John 1: 1-3

(John 1: 1-3)

『In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 』 Why is Satan the king of this world?

Jesus Christ was with God before the creation of the world, who is God, who was born before all, and created all things. Most church people agree that Jesus Christ is the Creator. Why is Satan the king of this world?
Jesus says in John (12:31) that Satan is king of this world.

 『Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 』It is also said in John (14:30).『Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 』, 『Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 』 (John 18:36) Even though Jesus is the Creator, why did Jesus say, "I am not of this world"? After all, this world is Satan's country.

『Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1 John 2: 15-17), Everything in this world is the pride of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boast of this life. In other words, if the body is good, God is not happy, but I am happy. 『And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 』 In this passage we learn that "God is not of this world." The word wicked means Satan.

This is not true because Jesus said, "My kingdom is not this world." Although there is no biblical ground or causal relationship between sin entering this world and the changing of its master, people think so. God is Almighty God. The world created by God cannot be taken away by anyone, and no one can occupy the world created by God illegally. If you think "it can be," you deny Almighty God, and you will despise God's name. God's creation cannot be changed or changed by any factor. If people say that "creations can change," they will be Satan's followers. It is impossible without God's permission.

God must allow the master of this world to change. If the owner of this world changes even if God does not permit it, then the creation of God's world becomes an incomplete creation. This makes us think of Almighty God as an imperfect God. Others think that "the world is dying of sin, so Satan is illegally occupying this world. So, they think: God wants to defeat Satan, let the Son of God come to the world to restore the world.

We must know the Bible well to know why Satan is the king of this world that God created. We must know why God's beautiful world must be destroyed. When God created the world, it included a plan that "the world would be destroyed." Thus God's creation of the world involves destruction and judgment.『But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 』 (2 Peter 3: 7). Many church people may think, "Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and sin had to come into this world and be forced to judge the world, and that day of judgment was preserved."

『They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 』 Psalm (102: 26) says that heaven and earth are designed to disappear from the beginning.

『Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 』(2 Peter 3:12). Jesus also spoke in Matthew (24:35).『 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.』

Did God plan the end of the world before creation? Or did Satan tempt Eve into a world that God had created, a world that was good to see, so that sin could enter the world and inevitably destroy it? If we believe in God Almighty, we can find the answer.『God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 』 (Numbers 23:19)

"Creation of Heaven and Earth" was planned by God, including creation and end. The material world is not infinite but finite. By the way, people think that this material world is created forever. The Garden of Eden symbolizes the eternal kingdom of God, and though there is a garden of Eden in the world, Adam and Eve sought eternal life with God. However, many believe that human beings were forced out of the garden of Eden by the temptations of Satan to have a finite life. The garden of Eden symbolizes the kingdom of God, but one must realize that it is not the kingdom of God. The Garden of Eden is also a finite material world. People are to look to the kingdom of God through the garden of Eden, the material world. However, people recognize the garden of Eden as the kingdom of God in the material world. The garden of Eden is a word symbolically expressed by God to explain what happened in the kingdom of God. The garden of Eden happened on earth, but it describes what happened in the kingdom of God before creation.

John 1: 19-28

(John 1: 19-28) And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?   And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.   And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.   Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?   He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.   And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.   And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?   John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;   He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.   These t...

John 1: 11-13

(John 1: 11-13) 『 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 』 God's children can call on the name of Jesus. Jesus is our master. No one can call on the name of Jesus. When we are born again in the spirit body, we can call on the name of Jesus. Otherwise, he is not related to Jesus. It's like what a non-family member calls a father. So Jesus will say, "Who are you? I do not know you." Those who are connected with Jesus are "those who die with Jesus, not believers in Jesus." . Those who die with Jesus feel pain with Jesus. This is repentance. Those who become Jesus' family must have a body of spirit, not a body of flesh. God gives the repentant a spirit body. God makes the body of the spirit by the light of the Holy Spirit. Thos...

John 1: 29-51

(John 1: 29-51) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.   This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.   And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.   And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.   And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.   Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;   And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!   And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.   Then Jesus turned, and saw...
