This verse is the culmination of chapter twenty-six where the Lord described the resurrection of the Old Testament Saints as well as the Tribulation Saints just before He will set up His Messianic Kingdom. All crimes of men will be revealed and the Lord Himself will take back control of the earth. It has been the anointed Cherub who became Satan’s domain for many years and now he will be judged. There’s only one supreme Lord over all the world, and that’s God. With the Creation of man that this whole concept of dominion was given to Adam and Eve. Man was given dominion over the earth to represent God’s reign on this planet. Since Satan beguiled Eve and sin entered the world human kind became subjected to the power of Satan. That power of Satan was dealt a fatal blow by Christ in his incarnation. Satan’s authority and power are limited and subordinate to the authority that is vested in Christ. People are giving more allegiance to the prince of darkness than to the Prince of Peace, but that is an act of usurpation on the part of Satan. His power is restricted, limited, and temporal. The Church is given the power to avoid Satan’s grip as we are told to “resist the Devil and he will flee” (James 4:7). Many do not heed the commands and suffer the Devil’s plan to destroy us and our testimony.
