For brethren in Christ here that want to know what God's Word shows what Satan's position is in this present world, here's a little Bible lesson on that....
Firstly, in the following Isaiah 10 Scripture, God is using the title of "the Assyrian" to point to Satan. God does this in several places in The Old Testament prophets; this is one of them.
God speaking here...
Isa 10:5-27
5 O Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, and the staff in their hand is Mine indignation.
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
God calls the "Assyrian" "the rod of Mine anger". That means, God is USING SATAN as a punishing rod upon the wicked for this present world. So is that God in control of Satan or not? Oh, you're not sure that God is actually speaking about Satan here, while using that "Assyrian" title? Read this then...
Isa 30:31-33
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will He fight with it.
33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; He hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
KJV
We know for certain... that above reference by God to that "Assyrian" is actually God pointing to Satan using that title.
Reason is, because the flesh born king of Assyria of history has still not yet been judged and sentenced to perish in that future "Tophet", which is put as a symbol for the future "lake of fire" of Rev.20. No flesh born has been judged to perish in that "lake of fire" yet, only Satan and his angels have (Matthew 25:41). Lord Jesus used that "Tophet" to point to the future "lake of fire" perishing, when the New Testament word "hell" is Greek geena (NT:1067) in the manuscripts.
Does that not reveal that our Heavenly Father and His Son are in control of Satan? It sure does!!!
Not only that, it shows that GOD is using... Satan as His punishing rod upon the rebellious! That is actually Satan's role for this present world! Satan knows he is already a goner, having already been judged and sentenced to perish in the "lake of fire". But he won't go in that fire until GOD IS FINISHED USING HIM.
So those who do not understand what role God has given Satan to play for this present world, nor understand God's Word about HIS having given Satan even the power of death (Hebrews 2), those simply reveal their Biblical illiteracy, and show they do not understand what is going on in this present world!
