SATAN IS CONQUERABLE

2^ND,FEBRUARY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 4-6

TEXT: Revelation 20:1-15

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 

5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 

6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 

8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 

13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 

14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 

15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

KEY VERSE: Revelation 20:20

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever..”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Evil and wickedness have an expiry day.

THE MESSAGE:

No matter how long it may seem, evil shall ultimately be defeated and good shall prevail. Adolf Hitler seemed almost unstoppable during the Second World War, as he pushed his evil agenda of wiping out the Jews across Europe. But what appeared unstoppable and unconquerable ended abruptly when he, seeing his obvious defeat and fearing being captured alive, committed suicide.

Our passage today reveals the ultimate defeat and judgment of Satan and the final triumph of righteousness and good. Since creation, he has opposed the cause of God on earth, sponsored and encouraged evil in a seeming unchallengeable manner. But at last, his end is predicted. He will be cast into the lake of fire eventually where he will be in an endless torment with all who served him.

Looking at the way things are today, it appears evildoers are getting the upper hand and becoming bolder and unchallengeable in many places. Truths are being diluted and righteousness mocked and trampled over. This daily increase of evil has weakened the faith of many Christians and made their love to wax cold as predicted by Christ.

This revelation about the final defeat of Satan should be a cheering comfort to all believers. We should be encouraged and strengthened to stand firm in faith and in righteousness because Jesus has defeated Satan who will ultimately be made to suffer eternal punishment for all the wickedness he has done. Therefore, believers can have present victory over his works before the final day of eternal punishment.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
