God uses His management of humans to defeat Satan. By corrupting people, Satan brings their fate to a close and disturbs God’s work. On the other hand, God’s work is the salvation of humanity. Which step of the work God does is not meant to save humanity? Which step is not meant to cleanse people, and to make them behave righteously and live out the image of ones who can be loved? Satan, however, corrupts humanity; it continuously carries out its work of corrupting humanity throughout the universe. As God works, Satan disturbs. In the last days, its disturbances will be finished; likewise, God’s work will also be finished, and the kind of humans God wishes to complete will be completed.

God directs people positively; His life is living water, immeasurable and boundless. Satan has corrupted man to a certain degree; in the end, the living water of life will complete man, and it will be impossible for Satan to interfere and carry out its work. Thus, God will be able to gain these people completely. God has said, “I’ll be victorious over all of Satan’s dark forces and over all dark influences.” This is the work that is to be done in the flesh, and it’s also what makes becoming flesh significant: that is, to complete the stage of work of defeating Satan in the last days, and to wipe out all things that belong to Satan. God’s victory over Satan is inevitable!

The work that God does is carried out in response to Satan’s ruses; in the end, God will reveal His almightiness and Satan’s powerlessness. He uses Satan’s defeat to save humanity; He uses Satan’s defeat to reveal all His acts and all of His glory. He will obtain glory, and all the multitude of angels will see all His glory. The messengers in heaven, the humans upon earth, and all of His creation upon earth will see the glory of the Creator. This is the work that God does. His creation in heaven and on earth will all witness His glory, and He’ll return triumphantly after utterly defeating Satan, and allow humanity to praise Him, thus achieving a double victory in His work.
