     This passage gives us a scene of how the beast, Satan is finally defeated. No matter how hard Satan tries, no matter how cunning he is and no matter how many people he deceived, he is going to be defeated in God's time.

Let's take a look at what Bishop N.T. Wright says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N._T._Wright ) :

    

      Once you understand who Jesus was and is, and the significance of the victory which he has won in his death, there can be no doubt about the final outcome.  Monstrous regimes may come and go.  Lies and deceits will continue to be spread.  We must be on our guard.  But the King of kings and Lord of lords will be victorious.  In the meantime, there must be no compromise. 

N.T. Wright. Revelation for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2011, p.175.

    If you are under some kinds of attack from Satan's dark force, you can relax now. Why? Because the final outcome of all Satan's work will be failed. Be assured that this will happen. 

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe":  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmax47l2hLU

Spiritual Journal

    The title I heard from Jesus today is: Satan, game over

    What I receive from Jesus today is a wonderful assurance that Satan will soon be defeated and destroyed. It is somewhat like Satan is playing a game with you leading you to a trap. But, if you can stand firm and do not make any compromise with him, then at last he will be defeated, by Jesus, game over.

    Remember, what you need is to stand firm, no compromise, and he will be game over! If not, you will be game over! 
      

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to stand firm and be willing to make no compromise with Satan's cunning tricks. You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. Only you can defeat him.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
