    The False Kingdom of Satan
    ​
    Satan's Fall

    Scripture reveals little about Satan's fall, but his sin constituted an act of rebellion against the sovereign authority of God.

    6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. —1 Timothy 3:6 (KJV)

    4 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. —Revelation 12:4 (KJV)​

    Satan's Kingdom

    At his fall, Satan instituted a counterfeit kingdom to parallel God's kingdom and challenge His authority.

    25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: —Matthew 12:25 (KJV)

    4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. —2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV)

    2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: —Ephesians 2:2 (KJV)    ​

    Satan's Subjects

    Every king needs subjects, and Satan is no different. In order to gain a following, Satan tempted the first human couple Adam and Eve. The consequences of Adam's sin...

    12     Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: —Romans 5:12 (KJV)

    17     And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; —Genesis 3:17-18 (KJV)

    20     For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. —Romans 8:20-22 (KJV)
    ​
    Satan's Kingdom Is Temporary As Jesus Is Triumphant

    1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. ... —Revelation 6:1-8 (KJV)

    31     Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. —John 12:31 (KJV)​

    17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. —Luke 10:17-18 (KJV)
