Since death was demonstrated to have been defeated, by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, it follows that His death had been substitutionary; that by His death He defeated death; and that His death therefore defeated sin, and hence defeated he who had the power of death, that is, the devil; and disarmed the principalities and powers that are at the back of pagan human rule. It is done - but it's still to be outworked for us, and for God's good creation, each in its own order.
