Fragment: Setting Aside Satan's Power in a Twofold Way

Note, when the Lord comes, He sets aside Satan's power in the twofold way—as having the power of death, whether by changing and not letting die, or by raising; He has overcome in resurrection, having undergone the power of death—as god and prince of this world, he will cease to be, and be cast out by Christ's reign. This He overcame in the temptation in the wilderness, binding the strong man and spoiling his goods. So He will, as to death, of all, even the wicked. Satan's power, in every sense, will be gone as to them. In the first death, it is not, though his worldly power was. When all power of evil is set aside, good will simply flow—flow, I doubt not, through Him to us as Man, but God will be "all in all."
