“Thou Art Cast out of Thy Grave Like an Abominable Branch”

Bryan Richards

To paraphrase Isaiah, “The kings of the earth at least have majestic graves, their bodies laid down in regal splendor and glorious pageantry. But Lucifer has no glory when he is cast into prison. He has no grave, no tombstone, no monument for his followers to visit. He is not worthy of the same stately burial as even the wicked kings of the earth. He has no body for a gravesite and is cast out as an abominable branch. He will be as those wicked who are destroyed at the Second Coming—those whose bodies were never buried but rather left strewn upon the land as carcasses to be devoured by the birds and tread under foot of men. His wickedness excels all; his seed, or followers, are all evil-doers—wicked spirits that shall never be renowned.”

Satan’s children, the third of the hosts of heaven, will be slaughtered in a spiritual sense. Those which followed him will be the only souls who will not rise in the resurrection. They will not possess the land. They will never fill the face of the world with cities. They will never be renowned. They will never be redeemed. Their fate is sealed with that of their wicked father.
