“The Antichrist is killed in the midst of the week, and when
a man dies his soul goes to hell,” explains Jordan. “This beast out of the
bottomless pit comes up and inhabits his body and he literally becomes ‘Satan
incarnate.’ There’s an angel who’s king over the bottomless pit in Revelations
9, so there’s a lot of weird stuff going to happen.
“The Antichrist is described as ‘the beast who ascends out
of the bottomless pit.’ That takes place in the midst of the 70th week
when he’s killed. If a man dies, he’s dead. Your soul dies and goes to hell and
you don’t get out of hell and come back.
“Some people say, ‘Well, if Judas died and went to hell, he
couldn’t have gotten out,’ but his body’s laying there. People don’t see what’s
going on in the spirit world.
“This beast animates
that body and so you have all these shows today about vampires and the walking
dead. There’s this fascination with all that kind of stuff because that’s part
of the mythology of man’s mind; it’s part of what’s there because the creative genius
of unsaved people is satanically inspired.
“And if I want to
prepare the world to worship me, what am I going to do? I’d take all the young
people in the world and I’d teach them this is normal, common, ordinary kind of
stuff.
“Painted bodies and pierced ears--where’d that come from?
Men were wearing earrings back when Aaron crafted the molten calf. They learned
to do that from worshipping the gods of Egypt.
“In Leviticus 19, God tells Israel, ‘Don’t paint your bodies.’
Why? Because the heathen painted their bodies with pagan symbols and signs.
That’s what all that stuff is.

“The same kind of
government activity on earth, Paul says it’s the same structures up in heaven,
you just don’t see them. They’re real, they’re organized and they’ve been
usurped. They’ve got an enemy who’s taken it over.
“Get in your mind, these positions are real. ‘Thrones,
dominions, principalities, powers.’ Paul uses the exact same terminology to
describe them in the heavens, but you can’t see them because you don’t live up
there. But you know they’re there because he uses the same terms for both
realms. They’re just as real up there as they are down here.
“The government in the heavens is organized. Angels aren’t
just flying around in the heavens, running into each other; they’ve got jobs,
structure, functions just like people down here do. You have government down
here or you have anarchy. As soon as you have anarchy somebody comes along and
puts some control on it because life won’t work with anarchy.
“In Daniel 10, Gabriel’s talking to Daniel about how, ‘I’ve
been coming for 21 days but the principalities up there stopped me. I got to
the roadblock, I didn’t have my visa papers right and I couldn’t get across.’
“He asked, ‘What you’d do at the border crossing?’ Gabriel
said, ‘I had to send back to the Lord and He sent Michael down with some
instructions. That’s how you get across the border down here.’

“The whole purpose of the satanic rebellion is he wants to
be like the most high, the possessor of all authority in the heavens and earth.
He wants to take over that governmental structure so Satan has come along and
become ‘the god of this world’; the prince, the ruling authority, the prince of
the power of the air and the prince the power of earth.
“God has a purpose to restore everything; His reconciliation
plan. Col. 1:18, ‘And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence.’
“He’s got a plan in prophecy to head all the government of
earth with his agency, the nation of Israel.
Psalms 115:15-16 says, ‘[15] Ye are blessed of the
LORD which made heaven and earth.
[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.’
[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.’
“Where’s man’s dominion? In the earth. Man’s made out of the
dirt of the earth and God’s going to use that mud man to reclaim the earth. But
there’s no plan in prophecy to reclaim the heavens.
“Colossians 1:19 says, ‘For it pleased the Father that in
him should all fulness dwell.’ Everything that’s going to fill up
everything in the earth and in the heavens is in Christ. ‘And, having made
peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.’
“When he says Jesus Christ’s going to reconcile all things
to Himself, somebody says, ‘See, even the devil’s going to get saved.’ The
verse didn’t say ‘saved.’ It said ‘reconciled’ and those two words are
different. You know how they’re different? One is spelled with a ‘s’ and the
other with a ‘r.’
“What things does he say are going to be reconciled? All
those positions that have been usurped are going to be restored back under the
headship of Jesus Christ.
“The purpose of the Body of Christ is so He would have an
agency in ‘the ages to come’ in order to accomplish that purpose in the heavens.
He’s going to do it in the earth through the nation Israel and in the heavens
through the Body of Christ.
“Ephesians 1:10 says, ‘That in the dispensation of the
fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both
which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.’ Jesus Christ is going
to be the head of all that. It’s a headship issue.”
