(Demonology) Warring Against the Polical Realm — Willie Mullan

Demon Princes and the Political Realm

Ephesians chapter 6, again this evening, just to commence. Ephesians chapter 6, and this is our fifth night on this great subject of demonology, and I think we've got quite a lot to go. It's time to recapture what we've been through here.

On the first night we looked at Lucifer, the leader of this demon, diabolical army that comes against us in all shapes and forms. And we had a great night looking at this Lucifer, the leader. And then on the second night we read this verse together where we are now, verse 12,.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities. And we just took the word principalities. And we found it was a Greek word, argi, and it's translated more times by the word prince than by the word principalities.

We found out that these were demon princes. You remember that the Pharisees insulted Christ by saying that he cast out demons by the prince of the demons, Beelzebub. And we went through the book to find these demon princes, and we found that their job in this great mighty warfare that's going on in this world, that their job was to come against parliaments and governments.

They were more in the politics of the thing than anything else. And I said that the demon prince that's over this province of ours, he must have got a satanic medal or two before now. And then we went on on the third night, and we went on into the next word, against principalities, against powers.

These are demon powers, and they are distinct and different from principalities. For Lucifer is the leader, and these demon princes have a job to do with the governments, and they're doing a tremendous job.

Demonic Powers Against the Body and Mind

But these powers, they come against the physical frame. And we saw how they could bind a woman. She was stooped and bound, her bones were locked for eighteen years. And Jesus said, this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years he released her.

And we took a night on how the demons come against the physical frame. And last week we took a night on how the demons come against the mental realm, against the mind and the minds of men. And we found out that Christ went about doing good and healing.

All that were oppressed of the devil. And this demon oppression is something that's very rampant these days. We found that the woman came to Christ and said, my daughter is graciously vexed. It's a tremendous word, isn't it, as to do with the mind?

And this mental oppression and this mental destruction and vexation, we found out last week that the demons went at work. Then a man came with his son and said, my son is lunatic. Oh yes, we went into all this now.

So we have seen this army spread out on the battlefield, and how trained, and how they march and wrench, and how they seem to do what they're told to do. And the princes go into the political realm, and the powers into the physical and into the mental.

Demonic Attacks on Spiritual Believers

And tonight we're going to see these same demon powers come against the spiritual. And I talk about spiritual, I'm talking about believers who are walking in fellowship with Christ. You know, we must always make a differentiation among believers.

Because Paul writing to the church at Cairns, and there is no doubt at all that they were saved because in the fifteenth chapter he says, the gospel that I preached unto you by which you were saved. And you remember him saying in that sixth chapter, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, for we were saved.

But in this differentiation he said in the third chapter, I could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, ye are yet carnal. And we've got to make the difference whether you like it or not, that there are carnal Baptists and spiritual Baptists.

And I don't give two hoots whether you like it or not. It doesn't worry me at all. And if you're one of the carnal ones, then I'm not talking to you this evening. I'm talking to the spiritual one. And I want to outline the battle for you this evening, how demons come against the spiritual sons and daughters of the Almighty God.

Now, we're going to look at this battle that they wage against us, this warfare, in its broadest and in its most general sense this evening. Because we'll have to come to one of two particulars that we will need to get down to magnify.

So you know what we're doing? We're watching these demon powers coming against the spiritual sons and daughters of the Almighty and we're looking at it just in a general sense this evening. That's what we're about to do.

Dispensations and the Reality of Spiritual Beings

You know, I want you to know this, that in every dispensation, and remember there are dispensations, I was some of these fellows who would have the church in the Garden of Eden, and I would wonder where the elders and deacons were and all the rest of it.

The fellow said to me, remember this, the church was right down from the beginning. Well, I said, friend, if it was, it was a long time without a head. Well, not until Jesus died and went back to heaven did he become the head of the church.

And the great character came to our house to argue with me about this sort of thing once, and I just asked him one question. I said, when God set gifts in the church, he set first apostles. Now, if the church began way back there, how did the apostles get first?

Closed up all his books and put them in the bag and away he went. And I said, you should drop them on the river as you go along, friend. Is it people coming talking silly nonsense? The fellow came after last week's meeting.

