The word “devil” (d/ **evil** ) means “liar”.

**THE** devil/liar invented lies, and deceived one-third of the angels of heaven with them, drawing them into his **coup attempt** with his **LIES**. He is also called “the great **red** dragon” and a serpent, because the lies that come out of his mouth burn people and are venomous (lies are **deadly** poisonous to those who believe and repeat them – [Rev. 21:8](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#21_8)).

Isaiah 14:12-17  
14:12 How art thou fallen **from heaven** , O Lucifer, son of the Morning (Star)! [How] art thou cut down to the earth, which didst weaken the nations!  
14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, **I will exalt my throne above the stars of God** : I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the North:  
14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; **I will be like (take the Place of) The Most High.**  
14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down **to hell** (Earth), to the sides of the pit.  
14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the person that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;  
14:17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his **prisoners**?

Revelation 12:3-4  
12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold **a great red dragon** , having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.  
12:4 And his tale (of lies - [John 8:35](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/48john.htm#8_35)) **drew the third part of the “Stars”** ([ch. 9:1](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#9_1)) **of heaven** (into his army), and did (cause them to be) cast **to the Earth** (for their treason against God): and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born (Christ - [Second Coming](https://jahtruth.net/emmau2)).

When someone lies, they are breaking God’s Law ([Exod. 20:16](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/02exod.htm#20_16)) and **channeling the devil** (evil), which enslaves them and others. Only the truth can set you free (King of kings’ Bible - [John 8:23](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/48john.htm#8_23); KJV – John 8:32).

King of kings’ Bible - John 8:25-38 (KJV – John 8:34-47)  
8:25 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, **Whosoever committeth sin is the prisoner of sin**.  
8:26 And the prisoner abideth not in the prison-house for ever (only until The Reaping): [but] the Son Liveth for ever.  
8:27 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  
8:28 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my Word (the Truth) hath no place in you.  
8:29 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father (Lucifer - Satan).  
8:30 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham ([Sura 16:123](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura016.htm/#16_123); [60:4](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura060.htm/#60_4)).  
8:31 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the Truth, which I have heard of God: this did **NOT** Abraham.  
8:32 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.  
8:33 Jesus said unto them, **IF** God **WERE** your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came **from** God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.  
8:34 Why do ye not understand my speech? **[even] because ye cannot hear my Word**.  
8:35 **Ye are of [YOUR] father the devil**, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, **and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him**. When he speaketh a **LIE** , he speaketh of his own: for **he is a liar, and the father (inventor) of it.**  
8:36 And because I tell [you] the Truth, ye believe me not.  
8:37 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I say the Truth, why do ye not believe me?  
8:38 He that is of God heareth God’s Words: **ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.**

Lucifer/Satan/the devil/great red dragon/serpent and his followers **LOST THE WAR** that Lucifer started to overthrow God and Prince Michael, and were cast down **to the Earth** to banish them from heaven.

Revelation 12:7-9  
12:7 And there **was** war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (Lucifer); and the dragon fought and his angels,  
12:8 And prevailed not; **neither was their place found any more in heaven**.  
12:9 And the great dragon **was cast out** , that old serpent, called **the Devil** , and Satan, **which deceiveth the whole world** : he was cast out **to the Earth** , and his angels (you - [Luke 9:55](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/47luke.htm#9_55)) were cast out with him ([Matthew 25:41](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/45matt.htm#25_41)).

The war that began in heaven has continued here on Earth to the present-day, with Lucifer/Satan/Iblis (the devil) continuing to deceive everyone on Earth with his **LIES.** That is why today people are still being duped into lying to, hurting and murdering one another, while destroying the planet we’re supposed to be taking good care of, all of which is against God’s Law. And all of which is to our own detriment.

It should be self-evident from the above, and from our own behavior over the past 6000 years, that the devil (Lucifer/Satan/Iblis) uses human desire, greed, selfishness and temptation to get us to do things we would not otherwise do. And the devil does this by deceiving those listening to him into believing that no one will see what they’re doing and can somehow escape Divine Justice, even though we’ve been warned that every secret thing we do **SHALL** be revealed ([Luke 12:2](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/47luke.htm#12_2)).

It is the devil himself that invented the **LIES** that “demons” visit us from other worlds or dimensions and are allegedly allowed to do whatever they want to us while we are here in human form. This concept finds absolutely no post-flood scriptural support.

