Satan: Cursed to Rule the World

We hear it all the time- the claim that Satan is the god of the Underworld. That he runs and rules hell. That he has a throne down there and goes around jabbing people with a pitchfork.

But did you know that the Bible says nothing like that? Those ideas are assumptions, superstitions, myths and even lies.

The good news is: The Bible is abundantly clear about where Satan’s dominion lies—and the limits of his power.

The bad news is: Satan’s dominion is right here with you, in the earthly realm.

I’ll show you today, and it goes back to the curse pronounced upon the serpent in Genesis 3.

God said (Genesis 3:14)

cursed are you above all livestock

and above all beasts of the field;

on your belly you shall go,

and dust you shall eat

all the days of your life.

Now, what did God mean by that, casting him into the dust? Is that something spiritual or literal? Is this why snakes don’t have arms and legs, or is that just another superstition?