He's not here tonight, he's got such a doing. Well, I'm glad he's not here because he doesn't even listen. He said to me, you know, you talk about these spirit beings as if they were real personalities.

I said, it's what I've been teaching for weeks, friend, of the personalities, demon personalities. He said, you know, all this demon stuff in this New Testament, it's only a psychological idea in a mind.

I said, no, how would you translate the psychological idea from a mind into two thousand pigs? And you should see the blank look on his face, you'd think he was a soul himself. How would you translate a psychological idea into two thousand pigs and let them roam down the street in the street?

Tell me, come and tell me. My, some of the clever cloaks that's gone about are the greatest dukes in this land. They're so daft that I lose my patience with them. I think I'm a sort of a duke myself, but when I see some of these boys, I thank God I never went to the school that they went to.

Satan Across Biblical Dispensations

Now, we're going to look at this in its broadest due, this evening, and you can't see, you know, at a glance, if you look at the notes, that the devil and demons were busy in every dispensation. You can see that Satan beguiled Eve.

Well, you know that Eve lived in the dispensation of innocence, and when the devil came into the garden, she was innocent. Make no mistakes about that. And I want you to notice that Job was in a different dispensation from Eve.

Job was even before the law. Dr. Bullinger thinks that he might well have been a son of Ithaca, and there is a son of Ithaca called Job, there is no doubt about it. Certainly, if you read right through the book, he was before the law.

He was the priest in his own house, anyway, and offered up sacrifices for his own children, so I think that should teach you something. You know how the devil smote Job, don't you? Because David was in the dispensation of law, there is no question there, and the same old Satanic enemy is on the job, and he provoked this.

We are going to take next Tuesday on how the devil came against the eternal one. We have been looking at the devil and the political, and the demons, and the physical, and the mental, and tonight the spiritual, and next Tuesday, God willing, the eternal one.

When he came, why he came, how he came, from whom he came, all the rest of it. So we'll not touch that this evening, I only put it in. Because I put Judas in, and I didn't put Judas in because I think he was spiritual.

I put Judas in for the very opposite. You see, when the demons, or the devil, comes against spiritual children of God, he either tries to beguile them, or smite them as God will allow him, or provoke them, or tempt them, or in the case of Paul, hinder them.

But one thing is sure, he can never possess them. You see, with this body is the temple of the Holy Ghost this evening, and I'm fully persuaded about that, that the Holy Ghost is in me. Then I know that he that is in me is greater than he that is in the world.

He may oppress me. I assure you I know the battle so well that I don't let him. He may try to provoke me. He may threateningly hinder me, but he will never possess me. And I put that bit in just to let you see the difference.

It wasn't that I ever thought Judas was spiritual. So I want you to get the hold of this. These are different dispensations. Eve lived in the age of innocence. Job lived in the age of human government.

David lived under the law. The Lord Jesus, we will always talk about the days of his flesh, and there is no doubt that Paul lived in this glorious age of grace. But I want you to learn something about these attacks this evening.

Corruption of the Mind Through Satan's Subtlety

Let's come to 2 Corinthians, chapter 11, please. 2 Corinthians, and we're at the 11th chapter. 2 Corinthians, chapter 11, verse 1, Paul writes in to these things, it says, Would the God ye could bear with me a little in my folly, and indeed bear with me.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, this is one of the fears of Paul, and it's a great message when you get them all together, but I fear less by any means of the certain beguiled ease through his subtlety.

So your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Now, let me state quite clearly just now, for the sake of any of the young folks who may be brought up on the modernistic issue, because the modernists don't believe Genesis, chapter 3.

One of them said to me, it's just mythology. I can assure you with Paul, it was theology. He believed it. Let me say to you that he is writing under the inspiration of a spirit, for the Holy Ghost believes all about Genesis 3.

Let me tell you a greater authority than all these. The Lord Jesus believed this, as he quotes from Genesis, chapter 2, and on into Genesis 3 and 4. Now, let's get the hold of this. This is no myth. This actually happened.

Now, look at the wording justly, as the certain beguiled ease through his subtlety. Beguiled is a tremendous word. You know, if you want the true meaning of it, it's right behind it. He says, I fear less by any means of the certain beguiled ease through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted.

