The Bible describes him as "the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort." (2 Corinthians 1:3) Clearly, "the God of all comfort" will not allow the Devil to live any longer than necessary, nor will He allow the effects of his influence to remain.
IBhayibheli limchaza 'njengoYise wesihe noNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke.' (2 Korinte 1:3) Kuyacaca ukuthi, "uNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke" ngeke avumele uDeveli ukuba aphile isikhathi eside ngokungadingekile, futhi ngeke avumele imiphumela yethonya lakhe iqhubeke ikhona.
