Destroy the Enemy

In Hebrews 2:14, we learn that the devil has "the power of death." This is true, because sin brought death, and Satan is the author of sin. Death is not a friend, but a deadly enemy. The apostle Paul says, "the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." 1 Corinthians 15:26. Death is the child of sin, and Satan is its father. Only the power of God can bring the dead from "the land of the enemy," at the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:22-26.

But some glad day sin and death and Satan will be destroyed together. Paul declared that Christ, by His death, opened the way by which He "might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil."

Past, Present and Future, 109, James E White, Southern Publishing Association, 1915
