Understanding Your Adversary; Satan's Response to Preaching the Word, Pastor Scott Mitchell

This series is designed to understand what the Bible teaches about Satan, his fall, sin, methods, etc. and the victory we have over him in Christ. I am following the general patter of J. Dwight Pentecost's book, "Your Adversary the Devil," which is recommended reading for this series. In this video we examine Satan's response to the preaching of God's word. This is something that Jesus taught in the parable of the sewer, a key parable to teach the nature of time between Jesus' rejection and return. All the parables in Matthew 13 reflect the conditions of the period between Jesus' rejection and return. Referred to as an intercalation by Chafer.
Lewis Sperry Chafer said this in his systematic theology, "Thus Daniel accounts for Gentile times that were being inserted as an intercalation in the predicted program for Israel. When, later on and following the death of Christ, a Church intercalation is added to these Gentile times, the announcement of it is intimated by Christ but is committed in its full revelation to the Apostle Paul. However, neither the first setting aside of Israel's program for Gentile times, nor the second setting aside of Gentile times for the age of the Church, has cast so much as a shadow over the certainty that God will yet in His own faithfulness fulfill every covenant-promise to His chosen people."
