Why Demons Fear Mary More Than God (Tobit Proves It) ~ See Note

From Totus Catholica

Ancient Jewish Exorcism Confirms Mary TERRIFIES Demons Ancient Jewish exorcists stumbled onto something Catholic priests still use today. According to both Jewish tradition and Catholic experience, demons have a unique terror of Mary - not greater than their fear of God, but more humiliating. It all goes back to Genesis 3:15 and a blood-feud level hatred God established at the dawn of history. 📌 The Point: What Satan fears most about Mary isn't her power - it's her humility. The creature who said "yes" to God destroys the creature who said "no." 📖 Core Sources Genesis 3:15 - The Protoevangelium: God to the serpent: "I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring." The Hebrew word for enmity is eivah - blood-feud level hatred. God establishes enmity not just between the serpent and Christ, but between the serpent and the woman herself. Why mention the woman specifically if she plays no distinct role? Book of Tobit - Ancient Jewish Exorcism Pattern: The demon Asmodeus had killed seven of Sarah's husbands. Tobias followed Angel Raphael's instructions, prayed, and the demon fled. Raphael bound the demon in Egypt. Pattern: prayer to God + angelic intercession + demon expelled. Mediated spiritual warfare - exactly what the Catholic Church continues when exorcists invoke Mary and the saints. St. Irenaeus (c. 180 AD): "Eve disobeyed God and brought death through the serpent. Mary obeyed God and brought life through Christ. The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary." The Theological Mechanism: Pride is the defining sin of demons - they fell because they refused to serve The antidote to pride is humility Mary called herself "the handmaid, the lowest servant of the Lord" St. Bernard of Clairvaux: "Mary conquers demons not by force but by her humility alone" Litany of Loreto (attested 1587): Calls Mary "terrible as an army in battle array" St. Alphonsus Liguori - The Glories of Mary: A demon said during exorcism that being defeated by a mere human woman was more humiliating than losing to God - "because she is a creature and they cannot stand being conquered by one so humble." ⛪ Catholic Teaching CCC 409: We are in a spiritual war - the whole of human history is a battle against the power of darkness. CCC 411: Explicitly connects Genesis 3v15 to Mary as the new Eve. Her complete obedience is the direct opposite of Satan's "I will not serve." Mary has no power of her own - all her authority in spiritual warfare comes entirely from Christ. 🛡️ Objections Answered "Where does the Bible say Mary has power over demons?" Genesis 3:15 establishes the woman's enmity with the serpent as distinct from her seed's victory. Revelation 12v1-9 shows the woman clothed with the sun doing battle with the dragon. Tobit shows the exact pattern of mediated spiritual warfare Catholics continue today. "Demons are liars - why believe exorcism accounts?" We don't base theology on demonic testimony. Demonic confessions are confirmations of what the Church already teaches from Scripture and Tradition - not the foundation. Jesus himself interrogated demons and received truthful answers (Mark 5). 📺 Chapters 0:00 - Ancient Jewish Exorcists & What Catholics Still Use Today 1:07 - Genesis 3:15: Blood-Feud Hatred Between the Woman and the Serpent 3:35 - Book of Tobit: Jewish Pattern of Mediated Spiritual Warfare 4:30 - The Mechanism: Humility Crushes Demonic Pride 6:08 - Objections Answered 8:03 - Conclusion: What Satan Fears Most Is Her Humility 🌐 Connect 📿 https://totuscatholica.org/rosary 🌍 https://totuscatholica.org/ ✉️ https://totuscatholica.org/contact 🔍 https://catholicexaminationofconscien... 💬 Question If Genesis 3:15 establishes enmity between the woman herself and the serpent - and ancient Jewish exorcism already used mediated spiritual warfare (Raphael in Tobit) - why would invoking Mary in spiritual warfare be unbiblical?

Nota Bene ~ Of course, Tobit is one of the Books Martin Luther, the apostate monk and heresiarch, removed from the Bible.
