According to Psalms 110 all enemies are going to be put under the feet of the Redeemer, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” (Mt. 22:44; Mk. 12:36).

In Heb. 2:8 it states, “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet … But now we see not yet all things put under him.” Now, at the end of the time of grace, the victory at Calvary, the victory of the crucified and resurrected Lord over all the powers of Satan, must be manifested in the believers. The stage of this battle will be the Church, the woman before whom Satan, the old dragon, stands, and who gives birth to those who are raptured (Rev. 12). In Rom. 16:20 the Apostle Paul writes, “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.”

Psalms 110 declares that all enemies are placed as a footstool under the feet of our Lord and Redeemer. Then we are told that it has not yet been manifested. And here we read that the God of peace Himself shall crush Satan under our feet. On the day of the fall, the Lord God said to the serpent, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Gen. 3:15). Enmity can only exist between the two entirely different seeds. The elect can never persecute others, for the love of God is poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:5). They are the ones who have always been persecuted. The completion of the Bride Church will happen in the perfect love of God, when the Lord crowns His Work of Redemption with the final victory.

The following applies to the true believers, “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace …” (Eph. 2:11-16). A child of God, born-again by the Word and the Spirit, becomes a new person, a peacemaker. The virtues of Jesus Christ are a divine reality and part of our lives. Whoever causes dissension and sows hatred and enmity is possessed and remains under the influence of the evil one.

We are now faced with the following questions:

Is there a “too late”?

Are there decisions that are final?

Are there some that can be revised and made anew?

Do we have influence on the matter whether the perfect or the permissive Will of God happens with us – or whether it does not happen at all?

Do we decide or know whether we are among the called or the chosen ones, the foolish or the wise virgins? Will it already be manifested now or not until the first or the second resurrection? The decision Lucifer made was final, which is why God did not once offer grace unto him. Therefore he does not know grace, forgiveness, or reconciliation, and the same applies to all those who are under his influence.

The fateful end of the adversary has been decided since the beginning: He shall be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:10). The destination of those here on earth who decided against God is also final: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Rev. 20:11-15). This will take place at the final judgement – there is no appellate court. Equally final is what the Lord has to say to the ones who have been given spiritual gifts but do not submit themselves to the Will of God: “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Mt. 7:21-23). How terrible will it be for those to whom the Lord will say, “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Mt. 25:41)! We should take God’s offer of grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation seriously and work out our salvation with fear and trembling and verify whether we are acting in our own will or in the Will of God!
