Philippians 2:10-11
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Every knee ever created will bow before Christ. Every tongue ever made will mouth the words, "Jesus Christ is Lord!" And this has ALWAYS been the plan.
Isaiah 45:23
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
The glory of God the Father is made manifest in seeing creation confess His Son. What Isaiah recorded, Paul applied. Jesus Christ is Yahweh, God incarnate, come in flesh without being of the flesh in order to save all flesh to the glory of God.
All creatures will confess Christ. No one and nothing is excluded, even Satan. In the end, even snakes will be given knees if only that they might bow them before Jesus. And in the meantime, He is giving His body, the Church, the joy of helping His enemies to find their knees.
Romans 16:20
The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
