“And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.”
Joshua 21:44 KJV
So Yahweh gave Israel all the land He had promised their ancestors. They took possession of their land and settled there. Yahweh kept His promise and gave them peace in the land. Not one of their enemies could stand against them. In Christ all our enemies are under our feet, even though our offensive war continues. Our glorified Saviour sits at the right Hand of God till all His enemies are made His footstool. God works through Christ’s Body, the Church, and will completely crush satan under His feet. God planned the entire history of the devil before the creation of the world. God sent His Son to destroy all the works of the devil and strip him of all his authority. Now satan has very little time to deceive the world and persecute the Church. In Christ we are to resist, drive out and destroy instead of allowing him to roam around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may destroy. At the end of this age, satan will be bound up for a thousand years in the abyss. Finally satan will be put into the lake of fire to be eternally tormented. Let’s labour to enter into the rest and peace of Christ. Our war is over, it was won at the Cross. Let’s believe it and reign in righteousness. Amen!
