Satan’s ultimate fate was sealed when Christ suffered and died on the cross and then rose from the grave to walk and teach more before ascending to Heaven and sitting at His Throne. When Jesus was born;while He grew;while He talked;during His ministry;through His persecutions;through His sufferings;through His death;through His resurrection;and through His ascension, Jesus FULFILLED around 400 prophecies in the Old Testament. The odds of winning Powerball or Mega Millions lottery are about 1 in 290,000,000. The odds of ONE MAN fulfilling only 8 of the Old Testament Prophecies is 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000. Jesus fulfilled every single prophecy told about Him in the Old Testament, around 400!Those odds  have so many 0’s...so many that make it is absolutely MIRACULOUS PROOF of God’s Word being TRUE & THE ONLY MESSAGE worthy of seeking it’s TRUTHS...ESPECIALLY The Gospel of Christ! When Jesus fulfilled the prophecies about him, died and rose from the grave,HE SECURED FOREVER all of God’s Promises of Mercy and Grace for those that will decide to turn to Christ and TRUST HIM with their minds/hearts/lives! AND in doing all of this, Jesus provided Satan’s ultimate personal defeat! Satan is furious that his scheming to kill Jesus as a baby failed...his scheming to tempt Jesus failed...his scheming to break Jesus’ resolve through temptations, persecutions, torture, & a horrible death failed...that death failed to hold Jesus in the grave...and that Jesus’ Power overcame all Satan could muster against Him when Jesus ascended to Heaven and sent HIS Holy Spirit to be our strength and our helper in finding and clinging to Faith in Jesus as we seek to find, and live through the purposes this current life has for us(Romans8:28).Now that Satan knows he has suffered his personal ultimate defeat, he is LIVID/FURIOUS&VINDICTIVE! Jesus has defeated all of Satan’s schemes to have sin reign forever & to take humankind totally away from the Mercies&Graces of God that Jesus Secured as absolute promises for those that decide to Earnestly Trust that Christ is The Messiah,& that HE has personally provided The Only Way to know the Eternal Securities that the Bible Promises.>Revelation 12:10-17

“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.... But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman(all humankind )who had given birth to the male child. The woman was given the two wings(including God’s Great Mercy &Grace)of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness(God’s Promises), where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach.Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water(deceptions;lies;evil schemes)like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent.....Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war(temptations;deceptions;persecutions)against the rest of her offspring-those who keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus”! One of Jesus’ reasons for giving us the Book of Revelation is to warn us about what Satan is up to currently!

Satan knows God’s Greatest Heart Desire is for all to Trust in His Promises through Christ. So Satan has turned his VINDICTIVE SCHEMES on us! Satan knows how it hurts God’s Heart so deeply for even one to turn away from God’s Provision of Saving Mercy and Grace (Isaiah45:22,”“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;

For I am God, and there is no other.”;2Peter3:9,”The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,...not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”)! So, since Satan cannot effectively focus on Jesus personally any more, he is now focusing on Jesus’ Heart for humankind, including those that decide to turn to Christ as Savior & Lord! Satan’s evilness now has a single focus -> to hurt the Heart of God by going after the Desire of God’s Heart, that being for everyone come to repentance through the Mercy of The Gospel of Christ. SO, Jesus gives us these verses in Revelation that we may KNOW everything God teaches through HIS Word is TRUE & TRUSTWORTHY for our benefits AND for our protection against the devil’s schemes! The unfathomable odds of The Bible being true have been statistically proven by Jesus! Therefore,the LIFE/SUFFERINGS/DEATH/RESURRECTION/ASCENSION of Jesus are calling us into God’s Word to discover all GOD gives for us through HIS Word for our GOOD!Because of this, God’s TRUTHS are the core at which all of Satan’s schemes are focused! Therefore, we must make seeking God in His Word a priority! Seeking His wisdom; encouragement; lessons; discernment; truths about life; truths about purpose; and Especially TRUTHS about His Love...all within the pages of God’s Word! When we fail to make Bible Study and Prayer a priority of every day, we enhance the “odds” of Satan’s schemes having their way in our life. Dear Lord,I pray that reading Your Word in the mornings become more than a box to check off! May Your Spirit remind me of the Awesome significance of Your Word...and that You have miraculously provisioned Your Word and Prayer to be for my personal protection and for my good.
