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. 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. 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.
O, to look forward to that day, that glorious Day when finally Satan is thrown down into the fiery pit, the end of the power of the Father of Lies. Praise You, Lord Jesus, for You have been my cover and shield against these Lies, keeping me from harm. It will be finished—once again the Creation will sing in the joy of Shalom.
