GOD’S LAST ENEMY:

  DEATH AS A DEMONIC SPIRIT                “…HE       DEATH AS A PHYSICAL EVENT
                                    PUTS AN END
       “…AND THE NAME OF HIM         TO ALL RULE         “AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY
     WHO SAT ON IT WAS DEATH,     AND AUTHORITY                  TEAR FROM THEIR EYES;
 AND HADES FOLLOWED WITH HIM.        AND POWER.
AND POWER WAS GIVEN TO THEM…”                            THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH,
                                         FOR HE              NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING;
                    Rev. 6:8      MUST REIGN TILL                  AND THERE SHALL BE
   “THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE                                         NO MORE PAIN,
                                     HE HAS PUT                 FOR THE FORMER THINGS
     CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.     ALL ENEMIES                  HAVE PASSED AWAY.”
    THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH…”    UNDER HIS FEET.                          Rev. 21:4
                                  THE LAST ENEMY
                  Rev. 20:14        THAT WILL BE
                                      DESTROYED
                                      IS DEATH.”

                                     1 Cor. 15:24-26

As followers of Christ, we need a proper understanding of death. There is more to this subject than
meets the physical eye. It is not just the physical act of death that constitutes death as being God’s
enemy, but it is also the behind-the-scenes activity of the demonic spirit called “Death” which the
Scripture singles out as being God’s last enemy that He will destroy.

The experience of death for a follower of Christ is not the same event as that which awaits those who
reject salvation through Jesus Christ. Outwardly, in the physical realm, death looks to be the very same
experience for believer and unbeliever alike, namely, the physical body dies. Nothing could be further
from the truth. This newsletter is dedicated to revealing the stark contrast between the two.
