Heavenly Politics

[Gail]

Will there be any?

To which party will Jesus and the disciples belong?

Will the right fight the left as they do here?

Any thoughts?

[Dr. Shane]

It seems we are in the midst of that fight now.

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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." (Rev. 12:7)

"And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:12)

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph 6:12)

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Ptr 5:8)

Seems heavenly politics are even more bitter than Earthly ones.

No- I mean in Heaven, after Satan has been dealt with

IMO politics is based on self-interest. If that is true, then we would not expect to see it in heaven.

I agree david, I can't see politics being on the earth made new.
