2 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140751 | ||
There are many that would try to convince believers that Satan stays in heaven putting blame on believers and much of this is drawn from the following, Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. What they don’t stop to realize is the Satan is not ubiquitous, as is God. Satan has to be here at least part of the time unless he gets his information from the chain of command, that he has established, which is a possibility, but there isn’t conclusive evidence to prove it either way. Ephes. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Again this verse speaks of the accuser being cast down. Rev. 12:10-12 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This doesn’t say that Satan has never changed his location or that it is a permanent situation or that it ever was, or that he can’t come back. It is my firm opinion that Satan or the devil or what ever name he goes by, is in a time awaiting the execution of God’s verdict. Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Once Satan is in the Lake of fire his traveling days will be over!!! Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. [7] And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. CDBJ |

3 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | Praise Be To God | 140752 | ||
Dear CDBJ: My Bible tells me that Satan's domain is on the earth: "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:31) "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." (John 14:30) "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2) Janae |

4 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140789 | ||
Hi Janae, That’s very interesting; the verses that you have chosen to prove your point, has disproved you point. You stated, “My Bible tells me that Satan's domain is on the earth:” Then you use the following verse the disproves it; Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:31) What are you trying to say that cast out means?? Then the next verse doesn’t prove anything either way with regards to the subject. The subject was; which I didn’t start; “Satan is not here on the earth did you know” You suggested, "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." (John 14:30) Then you finished with the following, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2) So the thesis of your post is what; are you saying that you don’t believe that Satan still has access to the Earth or that he is restricted to the Earth and that the verse in Rev. 12:10 isn’t so or pertaining to the age that we live in? Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. I am confused as to what position you are trying to convey?? CDBJ |

5 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | Praise Be To God | 140814 | ||
Dear CDBJ: Thank you for your reply. I can see how you could get confused, if you do not read the verses carefully. What is the one phrase that each of these verses has in common? I'll tell you: "prince of this world" and "prince of the power of the air." Satan was cast down to the earth from heaven when he rebelled against God. In fact, a lot of people believe Satan's seat is in the Middle East, because the spirit of the antichrist is so strong there. It could even be Iraq. Janae |

6 | Satan is not here on earth did you know? | Eph 2:2 | CDBJ | 140841 | ||
Are you suggesting that since Satan was cast down that it means he can't return? Has his access to heaven been denied? He was cast down before the claims of Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. [7] And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Satan has been back to heaven since he was cast away. His trial must have been before there were people on this earth yet look where he shows up and who he is accusing. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This tells me that Satan has just been given notice that his time left to raise havoc is likely his last 3 ½ years, so he is on his way back to Earth and is going to kick his vengeance into passing gear! Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. CDBJ |
