The End of the Devil






C.S. Lewis was right about the devil.  He said in Screwtape Letters that there are generally too approaches to the demonic.  One is to be overly obsessed with them.  The other is to act as if they don't exist.  Neither approach is reasonable.

The Bible is not objective about the work of Satan.  It is purely one-sided.  :-)  He is the enemy of God.

I don't have a need to give you every verse reference about the Devil. With the help of Accordance Here are are few:


Satan  (53)

Zech 3:2  Lord said to Satan,  “
you, O Satan! The Lord
Matt 4:10  gone,  Satan! For  
Matt 12:26  And if Satan casts out Satan, 
Satan casts out Satan, he is 
Matt 16:23   behind me, Satan! You are
Mark 1:13  tempted by  Satan. And he 
Mark 3:23  How can Satan cast out Satan

Mark 8:33   behind me, Satan! For you 
Luke 10:18  I saw Satan  fall like
Luke 11:18  And if Satan also is divided against
Luke 13:16  Abraham whom  Satan bound for eighteen
Luke 22:3  Then  Satan entered into  
Luke 22:31  behold,  Satan demanded to have

2 Cor 2:11  not be outwitted by Satan; for  we are not

1 Thess 2:18   again—but Satan  hindered us

Rev 2:13   was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Rev 2:24  deep things of Satan, to you
Rev 3:9  the synagogue of Satan who say that
Rev 12:9   the devil and Satan,  the 
Rev 20:2   the devil and Satan, and  
Rev 20:7  ended,  Satan will be released

Satan’s  (1)
Rev 2:13  dwell,  where Satan’s throne is. 

The reason for the post, however is to talk about his end.

There will be a day when the Devil will go away.  Death will be swallowed up in victory 
(1 Corinthians 15:50-58)

his end is inevitable.  his destruction is certain.  This was our Scripture reading @ Bethel this past Sunday. Be blessed to read of  his termination.


9 And  the great dragon was thrown down,  that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,  the deceiver of the whole world— he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.  10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now  the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers  has been thrown down,  who accuses them day and night before our God.  11 And  they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for  they loved not their lives  even unto death.
