Rhapsody of Realities 27 November 2025: Satan is Completely Defeated

SCRIPTURE:  Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

If anyone were to ask, “Why didn’t God destroy Satan from the beginning?” the answer lies in one profound truth: Satan was anointed. The Bible calls him “…the anointed cherub….” And part of what the anointing does is that it protects. God gave Satan an unction that couldn’t be destroyed or undone arbitrarily.

God doesn’t fight Himself. His gifts and calling are without repentance (Romans 11:29). That’s why Satan hasn’t been outrightly destroyed. He had a divine unction that even rebellion didn’t immediately cancel. Instead, God set in motion a redemptive plan. He brought in One who was anointed to defeat Satan on legal and spiritual grounds.

Consider the account in Jude 1:9 that says Michael the archangel contended with Satan over the body of Moses. The Bible says Michael didn’t bring a railing accusation against Satan, but rather, he said, “…The Lord rebuke thee.” That’s because Satan had gained a legal position of authority.

When Adam fell through high treason, he handed over his God-given dominion to Satan. Satan, at that point, gained something higher than being an anointed cherub; he gained Adamic authority, which elevated him to a higher rank than angels. Michael recognized this. Though he was a high-ranking archangel, he understood the legality of Satan’s claim. So, he invoked a higher authority — the Lord’s Name. And in that Name, we’re superior to Satan, and we rule over him.

So, the first reason God didn’t destroy Satan was because of the anointing. The second was the authority Satan gained through Adam’s fall. But God’s plan wasn’t thwarted. The Lord Jesus, the second Adam, came, born of the Spirit, anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, and defeated Satan legally, spiritually, and eternally. The most beautiful part is that we did it together, for we were in Him in His death, burial, resurrection, and ultimate victory over Satan, hell, and the demons of darkness. Therefore, you have completely, permanently, and eternally defeated Satan.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and depth of your Word. I recognize your justice, your power, and your unchanging commitment to righteousness. Thank you for sending the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, for the salvation of mankind, giving us dominion and authority over Satan and his cohorts. I walk in that victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
