I have enjoyed reading Paradise Lost so far because it has caused me to think about heaven and hell in a different light than I normally do. Well, for that matter, it has made me think about both more than I did on a normal basis before. Though the first two books are about hell, I liked lines 850-853 because they show how God is still in control over Hell. Satan is saying, "And by command of Heav'n's all-powerful King I keep, by Him forbidden to unlock these adamantine gates." Even when I was struggling to understand parts of the first two books, it was comforting to remember this basic truth. The truth that God is all powerful and He is the ruler over Hell!!!
I commented on Jeremy's post.
