Is Satan bound? Or is he the ruler of this world?

Is Satan bound? Or is he the ruler of this world?

A pastoral response to an important question for believers.

“We almost talk sometimes as if there is the Holy God and then there is the evil god, Satan. Satan is not God. He’s a finite creature. He’s limited by his finitude as well as by God’s sovereignty. And so, he is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but he is chump change compared to the sovereign God. He has been defeated and he will be destroyed, and our calling is not to let him destroy us before he is destroyed.”
