Is Satan Real?

                                                      Satan is Real?

Luke chapter 4 verses 5 to 7:-   5 So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time. 6 Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8?In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

 Many people today reject the idea of a wicked spirit named Satan as causing many of the problems that affect individuals and mankind in general. But the Bible clearly shows the influence of Satan and his demons who were formally Angels but by following Satan's rebellion against Jehovah made themselves Demons all of whom are in line for destruction when Jehovah acts against them in the very near future!

                                                                       We Need a Strong Defence!

1 John chapter 5 verse 19 (in part):-  19 but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

The book of Revelation in the Bible tells us that Satan and his Demon followers were thrown out of heaven and cast down to the vicinity of the Earth where they have great anger, this anger is directed at everyone on this planet, and we need protection if we are to survive the end of this system which is fast approaching:

Revelation chapter 12 verse 12:-   12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”

                                                                            Satan Seeks Revenge!

Anyone who observes the wars and genocide and outright evil which causes terrible suffering for millions of people carried out by ordinary men and women in power on this planet must wonder how this wickedness can occur? The Apostle Paul shows that Satan and his Demons can and do influence weak minded humans to carry out their agenda, and that agenda involves the potential destruction of this world:

Ephesians chapter 6 verses 11 and 12:-   11 Put on the complete suit of armor from God so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil; 12 because we have a struggle, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.

Please note that the above scripture plainly states that the cause of our struggles is not from a human source (flesh and blood), but from wicked spirit forces that were expelled from heaven. And these forces  are invisibly affecting and influencing the minds and decisions of susceptible humans, they are in effect ruling this planet until Jehovah finally removes them!

                                                                            He Will Not Succeed!

Soon Jehovah will act when his Son Jesus Christ removes the Devil and his Demon helpers, and everyone who does not accept Jehovah's rightful authority will be destroyed. Then the new world system of things will arrive and in a period of perfect peace for 1000 years the Earth will be transformed into the paradise Jehovah always intended, then  00000.

0.00.00000.#'',,after the thousand years have ended the Devil and his demons will be released from where they are imprisoned in order to face their eventual complete destruction:

Revelation chapter 20 verse 10 (in part):-   10 And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulfur

Revelation chapter 21 (end of) verse 8:-  "This means the second death".   (or complete destruction, just as when you burn something up in a fire) he and his demons will be gone forever!

In Conclusion:   The Devil is real and so are his Demon followers, without people realising they control this planet and carry out their wicked purposes hidden from our sight but able to influence anyone who does not serve the true God:

                                                                    We All Live in a Wicked World!

                                           But Not For Much Longer!
