In the days of the kingdom the last Adam will be there. In His own perfect, stainless manhood, He came and stood among the ruins of a lost world, and was confronted by Satan, who had obtained his power over it, through the lusts of the first Adam when fallen (Luke 4). He stood in His inheritance, and found the "kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them" in the hands of Satan, sin-defiled and in ruins. He took it thus, with its load of sin and defilement, and died to redeem it. He foiled and vanquished Satan in the place of his power. He bound the strong man, and then proceeded to spoil him of his goods. The prince of this world came, but had nothing in Him. He went down into the domain of "him that had the power of death, that is the devil" (Heb. 2) and through death He destroyed his power. In due time He will cast him out of the heavenlies with his angel (Rev. 12) and when he has for a short period consummated his stupendous wickedness, in the revived Roman Empire, and the Antichrist, He will bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit till the thousand years of the kingdom are ended, and then He will cast him into the lake of fire. When Christ was here, He exhibited the "powers of the world to come," or of the kingdom, casting out evil spirits, miraculously feeding and healing man. When that day shall be here, Satan shall be in the bottomless pit, and "the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb [shall] sing." Isa. 35.
