Satans Story: Self-deceived Deceiver

PDF

Why does Satan persist in his rebellion against God? Doesn’t he realize there is no hope in his attempt to dethrone the Creator of the universe?

Satan may be the great deceiver, but he himself is the most deceived being in the universe. There is no deception greater than self-deception, and Satan has convinced himself that he can ultimately triumph.

But he is doomed. No matter what he throws at God, it will be tossed right back into his face, and it will be converted to the glory of Jesus.

Satan in Hell

Consider the Cross. Satan manipulated the murder of God’s Son. He thought he had achieved his greatest victory. But through the power of the Resurrection, God converted the most dastardly act of history into one of history’s most glorious events.

Satan has got to be the most frustrated creature in all of God’s creation. It is no wonder that Psalm 2 tells us that while Satan plots and schemes against God and His Anointed One, the Creator sits in Heaven and laughs! (Psalm 2:4). His laughter is not motivated by a lack of concern. He laughs because He has the wisdom and power to orchestrate all the evil of Satan to the triumph of His Son.

I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, “My purpose will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure”…
Truly I have spoken;
Truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, surely I will do it.
(Isaiah 46:9b-11)

  • Hello Dr. Reagan,
    I read your posts about the weather and the post about the red moons… I think the greatest sign we have ever been given occurred in 2010 when great amounts of Oil and Gas were discovered in Israel. 122 trillion cubic feet of Gas by estimates from Russia and our own USGS. Ezekiel 38 and 39 is really likely to occur soon since Israel will have a great amount of wealth to put the hooks in the jaws of Russia to pull them down. I wrote an article on the following site if you are interested: http://howlongolord.com/?p=219
