Revelation 9:13-15 says “And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.”
The word skate means to shake or to move quickly. I want you to know that God is getting ready to cause you to shake systems and kingdoms in the coming days and months, and the places where you were stagnate, God is going to cause acceleration to propel you forward and you will move quicker and swifter in the days ahead, why? Because God is causing you to become the Ice skater!
The Bible says that these four angels were bound in the great river Euphrates. But why were they bound there ? 2 Peter 2:4 says, For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and Jude 1:6 says, And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Now the word hell in 2 Peter is the word tarturoo where Tartarus comes from which means the deepest abyss of hell. Now you wouldn’t normally think of hell as an abyss, but if we look at Luke 8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. The demons begged Jesus not to cast them into the deep, the word deep here is the word abyss. The books of Enoch and Jubilees describe the fall of the angels, but these in particular sinned differently than the other angels. In the book of Genesis chapter 3 after the fall of Adam God placed Cherub angels to guard the way of the tree of life. The Garden faced eastward but there were four angels that guarded the way. These angels from the Euphrates are the angels of the Garden. The fall of Satan is key in understanding what happened. Satan fell at the beginning, but a third fell later. Many believe Satan fell before the creation, but he actually fell on day 6, along with Adam, Eve. So all three fell on the sixth day, 666.
How is this possible? Isaiah 14 shows us that Lucifer was NOT in heaven when he sinned but he was on the earth:
Isaiah 14:12-14 Says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isaiah I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” Jesus said I beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven! Jesus is saying this prophetically of what would happened after the cross, because he is calling those things which be not as though they were. John 12:31-32, says “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” Satan was judged at the cross! But if Satan wasn’t in heaven when he sinned where was he? He sinned in the Garden, heaven and earth was joined together by the garden: Ezekiel 28:13-15 says “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” So, we see that Satan sinned in the Garden, and that he was created in a day. Psalm 104 describes the first three days of creation: Psalms 104:1-5 says “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: (THIS IS DAY ONE)
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits;
his ministers a flaming fire: (THAT WAS DAY TWO)! Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. (THAT WAS DAY THREE)!
The book of revelation chapter 12 gives the biography of Satan letting us know that his tail drew a third of the angels. These four angels were worshipped by man in the earth. But what happened to eden after these angels left their assignment? Ezekiel 31 describes the what happened to eden and the judgment of the tree of knowledge by using the Assyrian: verses 1-10, 13-14. Not only is God describing what happened to the tree of knowledge and eden itself, but it shows what will happen to Satan.
There are nine orders of angels that God created: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels. The first three orders govern the creation, the second three govern the cosmos, and the third govern the earth.
Satans fall effected a third, they were the principalities, powers, and angels. Satan fell first, and the third fell in Genesis 6. Satan falls in three phases: in his first fall he loses his archangel status. In his second fall he loses his access into the third heaven, and in his last fall he loses his actuality when he is cast into the lake of fire.
In Satans hierarchy Principalities are the first in rank and order; they derive their power from satan.
Powers are the second rank. They get their authority from the principalities. They affect and infect structures, systems, and the five pillars of our society: marriage, family, government, education, and the church.
The rulers of the darkness are the third in rank. They are also called kosmokrators or world rulers. They rule over the twelve cosmological systems of the universe and rule in the kingdom of darkness. They are responsible for blinding the minds of people from the truth; through media, music, movies, fashion, sports, philosophies, and religious ideologies.
Spiritual wickedness is the fourth in rank. These try to stop prayers from being answered. They build strongholds in the minds of people. They operate in high places; that is places of devotion.
Devils and demons are the fifth in rank. These are the ones that descended from the four cherub angels who posessessed bodies of men in genesis 6, and cohabitated with women. They operate in every evil understanding you can think of; including sickness, demon possession, depression, violence, and other related wickedness.
The spirits of the underworld are the sixth in rank. These are angels that were bound under chains of darkness.
The angel of the bottomless pit is the seventh, he and his locust demons are used in the end time.
Death is the eighth in rank. He was used in the old testament; but since jesus died on the cross, death is on a leash and can only go as far as the Lord allows.
Hades is the ninth in rank. His mouth gets larger every day, but jesus has limited his intake.
The word principality can be broken into three smaller words that show satan’s hierarchical structure: princes, principalities, and principals. Satan is the prince of the power of the air (ephe. 2: 2). But because of Christ we are over his head and he is under our feet. John 3: 8 says “… For this purpose the son of god was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Colossians 2:15 says Jesus that he “…spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” “It” meaning the cross.”
As I stated before Enoch describes the fall, and the book Jubilees, but there is a book older than both that describes these four angels: Job 38:29 (KJV)
29 Out of whose womb came the ice?
and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? Job 38:30 (KJV)
30 The waters are hid as with a stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen. Job 38:31 (KJV)
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,
or loose the bands of Orion? Job 38:32 (KJV)
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?
or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Pleiades, Orion, Mazzaroth, and Arcturus were these four angels. These four angels are like the four living creatures of Ezekiel chapter 1. Egyptians called them Set, Net, Ptah, And Ankh. But the key verse here is verse 30 “…and the face of the deep is frozen” the word deep here means abyss, but God says it was frozen, then he says can you bind the Pleiades. God cause the abyss to freeze, or to bind the fallen angels. GOD IS GETTING READY TO CAUSE YOUR ENEMY TO BE FROZEN IN TIME! Freeze devil, you can’t have my family, you can’t have my mind, you can’t steal my joy! I freeze your words , I freeze every curse of the enemy. God is getting ready to cause you to skate on top of your enemy, because he’s freezing their motion and movement in your life.
BUT in Revelation 9:15 they are not bound by the frozen abyss, they are loosed from it. Matthew 24:20 (KJV)
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Matthew 24:21 (KJV)
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
It’s about to be a winter season and you gonna have to have the ability to skate, to move swiftly to accomplish the things that God has anointed you to walk in. Luke 10:19 (KJV)
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
God says I have given you authority to move as the ice skater in the earth. Genesis 15:18 (KJV)
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: God gave Abraham to walk and tread on the land, even to the great river Euphrates. Remember Euphrates is where the four angels are bound, but God says even as I called Abraham a prophet because of his intercession, your intercession is going to push back judgment! Your intercession is going to shake systems! Your intercession is going to run swiftly in the earth because I’m making you my ice skater.
