Shootings in theatres and such? Somethings to consider:
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them Colossians 2:15
(from matthew henry)IV. He has obtained a glorious victory for us over the powers of darkness: And, having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it,
v. 15. As the curse of the law was against us, so the power of Satan
was against us. He treated with God as the Judge, and redeemed us out of
the hands of his justice by a price; but out of the hands of Satan the
executioner he redeemed us by power and with a high hand. He led captivity captive.
The devil and all the powers of hell were conquered and disarmed by the
dying Redeemer. The first promise pointed at this; the bruising of the
heel of Christ in his sufferings was the breaking of the serpent’s head,
Gen. 3:15.
The expressions are lofty and magnificent: let us turn aside and see
this great sight. The Redeemer conquered by dying. See his crown of
thorns turned into a crown of laurels. He spoiled them, broke the devil’s power, and conquered and disabled him, and made a show of them openly—exposed
them to public shame, and made a show of them to angels and men. Never
had the devil’s kingdom such a mortal blow given to it as was given by
the Lord Jesus. He tied them to his chariot-wheels, and rode forth
conquering and to conquer-alluding to the custom of a general’s triumph,
who returned victorious.—Triumphing over them in it; that is, either in his cross and by his death; or, as some read it, in himself, by his own power; for he trod the wine-press alone, and of the people there was none with him.