The **TRUTH** is this planet (Earth) is a maximum-security prison reform school for the criminally insane, where we were sent to learn how to be good ([Gen. 1:26](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#1_26)). The devil has redefined what the word “demon” means through television, film and his clergy, to try to demonize God, [Prince Michael/Christ](https://gibraltar-messenger.net/jahtruth/who-is-the-great-prince-michael/) and the rest of the angels of heaven (sons of God) who are currently serving as **prison guard**  **s** ( **guard** ian angels).

**The Original “Watchers” and what happened to them**

[King of kings’ Bible – Enoch](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/06enoch.htm) 7 – 10 (fully cross-referenced)  
7:1 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful ([Gen. 6:1-2](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#6_1)).  
7:2 And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other: Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.  
7:3 Then their leader Samyaza said to them; I fear that you may perhaps not be disposed to the performance of this enterprise;  
7:4 And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.  
7:5 But they answered him and said: We all swear;  
7:6 And bind ourselves by mutual oaths, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.  
7:7 Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual oaths. Their whole number was two hundred, who descended upon Ardis, which is the top of Mount Armon.  
7:8 That mountain, therefore, they called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, and bound themselves by mutual oaths.  
7:9 **These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danyal, Azkeel, Sarakuyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them.**  
7:10 Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantation, and the dividing of roots and trees.  
7:11 And they conceiving brought forth giants ([Gen. 6:4-6](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#6_4));  
7:12 **Whose stature was each three hundred cubits** (~450-500 feet tall). These devoured all which the labour of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;  
7:13 So they then turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;  
7:14 And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.  
7:15 Then the Earth reproved the unrighteous (by the climate and diseases).  
8:1 Moreover Azazyel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, made them see that which was behind them and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.  
8:2 Disrespect increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways.  
8:3 Amazarak taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots;  
8:4 Armers taught the solution of pharmacy;  
8:5 Barakayal taught the observers of the stars;  
8:6 Akibeel taught signs;  
8:7 Tamiel taught astronomy;  
8:8 And Asaredel taught the motion of the moon.  
8:9 And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven.  
9:1 Then Michael and Gabriel, Raphael, Suryal, and Uriel, looked down from heaven, and saw the quantity of blood which was shed on Earth, and all the iniquity which was done upon it, and said one to another: It is the voice of their cries;  
9:2 The Earth, deprived of her children, has cried even to the gates of heaven.  
9:3 And now to you, O ye holy ones of heaven, the souls (Beings) of men complain, saying: Bring Judgement to us from The Most High. Then they said to their Lord, the King: Thou art Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings. The Throne of Thy glory is for ever and ever, and for ever and ever is Thy name sanctified and glorified. Thou art blessed and glorified.  
9:4 Thou hast made all things; Thou possessest power over all things; and all things are open and manifest before Thee. Thou beholdest all things, and nothing can be concealed from Thee ([Mark 4:22](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/46mark.htm#4_22)).  
9:5 Thou hast seen what Azazyel has done, how he has taught every species of iniquity upon Earth, and has disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens.  
9:6 Samyaza also has taught sorcery, to whom Thou hast given authority over those who are associated with him. They have gone together to the daughters of men; have lain with them; have become polluted.  
9:7 And have discovered crimes to them.  
9:8 The women furthermore have brought forth giants.  
9:9 Thus has the whole Earth been filled with blood and with iniquity.  
9:10 And now behold the souls (Beings) of those who are “dead” ([Matt. 8:22](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/45matt.htm#8_22)), cry out,  
9:11 And complain even to the gate of heaven.  
9:12 Their groaning ascends; nor can they escape from the unrighteousness which is committed on Earth. Thou knowest all things, before they exist ([Acts 15:18](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/50acts.htm#15_18)).  
