Rev 20:10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
The beast and the false prophet are the governments and false religions composed of people. The leader of those groups is Satan
(who receives his power and dominion from God) and will cause torment upon those 2 groups, and others, day and night. Thats his job.
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which
the LORD God had made."
"Thou hast been in the garden of God ; every precious stone was thy covering.............the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in
the day that
thou wast created."
"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that
thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
The iniquity that was found in him was put there in order to serve the purposes of God.
Satan who is a created being can do nothing that he is not allowed or even instructed to do, i.e. Job, and the crucifixion of Jesus. And both were for the benefit of
the receivers of that evil.
Indeed there is no
true God other than the Father and everything that exists came from him, evil included. And if it continues to exist its because it has a purpose to
fulfill in his plan/will. Isaiah 45:7
".............all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and
by him all things consist."
"........
.I have created the waster to destroy."
" What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?"
Consider that one single angel tosses Satan into prison for 1000 yrs and then he is let out to deceive the nations once again. Why?
Why did Jesus just not destroy him when he was glorified and had been given all power in heaven and earth 2000 yrs ago?
He is as necessary to your internal battle of spirit vs flesh as air is to your continued existence. Without the waster as an adversary there is no maturing taking place
because there is nothing to overcome temptation wise. Jas 1:2
This is why all the people born during the millennial reign will not come to spirit birth even though they are there with Jesus and the firstborn sons of God. They will die
and be consumed by the fire that comes from heaven at the battle.
After resurrection which is right after that they are judged according to their works and tossed into the second death, which is the repeat of what you see today
with Satan being the inflicter of evil upon the elect of God as God brings forth another harvest of sons.
Some things must be read spiritually and not physically in order to get what is being said.
Example: why judge according to works if they are not written in the lambs book of life? Why judge at all just toss em in and skip judging.
Judged according to works is a clue as to what level of spiritual maturity was achieved during the first death and they will be restored to that place to begin again
exactly where they left off.
In the second death all flesh will have seen Jesus and the firstborn sons of God, and as Jesus states "He that has believed without seeing is more blessed than he
that must see to believe." This is part of the better resurrection issue. Not that we can choose to be in the first as it is God who does the choosing and Jesus
perfects.
Ever wonder why God took credit for destroying Job, when it was Satan that did the killing and inflicting of all evil upon him and his house? Job 2:3, 2:7
Ever wonder why Jesus said his crucifixion was a thing of God, but the betrayal was from Satan and the crucifixion was a result of evil?
Did Job get a seeing relationship with God from his trials, where before it was only a relationship based upon hearing? Job 42:5
Do you suppose that in order for Jesus to learn obedience and be perfected he needed to suffer, Heb 5:8-9 and thus was inflicted with betrayal, pain, agony, separation
from God etc...He was handed over to Satan for destruction for his own maturing by the love of his Father. And we see how he turned out.
Satan must be restored to his original position before being cast to the earth to be the VP of evil. This is the only way that ALL THINGS can be reconciled.
IMO angels were never intended to be lost or saved they are just ministers of either good or evil according to their appointed task. The unclean spirits
know God and tremble, they know Jesus and bow to his authority, they have been witness to all that God has done as they along with Satan were with God
before being put in charge of the vanity that God subjected the earth to in hope that it will be set free by the manifesting of his first crop of sons. Rom 8:20-21
Isaiah 45:11 "Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker,
Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and
concerning the work of my hands
command ye me."
Bringing forth sons that glorify God the Father is the only reason the world or anything in it exists. As soon as that sinks in the rest becomes much clearer.
The Word was God is the expression John used to signify that Gods plan was to reproduce himself as it was spoken in a future tense, We see Jesus who was
declared to be a God as he had been perfected into the substance of God which is agape love thus the first or original blueprint. If we are to follow him to sit
in his throne as he sits in his Fathers throne we too must become agape love, and this is the will of God that we will become what he is. The tools he chooses
to use are not at fault as they are just tools used to perfect his sons.
Jesus forgave those that scourged and crucified him and we must do the same when the time comes to hang on our own cross. We are told to take up our
cross and follow him. That eventually led to Calgary where he was crucified, and you too will eventually find yourself hanging on that cross you carried
all those years as your perfection comes to a close and all because of the love of God for you. My ways and my thoughts are higher than yours.
If we stop to consider that Love begat love in that God begat Jesus who became a God as he became agape love then what should your end be if
begotten of God through the Spirit of his Son who is also love? Gal 4:6
Quit blaming the tools and realize that all comes from the Father to perfect whom he has chosen. And if that be you rejoice that he has bestowed that love
on you now.
