When his enemies called for merriment in the temple of Dagon, blind Samson, groping with either arm, laid hold upon the pillars of the temple and then, bowing himself, brought the Philistines and their temples down in ruin & death.
So our Lord Jesus Christ, with His arms spread out on the Cross,
seizing with one arm the pillar of sin & with the other the pillar of death
- the two huge pillars upon which rests the kingdom of Satan, bowed Himself
unto death & brought that kingdom down into
an unrecoverable ruin.

1 John 3:8 (ESV): “Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of
the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the
Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
“In Christ alone, and His payment of the penalty for our
sins upon the Cross, we find reconciliation to God and ultimate meaning and
purpose.” - Dave Hunt.
