Statement # 1(From The Cradle, The Cross, and The Crown Chapter 20, Loc 25622 of 28382, 1st Paragraph)
“Overwhelmed, John fell at Jesus’ feet as though dead.” This statement really stood out to me because no one can stand in Jesus’ presence. This is an awesome display of the anointing. Just like Paul on the road to Damascus, John fell down in the presence of Jesus. I can only imagine what it was like to be in the presence of Jesus. This really encourages me to continue on with the good fight of faith and one day all believers will get a chance to see Him face-to-face.

“According to the author of Revelation, ultimately Satan himself stands behind the forces conspiring against Christians.” Satan is the author of confusion and he tries to makes it hard for Christians.

Why hast Thou come now to hinder us? For Thou hast come to hinder us, and Thou knowest that... We are working not with Thee but with him [Satan]... We took from him what Thou didst reject with scorn, that last gift he offered Thee, showing Thee all the kingdoms of the earth. We took from him Rome and the sword of Caesar, and proclaimed ourselves sole rulers of the earth... We shall triumph and shall be Caesars, and then we shall plan the universal happiness of

The Satan was able to retain his strong influence over the population due to the immutable presence of evil in the world and the strong need to separate that evil from God as well as to explain the presence of evil in a cosmos supposedly created by a benevolent God. A look at the roots of the figure of Satan can explain its lasting persistence. In simpler words, the figure of Satan is the scapegoat of Christianity, the guy we blame when something goes wrong, the person we say he made us do it when we are in trouble and the one we associate all the people we do not trust, or simply dislike, to. The Devil is the guy we love to hate. The need for a scapegoat is strong and will always be present as long as evil persists as well; it is a symbiotic relationship that cannot be broken unless Christianity is replaced by a new religion providing a satisfying alternative to the role of the
