2 | who rules the earth | Gen 1:26 | Morant61 | 149420 | ||
Greetings Pretrib! The word for 'world' can also mean 'age'. I think that Eph. 2:2 provides the answer to your question. "in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient." Satan does not rule the 'earth', that is the Lord's. However, he does rule over those who are disobedient (the lost). Since, at the time of Christ, most of the earth was disobedient, Satan could be called the 'ruler of this age'. Yet, it was an authority of 'influence', not real ownership or power. These have always been and always will be God's. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
