\"violenceIn Part 1 of this short series called “Satan Casts out Satan<\/a>” we saw that although Satan stole dominion over the earth from Adam and Eve, Satan loves nothing more than to use violence to get rid of violence, and in so doing, consolidate and amplify his own power over the earth. One way he does this is through violent religion. This post looks a little more at this topic. <\/p>\n

God’s Activity in Satan’s Dominion<\/h2>\n

God was not inactive during this endless cycle of Satan using religion to “cast out Satan.” He constantly sent messengers, individuals, people, and even nations in an attempt to spread light and love in this dark world. But it is in these instances where Satan\u2019s power really worked. Satan loved nothing more than to use redemptive violence against those whom God had sent so that God\u2019s messengers were killed in God\u2019s name (Matt 21:33-46, 23:34-37). How did Satan do this? Through religion.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s message to the world has always been a message of grace, love, mercy, forgiveness, and acceptance. But Satan has always taken God\u2019s message and perverted it so that it becomes a twisted set of rules, regulations, sacrifices, and laws by which mankind seeks to regain God\u2019s love and favor.<\/p>\n

But whenever God sent messengers and prophets to proclaim grace to the world, religion reared up to condemn God\u2019s message of grace as false, heretical, contrary to God\u2019s will, and of the devil. Then, having used religion to convert God\u2019s messenger into a messenger of Satan, Satan used religious redemptive violence to kill and destroy God\u2019s messenger in the name of God.<\/p>\n

Satan turns God\u2019s messenger into \u201cSatan,\u201d and then uses violent religion to destroy this newly minted \u201cSatan.\u201d It is in this way that Satan \u201ccasts out Satan,” and once again, protects and consolidates his own power in the world.<\/p>\n

\"religion-facts-christianity-joan-of-arc\"So by causing violence to be ascribed to God, and by using violent religion to \u201ccast out Satan,\u201d Satan had developed the perfect cycle of violence from which there seemed to be no escape. When bad things happened, it was God\u2019s fault. And when God sent messengers to proclaim His truth and love, Satan vilified them until they too were killed in the name of God. This beautiful lie was perpetrated upon the world and carried out in plain view over and over and over since time began.<\/p>\n

Satan Turned Religion against Jesus<\/h2>\n

But when Jesus arrived, He began to unmask the lie and pull back the curtains on Satan\u2019s scheme. He told people what God was really like. He invited people to turn away from violence, and live in love and forgiveness. He set people free from sin, from darkness, from slavery, and from hate. He called people to a new way of living.<\/p>\n

This, of course, was not something Satan could allow. It was not something Satan could permit. And so he resorted to the same ploy that had worked millions of times before. Every previous time that God had sent a messenger, Satan raised up religion to kill God\u2019s messenger in God\u2019s name. Satan did the same thing with Jesus, believing that such a plan would work as it always had before. He got religion to condemn Jesus as a son of Beelzebub, a blasphemer, an idolater, as one who was opposed to God and God\u2019s Word. And then Satan got religion to kill Jesus in the name of God. Satan used religion to turn Jesus into a \u201cSatan\u201d so that religion could then kill Jesus in the name of God. Once again, Satan sought to \u201ccast out Satan,\u201d and thus solidify and consolidate his power even further.<\/p>\n

And just as it had always done before, the plan worked beautifully.<\/p>\n

Almost too beautifully.<\/p>\n

One can almost feel the confusion of Satan in the end the Gospel accounts as Jesus, who has struggled and taught and healed against all the death and destruction and lies of the devil throughout His entire three years of ministry, now goes silently to the cross, like a lamb to the slaughter. Satan does not see the trap until it is too late.<\/p>\n

\"satanFor all of human history, Satan cast out Satan so that he might continually reinforce his own power, and reinsert himself into human structures and institutions, forever consolidating and expanding his own power and dominion over God\u2019s creation. But when he tried it with Jesus, he failed to recognize that he was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.<\/p>\n

Jesus Beat Satan at his own Game<\/h2>\n

Jesus, of course, knew what Satan was about. This is why He asked earlier in His ministry: \u201cHow can Satan cast out Satan?\u201d (Mark 3:23). Jesus asks this question, but never answers it. Why? Because the answer was the key to His victory over Satan. The initial answer to Jesus\u2019 question seems to be that \u201cSatan would not cast out himself. It would be foolish to do so. For if Satan cast out Satan, then his kingdom would crumble, his house would fall, and his power would come to an end.\u201d But Jesus knew, as did Satan, that the key to Satan\u2019s power was that Satan had been casting out Satan since the beginning of time, but blaming his violent overthrow upon God.<\/p>\n

But in the crucifixion of Jesus, when Satan tries once again to use violent religion to \u201ccast out Satan,\u201d this time in the scapegoat of Jesus Christ, Satan did not realize that his plan would backfire.<\/p>\n

When Satan attacked Jesus through the crucifixion, Satan believed he was conquering over Jesus and casting Jesus out of this world once and for all. But little did he know that Jesus, by submitting Himself as the willing scapegoat for all the violence, enmity, hatred, and evil of the world, was unmasking the power and dominion of Satan, and thus, defeating Satan even as Satan thought he was striking the victorious blow. <\/p>\n
