Satan Thought -"It Was Finished!

Satan Thought “It Was Finished”

“And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last.  And the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. When the Centurion, was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed his last, He said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:37-39).

Hey Gang:  Do you think all the demons of hell rejoiced and threw a huge bash when Jesus cried out, “It is finished”?  Do you think Satan was busy sending out notices to his hoards that all vacations and all sick leaves were cancelled, and all his imps should assemble at the tomb with strict order to keep Him (Jesus) in the tomb for at least four days?

After thirty-three years of trying, they had finally been victorious.  But had they?  It was a day of rejoicing in the halls of Hades, but Satan knew it would be a short-lived victory; for he knew the prophecies of the Old Testament well. And he knew that this would be yet another “clock cleaning” on his way to his final “clock cleaning” and his date with the Lake of Fire.

I sense there is a growing cockiness growing in the halls of darkness once again.  One might say, with the things that are happening in our world, that Satan is on a roll. But again, I would remind you - Satan knows the battle has already been won! And it is only a matter of WHEN God chooses to send His Son to take back what is rightfully His and place the battered body of one Lucifer in a pit for a thousand years. 

We will soon celebrated Jesus’ Resurrection once again, God’s powerful victory over death.  If that does not get your thumper to thumping, then note this promise: “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, and remain will be a caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore, comfort one another with these words!” (I Thess. 4:16-18)

Wow, what an awesome day it will be when our Jesus we will see!

Blessings -remember after Friday comes Resurrection Sunday!
