Now, I’ll make this statement which seems very bitter to begin with. And I—I wanted it because it’s the truth. That every kingdom of this world is controlled by Satan. The Bible said so. Satan is the prince of the power of the air, and every nation is under his domination. The Scripture says that. Satan quoted it to Jesus, said, “The whole world, all of these kingdoms are mine and I’ll do with them what I will.” And he said, “I’ll give them to you if you’ll fall down and worship me.” Jesus said, “Get thee hence, Satan, for it’s written that thou shall worship the Lord and Him only shalt thou serve.” So, you see, they all belong to Satan. Jesus didn’t dispute his words about it. But Christ knew that He would fall Heir to all these nations someday.
