It does concern me that we act like we have killed evil. In reality, evil still prevails in Satan. As evil as Bin Laden was, Satan is many, many times worse. He is the source of evil. We cannot truly celebrate the death of evil. Satan will strike again until his days are done.
However, I have been thinking deeply today about the day that we will celebrate the destruction of evil. The day Satan is thrown into the lake of fire forever and ever will be the day we can truly celebrate. We will not have to fear retaliation. We will not have to burden of sin in our life or this world again. That will be a time of celebrating in the streets and praising Jesus for His justice. As you watch the world deal with the death of Bin Laden, look forward to the real death to evil when Jesus brings justice on the Devil!
The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelations 20:10