And that's what he was doing. He was corrupting the mind, wasn't he? That's what beguiling is all about. You know, this is most interesting for me, because there's another translation which says, less your imagination should be corrupted.

And there's another translation which says, less your understanding should be corrupted. And there's another translation which says, less your thoughts should be corrupted. And I'm teaching the lads and lasses out at the school, and I've drawn out on the board for them their minds.

It's quite a task. Have you looked at some of them from where I stand? Here are their minds. You know, you've got faculties in here, at least you have something of the faculty. There is a thing in here called imagination.

Art detects use imagination, you know, as how they make their money. There's a thing in here called memory. Good preachers have to have a memory. No use in this job if you haven't a memory. There's a faculty in here called your understanding.

That's how you know two and two's form. That's how you get the what and the why and the where and the when. Your imagination, to corrupt your understanding, to corrupt your thoughts. That's why I say we're having a general view, because we'll have to take time to talk one night about curtains, won't we?

So we'll see what's going on in some of their heads. They'll have a whole night on and I'll straighten this nonsense out from this book. This charismatic bluff from me. And you bring your Bible and sit tight and see.

We're at the Bible now, not imagination. Not imagination that's corrupted by the devil. They're going to be down with a note in the book to see what's going on. This is one of the ways that the devil attacks the spiritual children of God.

He beguiles them, he corrupts their minds, corrupts their thoughts. We don't need to go back and look at Job. We have been filled up when we were looking at the physical. And we know that if God allows either demons or devils, you know, they can come and they can hurt.

You remember as one touched Satan covered Job from the soles of the foot to the crown of the head with sore bones. But this can only be done when God allows. He could touch any one of our bodies this evening without God allowing him.

And I'm afraid we'll be a mess. If you look at the demons coming out of the demoniac of Gadara, before they came they said, don't cast us into the deep, let us enter into the swine. I'll tell you the next words.

And he gave them liberty. Oh my Lord Jesus, you'd wonder if a Mormon had never found out that he was the Lord. Let me say to you, he gave them liberty. But we'll take it bit by bit, children. We're just having a broad look at it this evening.

Satan's Provocation of David

Let's go way over to 1 Chronicles 21 to see this provocation that came to pass. 1 Chronicles and we're at 21. First book of Chronicles chapter 21. First and second Samuel, first and second Kings, first and second Chronicles and we're at 1 Chronicles 21.

I want you to watch the wording very carefully. Verse 1, and Satan stood up against Israel. I want you to see who he really was buttering with. It was this elect nation. And Satan stood up against Israel.

Now here's how he got about the job and provoked David to number Israel. You see when Satan wants to stand up against an assembly he just needs one man or one woman. And if he can get the hold of them he can bring damage.

Damage to the whole assembly. That's why the rulers of an assembly have to deal with open sin. Because a little leaven would just leaven the whole lump. And all that Satan needs is a naked in the cave and he'll stop the march of the army, won't he?

Now he provoked David. That's a very interesting word. Sometimes it's translated, this Hebrew word that's here, sometimes it's translated by the word enticed. You know he just didn't do it all in one hour.

He came and enticed and enticed and enticed until he provoked. Sometimes this word that's here is translated by the word stirred. He stirred his mind. You see it's quite a different thing from beguiling, isn't it?

Oh yes it's quite different. It's only time to give you a broad glance tonight of how the enemy attacks. This is a sort of spiritual academy you're in now so that you know exactly what will happen on the battlefront.

Sometimes he corrupts the mind if you don't watch. You need it to be gathered with truth. Sometimes he entices and stirs and moves because this word is translated move more times than it's translated provoke.

Of course you can get this in a glance. That provoked and enticed and stirred and moved. All the same thing anyway. This is what he did. Sometimes he comes like this. We're not going to deal with Christ tonight and I only put Judas in there.

Satan's Temptation of Christ

When we come to see him tempting Christ next week and I say this, that when he came against Christ, he came against body and soul and spirit. You see he came very subtly and said you're hungry. You've been fasting for 40 days and 40 nights.

Command these stones to be made bread. It's coming against the body. Jesus answered man shall not live by bread alone. So he saw that wasn't going to work so he takes him up onto the pinnacle of the temple and he begins to quote scripture.

