Near the end of the first century AD, in His vision given to Apostle John on the Island of Patmos, The Lord dictated letters to the seven churches of Asia Minor. To the church in Pergamos, He mentioned:
I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My Name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. (Revelation 2:13)
In Ephesians 6:12, Paul mentions:
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
A strategic understanding of these and other relevant Bible verses that unveil how the kingdom of satan operates, indicates he has a bifurcated operation on and over the Earth. Let's take some time to delve into this topic so we can perceive its operations across our world, writ large, and in the hearts and lives of individuals, families, societies, and nations. Once we perceive the structure of his kingdom, we should also be able to derive deeper insights into how The Lord will similarly structure His bifurcated Kingdom on Earth during His long-promised Millennial Reign.
