300 Foxes and a Donkey's Jawbone
This day in July
The history of creation is the working out of the process of purification. Eventually there will be absolute purity in heaven, and there will be only corruption left on Earth. At this time the Earth will be disposed of.
Satan has been depicted as a mastermind who changed the course of history. The reality is, the course of history didn't change, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Satan is a pawn.
It may seem like an odd departure from our discussion of the war in heaven to bring up tithes and offerings, but it may be an important clue. Why a tithe, 10%? What's the significance of this number?
The war in heaven which led to Satan being banished to Earth isn't some terrible mistake that happened. It's the working out of God's will with the eventual goal of a place where he dwells in perpetual light with his people.
The dispensation of conscience, when man was banished from the garden of Eden, included the purification of heaven. This is what Satan unwittingly accomplished with his rebellion and banishment to Earth.
