“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,”
1 John 2:15
In our next chapter of Jonathan Cahn’s book, THE RETURN OF THE GODS, the topic of “ekballo,” the casting out of demons, is taught. As we read and pray into this material, let us stand in our authority in Christ, remembering “Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world” and step fearlessly into this material! Pray.
Chapter 5 Twilight of the Gods
The Galilean Two thousand years ago, in the midst of the Greco-Roman world, in the heartland of Galilee, in the hilltop village of Nazareth, there appeared a Jewish man named Yeshua, who would become known to much of the world as Jesus. He came as the long-prophesied Redeemer, the Messiah of Israel, and the Light of the world. He would, in time, become the central figure of human history. The earliest accounts of His ministry record His performing miracles in the sight of the Judean multitudes. The lame walked, the blind received sight, and the lepers were healed. Another miracle of healing that He was recorded to have performed was described by the Greek word “ekballo.” Ekballo means to expel, to eject, to cast out, to send away. The Bible records several encounters between Jesus and those possessed, or “demonized” by unclean spirits. In each case, He cast out the demonic spirit. In each case, the person was set free, healed, and restored to his or her right mind. Before the end of His ministry on earth, He imparted the same power of ekballo, the casting out of spirits, to His disciples. Pray.
Emanation In the fourth decade of the first century, the message of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life in the death and resurrection of the Messiah, Yeshua, or Jesus, the message that would become known as the gospel, went forth from the city of Jerusalem. It spread first throughout the land of Judea. Then it went into the nations, to
the Gentiles. The gospel and the Word of God had crossed into the pagan world. That crossing would change the course of world history. The message of God now entered the lands of many gods and idols. The ways of God now touched the ways of the pagan world. The Word of God now touched the realm of mythology. The Spirit of God now moved through the world of spirits. And the disciples of God now moved through the dominion of the shedim, the daimonia. Pray.
Clash of the Gods If behind the gods were principalities, then when the two worlds met, we would expect an intense conflict. And that is exactly what took place. It was a clash of spirits. The Book of Acts records several of those first clashes.
- In the city of Philippi a woman possessed with the “spirit of divination” stalked the apostle Paul and his coworker, Silas, for days. Luke, the writer of the account, uses the Greek word python, to describe the possessing spirit. It is the same word used to identify the Oracle of Delphi and the spirit that possessed her—and the god behind the spirit that possessed her. After several days of being followed, or stalked, the apostle Paul cast the spirit out of the woman. It was that casting out of the spirit that led to a violent backlash. The crowds went into an uproar; the two disciples were arrested, beaten, and imprisoned. Their imprisonment only came to an end when an earthquake shook the prison to its foundations. Pray.
- In the city of Ephesus, where the disciples proclaimed the Word, performed miracles of healing, and cast out the spirits, the conflict between the gospel and the gods led to a dangerous confrontation. The idol makers of Ephesus stirred up the multitude into a fury against the Word and faith that was being proclaimed. The violent rage was centered on the city’s patron goddess, whom they believed was threatened by the new message and faith. The crowd chanted the name of the goddess over and over again as it sought to exact vengeance against the disciples. Pray.
Fury of the Gods The rage of the pagan world against the gospel would grow so fierce that, in time, believers would be imprisoned, crucified, burned, and sent into the arenas to be killed as entertainment before cheering spectators. The fury of the gods and the ferocity of the spirits were now deadly. In the early years of the fourth century, the Roman emperor Diocletian launched what would become known as the Great Persecution. The number of Christians arrested became so great that common criminals had to be released from Roman prisons in order to make room. Beyond imprisonment, Diocletian’s persecution would lead to the torture and execution of countless believers in Jesus. The Great Persecution, with its deadly fury, was rooted in the gods. It was launched on the day called Terminalia, the festival of the Roman god Terminus, lord of boundaries and endings. The persecution was intended to bring about the end of faith in Jesus and the termination of His followers. Christians would be commanded to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods. If they refused, they would be imprisoned or killed. Pray.
The Oracle’s War But there is a story behind the story. The Great Persecution had its origin in the city of Didyma in the hilltop Temple of Apollo by the Aegean Sea. It was there that the emperor Diocletian sent a delegation to have an audience with the temple’s oracle. It was believed that the gods were angry at the new faith. It was believed that the gospel was interfering with the ability of the gods to transmit prophecies to their priests and priestesses. The delegation came with a question for the oracle. The emperor wanted to know whether he should launch a persecution against them. The oracle’s response gave Diocletian the answer he needed. He was to make war against the believers and the new faith. So the greatest persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire was launched by a woman possessed by a spirit, one of the shedim, the daimonia, the spirit of a pagan god. Pray.
The Great Exorcism In the end it was not the gods that prevailed, or the might of the Roman Empire, or the words of the oracle. Against all odds, the overwhelmingly powerless followers of the crucified Redeemer overcame the fires of persecution. And the message of the gospel, of God’s love and forgiveness, overcame the reign of the gods. The polytheism and pantheism of the Greco- Roman world gave way to the belief in one God. And the mythological consciousness of ancient paganism yielded to the Word of God and to a salvation that had manifested in time and space. Myth yielded to history. The spell of the gods was broken. The skies were no longer filled with their thrones, and the earth was no longer their haunting ground. Their names no longer inspired fear and awe. Their festivals attracted fewer and fewer worshippers. Their shrines were abandoned. Their temples fell into ruin. It was the twilight of the gods. Pray.
But if behind the gods were the spirits, then when the spell of the gods was broken, we would expect the signs of possession to dissipate. And so they did. The frenzied spirit possessions of the pagan priests, priestesses, oracles, and worshippers became an increasingly rare phenomenon. The carnal and licentious acts of pagan worship and rituals were banned from the public sphere. And human sacrifice became a distant memory. Pray.
We pray:
- That the spirit behind every false god is revealed to peoples’ minds and hearts, so they will cast them out and be filled with the Spirit of the Living God, as is their inheritance in Christ Jesus! Pray.
- For President Trump during this tumultuous time! Guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray.
- In thanksgiving for all the conservative candidates who will “stand in the gap” with us and our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the “usurper” and those pulling his strings in this faux administration, removing them from office! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Pray.
