I'll be Happy when Satan goes to Hell

Yes, indeed. I will be happy when Satan goes to hell. His ticket to Hell is already bought and paid for. I hate the Devil, and it was good to be reminded this morning that his head is about to be smashed.

"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." Ro. 16:20

Satan is the tempter and destroyer and liar and stealer and killer and accuser. The tempter toward sin, the destroyer of all that is good, the lying inventor of endless heresy, the stealer of the seed of God's word, the killer of human beings, and the accuser of the brethren's days are numbered.

He has many names, and the day is coming when, according to Revelation, the one who "deceived" the earth will be "thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone" and there "will be tormented day and night forever and ever" (Rev. 20:10). This is a great promise. The promise given to Eve that her Seed, Jesus Christ, would bruise the Serpent's head has been fulfilled and is being fulfilled.

At the cross of Jesus Christ Satan has already been disarmed and his defeat has been secured, and at the end of the Age, Satan will be hurled, thrown, and cast into eternal torment. Paul, in his letter to the Romans, is reminding believers of this wonderful truth. Seeing the damage of the Devil can be discouraging, and Paul wants the church to be encouraged. Ultimate peace is coming from the God who purchased peace. The roaring lion who seeks to devour and kill the saints of God, indeed all who are made in God's image, will be silenced.

Be encouraged the defeat of Satan draweth nigh, absolute peace is coming to permeate the new heavens and the new earth. Therefore "resist the Devil and he will flee from you," because the Devil will soon be crushed by God under--isn't this amazing--your (the church's) two feet (James 4:7).

Yes, I'll be happy when Satan goes to Hell.
