Taking everything literally does not help you. When it is said that satan steals, destroys and kills, it is in a spiritual sense and not physical sense. Everyone dies even the righteous dies and this is nothing personal but God harvesting the earth. We see in Rev 14 two angels being ordered from heaven to harvest the earth, both the wheat and tares. There's nothing that happens against the will of God.

This is talking about the end days
It also speaks of false wonder
Raising people from the dead is not false wonder, healing someone through prayer to god is not false wonder. A person speaking to another person in their own language, is not false wonder (if it is a miracle)
I think you need to determine what is from god, and what is impossible

you really over-spiritualize the word of God. You like to allegorize. and your mark 1:14 is out of context.
what Jesus was saying the Messiah is here and God is near. repent. Notice the was the same message John was saying prior to being arrested. what was filled was a few things one the time of John was done or fulfilled. the time of the Messiah was at hand or with them now God is near. Jesus brought the Kingdom to them. Then Jesus told the disciples to take over and do what?
matthew 28:
18-20
18Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.19Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,b baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
mark said what?
Mark 16:15And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.17These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.e 18They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
This has not stopped and you have not shown in scripture where it has.

Nobody just wakes up one day and claims they did when they did not. These people will be surprised and it shows that they actually did miracles all along thinking that it is from God when it was not. On the other hand, God's people will also be surprised when Jesus will tell them "you saw me naked and clothed me, you saw me hungry and fed me..." and they will ask "..master, when did we see you naked...". This is what it means the first shall be the last and the last the first.
true but I don't take everything in the word of God literally I try to see it contextually from what is known as the authorial intent.
it can be literal or a normative or descriptive. It can be metaphorical, and Prophetic. It can be for a time frame and it can be applied today if the application is biblical. to see the word of God only metaphorically and not contextually is improper hermeneutics. That means interpreting the word of God incorrectly.

I have and i continue reading but also you, the day your eyes will be opened you'll toss away everything like one does a menstrual cloth.
Isa 30:
19O people in Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He will answer you. 20The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” 22So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying, “Be gone!”
You will see them as filthy items.

Well, if you didn't know, whatever happened to Israel is a foreshadowing of the Church. Nebuchadnezzar/ the Assyrian/ babylon- are all representative of the antichrist (satan) in the last days. All authority belongs to God and satan is also given authority to overcome God's people. After that, God crushes him and his kingdom and establishes His (God's) kingdom forever.
Read Daniel - how Nebuchadnezzar was given authority over all kingdoms and God snatched it and established His kingdom.

Fail.
Luke 17:
20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”c
22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is,’ or ‘Here He is.’
The Messiah speaking here was clearly observable.

Then what does these mean contextually:
Psalms 116:
15Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of His saints.
Isa 57:
1The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
devout men are swept away,
with none considering
that the righteous are guided
from the presence of evil.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;
they find rest, lying down in death.

yes you did and I addressed BOTH
so?
how about you telling us how it is that you fancy yourself to be omnipresent
stop asking questions you think you the answer to and thereby thinking you have one over on us and how about YOU answer question
I noticed you do not have a very good record with that
no one has a new tongue but I would advise you to watch yours

Then why is it that God is asking the church (in the last days) to come out of Babylon, if everything is rosy within the church:
Rev 18: 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.
Or you think God is asking Netanyahu to come out of Damascus?

you have not understood (big surprise there since you refuse the One who gives understanding)
the gift of tongues, with regards to the person God has given the gift to, is edified by their praying and or speaking to God in tongues
now tell me and everyone else, why you study the Bible (if you do)
do you not seek to gain knowledge? and what is that but edifying yourself
you seem to be having problems in English also
