DEVOUR - DEVOUR is a co-op horror survival game for 1-4 players. Satan has always tried to destroy Israel, too, as is apparent in the longstanding evil of antisemitism. Satan's opposition to God's plan to redeem fallen mankind is apparent from the dawn of human history and is abundantly clear in Herod's attempt to kill baby Jesus, whom he saw as a threat to his kingship (Matthew 2:7–13). ![]() Revelation 12:4 depicts Satan standing before the woman so he might destroy the woman's child. Either way, Satan and all rebelling demons will be cast down and barred from their normal communication with God. Scholars differ on whether this specific reference to "a third of the stars of heaven" is a reference to Satan's work in corrupting one third of the angels of heaven, or a point about his immense earthly power at this time. In the middle of the tribulation, Satan will lose his access to heaven. Job 1:6–12 pictures Satan at the throne of God with the accusation that Job reverenced God only because God prospered him. He does not reside there, but often he appears before God to accuse believers (Revelation 12:10). The appalling judgment was God’s warning to all who would scorn the prophets of the Lord.Currently, the Devil has access to heaven. The seriousness of the crime was indicated by the seriousness of the punishment. The penalty was clearly justified, for to ridicule Elisha was to ridicule the Lord Himself. The Lord’s punishment was the mauling of 42 of them by two female bears. Because these young people of about 20 years of age or older (the same term is used of Solomon in 1 Kings 3:7) so despised the prophet of the Lord, Elisha called upon the Lord to deal with the rebels as He saw fit. Rather, it is a record of an insulting demonstration against God’s prophet by a large group of young men. In summary, 2 Kings 2:23-24 is not an account of God mauling young children for making fun of a bald man. These youths were sarcastically taunting and insulting the Lord’s prophet by telling him to repeat Elijah’s translation. The phrase “go up” likely was a reference to Elijah, Elisha’s mentor, being taken up to Heaven earlier in 2 Kings chapter 2:11-12. ![]() The baldness of Elisha referred to here may be: 1) natural loss of hair 2) a shaved head denoting his separation to the prophetic office or more likely, 3) an epithet of scorn and contempt, Elisha not being literally bald. Third, the mocking of “go on up, you baldhead,” is more than making fun of baldness. Rather, it was a large demonstration of young men who assembled for the purpose of mocking a prophet of God. This was not a small group of children making fun of a bald man. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.” It seems unbelievable that God would cause two bears to maul a group of children for making fun of a man for being bald.įirst, the King James Version has done us a disservice by translated the term as “children.” The Hebrew word can refer to children, but rather more specifically means "young men." The NIV, quoted here, uses the word “youths.” Second, the fact that the bears mauled 42 of the youths indicates that there were more than 42 youths involved. ‘Go on up, you baldhead!’ He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. ![]() The text reads, “From there Elisha went up to Bethel. There are a few key issues we must understand in regards to this account of the youths cursing Elisha. ![]()
