I think I really love this reference. In my previous post, I wrote about the Second Coming and when the righteous will gain rest from the Lord. In this reference (and some surrounding verses), it talks about Lucifer and a little bit of what he can expect. Basically, in modern terms, we will ask ourselves "What was so scary about satan", and "How did he gain such power over some people, including ourselves at times"? We will realize that he is one individual, and shouldn't have had that much influence.
The fact that we give him such power in this world is kind of crappy. I know that there must be opposition in all things, but we give him so much power to tempt us and to scare us. Is it really that difficult, at the end of the day, to know what we should and shouldn't do?
Let's all think about satan this way right now, not just at some future time when we have a little better perspective. We have enough of our own stuff to worry about. Let's not give him any more power than he should have.
