That by the passion of the cross the Lord fully conquered the hells, he Himself teaches in John:
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. John xii 31.
This
the Lord said when the passion of the cross was about to take place.
In the same:
The prince of this world is judged. John xvi 11.
Again:
Be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world. John xvi 33.
And in Luke:
Jesus said, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke x 18
In these passages by the world, the prince of the world, Satan and the devil, is
meant hell.
That by the passion of the cross the Lord also fully glorified His Human, He teaches in John:
After Judas was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified
in Him. If God be gloried in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall straightway glorify Him. John xiii 31 32.
In the same:
Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son,
that thy Son also may glorify thee. John xvii 1, 5.
Again:
Now is my soul troubled. And He said, Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified
it, and will glorify it again. John xii 27, 28.
In Luke:
Ought not Christ to have suffered this, and to enter into His glory? Luke xxiv 26.
These things are said concerning
His passion. Glorification is the uniting of the Divine and the Human; therefore it is said, "God shall glorify Him in Himself."
