And just as Jesus stated, the gospel went out into all the world to Jews and Gentiles everywhere. The Spirit brought new believers into the church daily and still does so today. Jesus accomplishes what He says He will do. He is the faithful sovereign of creation.
In the book of Revelation we find out the final end of Satan and the wicked angels. They are judged and thrown into the lake of fire to be tormented forever. The unrepentant, unbelieving people will also go there. In the new creation, God and the saints will never encounter these beings ever again. Their rebellion towards God is ended. No more can the devil deceive the nations. No more can he add one more human to his miserable fate. All of God's enemies will be crushed under the feet (authority) of Jesus Christ. He will be the sole King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
2 Thess. 8 tells us the way Jesus returns as a CHAMPION to defeat the Wicked One, not as a meek "lamb" but as the Lion of Judah, with the Spirit of His mouth that will consume Him and extreme brightness that has great power to destroy.
Rev. 19:11-16 Describes Jesus coming as a VICTORIOUS warrior who vanquishes His foes and uses an iron rod to rule creation.
It is Jesus who will judge angels and men. He is the Righteous One, the Almighty, Who was, and is and Who is to come. Rev. 1:8. he ascribes to Himself throughout the NT names and titles that are attributed to Yahweh in the OT repeatedly, as in this verse.
So, Our God is the VICTOR over all of creation. Throughout eternity we will give God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit glory, honor, glory and praise, acknowledging that He alone has all glory, power, wisdom, authority over all of creation. He alone is to be worshipped. He alone will we be enthralled with forever. He will always be the light of our Life, the Redeemer of the Church, the Only Savior, the First and the Last-there is no God before Him and no God after Him. Our Triune God is ALL we have and ALL we need.
Pt. 11
