they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8    They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9    Wilt thou yet say before Him That slayeth thee, 'I am GOD?'

     Satan is the one who will be cast into the pit, which is Hades, or the abyss. That's where he's going to be held during Christ's Millennium.  He's not going to be fully destroyed yet when Christ returns on that 'last trump' or Seventh Trumpet, for he's still got some testing to do on those who will be deceived during this flesh age.

Let's now turn back to Isaiah 14 and follow the same parallel:

Isa 14:14   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the MOST HIGH.
15    Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

     There should be no doubt now as to Satan's attempted role as messiah in our near future. As we learned in the last Study of Isaiah 14, Satan weakened the nations in that first earth age, trying to set up a similar global economy and one-world system  then. It failed, and so will this false world-order system fail which we're in now. That false system's not complete yet, for their false king, Satan, hasn't been revealed yet, but I feel it's ever so close. And remember from Matt.24; he's going to set himself up in Jerusalem as 'a spurious Messiah', not in Rome, or New York, or as head of the European Union, though he's going to take control of all those systems upon earth.
     It's time to do some more jumping around in The Word, but 'in context', as you'll notice I'm not just giving you one verse only, but covering this subject line by line.
     Turn to 2 Thessalonians 2, as some new to this study are going to discover one place in The New Testament where God's Message about Lucifer or the false Messiah, claiming to be GOD, appears again:

II Thess 2:1   Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,

     Some of the Thessalonians were confused about the return of Jesus Christ in Paul's first epistle he wrote to them. No doubt, some 'crept in unawares'(Kenites) were distorting the Truth of just when Christ does return for the second Advent. So the subject Paul is clearing up to them with this second Letter is, the coming of Jesus Christ and our 'gathering together' back to Him. Notice it says 'gathering together' and not 'caught up'. That Christ will gather His elect from the four corners of the earth to Zion, and not up in the clouds to live, should have been understood from the previous studies in Isaiah. (The measurements of that Holy City, The New Jerusalem, is given in...

 Ezek.48:

II Thess 2:2   That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

     What is that 'day of Christ'?  I hope you haven't forgotten, as we've been covering it here in Isaiah, for it is The Day of Lord, or 'LORD's Day'. We've had many references to it with the phrase 'in that day'. This phrase 'of Christ' is 'kurios' in the Greek meaning 'Lord' (Strong's no.2962). That means Paul is making a direct reference to The Old Testament 'the day of The LORD'.
     Paul's saying to the Thessalonians that they're not to get all shook-up in mind by his
