1 | Is Satan ruler over the earth? | Ps 24:1 | Asis | 83712 | ||
Psa. 115:16 (NASB) The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. Col. 1:13 through Col. 1:14 (NASB) 13For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Domain according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary means 1 a : complete and absolute ownership of land -- compare EMINENT DOMAIN b : land so owned 2 : a territory over which dominion is exercised Who, I might ask, is the head, the ruler of the domain of darkness and where is that domain located. Jesus says: John 12:27 through John 12:33 (NASB) 27“Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28“Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.” 30Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. 31“Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.” 33But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. Who is Jesus talking about when He said "The ruler of this world?" John 14:30 through John 14:31 (NASB) 30“I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here. Who is it that "finds nothing in Jesus." John 16:7 through John 16:11 (NASB) 7“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. What is the name of the ruler of this world that has been judged. And come to think about it how did he become ruler of this word since God gave dominion of the earth to man (Genesis 1:26,27). NOW the enemy, the devil, satan is powerless thanks to our LORD and SAVIOR mighty JESUS. Heb. 2:14 through Heb. 2:18 (YLT) 14Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil—15and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage, 16for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold, 17wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people, 18for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. Jesus has made satan powerless. I sometimes wonder where that happened. In Hades maybe? The only power that satan has is the power we give him. In my reading of Neil Anderson's books "Victory Over the Darkness" and "The Bondage Breaker," (by the way that is Jesus) I cannot recall reading that Dr. Anderson said that satan has authority over man NOW. satan was ruler but no more. We have a King in absentia who has given His stewards dominion to rule in righteousness until His return. For more information read the BIBLE |

Is Satan ruler over the earth? - - - - - - - - - - - - - '...the popular conception that Satan took possession of the “title deed to the earth” is without biblical warrant.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'OVERSTATING SATAN’S AUTHORITY - - - - - - - - - - - - - "The Bible does not say - as Anderson represents - that Satan is ruler over the earth (Greek: ge), but rather over this world (Greek: kosmos) or age (Greek: aion)." - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'One of the reasons Satan looms so large in [Neil T.] Anderson’s worldview is his misunderstanding of biblical teaching that Satan is the “god” and “ruler” of this world. 'Anderson’s exposition . . . sounds close enough to what Christians commonly believe that it may not raise many eyebrows. Nonetheless, it contains several faulty interpretations that lead to an unbiblical view of both the authority of Satan and the authority of the believer: '1. Anderson states that Adam’s authority was transferred to Satan, but the popular conception that Satan took possession of the “title deed to the earth” is without biblical warrant. Adam’s rulership was over the natural world; Satan’s rulership is over the fallen angels and lost humanity. The Bible does not say — as Anderson represents — that Satan is ruler over the earth (Greek: ge [Strong's #1093]), but rather over this world (Greek: kosmos) or age (Greek: aion). As a theologian, Anderson should know that these terms, when used in relation to Satan, refer to the present dark spiritual system in which humanity blindly participates (e.g., 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2; 6:12). If Satan’s offer to Jesus of the kingdoms of the world was genuine, it was because their rulers were under his behind-the-scenes direction (1 John 5:19). He could not, however, offer Him the physical earth, since that has always belonged to God (e.g., Exod. 19:5; Deut. 10:14; Ps. 24:1; 1 Cor. 10:26). '2. Anderson further equates the dominion given by God to Adam over the animals (Gen. 1:28) with the authority given by Christ to His disciples over evil spirits (Matt. 10:1; Luke 10:17-20), but there is no biblical reason to think they are the same authority. The “significant dominion Adam exercised before the fall” has not yet been restored to redeemed man (Heb. 2:8). '3. The idea that Satan has a legal claim to man is almost as difficult to prove biblically as the idea that he has a legal claim to the earth. It can be said that by inciting man to rebel against God’s authority, Satan tricked him into falling prisoner to the law of sin and death. Then, as man plunged into darkness, he became easily manipulated by the prince of darkness — but this would seem to be a rule by default. Although Scripture indicates that Satan’s authority over angels was once legitimate (Jude 8-9), it nowhere explicitly states that his rule over man is by legal right, and it is doubtful that it even implicitly does so.18 '4. Although Jesus does say in Matthew 28:18 that all authority has been handed over to Him, He does not hand that authority carte blanche over to believers. Rather, on the basis of that authority, He commissions them to go and make disciples of all the nations, and for that work He delegates to them the authority to do a limited number of things (e.g., remit sins — John 20:21-23). Furthermore, 1 John 3:8 (“The Son of God appeared...to destroy the devil’s work”) does not speak of believers, as Anderson suggests. The devil’s work was destroyed once-and-for-all on the cross (John 12:31; Col. 2:15).' ____________________ STATEMENT DA082 The Bondage Maker: Examining the Message and Method of Neil T.
