- Paul adds that we also formerly walked “。。。according to the prince of the power of the air... ” (Ephesians 2:2).
The phrase “according to” is once again taken from the word kata, the same Greek word that has already been used once in this verse to convey the ideas of domination, manipulation, and control.
Paul says we were also
dominated by “the prince of the power of the air.”
Scripture tells us three things about Satan in this verse:
1. He is a prince.
2. He has genuine authority.
3. His power base is located in the lower regions of the air.
First, this verse tells us that Satan is a “prince.”
The word “prince” is taken from the word archonta, and it
refers to
- one who is in first place or one who is in a ruling position. It describes a potentate, ruler, chief, or prince.
This shouldn't surprise us! In
- Matthew 9:34, the Bible tells
us that Satan is “the prince of the devils"
- and even ascribes a real kingdom to him called “the power [or the kingdom] of darkness” (Colossians 1:13).
- In John 12:31, Jesus calls Satan “the prince of this world.”
In Second Corinthians 4:4 the apostle Paul specifically
states that Satan is “the god of this world.” Paul continues in this verse to tell us that as “the god of this world,” Satan has
“。。。blinded the minds of them which believe not...” so they cannot see the truth.
Sorry Ozzy, you are not the true prince of darkness.
In addition to these well-known scriptures that identify Satan as a “prince,”
Ephesians 6:12 also tells of an entire ordered
demonic system that is under Satan's domain. Satan himself is lord over these demonic hosts.
**Therefore,Satan is a real prince over demon spirits and
exercises real authority over the affairs of lost men and women whom he has blinded.
Second, this verse tells us that Satan has “power.”
Paul designates Satan as “the prince of the power of the air.” The word “power” is derived from the word exousia. The word exousia would be more accurately translated “authority.” Since Satan is a real prince over a real kingdom, it should not surprise us that his dark kingdom has real authority to back up his wicked reign.
During Jesus'40-day temptation in the wilderness, the Bible says,“And the devil, taking him up into an high
mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power [exousia, meaning authority] will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it” (Luke 4:5,6).
Third,Satan's power base is located in death and
the “air.” resurrection!
The word “air” is taken from the word aer, and it was used
by the classical Greek writers to describe the lower, denser regions of the earth's atmosphere
SO WHY DOES THIS CONCERN ME?
- Satan is real - DONT DOUBT IT FOR A SECOND.
- Satan has authority - you must operate under a greater authority.
- Satan rules only over the earth from the lowest heaven. Daniel prayed 21 days before he got an answer. We war in heaven, but our answers are fulfilled on earth. It takes time.
