thanks for adding the scriptures, I find it strange for anyone to consider that Jesus has begun ruling and reigning here on earth yet, we see that His ruling with the iron scepture is still to come...........come Lord Jesus!
the final fifth kingdom that follows the four of Daniels, is spiritual

Mat_28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
so was pharaoh a god? he also was worshipped.why did satan need permission from god to harm job?has satan ever killed men by himself?if he has then only god has allowed it. for it is appointed all men to die. who made that appointment? god or satan?2 Corinthians 4:4
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Looks like he is a god also.
Here are some verses that prove that Satan is the ruler of this world...i didn't want you to think i was making it up.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (if the first two didn't convince you then this is deal sealer)lol In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God 2 Cor. 4:4
we see from Johns writing that he was speaking of a time in the future, "Now is the time for judgement on this world"
was it judgement day already?....no
"Now the prince of this world will be driven out"
again we see this has to go with the prophetic word above concerning judgement, satan WILL BE driven out, as he still has to fulfil the prophesy concerning the antichrist and time of tribulation
Adam was the cause for this appointment, otherwise we would all be eating from the tree of life
Mat_28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Who has all power? where?
Who has all power? where?
but why didn't god slay him then? god appoints our deaths, he reigns NOW and now man escape the judgment. we either pay for the sins ourselves or its paid for at the cross.
either way justice is served and that is the point. God is ruling now and is allowing the world to on his time. study the man king Solomon and how he judged the enemies of david. he let them go and they hung themselves. that is how god does it. he warns us and when we cross that line. its done.
I trust Him in faith. I believe what He says... I see the world about me... But we know who holds tomorrow. My glass is half full not half empty... My joy, salvation, tomorrows, resurrection, etc is in Him.
You really believe believing that Jesus is King and reigns is heresy?
Just for clarity the ONE preterest who does show up around here is not here very often at all.
Jesus is the Son of the Most High God...that makes him all powerful as his Father. Satan who is a lesser "god" has been given control of this world but with restraints or we would have literal Hell on Earth as we speak.
That is wonderful reba and i agree....even though Satan is the god of this world as Paul said i have joy in abundance waiting on my Messiah to return to set up his Kingdom...if i am martyred before then that is ok as well because that i will wake up when that trumpet sounds.:amen
Yes...the way that Preterism twists it...to make it some kind of make-believe little fantasy kingdom all the while ignoring reality and scripture.
Satan would love for you to believe that he is the god of the world. Now consider the difference between 'the world' and 'this world'.
