Who really controls the world? Who's that man hiding behind the curtain? You can't see him but he sees you.

CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?

Yes, for at least three reasons:

Satan’s rulership is doomed. Jehovah is determined to bring Satan’s control over mankind to an end. He promises to “bring to nothing . . . the Devil” and undo all the damage that Satan has caused.—He..ews 2:14, New World Translation.

God has chosen Jesus Christ to rule the world. Jesus is the complete opposite of this world’s present cruel, selfish ruler. Concerning Jesus’ kingship, God promises: “He will have pity on the lowly and the poor . . . From oppression and from violence he will rescue them.”—Psalm 72:13, 14.

God cannot lie. The Bible plainly states: “It is impossible for God to lie.” (Hebr..s 6:18) When Jehovah promises to do something, it is as good as done! (Isaiah 55:10, 11) “The ruler of this world will be cast out.”—John 12:31.

Is the Devil Real?

The Bible’s answer

Yes, the Devil is real. He is “the ruler of the world,” a spirit creature who became wicked and rebelled against God. (John 14:30; Ephesians 6:11, 12) The Bible reveals the Devil’s personality through these names and descriptions:

Satan, which means “Resister.”—Job 1:6.

Devil, which means “Slanderer.”—Revelation 12:9.

Serpent, which is used in the Bible to mean “Deceiver.”—2 Corinthians 11:3.

Tempter.—Matthew 4:3.

Liar.—John 8:44.

Not a principle or quality of evil

Some view Satan the Devil as just a principle or quality of evil that exists inside us. However, the Bible records a conversation between God and Satan. God is perfect, so he could not have been talking to an evil part of himself. (Deuteronomy 32:4; Job 2:1-6) Likewise, Satan tempted Jesus, who is free of sin. (Matthew 4:8-10; 1 John 3:5) Thus, the Bible shows that the Devil is real and not merely a personification of evil.

Should we be surprised that many people don’t believe that the Devil is real? Not at all, for the Bible says that Satan uses deception to accomplish his aims. (2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10) One of his greatest tricks has been to blind many people to his existence.—2 Corinthians 4:4.

Myth: Lucifer is another name for the Devil.

Fact: The Heb..w word that in some Bibles is translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” (Isaiah 14:12) The context shows that this term refers to the dynasty, or line of kings, of Babylon, which God would humiliate for its arrogance. (Isaiah 14:4, 13-20) The expression “shining one” was used to mock the Babylonian dynasty after it was overthrown.

More misconceptions about the Devil

Myth: Lucifer is another name for the Devil.

Fact: The H..rew word that in some Bibles is translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” (Isaiah 14:12) The context shows that this term refers to the dynasty, or line of kings, of Babylon, which God would humiliate for its arrogance. (Isaiah 14:4, 13-20) The expression “shining one” was used to mock the Babylonian dynasty after it was overthrown.

Myth: Satan works for God as a “prosecuting attorney.”

Fact: The Devil is God’s enemy, not his servant. Satan the Devil opposes and falsely accuses people who serve God.—1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:10.

Is Satan Just a Symbol of Evil?

It is fairly easy to assert that the Satan we read about in the Bible is merely a symbol of all that is evil. But is that really what the Bible teaches? If so, why does the Bible describe Satan as speaking with Jesus Christ and with Almighty God himself? Consider two instances of such conversations.
WHEN SATAN SPOKE WITH JESUS

When Jesus began his ministry, the Devil tried to entice him with three temptations. First, Satan endeavored to pressure Jesus to use his God-given powers in a selfish way to satisfy his own hunger. Then, the Devil dared Jesus to risk his life foolishly and draw attention to himself. Finally, Satan offered Jesus rulership over all the kingdoms of the world in return for one small act of worship. Jesus rebuffed all three clever attacks, each time quoting the Scriptures.—Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13.

An asshole coder

How many people are acting for a greater good and have a moral compass?

Probably the least amount that’s ever existed on earth

That’s why “satan” rules the world at the moment

NIMROD IS ALIVE!!

"Until Jesus returns, Satan controls the skies, God controls the Heavens"...

Nimrod is a tool

Just watch the movie Tron.

the evil one is within each of us and it rules our world

when we repent and quit sinning and when we turn back to God, then the Son of God aka the Savior will save our life and then we can help to save humanity in whatever was He sees fit

Exactly, They are trying to unlock the bottomless pit through CERN, to release Satan from his chains

R0thsch1lds, everyone knows it

Do you have any Jesus quotes you can post regarding the dude who took off with 1/3 of God's army?

It is a serious question.
I'm not religious but I do believe in Jesus.
Not the bible as it stands- just Jesus - or whatever his real Aramaic name was.

Did they clone his DNA?
Was his tomb really found?

SATAN

why is this pinned????

Yes here's how;
Until I come, continue applying yourself to public reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift in you that was given you through a prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 15 Ponder over these things; be absorbed in them, so that your advancement may be plainly seen by all people. 16 Pay constant attention to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you. 1Ti4:13

Let's figure this out.
What else besides the Bible and religions and politics could have such high power?
The medical field?
Movie industry?
Education system?

What else?

Corporations.

People forget, they’re more powerful than some permanent members of the UN. AT&T operates a far significant budget than France does.

How do we fight back?

It is his lieutenant on earth, a private citizen whose name no one has ever heard of
