VOLUME 44 - NUMBER 9
Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
From where did the Devil come
and what is his destiny?
The fearful personality which
we know as the Devil was origi
nally created as a being of great
beauty — one who held a high
position of authority in heaven.
Because he became filled with
pride and attempted to exalt him
self above the throne of God Him
self, he was cast out of heaven.
Isaiah 14:12-16 gives a descrip
tion of the fall of Satan and we
note how far he fell by the way
he is addressed — “0 Lucifer, son
of the morning.”
Jesus in speaking to His dis
ciples said, “I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven.” So
we know that He was cast from
the presence of God because of
his sin. Sin began when Lucifer
said, “I will.”
After his fall, he made the
earth and air the arena of his
activity and we know from our
own experience that he is very
much present in the world about
us — even “accusing the brethren
before God.” Peter reminds us
that we should be sober and vigi
lant “because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may de
vour.” I Peter 5:8.
So Satan was created by God —
at one time was a inhabitant of
heaven and now holds the title of
Prince of this world. The whole
world system which is built upon
greed, selfishness and wickedness
is his work and when Christ
was tempted in the wilderness it
was this world that was offered
to Him by Satan. As “prince of
the power of the air” he is in
command of a great host of de
mons. They are emissaries of the
devil and do his bidding.
Satan has great power and is
even permitted by God to test the
Christian. What does the future
hold for this powerful being?
At the beginning of the Great
Tribulation assess to God will no
longer be allowed to Satan. Then
at the return of Christ with His
saints to set up His kingdom, Sa
tan will be bound for 1000 years.
Revelation 20:2.
At the end of the 1000 years, he
will be “loosed for a little sea
son.” Revelation 20:3,7,8 and will
make a last effort to overthrow
Christ’s Kingdom. This attempt
will be defeated and he will fin
ally be cast into the lake of fire.
The theory that the Devil reigns
over Hell and torments the sinner
is not Scriptural. The Devil is
one of the tormented.
“And the devil that deceived
them was cast into the lake of
fire and brimstone where the
Beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and
night for ever and ever.” Reve
lation 20:10.
WHAT ARE THE
DUTIES OF ANGELS
Angels are created beings en
dowed with unusual strength and
wisdom. They are spiritual beings
but have the ability to transform
themselves into a likeness of the
human form. Man can never be
come an angel, but to execute the
commands of God, angels can as
sume the likeness of man. We
have many examples in the Old
Testament as God sent them to
earth, carrying special messages
to the patriarchs. Abraham,
Moses, and Jacob all knew what
it was to have a visitation from
an angel of the Lord.
There are mighty hosts of these
angelic beings and God has giv
en them great power. Their place
is before the throne of God wait-

ing for His instructions.
But what do they do? In He
brews 1:14 we read, “Are they
not all ministering spirits, sent
forth to minister to them who shall
be heirs of salvation?”
This includes the responsibility
of protecting the physical life of
the believer. From Jesus’ teach
ing in Matthew 18:10 it would
seem that this watch care begins
with the little child and goes on
through life. He says, “Take heed
that ye despise not one of these
little ones; for I say unto you,
That in heaven THEIR ANGELS
do always behold the face of my
Father which is in heaven.”
Certainly it is a comforting
thought to know that we have a
guardian angel who watches over
us. In addition we are also con
stantly being “made a spectacle
unto the world, and to angels, and
to men.” I Corinthians 4:9. This
fact certainly should influence our
conduct while here upon earth.
Another one of their ministries
is to accompany the saints as they
leave this world,for heaven. “And
it came to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried by the an
gels into Abraham’s bosom ”
(Paradise). We will not make that
journey alone.
When Christ returns to sit upon
His throne, all the angels will
come with Him. Matthew 25:31.
They will have much to do with
the preparation for the judgment
of the nations as described in Mat
thew 13.
“The Son of man shall send
forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all
things that offend, and them which
do iniquity and shall cast them
into a furnace of fire; there shall
be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 13:41,42.
There are countless numbers of
unseen spirits in the world in
which we live — good and bad.
We have nothing to fear from the
angels sent by God for they are
here for our well being.
Russell Tuten
Is Candidate
For Reelection
“I am a candidate for re-elec
tion. That decision Is definite.”
This was Congressman J. Russell
Tuten’s response when reading
where someone in referring to the
present Congressman from the
Eighth District said “in case he
decides to offer for re-election.”
Tuten remarked: “When the
people of the Eighth District hon
ored me with this office, I termi
nated my business in order to de
vote my full time. This is a full
time position. It demands exper
ience and hard work. My back
ground accustomed me to hard
work and gave me the necessary
experience. My people have gra
ciously allowed me to gain enough
seniority and experience in the
United States Congress to serve
effectively I promise loyalty and
dedication toward making their in
vestment in me pay off.”
“At the proper time, I will form
ally announce my candidacy and
actively campaign upon: (1) a
sound independent voting record;
(2) regular attendance to Commit
tee meetings and regular Sessoins
of the House; and (3) full-time
effective service to my District.”

the city. The payment is made
under the Municipal Partnership
Plan. It is in addition to the com

a statewide basis last year total

More than $4,411,000 in 1965

Georgia. This is an increase of
approximately $1,268,000 over the

THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY
Early fertilizers were made
from organic materials such as
scraps, dried blood, fish scraps,
and cottonseed meal. Extension
Service Agronomist P. J. Ber
geaux said some major meat
packing companies originally went
into the fertilizer business as an
outlet for their meat by-products.
Today, however, the fertilizer
business is a highly technical and
complex chemical industry.

DIRTY CARPETS
A carpet can hold its weight in
dirt. The dirt can be placed in
three categories, says Miss Doris
Oglesby, Extension home econo
mist — housing and equipment.
About 10 percent is litter on top
of the pile. This consists of
threads, animal hairs, etc. Below
this is dust which may be rather
fine in consistency; it makes up a
bout 60 percent of the total weight
of the dirt. At the bottom is the
other 30 percent — heavy, gritty
dirt that is most difficult to re
move. This kind of dirt can ac
tually cut the fibers, causing ex
tensive damage to the carpet.
Clean carpets last longer, Miss
Oglesby says.
shu, Japan, they have establish
ed one strong Church which has
already resulted in another
Church springing up in a neigh
boring village.
Rev. Osborne will give light on
the fastest growing political force
in Japan, Soka Gakkai, which
considers Christianity its arch
enemy.
“Soka Gakkai is growing so ra
pidly that it is taking over a
great block of power in the Jap
anese government,” states one
missionary. “They have not failed
to elect every candidate present
ed by the party for vote in the
national elections, making it a
force with which Christianity will
have to reckon in the near fu
ture.”
Whenever possible, this religio
political movement already brings
persecution to bear upon Chris
tians in Japan.
“The public is cordially invited
to share in this unforgettable ex
perience,” concluded Pastor Al
dridge.
