NASB | 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world--the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one's resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. |
Bible Question: HI ARE WE IN THE AGE OF BEING RULED BY SATAN? |
Bible Answer: Yes! Satan is called 'the god if this world' 2 Corinthians 4:4. God is using him to test and try mankind. Man must learn that Satans way of rebellion, lust and greed doesn't work. Man must choose between Satans ways and Gods ways because eternity is forever and God will have none inhabiting eternity who might rebell as Satan did. So this world, though controlled by God, is not His world. It's Satans! Though not for much longer! When mankind is on the verge of total obliteration, Christ will intervene. Then there will be a thousand years under Christ, and after that the resurrection of all who've ever lived. Revelation 20 |
