In the late 1600s, Edward Teach joined the crew of a British ship that was headed to the Caribbean. Much later in his nautical career, he managed to capture a merchant vessel and turn it into a 40-gun warship. Teach soon became known as Blackbeard the most feared and famous pirate in the hemisphere.<\/p>\n
While Blackbeard did have some success as a pirate, his pirate career ended when he encountered a contingent of the British Royal Navy. In a desperate battle, he and his fellow pirates were killed, putting an end to their terrorizing exploits.<\/p>\n
By the same token, angels fell into spiritual piracy (Jude 1:6; Revelation 12:9). Satan’s own love of self replaced the love for his Creator (John 8:44; 1 John 3:8). Today he and his henchmen are doing whatever they can to commandeer the lives of human beings (cf. Luke 8:12; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 6:11-12).<\/p>\n
Even though Satan is a dangerous enemy, we don’t need to be afraid, for Jesus sealed his ultimate fate when He rose from the dead (Hebrews 2:14-15; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57). Additionally, He has given us everything we need to withstand the devils attacks (Ephesians 6:10-18).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