9:13 Thou knowest these things, and what has been done by them; yet Thou dost not speak to us.  
9:14 What on account of these things ought we to do to them?  
10:1 Then the Most High, the Great and Holy One spoke;  
10:2 And sent Arsayalalyur to the son of Lamech (Noah)  
10:3 Saying: Say to him in My name; Conceal thyself.  
10:4 Then explain to him the consummation which is about to take place; for all the Earth shall perish; the waters of a deluge shall come over the whole Earth, and all things which are in it shall be destroyed.  
10:5 And now teach him how he may escape, and how his seed may remain in all the Earth ([Gen. 6:11-22](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#6_11)).  
10:6 Again the Lord said to Raphael: **Bind Azazyel hand and foot; cast him into darkness; and opening the desert which is in Dudael, cast him in there.**  
10:7 **Throw upon him hurled and pointed stones** ([Sura 2:24](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura002.htm#2_24)); **covering him with darkness;**  
10:8 **There shall he remain**  **FOR EVER** \*\*; cover his face, that he may not see the Light.\*\*  
10:9 **And in the great Day of Judgement let him be cast into The Fire** ([Rev. 20:10](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#20_10); [Sura 2:24](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura002.htm#2_24)).  
10:10 Restore the Earth, which the angels have corrupted; and announce life to it, that I may revive it.  
10:11 All the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the Watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.  
10:12 All the Earth has been corrupted by the teaching of the work of Azazyel. To him therefore ascribe the whole crime.  
10:13 To Gabriel also the Lord said: Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication; and destroy the children of fornication; **the offspring of the Watchers** , from among men; bring them forth, and send them one against another. **Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for length of days shall**  **NOT**  **be theirs** ([Gen. 6:13](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#6_13)).  
10:14 They shall all entreat thee, but their fathers shall not obtain their wishes concerning them; for they shall hope for eternal Life, and that their sons may live, each of them, five hundred years.  
10:15 **To Michael likewise the Lord said: Go and announce his crime to Samyaza, and to the others who are with him, who have been associated with women, that they might be polluted with their impurity** ([Gen. 3:17](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#3_17); [1 Tim. 2:14](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/621tim.htm#2_14)).  
10:16 **And when**  **ALL**  **their sons shall be slain, when they shall see the destruction of their beloved, BIND THEM FOR SEVENTY GENERATIONS UNDERNEATH THE EARTH, EVEN TO THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, and of consummation, until The Judgement, the effect of which will last**  **FOR EVER** \*\*, be completed.\*\*  
10:17 **Immediately after this shall he, together with them, burn and perish; THEY SHALL BE BOUND UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION OF MANY GENERATIONS.**  
10:18 **Destroy all the souls (Beings) addicted to dalliance, and the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.**  
10:19 Let **every** oppressor perish from the face of the Earth;  
10:20 Let every evil work be destroyed ([Isa. 14:4](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/28isa.htm#14_4)).  
10:21 The Plant of Righteousness and of rectitude appear, and the work of righteousness and rectitude become a blessing.  
10:22 Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight ([Isa. 26:9](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/28isa.htm#26_9)).  
10:23 And then shall all the holy people give thanks, and live until they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and their Sabbaths shall be complete in peace. In those days all the Earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be planted in it ([Ps. 67](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/17psalm.htm#67_1)).  
10:24 In it shall vines be planted; and the vine which shall be planted in it shall yield fruit to excess; every seed, which shall be sown in it, shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives shall produce ten presses of oil ([Mic. 4:3-4](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/26micah.htm#4_3)).  
10:25 Purify the Earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all crime, from all disrespect, and from all the pollution which is committed upon it. Exterminate them from the Earth.  
10:26 Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations shall pay Me divine honours, and bless men; all shall adore Me ([Isa. 33:22](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/28isa.htm#33_22)).  
10:27 The Earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime, from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.

