The Devil's End

 

Today's verse is 20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    This is speaking of that same that said, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” None of this was ever achieved, however much he may have thought he had when he lead us to kill the Son of God. This is a small but significant part of the third woe, for this is the last that we hear of the Devil, for this is his end, as he will now ever without end be in torment, as will, soon after this, all that allowed themselves to be deceived by him. I implore you with all that is in me, do not be of that number! So come, and follow the King, accepting his pardon which he purchased by his own blood, that you may see that place he has prepared. A place with no more tears, no more death, nor sorrow, nor any more crying, nor any more pain: “for the former things are passed away.” Amen.

To God be the Glory
