[QUOTE="Aussie Pete, post: 77592807, member: 421731"] I'm not convinced. The world is in the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19). Part of the work that Jesus did was to destroy the works of the devil. That includes breaking his hold over mankind. But that only applies to those who are born again. Everyone else is subject to Satan's control. Adam rebelled against God's authority and man has been rebelling ever since. God made a covenant with Israel, which they accepted. Fundamentally, it was blessing for obedience and cursing for disobedience. We know how well that turned out for Israel. Christians pray "Your will be done on earth as in heaven". That is because God's will is not being done. Once God is satisfied with the work of the church, He will call time. Satan knows this, which is why he does his very best to keep the church from living in the victory that Jesus won for us. Satan will fail, of that there is no doubt. The true church is glorious, without wrinkle or blemish. How long to go? God alone knows. Not long, I believe. I'll be glad to trade in my body for a new one! Mine is reaching its best before date too quickly. [/QUOTE]
