Satan is the god of this world because when Adam sinned, he forfeited his position of God-given rulership over this world. God- Yehovah does not get rid of a ruler until there is someone to replace him/her. God- Yehovah, true to His form, will allow Satan to hold on to this position until someone qualifies to replace him as the ruler of this world. The lord Messiah Jesus- Yeshua qualified to replace Satan when he offered himself up to his God and Father Yehovah as a sin-offering sacrifice, allowing God- Yehovah to reconcile [bring back] humanity to Himself. So, the second man, the last Adam, Jesus returns to this earth to take his place on the throne of David at Jerusalem with all of his holy ones - glorified, immortal saints!
The first thing he will do is have one of his angels bind
Satan and cast him into a pit where he can deceive the nation no more.
Unfortunately, at the end of the 1,000-year rule, Satan
will be loosed to deceive the nation to rebel against God and His vice-regent,
Jesus- Yeshua. This will be done to show that human beings, even during the 1,000-year
reign, will retain the Adam nature humanity received after Adam sinned against
God.
However, that rebellion will be put down immediately, and
Satan and his angels will be cast into the lake of fire and destroyed. Yes, I
said destroyed. Whatever God has created, He can destroy, and Satan is a
created being.
After all this comes the White Throne Judgement, and beyond
a completely new order of things to take place in the ages to come.
What a glorious future we have to become immortal men and
women co-inheriting and co-ruling with the lord Messiah Jesus in the coming new
age!
May that day soon come!
