Bible Question:
Thank you Let me ask you a litte further. Who does "the prince of this world mean" here? According to your answer, it seems the devil though. And what is "he is on the way"? |
Bible Answer: Hi, sunam... Yes, the "prince of this world" is one of the titles that the Bible gives Satan. (The best phrase I've heard of Satan's domain is a "parasitic kingdom.") Apparently, at the moment Christ spoke these words, Satan was coming. In some way that we are not told, Satan would participate directly in the events surrounding the atonement. In Him, Doc PS Why not fill out your profile. That way the rest of us will get a chance to know you a bit better! :-) |