As can be seen from the passage above, there are no more evil “Watchers” preying on mankind today, nor have there been any for the past 4500 years (since the flood). They have **ALL** been bound and are awaiting Judgement Day, when they will all be cast into The Fire. **ALL** of their physical offspring – the “giants” ([Gen. 6:2-6](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/01gen.htm#6_2)) were destroyed, so that the world experienced a **FRESH START** after the flood with the sons of Noah.

“**Demons” (evil spirits) defined in Scripture:**

Enoch 15:8-10  
15:8 Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and **on Earth shall be their habitation**. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits (demons) shall they be upon Earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. **The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon Earth shall be the habitation of TERRESTRIAL spirits, who are born in earth** ([1 Cor. 15:40](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/561cor.htm#15_40)).  
15:9 The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon Earth.  
15:10 They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and those spirits (demons) shall rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction ([Luke 4:33](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/47luke.htm#4_33), [36](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/47luke.htm#4_36); [Matt. 8:28-34](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/45matt.htm#8_28)).

1 Corinthians 15:40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies **TERRESTRIAL** : but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another ([1 Cor. 11:7](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/561cor.htm#11_7)).

Please note well that the **spiritual** influence of the giants shall be **like** clouds. Clouds hover over us, look down upon us and through their rain/influence things grow. In **like** fashion, our filthy rich leaders today rain down upon us oppression, corruption, moral decline, injury and death ([Isa. 3:12](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/28isa.htm#3_12)), with their beast system that devours men ([Ezek. 36:13-15](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/34ezek.htm#36_13); [Rev. 17 – 18](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#17_1)).

Just think about the corporate fictional governments of this world today, and the immeasurable harm they’ve inflicted upon the people, through wars ([Matt. 5:9](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/34ezek.htm#5_9)), vaccines and pharmacy ([Gal. 5:19-21](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/53galat.htm#5_19)).

Interestingly, Jesus made it clear that there are more than one kind of demon-  
_ **"Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.** _

_ **Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”** _

_**Jesus replied ‘this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matt 17: 15-21)**_

Or, alternatively, that some demons (evil spirits/souls) were more difficult to cast out than others, being closer to Satan (the devil/liar).

Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are NOT, **but [are] the synagogue of Satan.**

One note here : Devil derives from the greek word Διάβολος.

The Latin people took it and converted it to Diab(o)lo.

The Saxons made it Teufel.

And the Anglo-Saxons gave it its current form,Devil.

In greek language it doesn’t mean exactly _liar_. It has a broader meaning,like _the one who corrupts_ or, _the one who divides_.

King of kings’ Bible - John 8:35-36 (KJV - 8:4445)  
8:35 Ye are of [YOUR] father **the devil** , and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode **not** in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: **for he is a liar, and the father (inventor) of it**.  
8:36 And because I tell [you] the Truth, ye believe me not.

In scientific terms, demons and unclean spirits are “mind parasites” that seek to implant themselves in human minds like hijackers to prevent us making it to heaven.  
If a person has a nasty mindset, they’re attracted to his/her negative vibes like moths to a flame, hence the warning to only radiate good thoughts-  
_**“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philp 4:8)**_

A “demon” is an evil spirit-Being (Soul), according to Scripture.

The following descriptions are given of us by Christ:

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, **BEING EVIL** , know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?

And to His Disciples:-

Luke 9:54-55  
9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?  
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, **YE KNOW NOT WHAT KIND OF SPIRIT YE ARE OF** ([Rev. 12:7-9](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#12_7); [Matt. 8:22](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/45matt.htm#8_22)).

This is a world **FILLED** with sinners.

Romans 3:23 For **ALL** have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

What is a sinner? Someone who breaks God’s Law, i.e. a **criminal**.

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also The Law: for **sin is the transgression of The Law.**

When someone sins/breaks The Law/commits a crime, they are doing **EVIL**. It is **EVIL** (demonic/satanic) to lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, murder, etc.

Instead of recognizing the **EVIL** that exists in each of us, people instead try to externalize it so they can continue to point the finger elsewhere, while deluding themselves into believing they are “good people”.

One of the places people turn to externalize, i.e. divert attention from their own faults (the beam in their own eye) is to extraterrestrials/aliens, so they can pretend in their minds that it’s someone else’s fault and not their own for evil that goes on here on Earth.

If Christ told even His Own Disciples that they were evil spirits, how can anyone today believe they are supposedly good? Are they better than the disciples?

It’s always someone else’s fault and never our own, is it? Understanding the **TRUTH** that God and Christ are extraterrestrials, i.e. they are **NOT OF THIS WORLD** (and **NOT** human), when someone attempts to portray all extraterrestrials as demons, they are actually trying to say that God and Christ are evil spirits and that we are supposedly good.

The word “Satan” means “The Opposer”, i.e. one who **OPPOSES** God and attempts to subvert everything God says and does, attempting to redefine good as evil and evil as good.

Anyone who chooses to continue believing Satan is clearly still allowing Satan to possess their Soul (spirit) and cloud their judgment.

It’s time for everyone to start taking responsibility for their own actions and learn to emulate Christ in everything we think, say and do.

