[2] {devil}
Satan, Summary: This fearful being, apparently created one of the
cherubim
» See Note "Eze 1:5"
» See Note "Eze 28:12"
and anointed for a position of great authority, perhaps over the
primitive creation
» See Note "Ge 1:2"
note 3;
# Eze 28:11-15
fell through pride
# Isa 14:12-14
His "I will"
# Isa 14:13
marks the introduction of sin into the universe. Cast out of heaven
# Lu 10:18
he makes earth and air the scene of his tireless activity
# Eph 2:2 1Pe 5:8
After the creation of man he entered into the serpent
» See Note "Ge 3:1"
and, beguiling Eve by his subtilty, secured the downfall of Adam and
through him of the race, and the entrance of sin into the world of men
# Ro 5:12-14
The Adamic Covenant
» See Note "Ge 3:14"
promised the ultimate destruction of Satan through the
"Seed of the woman." Then began his long warfare against the work of
God in behalf of humanity, which still continues. The present
world-system
# Re 13:8
organized upon the principle of force, greed, selfishness, ambition,
and sinful pleasure, is his work and was the bribe which he offered
to Christ
# Mt 4:8,9
Of that world-system he is prince
# Joh 14:30 16:11
and god
# 2Co 4:4
As "prince of the power of the air"
# Eph 2:2
he is at the head of vast host of demons
» See Note "Mt 7:22"
To him, under God, was committed upon earth the power of death
# Heb 2:14
Cast out of heaven as his proper sphere and "first estate," he still
has access to God as the "accuser of the brethren"
# Re 12:10
and is permitted a certain power of sifting or testing the self-
confident and carnal among believers
# Job 1:6-11 Lu 22:31,32 1Co 5:5 1Ti 1:20
but this is strictly permissive and limited power, and believers so
sifted are kept in faith through the advocacy of Christ
# Lu 22:31,32
» See Note "1Jo 2:1"
At the beginning of the great tribulation Satan's privilege of access
to God as accuser will be withdrawn
# Re 12:7-12
At the return of Christ in glory Satan will be bound for one thousand
years
# Re 20:2
after which he will be "loosed for a little season"
# Re 20:3,7,8
and will become the head of final effort to overthrow the kingdom.
Defeated in this, he will be finally cast into the lake of fire, his
final doom. The notion that he reigns in hell is Miltonic, not
biblical. He is prince of this present world-system, but will be
tormented in the lake of fire.

[3] {great white throne} [4] {there was found no place for him}
The expressions, "the judgment," or, "day of judgment," as the passages
and their context show, refer to the final judgment of
# Re 20:11-15
[4]
The "day of destruction" is that aspect of the day of Jehovah
# Isa 2:12
» See Note "Re 19:19"
(Summary)
which visits final and eternal judgment upon the wicked. Three such
"days" are included in the "day" of Jehovah, and are
described in the references beginning with
# Isa 34:1-9
» See Note "Mt 25:32"
# Re 20:11
07906
[1] {judged}
The final judgment. The subjects are the "dead." As the redeemed
were raised from among the dead one thousand years before (v. 5), and
have been in glory with Christ during that period, the "dead" can
only be the wicked dead, from the beginning to the setting up of the
great white throne in space. As there are degrees of punishment
# Lu 12:27,48
the dead are judged according to their works. The book of
life is there to answer such as plead their works for justification,
e.g.
# Mt 7:22,23
an awful blank where the name might have been.
The Judgments, Summary: Among the many judgments mentioned in
Scripture, seven are invested with especial significance. These are:
(1) The judgment of the Believer's sins in the cross of Christ
» See Note "Joh 12:31"
(2) the believer's self-judgment
» See Note "1Co 11:31"
(3) the judgment of the believers' works
» See Note "2Co 5:10"
(4) the judgment of the nations at the return of Christ
» See Note "Mt 25:32"
(5) the judgment of Israel at the return of Christ
» See Note "Eze 20:37"
(6) the judgment of angels after the one thousand years
» See Note "Jude 1:6"
and (7) the judgment of the wicked dead with which the history
of the present earth ends.

[2] {second death}
Second death, Summary: "The second death" and the "lake of fire" are
identical terms
# Re 20:14
and are used of the eternal state of the wicked. It is "second"
relative to the preceding physical death of the wicked in unbelief
and rejection of God; their eternal state is one of eternal "death"
(i.e. separation from God) in sins
# Joh 8:21,24
That the second death is not annihilation is shown by a
comparison of
# Re 19:20 20:10
After one thousand years in the lake of fire the Beast and False
Prophet are still there, undestroyed. The words "forever and forever"
("to the ages of the ages") are used in
# Heb 1:8
for the duration of the throne of God, eternal in the sense of
unending.

Sanctification, holiness, Summary: (1) In both Testaments the same
Hebrew and Greek words are rendered by the English works "sanctify"
and "holy," in their various grammatical forms. The one uniform
meaning is, "to set apart for God." (2) In both Testaments the words
are used of "things" and "persons". (3) When used of things no moral
quality is implied; they are sanctified or made holy because set
apart for God.
(4) Sanctification when used of persons has a threefold meaning. (a)
In position, believers are eternally set apart for God by redemption,
"through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once"
# Heb 10:9,10
Positionally, therefore, believers are "saints" and "holy"
from the moment of believing
# Php 1:1 Heb 3:1
(b) In experience, the believer is being sanctified by the work of the
Holy Spirit through the Scriptures
# Joh 17:17 2Co 3:18 Eph 5:25,26 1Th 5:23,24
(c) In consummation, the believer's complete sanctification awaits
the appearing of the Lord
# Eph 5:27 1Jo 3:2
