The Purpose of God

The subject of this chapter is spiritual conflict that began before God made man upon the earth. It is the conflict of the ages, between God and Satan, between Christ and the serpent, between the sons of God and the children of the devil. No one can understand history who does not understand this conflict. And no one can understand the Bible, its history, its doctrine, or its prophecies, who does not understand this conflict.
It is the purpose of Satan to overthrow the throne of God, defeat the purpose of God, and destroy the people of God, and it is the purpose of God to destroy Satan, his works, and his followers for the salvation of his people and the glory of his name.
