I never implied Satan would be let off the hook.
We are told what happens to Satan after the millennial reign. My point is people think there is some battle where TMH is struggling to defeat this fallen angel when Satan is just an instrument being used for a specific purpose.
When Christ encounters him in the desert, he had no choice but to flee when scripture was quoted. There are limitations to what Satan can do.
Matthew 4:10-11
10 Then Jesus said to him, [
a]“
Away with you, Satan! For it is written,‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
11
Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
