Satan's Never-Ending Torture

Fie, Satan! You liar and deceiver!
Did you really think God would leave you free?
The world's greatest griever and bereaver,
No accounting, or day of judgment, see?
When all men's remains once more stand erect
Before the Lord on the throne you desired;
Endless years of torture your sole prospect;
In the burning sulphur lake you inspired;
Deprived of honors that were yours on high;
Among those you brought to this awful place;
Without God or mercy He might supply;
Will you at least rue your foolish disgrace?
None in heaven will grieve your hopeless lot,
Nor shall hell deplore the justice you got!

So Lucifer at last faced his jusge, the Lord he dared to atempt overthrowing. It will take place at the Final Judgment when all men will learn where they will spend all eternity. The devil, the fallen angels, and all men who rejected Jesus Christ will be cast into the fire of the burning lake of sulphur, from which thee is no escape or relief. Resurrected earlier at the Second Coming to earth of Jesus, those who accepted Him as Lord received bodies that do not tire or grow weak or ever die; the earth will be prepared for them to live forever with Jesus, who is the one God of this world.

"And the devil, who deceived them,was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)

You may be wondering why God didn't kill Lucifer immediately after his defeat in heaven. Angels were created by God to live forever. However, God could certainly have killed him had He wanted. He was cast to the earth in order to provide an alternative choice for man, who by free will can choose good or evil. Not that man, by choosing good, would behave good, but that, by repenting of sin, confessing them, and accepting the lordship of Jesus, would be forgiven his sins. There is a reason for Satan to live; it is that by his deception, he provides a tough test for man. If a man chooses to enjoy the things Satan provides in this world rather than the things God asks a man to do, then he chooses his destiny---he condemns himself to hell.

This world is for us a brief pause in eternity, during which we are tested for heaven or hell. Satan is a tool of God; he provides us the test.
