WHO IS "THE GOD OF THIS WORLD" ?.............
The "god of this world" is identified in the following Scripture according to :
2 Corinthians 2:11
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
"But if our gospel be hid, it is HID TO THEM THAT ARE LOST in whom the god of THIS WORLD has BLINDED THE MINDS of them that BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
1 Thessalonians 2:18
“Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.”
Revelation 12:9
"........who is called the devil, and Satan WHO DECEIVES the whole WORLD."
John 12:25 ( Jesus speaking )
"He who loves his life IN THIS WORLD shall lose it, and he that hates his life IN THIS WORLD shall keep it UNTO LIFE ETERNAL."
John 18:36 ( Jesus speaking )
"My kingdom is not OF THIS WORLD..."
Romans 12:2
"And be not conformed TO THIS WORLD..."
John 15:19 ( Jesus speaking )
"If you were of the world the world would love its own, but BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OF THE WORLD , and BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD, therefore the world hates you."
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT :
It is little wonder that "THIS WORLD" is in the terrible human condition that it is in today because SATAN is "the god of THIS WORLD". There is no fixing "THIS WORLD" to be a fit place for TRUE CHRISTIANS to live as long as Satan is "the god of THIS WORLD".
God's plan is for Jesus TO REMOVE His Elect Body of Christ Church FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD to reside in heaven, leaving behind those who do not believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to have to live in "THIS ROTTEN WORLD".
According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
