What makes the descriptions you gave dark for us to know?
Why should we know the information you gave? I'm curious
Sorry about the delay from Post # 88. As a veteran of foreign wars, I still remember the training that taught us that it was imperative to know your enemy if your unit was not to be taken by surprise. One thing all Christians need to realize is that our adversary has great power. Satan is deadly without the salvation of Jesus Christ. If we are exhorted to resist the devil we should have at least an idea of where he can interfere with his "dark sentences". Please understand that "sentences" are more than linguistic. When one is guilty of a certain act according to the existing law, they are "sentenced" depending upon the infraction.
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
2 Timothy 2:3-4 (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Understanding=Strongs # 995
Hebrew word= “biyn”/pronounced bene
Meaning=distinguishing as to separate mentally, related to the spiritual realm, giving power to a spherical perception of knowledge.
Dark sentences is one Hebrew word=Strongs #2420
Hebrew word= “chiydah”/pronounced khee-daw
Meaning=a puzzle, a trick, or conundrum of hard questions of proverbial riddles, weaving together differences to the inner perception of mental deception.
“dark sentences” is related to the Hebrew word “chuwd”/pronounced khood, meaning to hook, add, and secure into a realm of division. I will add also, that it could instigate the phrase “agreeing to disagree” for the purpose of feeling a sense of togetherness.
Direct from the Hebrew language: Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
