His presence corrupts and will deprave all places where his attendance. is to be found. Jesus speaking of him proclaimed him to be lustful, a murderer, one who fell from the truth for no truth is to be found in him. He is not only a liar but the father and source of all lies.

A FIRE FROM YOUR MIDST. This one who was very familiar with the fire of the Lord is to be destroyed by a fire of his own instigation. A harvest is exactly according to the seed that is sown. The Devil is a source of trouble with a capital T. The fiery judgment of the Lord He demonstrated when He destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, turning them into ashes. 2 Peter 2:6 The fire of the Lord, a manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit is most pleasant and enjoyable. The fire of His judgment is most horrendous. The second coming, the rapture, will be a most glorious event for those who are in Christ. Those who are not in Christ will find it to be the worst moment of their lives and of the history of mankind on the earth. For He will come with flaming fire, an exceeding great and glorious moment for those who are ready. 2 Thess. 1:8 Satan, his angels and the unsaved inhabitants of the earth will be totally annihilated at that moment of time. Jude 6-7 They will suffer the vengeance of the Lord manifest in that eternal fire which is a part of His nature. The final destiny of the devil is the eternal lake of fire. Rev. 20:10 His power of death and hell are likewise cast in with him. Rev. 20:14 Also, the ungodly, those whose names are not written in the Lambs book of life are cast in to the lake of fire. Rev. 20:15 Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Likewise those who play with the God who is a flaming fire will suffer the vengeance of that same eternal fire. Heb. 12:29 Even the devil will reap a crop comparable to the seed which he has sown, as will all of mankind.
