1 | satan days | Eph 6:13 | Aixen7z4 | 102959 | ||
A good and important question, and I think you are on the right track. Experience seems to tell us that there are some days when everything seems to go right. Then we feel that the Lord is in control. Some days everything seems to go wrong, and it seems that Satan is in control. Scripture seems to tell us that that this “evil day” is not necessarily a whole day and it can be more than one day in a row, a period of time. Thus, in Luke 22, as he faced the cross, Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, “this is your hour, and the power of darkness“. Before that, He had been led into the wilderness for forty days, to be tempted of the devil, and now he had gone into the Garden of Gethsemane. That was an “evil day”. Job had a period of testing, in which Satan had been allowed to have his way with him. That was a dark and “evil day”. There is a sense in which all of these days are evil days. Satan is going about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is free to do that now because this is his “day”. I think you can expect periods of time when Satan will be there to bother you. This is the time in which he is allowed to do that. He can come to you suddenly, and he can stay a while. We have to be prepared to resist him. This is an “evil day”. |

You said ... "There is a sense in which all of these days are evil days. Satan is going about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is free to do that now because this is his “day”." ... where does the Bible say he is free? ... where does the Bible say this is his day? |

I used simple logic to assume that since he is walking about then he is free at least to walk about. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. I contrast that to Revelation 20:1 where John saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. Again I come to the same conclusion. He will be bound then. He is free now. I hope this answers two questions in one. I take it that the fact he is free and that this is his day (to go about doing his thing) are the same thing. |

Scripture ... Job 1-2 (1:12, 2:6); Rom 7:14-25; Jam 1:13-15 ... Your logic doesn't prove the Bible. You still haevn't shown "this is his day" In fact Satan is limited (Job 1:12, 2:6) . Even if he is free we are the ones who choose (Jam 1:13-15) .. we wrestle (Rom 7:14-25) ... and we choose - Satan cannot force us. |
