Paragraph:

550 The coming of God's kingdom means the defeat of Satan's: "If it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." ²⁷⁷ Jesus' exorcisms free some individuals from the domination of demons. They anticipate Jesus' great victory over "the ruler of this world". ²⁷⁸ The kingdom of God will be definitively established through Christ's cross: "God reigned from the wood." ²⁷⁹
