Morning,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday when I was reading the Hell book,* I came across the section “Who is in charge of Hell?”\u00a0 It says, “Satan has nothing to do with Hell. In fact, he will never even go there.\u00a0 At the end of this age, Satan will not be thrown into Hell but will directly be cast into the Lake of Fire, which is not Hell but a place into which Hell itself will ultimately be cast (Rev. 20:14).”\u00a0 I thought how good it is to know the truth about the Devil!\u00a0 There are so many spooky myths about him.\u00a0 It has been ingrained in people’s hearts and minds that the Devil and God are in a battle and that Satan is over Hell as God is over Heaven and they are adversaries, when in fact, he is not even in Hell.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the book, you explain that Satan (the Devil) was in heaven and was cast down\u00a0to earth,<\/u>\u00a0not into Hell,\u00a0by God.\u00a0 There is no war going on in Hell with Satan in charge.\u00a0 It’s funny when you think about it, really.\u00a0 If you take the Scriptures and put them together, as you have done in the Hell book, you can see that Satan is not in Hell and has nothing to do with it.\u00a0 In short, the\u00a0Devil is never even going to go to Hell, and he has nothing at all to do with it.\u00a0 That’s a new and big thought for many.\u00a0 So, that should lead you to the question,\u00a0If he is not in Hell, where is he?<\/em>\u00a0 And, if he is “is walking to and fro in the earth . . . seeking whom he may devour”, how is he doing that?\u00a0 That’s the big question.\u00a0 If we can get our minds off of the Devil and his pitchfork, and the notion that he has any kind of power against God, we can focus more on the actual “works of the Devil”, and where they are hidden.\u00a0 What a clever facade he hides behind, one propagated most by undiscerning believers!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so thankful that I never worry about the Devil and that I was never taught that the Devil was in control of anything that has to do with me.\u00a0 That is a terrible, worrisome fear for many.\u00a0 I love thinking that God is in control of my life, and concentrating on what can I do to please Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

God help us to look where the real power is!\u00a0 Again, I am thankful for the truth.\u00a0 Without that, we would be lost in\u00a0the midst of myths.<\/span><\/p>\n
