds; I mar the beauty of virgins and cause their hearts to grow cold…I spread madness about women through the stars, and I have often committed a rash of murders [serial killings]. (Ibid 5:7-8)
Evidence
Presently, this demon Asmodeus possesses men – the serial and rampage killers – to do his dirty work for him. The number of serial and rampage killers active since the 19th century is greater than that of any other time in recorded history. Several modern-day serial killers (including Ted Bundy, “Son of Sam”, Richard Ramirez, and Dennis Rader) have openly admitted that an “entity”, or a “monster”, entered their heads/minds and forced them to commit the murders. As Sedrach pointed out during his conversation with God, “He [the devil] enters the hearts of men like a smoke and teaches them all kinds of sin.” (Apocalypse of Sedrach, 5:6)
Satan’s Little Helpers
When Ted Bundy confessed to some of the murders attributed to him, he spoke using the third-person point of view and described to detectives the murders that “he” – “the entity inside” – committed rather than what Ted Bundy did. More recently, days before one serial murderer embarked on a one-day killing spree in New Mexico, he confessed to his family that when he looked in the mirror, he could see somebody else’s face staring back at him instead of his own, and that “people” were following him and talking to him. However, some who are not serial killers have also declared openly that when they murdered, they heard the voices of “demons” that told them to do it, with “Butch” DeFoe being numbered among them. Or they describe how, when the murders were being committed, they were either sleepwalking or that they were outside their bodies watching themselves commit the crimes.
Adults who display these symptoms are usually diagnosed as being either schizophrenic or as having Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). One common trait of both disorders is that those who suffer from either disorder have no sympathy towards other human beings. In February 2012, T.J. Lane shot to death, three students at Chardon High School in Ohio, and wounded three others. When he declared that he did not know why he shot the students, he was found to be suffering from “fantasies, hallucinations and psychoses.” During his trial, he not only showed no remorse for his actions, but he openly mocked the relatives of his victims with filthy, demonic comments.
Because Satan and his demons realize that their time is swiftly running out, they have become even more active in their attacks upon mankind, particularly on females, the bringers and nurturers of human life. During the Amish school shooting of 2006, the murderer separated the boys from the girls and killed only the girls. Surrounding the December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, 18 of the 27 victims were females. Likewise, in the cases of “Jack the Ripper”, Dennis Rader, Ted Bundy, the “Green River Killer” and many others, most of the murdered victims were females.
Science
Even today, Satan and his devils continue to possess children also. Those who have been diagnosed as having Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), or as being schizophrenic and/or autistic, are indeed possessed with devils. These children tell their parents and their doctors that not only do they “see people” that others cannot see, but that they hear voices in their heads which tell them to do terrible things, particularly to hurt other people. By way of brain imaging procedures, researchers have determined the impact that these so-called “diseases” have on the human brain, but they have been unable to discover the pathology of these disorders, meaning, what causes them.
Scripture
The parents of such children who are afflicted with demons have either denied Christ as being the son of God, and/or have refused to accept Christ into their lives. Nonetheless, if they want their children to be healed, they are well advised to do just as that father and mother of the Bible did: They must forsake mere “tradition” (Matthew 15: 1-9) and any other non-Christian belief and seek Jesus’ help in casting out the devil(s) from their children. In the case of the boy from whom Jesus cast out the demon, the disciples asked Jesus why “they could not cure him [the boy].” “And he [Jesus] said unto them, ‘Because of your unbelief’” (Matthew 17:20).