To do otherwise is a guaranteed recipe to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, which is where Satan (the devil) and the rest of his angels/demons are headed.

Mohammed claimed the angel Gabriel had appeared to him and gave him the Koran.  
Was it really Gabriel?  
Same with Joseph Smith of the Mormons who claimed the angel Moroni appeared to him.  
Was it really Moroni?

This is what it actually says about Gabriel in the Koran.

Sura 2:97-98  
2:97. Say: “Whoever is an enemy to **Gabriel** - for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by God’s Will, **a confirmation of what went before** , and **guidance** and **glad tidings** for those who believe\*\*,-  
2:98. Whoever is an enemy to God and His angels and Apostles, to Gabriel and Michael ([Daniel 12:1](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/33dan.htm#12_1); [Rev. 12:7](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#12_7)),- Lo! God is an enemy to those who reject Faith.”

And here is part of the “confirmation of what went before”, i.e. of Old Covenant/Testament prophecies, including those concerning the birth and life of Jesus:-

Daniel 8:13-17 (concerning the “end-times”)  
8:13 Then I heard one holy one speaking, and another holy one said unto that certain [one] which spoke, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both The Sanctuary and the Host to be trodden under foot?  
8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall The Sanctuary be cleansed.  
8:15 And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me like the appearance of a man.  
8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between [the banks of] Ulai, which called, and said, **Gabriel** , make this [man] to understand the vision.  
8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: **for at the time of the end [shall be] the vision**.

Gabriel explaining the “70 weeks” prophecy to Daniel (which includes the prophecy about the crucifixion of Jesus occurring on a **WEDNESDAY** , in the "midst of the week):

Daniel 9:21-23  
9:20 And whilst I [was] speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the “I AM” my God for the holy mountain of my God;  
9:21 Yea, whilst I [was] speaking in prayer, even the person **Gabriel** , whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.  
9:22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.  
9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the Commandment came forth, and I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.

And Gabriel announcing the “glad tidings” of the birth of John the Baptist to Zacharias and the birth of Jesus to Mary:

Luke 1:11-38  
1:11 And there appeared unto him **an angel of the Lord standing** on the right side of the Altar of Incense.  
1:12 And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.  
1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call **his name John**.  
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.  
1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.  
1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.  
1:17 And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias (Elisha), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.  
1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.  
1:19 And **the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God** ; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee **these glad tidings**.  
1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.  
1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in The Temple.  
1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in The Temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.  
1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.  
1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,  
1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein He looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.  
1:26 And in the sixth month **the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a region of Galilee** , named Gennesaret,  
1:27 **To a virgin** espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the “House of David”; **and the virgin’s name [was] Mary**.  
1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.  
1:29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.  
1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.  
1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name **JESUS** (Saviour).  
1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of The Highest: and the Lord God his Father shall give unto him the Throne of David:  
1:33 And he shall reign over the “House of Jacob/Israel” for ever; and of his Kingdom there shall be no end.  
1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?  
1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of The Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also **that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God** ([Sura 19:19](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura019.htm#19_19)).  
1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.  
1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.  
1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Of course it was Gabriel. Did Gabriel not bring glad tidings of the birth of John and of Jesus to Zacharias and Mary exactly as it says in Sura 2:97?

Where in Scripture is there a reference to an angel named “Moroni”?

The “Gabriel” who gave the Koran to Mohammed told him “Jesus is not the son of God, and Jesus was never crucified”, so how could he have been the true Gabriel?  
As for the “angel” Moroni who’s mentioned in the comical Book of Mormon he’s therefore nothing more than a comic book character..🙂

No, Gabriel did **NOT** do that in the original Koran.

That **LIE** is what the organized religions teach about that one verse, even though the very next verse states that God raised him. That’s how stupid people can be, after mutilating its transcription and translation into English. And, of course, Satan uses all of that to divide people and keep them in ignorance and fighting one another, by repeating his **lies** over and over again.

Why have muslims abandoned the original Koran?  
And why did God send Gabriel to Mohammed anyway?

For the same reason that “Christians” have abandoned the original Bible (Old Covenant/Testament and New Covenant/Testament):

To adopt the false, **satanic** teachings of **[organized religion](https://gibraltar-messenger.net/jahtruth/destruction-of-all-organized-religion/)**.

> [@Ripcord](#):
>
> And why did God send Gabriel to Mohammed anyway?

