Do you believe in Jesus? If you answered yes, then you have to answer yes to the next question. Do you believe in Satan? Remember, you have to answer yes if you said you believe in Jesus. There is no other way about it, if you believe in one you have to believe in the other. Oh, sure, you could be contrary and simply declare you don't believe in Satan, but Christ believed in Satan, it's factual. Satan came face to face with Christ in the wilderness tempting Him. Satan was around every corner in the evil being wrought by those who had no real love for God at all. Who do you think instigated the trial and death sentence of Jesus? Satan.
Do you believe Jesus is just as real today as He was back then before His crucifixion? If you do, then you have to believe that Satan is just as real today as he was back then. We have the truth of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection. Nowhere are we told that Satan was no longer in power upon earth, that his evil rule was over. In fact we were told the devil is like a roaring lion seeking to devour people.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
We are also told this…
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Satan HIMSELF is transformed….. Into and ANGEL OF LIGHT….
When you hear the words, 'angel of light', you do not put Satan's perceived evil image with those words. Angel of light makes one think of hope and joy, happiness and goodness. Angel of light sounds like the good guys come to the rescue, not evil. Yet, Satan is transformed so that he appears to be all things that are considered good and righteous. Satan is wearing a perfect disguise enabling him to wreck all kinds of havoc completely unsuspectingly. Satan appears to be perfectly good! And you know what the word of God tells us more…
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Satan does GREAT WONDERS. Satan DECEIVES those that dwell on the earth by MEANS OF THOSE MIRACLES.
Most assuredly Satan will have the majority of people deceived beyond any doubt at all. It's not going to be a vast population believing the truth, it's going to be a tiny population. It's not going to be half the population believing truth, it's going to be a miniscule part of the population. The few that find that narrow path are going to be out of step with the majority of the world, they aren't going to find like-minded people believing as they do. Satan is going to have people so caught up in their lives and he's going to use every side of the political spectrum that exists to ensnare as many people as he can. It won't matter a bit to him if you vote one way or another, the corruption found throughout all government is rampant and he's controlling it all- regardless of what either party or more have to say. He is the puppet master and he appears as an angel of light.
The majority are going to be deceived… if you stand arm in arm with any large group of people, be wary of who is truly behind the cause you may be touting as righteous… Satan has most deceived- not by outright, plain to see evil, but by what people believe is righteousness.
