Matt 25:41
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
We know that God is the Cause of sin and death into His World because before the World Began, ,and according to His Eternal Redemptive Purpose in Christ, He purposed to punish the devil and his angels / messengers with everlasting fire.
Now Christ is the Lamb foreordained BEFORE the foundation to be slain
1 Pet 1:20
20 Who verily
was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Rev 13:8
8 And all that
dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
This we know to be according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God
Acts 2:23
23 Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and
slain
Hence all those involved were merely carrying out the Eternal Purpose of God
Acts 4:27-28
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
So understand this, that God determined from before the foundation that judas Iscariot would be influenced by satan, the devil to betray Christ in order to be slain.
John 13:2,
21-27
2 And supper being ended,
the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27
And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
So judas and satan were carrying out their predetermined part in the Eternal Purpose of God
Lk 22:21-22
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as
it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
And this slaying of Christ in time was predetermined by God before the foundation
1 Pet 1:20. Now according to God's Purpose, when did He purpose for the devil to put into judas heart to betray Christ ? It had to be before the foundation of the world
1 Pet 1:20, So when did God purpose to punish the devil and his angels/messengers
Matt 25:41, why it was before the foundation of the World, before the Creation, so that all things that transpired in Gen 3, after Creation, was merely the acting out of God's Eternal Purpose, which did include sin and death coming into the world as a result of adam's sin
Rom 5:12.
The Truth is, all beings, whether human, angelic, or otherwise, and all circumstances created by any being whoever, are but subservient to the Eternal Purpose of God in Christ, and to utter otherwise is Blasphemous and a attack on the Sovereignty, Wisdom, and Power of God, and subjects Him to the will of another outside of His own will, which makes all that God is subservient to His inferior creatures ! Again that is Blasphemy and it will not go unpunished !
