Hi Marlene and Claudia,
Many think that GOD Is in a titanic struggle with Satan and it is evenly balanced. The Truth is
very different; the Adversary too has His place in The LOF. The Lamb Slain From The Foundation
Of The World Is our Victory Now and for The Ages of Ages. The Scriptures below say it best:1Jn 2:1 (MKJV)My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Hos 13:14 (CLV)From the hand of the unseen will I ransom them; from death will I redeem them. Where is your plague, O Death? Where is your sting, O Unseen? Regret shall be concealed from My eyes."
Zec 3:1 (GNB)1 In another vision the LORD showed me the High Priest Joshua standing before the angel of the LORD. And there beside Joshua stood Satan, ready to bring an accusation against him.
2 The angel of the LORD said to Satan, "May the LORD condemn you, Satan! May the LORD, who loves Jerusalem, condemn you. This man is like a stick snatched from the fire."
1Co 15: 53-55 (CLV)53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality."
54 Now, whenever this corruptible should be putting on incorruption and this mortal should be putting on immortality, then shall come to pass the word which is written, Swallowed up was Death by Victory."
55 Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?
Heb 2:14 (CLV)Since, then, the little children have participated in blood and flesh, He also was very nigh by partaking of the same, that, through death, He should be discarding (defeating) him who has the might (power over) of death, that is, the Adversary,
Rev 2:10-11 (CLV)10 Fear nothing that you are about to be suffering. Lo! the Adversary is about to be casting some of you into jail that you may be tried, and you will be having affliction ten days. Become faithful until death, and I shall be giving you the wreath of life."
11 '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias (Churches). "'"The one who is conquering may under no circumstances be injured by the second death."
Rev 20:2-3 (CLV) 2 And he lays hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Adversary and Satan, and binds him a thousand years."
3 And he casts him into the submerged chaos and locks it, and seals it over him (lest he should still be deceiving the nations) until the thousand years should be finished. After these things he must be loosed a little time."
Rev 20:10 (CLV)And the Adversary who is deceiving them was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the wild beast and where the false prophet are also. And they shall be tormented day and night for the eons of the eons."
