A Temporary Retreat
Commentators unanimously agree that Satan's departure was 'for a season,' not forever. They explain this means he left until a more opportune time. This foreshadows his future attacks, particularly during Jesus's suffering and crucifixion (Luke 22:53, John 14:30). This teaches that spiritual victory is often followed by periods of peace, but we must remain vigilant for future trials.
