I am once again watching a History Channel special on the Apocalypse and Satan and all that and I can't help but wonder about the ending of the End of Days. Supposedly, the whole thing has been foretold and everything will come as depicted which makes me wonder if so, why would Satan then go ahead and do everything he's supposed to do if he knows at the end it won't work and that Jesus eventually defeats him in the end? Wouldn't that be kind of stupid? You could argue, then, that the plot of the Apocalypse could be seen as Satan knowing how his fate is foretold yet can't do anything to stop it. Which, if you think about it, means that Satan is more of a tragic hero than the villain.
