Now, will the ruler of the world be cast out? We actually see further irony, for we know that the cross, in some sense, was Satan's idea. Remember Luke 22:3 says that it was Satan who entered into Judas before he went to set out to betray Christ. So, the cross appears to be the triumph of Satan, the triumph of evil successfully murdering God the Son. But in a dramatic twist, the cross will actually be the defeat of Satan, like Haman hanging on the gallows which he built for Mordecai. Satan's schemes, in this case, will be his own downfall. There is a real sense in which the coming of the king had begun the defeat of Satan. If you read through the Gospels, you see this play out throughout the ministry of Jesus. Consider that Satan fails for the first time ever in seeking to tempt a human. Right! Jesus defeated him at the Wilderness Temptation. Up until that point, Satan was batting a thousand. He had never failed in his temptation of a human. This is a dramatic moment. The coming of Christ's Kingdom has been bringing freedom and deliverance to those who had been under the tyranny of the Dominion of Darkness. Remember that throughout his ministry, Jesus has been defeating Satan and his minions at every turn. People whom Satan had bound, Jesus refers to this one lady who had a disabling Spirit as someone whom Satan had kept bound for 18 years, and Jesus delivers her (Luke 13:16). Jesus cast out many demons, and he even sent out his disciples, and they returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name." And Jesus said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." So, we see that the coming of Christ, the breaking in of his kingdom, has marked a dramatic shift. It is the beginning of the defeat of Satan and the plundering of his kingdom.