He said in the 91st Psalm it says he will give us angels guards concerning me. If you don't go down the angels will keep you from crashing and what a sensation it will be for the people down in the court.

If you jump from the pinnacle of the temple and you're not hurt, boy you'll cause quite a stir. And there are always folk prepared to jump. Many a time he's taken me to the pinnacle of the temple but I'm not so soft as to jump.

I know who I am. It's the wee fellow that God says I'm not jumping. I'm not here to make scenes or sensations either. I'm here to teach the book that's all. David Patterson said to me years ago, he was a great friend of mine, he says all you're set for is preaching the word and preaching the gospel and don't try anything else.

He was right. Let one good man speak to you properly you know. It does you a bit of harm if you sit and listen. So he provoked. You know you'll find out at the last temptationing he said to Christ look at all the kingdoms of the world and the power and the glory of them.

All these kingdoms and power and glory I'll give to you if you fall down and worship me. He was at his spirit now. I'll tell you he never won an inch with Christ at any time. I'll tell you that when he took Judas over he took him over body and soul and spirit.

And there's another man coming and some of the folks think that he's Judas coming back again. Maybe he's here in this planet now. You know I set the boys and girls at the school a task last week. Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.

So what's the mystery of godliness? It is this. God was manifest in the flesh. You see it's something that would never have dawned on us if God hadn't revealed it to us. That God would come down into this very planet and walk on this very earth.

Manifest in flesh. Our list book also talks about the mystery of iniquity. Because the devil's going to take a man over completely. While Christ was God incarnate, the antichrist will be the devil incarnate.

And he'll be some character let me tell you. Some character. Let's have a look at Paul being hindered just for a moment. It's first Thessalonians and it's chapter 2. First Thessalonians and it's the second chapter.

Satan Hinders Paul's Mission

First Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 17. But we brethren being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in hearts, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. Wherefore we would have come on to you, Eve and I, Paul, once and again, but Satan hindered us.

You know that's a tremendous confession for Paul to make. Satan hindered us. I wonder do you know all about Paul's missionary journeys or do you know a stretch of them? You remember that he stood in Asia Minor at a place called Troas and he's looking right across the Aegean Sea.

I remember when we flew over this Aegean Sea and the pilot very graciously brought the plane away down low so that some of us could see the Isle of Patmos, pointed it out. And I had other thoughts. I could almost see this little narrow sea that Paul crossed.

Yes he got a Macedonian call and he came from Asia Minor across the Aegean Sea came to Macedonia. And he most assuredly gathered that God was directing him. And you know the first night he landed in the Philippians, I've often wondered, you know, at Paul putting his arm around Silas, just a young fellow and saying, now I'm sure God's taking us, we're going to Macedonia.

But you know the first night they arrived there, they're in their near most prison with their feet fast in the stonks. I think Paul was sitting here with his feet fast in the stonks, his arms pinned to the wall and off of it in the dark was silence.

I don't think they could see each other. You know if it hadn't been some of us, if Silas hadn't been some of us, we would have shouted at Paul saying, now you're a red boy, you said you were in the will of God.

We've had something to say about this whole thing. But you know they didn't say anything. They began to sing. They prayed and sang praises. I want you to notice the way it's worded in your book. Paul at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises.

Had it said Paul prayed and sang praises, it'd be a big thing. You'd expect him to sing anyway. I think it's bigger when the wee fellow sings. Silas sang. He wasn't Paul at all or anything like Paul. He's just a wee fellow on the wall.

He sang. Sang a lull and prayed. In fact this duet, Dr. Irons had said this, the duet was so powerful that it pulled the house down. That's pretty good God, isn't it? That's what they used to say at the old opera house, why he brought the house down.

Oh, well this house came down in no fashion. Yes, well you know the old magistrates that put Paul and Silas in, they couldn't get rid of them quick enough. They came around and said, well if you're on your way, you're okay.

Thank you. Paul says, no sir, you're right. God put us out like that. We're Romans and you put us in prison. We didn't do anything. Scared the life out of the magistrate, sure we did. And then you know he did go and he went down to Thessalonica.

