Part IV: The Lord of the Scroll – The Death of the King
The Dark Archangel – Satan – had been defeated in his first confrontation with the King, who was fully God (but voluntarily not utilizing His abilities as God Philippians 2:5-8) and fully Man. Nevertheless, He was a man with the fullness of the power of God, the Holy Spirit in His life!

That is, successful are those who are meek! Why? What is it to be meek? First of all, to be MEEK does NOT mean to be WEAK! Instead, meekness is strength under control.
