There is a final attempt of the earthly opposers, led by Satan, to take over the earth. John describes the result as though it has already taken place, saying: “Fire came down out of heaven and devoured them.” And concerning the bruising of the head of “the original serpent,” the account says: “And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur.” (Rev. 20:9, 10) This means his complete destruction. Thus, in connection with the bruising in the head of God’s chief opposer there is not only a thorough ridding of the universe of opposers but also the complete sanctification of His most holy name. This fulfills completely the promise at Romans 16:20 to Christ’s joint heirs that “the God who gives peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.”—Heb. 2:14, 15.