That's where he went to. And the meetings he had there were powerful. And then of course the unbelieving Jews stirred up the people. He had to move on to Breda. And then he had to move on to Athens. And then he had to move on to Turin.

And as you begin to see the events from there on, you know, you know he so loved the Thessalonians that they wanted to go back once and again. But he says, Satan hindered us. And the word in the Greek is, Satan cut the cross off.

That's what it is. Sells us here books and all this. Somebody cuts across you. You see, I think that the devil was getting his principalities to work. And you'll find that the Jews, Judaism, which was a mighty force, you know, and Romanism, I believe the principalities began to work so that they hindered Paul.

I can tell you that now. Because you can't do a thing about it when they get going like that. You just have to go on with the job where you are, so that you can see the demons working, can't you? You know, they can corrupt your mind if you don't watch, if you don't get proof.

And if you, if you just open your mouth and won't listen, they'll most surely do it. I've had one or two tussles with boys who think they know. And when I set them down to the churches and put their nose there, you can almost see them sticking up.

They don't like it. Oh, well, you go on. The devil will take your mind over. You don't like the truth. So, keep that in your mind when the night comes, when we examine this gift of time, in case you might be corrupt.

I think you can see this, that it can come against the mental yet, and the physical, and the political can come in and you can be hindered. Now, what I want to do more than anything else tonight, is to let you see how he can come against us, never mind about Eve, never mind about Job, never mind about Paul, us, talking about ordinary five-eighths like us.

That's what we've got to consider now, in a broad view, but we'll come to particulars. Let's go to 2 Corinthians, chapter 2, please. 2 Corinthians, chapter 2. Now, I think you know this, and it will save time.

Satan's Devices and the Church's Discipline

In 1 Corinthians, chapter 5, it was brought to his notice a man had committed a certain sin. It was a terrible sin, and it was commonly reported. It just wasn't slander or anything like that. You have to be very careful with stories, you know, and when people bring me stories, don't bring me them now, I'm too long here for that game.

They just get into the court and say, all right, get in the car and come around and see them, and say the same thing before them, and we'll know where we are. I've never seen anybody go yet. All the fools that run about talking and slandering, they're not men at all, they're monkeys.

They haven't got the guts of a louse. Do you know what that means? I listen to them, they second me talking. They're not prepared to stand up. They won't allow you to go to court and whisper in the back room, you know.

You've got to stand in the witness box and swear it. It's the sort of things that I listen to. You're prepared to go around and say it, I'm prepared to go with you. But this thing was commonly reported, you know.

And Paul said that this man had to be judged, he had to be put away, because the little leaven would leaven the whole lot. That's why there are rulers in an assembly, and that's why sometimes they have to do things that are very sad.

There's no joy, you know, in taking a fellow aside, not for me anyway. Now he's thinking about them again in this second letter and in this second chapter, and he said this. He says, verse six, just to save time, sufficient to such a man is this punishment which was inflicted of many.

Second Corinthians chapter two, verse six. So that contrary wise you ought rather to forgive him and comfort him. And don't forget the forgive bit and the comfort bit. Lest perhaps such a should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

This is always the danger. Wherefore I beseech you that you confirm your love toward him. Don't forget the forgive him, the comfort him, the love him. Do you get that? This is so hard to drill that into Christians at times.

They'd rather trample the fellow down. Verse nine, for to this end also did I write that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things. To whom you forgive anything I forgive also.

For if I forgave anything to whom I forgave it, for your sake forgave I it in the person of Christ. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices. The word devices is a very interesting one.

It's the Greek word noema, n-o-e-e-m-a. Noema. It's actually translated only once by the word devices. It's translated every other time by the word mind. We are not ignorant of his mind. We know the way he works.

You know there are two great subjects in the New Testament, the mind of Christ and the mind of Satan. You need to know his mind. That's how good old Montgomery outwitted the great German general. He knew Rommel's mind.

He knew what he would do tomorrow, and he was written on it. And if we are going to fight this fight, we'll need to know a little bit about the enemy's mind, won't we? We'll not need to be ignorant, you know, of his mind.

