The following comment was received in response to the mail 1AD.02.05.11 Where are we now?

"I assumed that it would be Yahshua who would cast the devil into the pit to be bound."

This is a widely held understanding, however, please consider the following:

Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Yahshua came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (NKJ)

Yahshua died amongst other things to regain the authority on the earth that Adam lost.

Having regained the authority he immediately delegated it to his disciples in whose footsteps we follow IF we are found faithful.

Hebrews 10:12-13
12 But this Man [Yahshua], after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of Yah, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. (NKJ)

Yahshua is seated at the right hand of Yah UNTIL ALL his enemies including Satan have been made his footstool.

Note that the power and authority that will enable human beings to overcome to the end of this age and to be sanctified and in a position legally in the Court of Heaven to issue the instruction to send Satan to the Pit comes through the "Christ" = Christos = the Anointing of the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah [the Father] in and upon those believers who have been filled with and anointed with and immersed in the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah to the point where they become vessels for honour.

In order to reach this point any believer who ASPIRES to be found worthy must recognize his total inability to accomplish ANYTHING in his own strength and YIELD HIMSELF TOTALLY to the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah within and upon him in order that Yah may do the work THROUGH the anointed believer in the SAME WAY that Yah worked through Yahshua after he was immersed in and CONTROLLED by the Set-Apart Holy Spirit of Yah after immersion in the Jordan.
