I have decided to have my first real post be a semiserious one. This blog will be a mixture of what is going in my life at any given time, and some things that I have started to realize about how the world works, oh and when I make a fool of myself. So it will mostly be the last one.
Something that I have been learning more and more about this past year is the supremacy of God. His sovereignty is unmatched and unrivaled. Society and even the church today have a habit of giving the devil more credit than what is due to him. We think of him as an equal to God. God is all that is good and loving and looks out for us, but the devil is all that is bad and evil and is always trying to get us. Why both statements are true, they are not a fair comparison. The simple fact is that the Devil is no eternal. He is a created being, just like you, just like me. He has to sit under the same constraints of that we do, meaning anything given or taken from him is directly effected by God. As weird as this may sound, the devil is just another created servant doing Gods will. Gods perfect will is that he would have all of his creations worshiping him, declaring His glory out of there own desire to do so. The bible declares that there will be a time when every tongue will confess the glory of God. The bible also declares that God will at a point take away his gift of salvation from the earth. Before people start calling me a heretic or anything like that let me explain. In revelation, the people who receive the mark of the beast or reject God enough, will have there heart hardened like pharaoh and not be able to receive the grace. So all there will be a lot of people who are declaring the name of God in vain, trying to save there own neck. The devil will be one of these creatures, alongside all of us, giving God his rightful Due.
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him…” Rev 20 1-3.
To me this is one of the best scripture to declare Gods ultimate power over the devil. In this passage we have described for us the defeat of Satan. Who is the person who conquers satan? An angel, God is so much more powerful than the devil, that he does not himself stoop to capturing him, he allows another created being the opportunity to do it. This is the greatest slap in the face of the devil I believe. Here he is, creating armies, deceiving nations, all in the hopes to defeat God, and take his throne. Jesus rides out in battle as described in Rev 19, but that can only be described as complete victory, with him simply speaking, the armies of the Beast are destroyed. The devil never had any footing, never had any chance.
Sorry if this was all confusing and what not, but I would like to know what you all thought about it!
