God promises in Chapter 27 to slay the Leviathan, the twisted serpent. This many see as a picture of Egypt and its symbol of the crocodile, but what serpent is more twisted than that of the Devil. God has promised that at the end of time God will destroy all the works of the evil one. Yes, this could be a picture of God bringing judgment on the enemies of Israel, but I can't help but think this also gives a picture of God's final victory over all evil. In the day where Jesus will be ruler over all the earth on the day, he will return.
For those who love God, it will be a blessed day. For those who serve themselves will find themselves in the camp of the enemy of God, the great serpent, the devil and they will face the same fate. Hell and the Lake of fire isn't a place where the Devil will reign (no matter what Hollywood and legend say) it will be a place where he too will be in torment.
