No, Satan is not that powerful at all. As for the day when he'll be thrown down and full of wrath it is because on that day he will know his time is short. We will not fear the Devil, let him be full of fear and full of wrath because he is going to die, and there is no hope for him, and his fate is fixed, his destiny will not change. All he can really do of himself is lie, apart from this only whatever authority people give him by believing in his lies is what he has, hence just resist him and he has to flee.
It is not Satan that is doing these things to these people. Why give the most cursed beast any glory at all? It is God that is doing these things. for all power and glory and judgement belongs to God. Consider oh people, why God is displeased with you. It is because of your ways and the ways of your generations. This is why the Acknowledgements are crucial, because if you will acknowledge your generations' ways are all wrong and if you will acknowledge that powerful is the God that judges and curses your generations, then God is merciful, and he will show mercy, and he will restore just as easily as he can take away.
Understand what God says here in Hosea 5;
"I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. "
I don’t think your considering what scripture actually says about Satan he has a seat of power in the earth and authority also in the world it’s what gives the beast power
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”
Revelation 13:2 KJV
“And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him?
And
it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.”
Revelation 13:4, 7-9 KJV
I think you are ignoring what’s plain and revealed to the church and looking backwards into a veil that obscures things.
Satan has much power in earth , he no longer has a place in heaven but consider that he had enough power to lead a third of Gods angels astray and all of mankind astray and into death.
until Christ came forth he had overcome all man. It was and is infact only Christ who has more power in man than Satan does that’s why we need to let Christ rebuke him he has already overcome him if we start spouting off and railin against him it’s just not a good idea
To understand Christ has all power and had overcome him is a good thing to know Christ keeps us safe from him is a great thing to think he has no power in earth is not a wise idea when it’s so clear
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And
his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and
the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
….Therefore
rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
…And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
…..And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 12:3-4, 7-9, 12-13, 17 KJV
Christ keeps us safe if we dwell
In him but I think your way off to believe he has no power in this world it seems evident if you look at the New Testament revelations about him…..
that’s why we need Christ in us
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
1 John 4:4
But honestly people are going to often think what they think in my belief I don’t try to make scripture not relevant or reject it’s message so I’d say we shouldn’t pretend our enemy isn’t capable of mass destruction of we drop
Our guard he’s definately extremely powerful in this world it’s why you see evil everywhere you look
he has people in a snare and in service to him who don’t know Christ through man this “ powerless being “ has corrupted and destroyed the earth and human life since Eden and will continue to do so until Christ returns and places him here in due time
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:”
Matthew 25:41 KJV
until he’s first bound
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,”
Revelation 20:1-2 KJV
and later is sealed into the eternal
Punishment of flame prepared for him and his angels and his children he’s going to continue to destroy mankind
I’d say he’s exhibited a lot of power all along but that’s just my view of what scriptire seems to shout
you are certainly entitled to disagree and believe as you will and interpret as you will. You don’t have to agree with me
