THESIS 55: CHRIST'S BINDING OF SATAN

By His Power over demons, Jesus demonstrated that the Kingdom was not "postponed" but rather "at hand."[211] By His Power over demons, Jesus indicated that Satan was being bound.[212] Through the death (execution) of Christ, Satan was judged,[213] and in His Resurrection and Ascension, Christ was enthroned, and the power which Satan and his host formerly held over the nations has been transferred to Christ.[214]
