Jesus Christ described Satan as a very real spirit being. He stated, “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out” (John 12:31). The New Testament clearly indicates that Satan is now in charge of this present human society. Of course, Almighty God can overrule Satan at any time, but He is generally allowing the world to go its own way so as to learn its lessons for 6,000 years of human history. The Apostle Paul described Satan as “the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). Satan is now in control of this world’s atmosphere. Satan broadcasts wrong attitudes and perverted ideas throughout the earth—sometimes through television, sometimes through the Internet, sometimes through other means.
