A sheep in wolf's clothing.
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
(1 Peter 4:6) KJV

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
(Ephesians 4:9-10) KJV
Who descended and what are the lower parts of the Earth? Fortunately this isn’t a mystery and we’ve already done the work needed to resolve both issues.

(1 Peter 5:8) KJV
Something about which there is considerable confusion is the issue of: where is Satan? A lot of people seem to think that’s he’s DJing a wild party in hell right now but that’s not the case.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(Romans 1:28) KJV
It’s a case of, “be careful what you wish for.” When the core of the Earth melted due to the intense pressure of gravity within atoms and the heat generated from their spontaneous decay, it provided a perfect environment for the storage of rebellious angels.

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(Hebrews 1:3) KJV
With the fall of man the power of God to maintain atomic nuclei in a stable state was withdrawn somewhat. God’s power didn’t diminish, but God, according to his will and plan, allowed atomic nuclei to decay.

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
(1 Peter 3:19-20) KJV
The dispensation of conscience, the time immediately after the fall of man when Adam and Eve were banished from the garden of Eden, we’ve also deduced was the first purification of heaven.

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
(Jude 1:6) NKJV
What could the everlasting chains under darkness be? Is this a metaphor? Is this designed to express the idea of a spiritual concept? Is this accurate physics?

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
(Luke 10:18) KJV
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
(Revelation 12:13) KJV
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. The process of purification has several phases, in the Bible these are called dispensations.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
(Revelation 12:9, 12) KJV
When God created Adam he said this about the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: “… you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” However, as we know, when Adam ate the fruit he didn’t immediately drop dead. Adam was cursed and he began dying, God’s plan was in effect, but the outward appearance was that nothing had happened.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
(Malachi 3:10) NKJV
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?
