Overview
Scripture reveals that Satan currently operates a kingdom in rebellion against God's rule. Jesus taught that Satan's kingdom is divided against itself and ultimately doomed (Matthew 12:26). Believers are called to recognize Satan's schemes while trusting in Christ's supreme authority over all powers.
Key Scriptures
"Jesus said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?'" (Matthew 12:25-26, ESV)
"And the devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever" (Revelation 20:10, NASB)
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness" (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)
Application
Ground your confidence in Christ's victory and put on the full armor of God through prayer, Scripture, and faith.
