Wars and rumors of war spark a last territorial bid of expansionism! The last vestige of independent national rule! Regardless of which calendar or scriptural tie in we consider, time is running out! Satan indeed wants to be worshipped by men but this being offset by his hatred of man, a wanting them destroyed! TR I wonder if the demons will continue to worship satan in Hell?! TR With Satan eventually imprisoned by the lake of fire and demons relegated to hell, they like men in their pride will refuse to admit they chose unwisely! TR It would seem that Satan will be openly mocked or so this passage in Isaiah implies, IMHO. Isaiah 14:12-17 New King James Version The Fall of Lucifer 12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. 16 “Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, 17 Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’ I imagine in hell the demons will constantly be attempting to overthrow satan. I will.... Yet hating their irreversible end as well, they being tormented will also lash out and torment! TR and I hope his attacks are insidiously tormenting coming from every direction where he doesn't even know where they are coming from Susan, I am not sure when you say "in hell", if you mean the lake of fire or the place where all the unsaved are now. If you mean the lake of fire, then I don't think the demons will be trying to overthrow Satan or do anything else. Everybody in there will be tormented day and night and have no rest from the torment. No one, I am sure not even the demons, will be able to plan or do anything. I am sure they won't even have communication with each other. They are all there for their eternal punishment. However, if you are talking about the place they are in now temporarily, then who knows? maybe. Hell and lake of fire are the same and I was just speculating, nothing more than wishful thinking that satan gets back what he dished out to all of us and attempting to rise in power above God. You are right being that demons and satan will be in their rightful place of eternal, inescapable torment. But I do believe they will be consciously aware of where they are and acknowledge who God is and forever separated from God and all forms of goodness. I believe initially hell was intended for spiritual beings and it is far worse than just a literal place. No hope in Hell! All hope in Heaven! TR
