Re: Has Jesus defeated Satan?
Satan has been defeated, but will not be destroyed until the time comes for his destruction and punishment, of which time only Christ knows.
It is like this analogy: Satan is like a dog tied to a chain.... he is barking, and roaring like a lion, and he still has all the power he ever had... yet, his power and scope are diminished... he is subject to the name of Christ. He can still torment, and destruct within the circle of the chain he is allowed to go.
But one day his punishment is coming, and he will be destroyed, and punished once and for all. For now, he is simply contained, and being held back by a "leash" if you will... because of Calvary.