God sent the Koran as a guide to mankind, to correct over 300 years of the errant, **satanic** teachings of Roman Catholicism, which make a mockery of Christ’s Sacrifice, including their **pagan** “trinity”, their **pagan** Babylonian sun-worship on Sun-days, their **pagan** “holy” days/holidays like X-mass/Yuletide and Ishtar/Easter and their extortionate business of building pagan churches everywhere, etc.

That’s why the Koran tells everyone to cease and desist from these satanic/demonic things, just like the Bible does. It’s also why the Koran specifically **COMMANDS** its readers to abandon their organized religions and wisely choose to read, study and put into practice The Law (Old Covenant/Testament) and the Gospel (New Covenant/Testament) instead.

Unfortunately, the entire world has been demon-possessed ([Rev. 12:9](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/72rev.htm#12_7)), with most choosing to listen to and obey Satan rather than listening to and obeying God, as if our lives depend upon Him (God) which, of course, they do.

Who told the Roman Catholics that God was allegedly a “trinity”? Lucifer/Satan (the devil).

How can we be certain of that? Because **nowhere** in the Old Covenant/Testament or the New Covenant/Testament does it describe God as a “trinity”, nor as a “3=1 deity”, nor does it say that the Son (Christ) is co-equal with the Father (God), nor does it say that Christ wasn’t created by God, etc. In every case it plainly states the exact opposite. And where “trinitarian” type wording magically appears (e.g. Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:6-8), a careful study of those verses find that they are **NOT** the original text, and that in both cases the original text was altered hundreds of years later, proving the trinitarian type phrasing was added.

Sura 4:171. O People of The Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of God aught but the Truth. Jesus the (human) son of Mary was (no more than) an Apostle of God; and **His Word** ([John 1:14](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/48john.htm#1_14)), which He bestowed on Mary’s (human) son; was a spirit-Being (Christ) proceeding from Him (making the human+Being called Jesus+Christ): so believe God and His Apostles. Say **NOT** “Trinity”: **DESIST** : it will be better for you: for “I AM” is **one** God. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a human son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on Earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs.

The other example you brought up was the alleged angel named “Moroni” that allegedly visited Joseph Smith, giving him “golden plates” and the “Book of Mormon” and telling him to establish yet another **satanic** denomination of “Christianity”.

The name “Moroni” is close enough to “moron” to let everyone know how stupid that story is. And where in the Bible did God give anyone the right to make up their own extra-Biblical books, e.g. the Talmud, Catechism, Book of Mormon, Hadith, etc.? He didn’t ([Deut. 4:2](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/05deut.htm#4_2)).

There is a very simple rule in Scripture, both to recognize Scripture and to recognize when demonically-possessed people attempt to add or take away from it:

**NO** Scripture is of private interpretation ([2 Pet. 1:20](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/682pet.htm#1_20)), i.e. it **MUST** have multiple witnesses ([Deut. 19:15](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/05deut.htm#19_15)) and is **ALWAYS** consistent with itself ([Sura 39:23](https://jahtruth.net/kofk-free/sura039.htm#39_23)) when properly transcribed, translated and understood.

Yes all true Christians know catholicism is satanic to the core, that’s why we reject ALL organised religions and stay Jesus-focussed..🙂

Why do people **STILL** post graven images today, when we’ve been **COMMANDED** not to do so and then expect God’s mercy?

Exodus 20:3-6  
20:3 **Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.**  
20:4 **Thou shalt not make unto thee ANY graven image, or ANY likeness [of ANY thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth _[neither shalt thou possess them if others make them]_:**  
20:5 **Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the “I AM” thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate _[or disobey]_ Me;**  
20:6 **And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love _[and obey]_ Me, and KEEP My Commandments.**

This planet is a lunatic asylum for the criminally insane who apparently have no fear of God nor belief in the Last Day, when **ALL** of us are due to be judged according to our works.

We attempt to install demon-crazy democracies everywhere, often at gunpoint. We start wars that have murdered hundreds of millions and are in the process of murdering billions more.

Over 99% of all terrorism is state-sponsored, so who is it really doing the majority of the murdering and blowing things up on this planet? A few individuals who don’t have access to military grade explosives and military grade weaponry or the puppet, warmongering politicians and the armed forces and militarized police that they wield?
