The following comment was received in response to the
mail 1AD.02.05.11 Where are we now?
"I assumed that it would be Yahshua who would cast the devil into
the pit to be bound."
This is a widely held understanding, however, please consider the
following:
Matthew
28:18-20
18 And Yahshua came and spoke to them, saying,
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Amen. (NKJ)
Yahshua died amongst other things to
regain the authority on the earth that Adam lost.
Having regained the authority he
immediately delegated it to his disciples in whose footsteps we follow IF we are
found faithful.
Hebrews 10:12-13
12 But this Man [Yahshua], after He
had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand
of Yah, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His
footstool. (NKJ)
Yahshua is seated at the right hand of Yah UNTIL ALL his enemies including
Satan have been made his footstool.
In other words, ALL the authority that
Yahshua gained he DELEGATED TO US!!
Accordingly the prayer / instruction to
send Satan to the Pit MUST be given by a son of Adam (a male human being) alive
on earth at the time.
Note that the power and authority that
will enable human beings to overcome to the end of this age and to be sanctified
and in a position legally in the Court of Heaven to issue the instruction to
send Satan to the Pit comes through the "Christ" = Christos = the Anointing of
the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah [the Father] in and upon those believers who
have been filled with and anointed with and immersed in the Set-Apart Holy
Spirit of Yah to the point where they become vessels for honour.
In order to reach this point any believer
who ASPIRES to be found worthy must recognize his total inability to accomplish
ANYTHING in his own strength and YIELD HIMSELF TOTALLY to the Set-Apart Holy
Spirit of Yah within and upon him in order that Yah may do the work THROUGH the
anointed believer in the SAME WAY that Yah worked through Yahshua after he was
immersed in and CONTROLLED by the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah after immersion
in the Jordan.
Hope this helps
Warm regards and blessings
