Isaiah 14:1-23
We
read, Lord, about “the king of Babylon” (Isaiah 14:4) – and we see
Satan. He is full of pride – “I will climb to the highest heaven and be
like the Most High.” He is fallen – “How you are fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer.” He will be brought to nothing – “you will be brought down to
the pit f hell … ” (Isaiah 14:12-15). We look at the king of Tyre – and,
again, we see Satan – “you were on the holy mountain of God … you
sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God … your
heart was proud … you have come to a dreadful end … ” (Ezekiel
28:12-19). We look beyond Satan (the devil) – and we see Jesus, our
great Saviour. By “the authority of Christ,” Satan “has been thrown
down.” In Christ, we have the victory over Satan: “they have conquered
him by the blood of the Lamb … “(Revelation 12:7-12). Thank You, Lord,
for Your Son, Jesus – and the great victory over Satan that He has won
for us.
