And Satan’s rule is political; it is an authority. Satan wants to rule the earth without God. So when we seek to rule the earth without God, using our authority for freedom from God, we join sides with the arch-traitor. This is similar to what we saw at the outset of this book: the destructive power of hell (and Satan, the chief Arsonist) works its way into God’s good world through us. Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, Satan’s power is unleashed through us.
