3. In Rev. 20:10 we find the ultimate destiny of the Devil: +"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."+ Here is one of the points at which the theories of the "Reconciliation" people and "Universalists" generally break down. The argument of the Reconciliationists and Universalists, by which they attempt to prove that all men must ultimately be saved, carried to its logical issue, if it proved anything, would prove the salvation of Satan also, and this many of them do teach. They say plainly that the Devil will ultimately be brought to repentance and saved. Indeed that is what I believed and taught in my early ministry. But this passage which we have just read shows the impossibility of this being true. "The lake of fire" was "prepared for the Devil and his angels." Our Lord Himself says in Matt. 25:41 that when He comes back to judge this world He will say to those on His left hand: +"Depart from me, ye cursed into the eternal fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels."+ Hell was not prepared for men, but for the Devil and his angels. If any man goes there it will be because he has chosen to cast in his lot with the Devil rather than with God. Therefore they go where the Devil goes. Every one who rejects Jesus Christ is throwing in his lot with the Devil. VI. HOW TO GET VICTORY OVER THE DEVIL Now just for a few moments let me show you from the Word of God, _how, in practical every day life, to get the victory over the Devil_. There are four things to be borne in mind. 1. Read first, James 4:7, +"Be subject therefore unto God: but resist the devil, and he will flee from you."+ This teaches us that, _we are first of all to surrender to God and then to resist the Devil and that, if we do resist him, for all his cunning and power, he will flee from us_. Although the Devil is strong, it is ours in God's strength to withstand him and overcome him.
