Bible Question: I have read much of the Bible and am confused on a point, where is Satan now. It seems that he still has access to GOD and is roaming freely through both this world and heaven. Can anyone help straighten this out? |
Bible Answer: Hello jclark, According to 1 Pet 5:8- "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, (presently)prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." He is active and we need to stay vigilant as Eph. 6:12 warns: " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." I hope this helps, BradK |
