If it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”
The strategy of the evil one is to divide and conquer. Imagine the church is composed of many different saints, all with different gifts, different ministries and some are focused on "driving out demons". They expose lies, corruption, and crimes. They use the law courts, they are involved in fighting against abortion, or election fraud, or political crime families. Satan would have you believe that everything they accomplish is actually his doing. He does nothing but takes credit for everything. But that in turn could cause you to question everything.
25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Once again, the strategy of Satan is to divide and conquer because this will ruin the church, ruin the kingdom of God. During the protestant revolution the church was divided. Then with the ecumenical movement there was an effort to unite all the different factions. This ecumenical movement involved compromise. They compromised repeatedly with the word of God and the Bible. This is why we have LGBTQ priests, this is why they are wishy washy on a pro life stance, this is why they don't preach against sin, this is why they have allowed the prosperity gospel to proliferate, this is why we have the apostasy. Dividing the church and then compromising with sin in order to reunite the church is a strategy to ruin the church.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
Now when the church stands up as salt and light it drives out Satan. It may appear that Satan is divided against himself as some corrupt court will find some corrupt elite guilty of sins. This is not a victory for Satan it is a defeat. If you watch a chess match one person will give up a pawn and yet it could result in an advantage for them. There are plays called "sacrifice" or "gambit". Yet in reality most times when you lose a piece it is a loss and not part of some great hidden strategy. The Lord Jesus and Satan are playing chess and Satan is losing. Satan is being driven out and yet he wants to claim that "no, no, this is part of my game winning strategy". Suppose you are Ghislaine Maxwell who has been involved in pedophilia and pagan worship and now you learn from your "god" that he is simply sacrificing you for the sake of some great strategy. That really stinks. In the Lord's kingdom Jesus sacrificed Himself for us. In Satan's kingdom he will sacrifice anyone and everyone to save his own skin. So when we drive out Satan it puts him into a no win situation, he doesn't want to admit it was a defeat that looks bad, on the other hand if he claims it is a victory all those who are being "sacrificed" may decide to double cross others and so Satan's kingdom cannot stand.
27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
This is what is happening right now. Miranda Devine published "The Laptop from Hell". It is sold out everywhere and you can only get it on backorder. This is not a "victory" for Satan, it is a major defeat. Durham is currently prosecuting the FISA warrant scandal. Again, not a victory for Satan, a major defeat. Various states are passing legislation to put a stop to abortion, again not a victory for Satan but a major defeat. We are exposing election fraud in the US, not a victory but defeat for Satan. His entire kingdom is collapsing like a house of cards. In the book of Revelation we see Russia make a major attack but lose only for Europe to emerge as the focus of this one world government. Where is the US? They are Babylon the Great and their judgement comes in an hour, they collapse like a house of cards, their destruction is like that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The elites finance Russia to take out the US and then to be destroyed leaving them in charge. But hey, what about China? The idea that China is a Superpower is based solely on the US being their customer. If a Fortune 500 company loses their biggest customer responsible for 50% of their orders the company is no longer a Fortune 500 company. When the US collapses and no one will buy China's goods anymore then China collapses with it as well.
The Antichrist setting up the one world government, the reformed Roman empire is not a sign that Satan is winning but that his kingdom on earth is collapsing. It is a restructuring deal that takes place after a bankruptcy.
In a chess game many of the moves are forced by the opponent. You basically have no good options. This is what is happening now because of all the corruption and incompetent actions of these world governments. The US is broke, 80% of China's water supply is polluted, crop yields are collapsing, we are on the brink of famine, and economic collapse. Right now they are desperate to get everyone "vaccinated" because it will give them much more control during the collapse. They'll be able to track you and maybe even kill you by simply turning up the 5G. If they can control whether or not you can buy or sell they can control you. They want social credit scores so they can punish anyone who does not obey.
28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
This is the big problem with the current situation. Satan likes to be in the shadows, hidden, so that no one can see him. It is like a snake or a scorpion. They are very effective if their attack is a surprise. However, if you can see them they are at a great disadvantage. We can easily stomp on a scorpion or kill a snake once we see it. Everything that he is doing is bringing him out into the open where the whole world can see their lies, theft and murders.
