The Overthrow of Satan
Just when it appears that the devil
Is forever bound he continues to
Deceiving the nations into lining
Up with the emperor rather than Christ.
Gog and Magog were ancient enemies
Of God’s people. They are a symbol
Of barbarous people who rally with
The Devil about the camp of the saints.
But fire came down from heaven and
Devoured them. And the devil who
Deceived them was cast into the lake
Of burning sulfur; tormented day and night.
It is not worldly power, but heavenly
Power which destroyed the devil.
It is Lightning that falls from heaven,
God ordered; God’s Judgment.
Satan is cast into the lake of fire
And brimstone to writhe forever
With Domitian and leaders of
Enforced state worship.
The forces of evil and good have
Met; the battle fought. The redeeming
Lamb has triumphed over the devil,
And marches to eternal victory.