Yes, it's translated somewhere by the word maneuver. I think it was Williams, the old Quaker, translated. We are not ignorant of his maneuvers, nor just what he'll do. You see, the devil can tempt any one of us and entice us and provoke us and stir us and move us until we make a blunder.

And if you're going to tell me you never made one, it's the biggest one of all. If God would mark iniquity in this house now, who would stand? They don't know anybody. Well, the devil tempts and the fellow falls, and the church has to deal with it if it's an open sin because of the rest of the apples in the bar.

Because if you don't deal with it, they'll all go rotten, isn't it? You set yourself up on a pinnacle that you're better than them. So it's in the open, has to be dealt with. But the same devil that tempts a man can now get the church to a place where it won't forgive, nor comfort their love, to swallow this passion of eternal.

He got to know this enemy that you're fighting. One day he's fighting on the other flank, and the next day he's on the other one. We must not be ignorant of his devices. And when a man repents in this godly sorrow and wants to put things right, the whole assembly should tremblingly receive a mark.

You won't forget that in case I die, someone. Won't you, Rector George Carruthers? Yes, these are the devices. Let's go to Ephesians chapter six. That's where we began this evening. Ephesians six is telling us how to fight in this chapter, of course, and we'll have a whole night on that.

The Armor of God and the Believer's Victory

It says, Ephesians six, right down to chapter, verse sixteen, above all, and he means above all, taking the shield of faith, by which he shall be able to quench all the fiery dots of wickedness. Now, the devices of Satan and the fiery dots of the wicked are two different things.

You see, the devices of Satan is just the mind of Satan, but the fiery dots are the missiles of Satan. In fact, you know, one of our great translators has translated it like this, by which he shall be able to quench all the flaming missiles of the enemy.

And I would think that we would know something about flaming missiles in this land of ours. You know how they can use milk bottles and put petrol in them and set them. They come in through the window, you know, they're flaming missiles.

And then the petrol spreads all over the place, set the house on fire in no time at all. Paul Williams, who was a Quaker, and you hear me referring to him because he translated the New Testament in a language that's really wonderful, and he translates this like this.

He says, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fire-tipped arrows of the enemy. You know this game. You've played Cowboys and Indians before now. Well, you know, the Indians said, fire-tipped arrows.

Now, if a flaming missile is going to come through your window, or if a fire-tipped arrow is going to come into your home, there must be a harm to throw, and there must be a harm to pull the bow. And don't let it be yours, because I think that some of the Christians thought the devil along in this business.

Don't you throw any missiles anymore, won't you be guilty of that. Would you ever dare to pull the bow for the devil? Won't you do that now? Because he's looking for boys like you. That's when the demons come upon some of the carnal Christians.

It's all they ever do, throw missiles and pull the bow. Don't do it now. You tee up the chapter a little bit, verse 11, put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

And remember, the fiery darts of the wicked and the devices of Satan and the wiles of the devil are all different. The wiles just means the cunning. If you're going to prevail against the cunning of the enemy, you need to have on the whole armour of God.

You know, we have so many nights ahead of us, and we're saying, going to have a night, you know, on how to stand against the enemy. I think some of the Christians are afraid of the devil. Can they do this or have to do it properly one night?

When God made this vast creation, there is God. And the greatest created being he ever made was Lucifer. He was next, for by God's hand. The next one is the archangel. He's still the boss around. Then there are seraphim and chariotims and angels and men and animals and flowers.

It's a long way, you know, from Lucifer to men. And when our Lord Jesus came to save, he was made lower than the angels. He bypassed Lucifer and the archangel, and he became more than you. He came down to take off his coat in the arena where the devil was shopping around.

And I will tell you on Sunday night that he bruised the serpentine. The bruiser, he destroyed him that had the power of death. And when God raised him, God set him at his own right hand, far above all, quick now, principalities and powers and every name that was named.

And where he is, I am. Don't you think I'm down here any longer? Seated with him in the heavenly places, and the power that belongs to him belongs to me. I'm not only a knave of God, you know, I happen to be a joint heir of Christ.

You know, when the archangel, I shouldn't do this, but I can't help it now. When the archangel met the devil, you know, at the raising of the body of Moses, the old devil kicked up a row about this. And the archangel, and he's some guy, he dare not bring a real accusation against him.
