We need to remember that Satan is not creative at all. He's only an angel. That's an order of being which is less than a human. He's not created in the image of God. If he could kill us, we'd all be dead. But he can't.
I have no problem believing that what he is doing today will be done again at the end of the millennium. Paul clearly said that we will judge the angels. Jesus said that Satan has already been judged. There will be many surprises as this all plays out. But we need to remember why the universe was created.
God wanted a group of people, separate from Himself, to freely choose to love Him and serve Him. That's why we had to sin—to gain the separation needed. Now, that Jesus has done what he was called to do to rescue us, we can freely choose to love the Father and the Son. After this universe is dissolved in fire, the New Creation will be populated by only the people who love Him and each other. It is going to be beyond words to describe...
Everyone alive today will have to choose between loving or hating the Father and the Son—within the next decade or so. The millennium is mainly about the Father fulfilling His promises to Israel. Those prophecies must be fulfilled. [A thousand years is as a Day to Him.]
I'm looking forward to meeting you in person and chuckling about how clean and simple it all is, while munching fruit from the Tree of Life. I'll even have teeth again. >chortle<
