The End of the Age
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations…and to gather them for battle.
Revelation 20:7-8, NIV
The Coming Golden Age will end with one final rebellion against God. For reasons we don’t fully understand, Satan will be released from his prison and deceive many people once again. He will try to reenact the Battle of Armageddon, hoping for a better outcome. John said, “But fire came down from heaven and devoured them” (Revelation 20:9, NIV). At last the devil will be tossed into hell with the Beast and False Prophet, and we’ll be rid of him for good—forever!
As we engage in spiritual warfare now, let’s keep our eyes on the Victor. Jesus defeated Satan by His death and resurrection. The victory is already ours. John, the author of the book of Revelation, also said, “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true” (1 John 5:19-20, NIV).
Rejoice today, for the Victor is near us!
You are not fighting for victory, but from victory, for Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan!
