“The god of this world” 2 Corinthians 4:1-6

TRANSCRIPT

Date: September 17, 2023 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Over the years, Satan has stealthily integrated his evil agenda into the operational systems of the world. Today, he all but dominates the political, religious, and educational systems of our society. In other words, this is what it looks like with Satan as the god of this world. However, Satan is not done yet. Satan’s goal is to convert his temporal dominion into a global political kingdom through which he will rule the whole world. To achieve that goal, he must persuade the world leaders to move toward the unification of all mankind under a one-world government and condition the world to accept and submit to a new world order and a one-world leader. In effect, the god of this world is setting the stage for the arrival of the Antichrist. This is the subject of our next sermon in this series on Spiritual Warfare. The title is “The god of this World.”

However, Satan is not done yet. Satan’s goal is to convert his temporal dominion into a global political kingdom through which he will rule the whole world.

Old Testament Reading: Genesis 1:26-31 New Testament Reading: Revelation 13:1-10

Every believer becomes engaged in a cosmic spiritual war the very moment they are born again.

As a consequence of Adam and Eve’s sin, God placed a curse on the whole earth.

Every child is born with a sin nature and intrinsically attracted to sin.

Satan is the god of this world, and he has designed the systems of this world to achieve his agenda.

When the Bible says Satan is the god of this world:

Satan’s chief weapon today is “deception,” which is manifest in the affairs of the world as “dishonesty,” – saying something that is not true, or concealing something that is true.

Satan is setting the stage for the soon arrival and global acceptance of the Antichrist.

The Bible is “multidimensional” in that both the letters and numbers used in the Bible have divine meanings in addition to their values.

The 12 systems that control the daily operation of the world include governmental, educational, financial, media/entertainment, legislative, political, religious, technological, military, commerce, healthcare, and communication.

Over the centuries, Satan infiltrated those 12 systems with the various anti-God religions of humanism, deism, spiritism, and mysticism, and then he introduced the satanic philosophies of witchcraft, astrology, and other forms of the occult.

However, Satan is not done yet!

As the world sits on the precipice of the time of tribulation, the cry of the globalists is “Unity!”

Thankfully, God will soon remove Satan from the earth.

According to Revelation 20:1-10, when Jesus sets His feet on the Mount of Olives, Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years and then released to tempt those born during the millennium.

Lo he comes in clouds descending, once for helpless sinner slain! Thousand, thousand saints attending, swell the triumph of his train: Every eye shall now behold him, robed in dreadful majesty. Those who set at nought and sold Him, shall the true Messiah see. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all the Angels cry amen!!!
