V. Jesus the Victor
Jesus endured the agonies of His sacrifice and arose the victor over Satan’s domain. He purchased our salvation with His own blood. He will soon return to take His rightful place as King of creation.

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

A. Defeated death and hell
Matthew 28:5–6; Mark 16:6; 1 Corinthians 15:54–57; Revelation 1:18

B. Defeated Satan
Jesus began to get the upper hand over Satan when He came to Earth to live a perfect, sinless life in Satan’s domain (Luke 10:17–20). Even though Satan still is the god or prince of this world, he lost the battle for the lives of the redeemed of God when Christ died on the cross (John 12:27–33; 14:29–31; 16:7–11; Romans 8:37–39; 1 John 5:4). He will not lose the war until the end of the millennium when he will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10–15). However when Christ arose from the dead, His final victory over Satan was assured (Revelation 12:9–12).

C. Openly showed His victory
Psalms 98:1–2; Isaiah 52:10; Matthew 27:52–53; Acts 1:1– 3; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8

D. Will return in great power and great glory
Matthew 24:27–30; Mark 13:24–26; Luke 21:25–28; Revelation 19:11–21

E. Every eye shall see Him
Zechariah 12:10; Revelation 1:7
