He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him; with Revelation 12:3 - Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.

falseLying, untrue, incorrect, dishonest, doing something wrong, not telling the truth, being deceptive, deceitful, fabricate. DTP The challenge that all disciples face is to remain true to the teachings of the Bible.

One gives life the other leads to destruction and death.Thou shalt not bear false witness Ex 20:16 (Deut 5:20; Matt 19:18; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Rom 13:9)false witnesses are risen up against me, Ps 27:12therefore I hate every false way.

Rev 16:13
false witness / false witnessesPeople who claim to have special insight (after hearing or seeing something) which they purport to be truth; they may twist truth into half-truths or outright lies. They may even claim that God is their witness, not realizing they are guilty before God, and have brought a curse and death upon themselves.Thou shalt not bear false witness Ex 20:16Neither shalt thou bear false witness Deut 5:20for false witnesses are risen up Ps 27:12A false witness shall perish: Prov 21:28Thou shalt not bear false witness.

DTP Upon becoming disciples of Christ, we become part of His family, the church.divided ... after their families, in their nations. Gen 10:5in thee shall all families of the earth Gen 12:3in thy seed shall all the families of the earth Gen 28:14and shall return unto his own family, Lev 25:41family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away Deut 29:18against the whole family which Amos 3:1Of whom the whole family in heaven Eph 3:15
famineFood shortage, starvation; a time when people in a particular area go without food for a long period of time, often resulting in extreme hunger and even starvation. DTP God also brings times of spiritual famine which cause us to draw closer to Him. The Word of God is our food but if we are not led by the Spirit and partake of His word, we will experience a famine in our lives and will experience mental and spiritual malnutrition.And there was a famine in the land: Gen 12:10the famine was over all the face of the earth: Gen 41:56there was a famine in the land. Ruth 1:1the famine is in the city, and we shall die 2 Kin 7:4sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; 2 Kin 8:1in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

fastQuick, speedy, rapid, swift, prompt, to be firmly anchored. DTP The disciple of Christ is to be firmly anchored to Christ and His Word.

Phil 4:1Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 1 Thes 5:21Holding fast the faithful word as he hath Tit 1:9hold fast the profession of our faith Heb 10:23and hold fast, and repent. Rev 3:3
fasting / fasted / fastTo abstain from something for a period of time. DTP Food fasting is going without food and/or water for a set period of time.

Father / father / fathersA male parent, meaning "protector", often one who is a leader or one who brought something into being; one who cares for and helps nurture a child or children. DTP The disciple has an earthly father but, through faith, we also have a heavenly Father who cares and watches over us at all times, seeing the challenges that we face and knowing our daily needs.Therefore shall a man leave his father Gen 2:24 (Matt 19:5; Mark 10:7; Eph 5:31)for a father of many nations Gen 17:5 (Rom 4:17)he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land Ex 13:5is my God, ... my father's God, and I will exalt him.

John 14:6that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? John 14:10I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. John 14:28I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. John 15:1ask of the Father in my name, he may give John 15:16; 16:23but wait for the promise of the Father, Acts 1:4received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2:33Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

fatherlessSomeone who has lost a father due to death or separation of parents. DTP The disciple needs to be aware of the poor widows and fatherless.
