The Future of My Enemy

Scripture:

“Then the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the same place with the wild beast and the false prophet—the lake of fire and sulfur—where they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:10‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Observation:

Here John describes the final judgment on Satan.  Previous to this, he was bound for 1000 years during the Millenial reign of Christ.  Then he was released for a short season to deceive the nations.  After that, he is thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where they will be tormented day and night forever.

Application:

Sometimes, knowing the future of your enemy, gives you the strength to endure the current things going on around you.  Sometimes, during his attacks on the saints, we need to simply remind him who wins in the end.  We need to be confident that, even though we may have lost some battles, we win the war and he will be tormented forever and ever.  He will pay for everything he has brought into our lives.

Prayer:

Father, when times are hard, remind me that we win in the end and the enemy of our souls will finally be eternally defeated to rise no more.  I look forward to that day!  Teach me to walk in confidence and faith in this present life, knowing that in the future, we will win.

Yours,
Jeff
