2 Corinthians 4:4 - A Short Time Left.

2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT) Satan, who is the 
god of this world, has blinded the minds of 
those who dont believe. They are unable to see 
the glorious light of the Good News. They 
dont understand this message about the glory of 
Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Why are things the way they are in our 
world today? One reason is that Satan is allowed 
to have his way. Hes a fallen angel, which 
the Bible describes as the god of this 
world and the prince of the power of the air 
(2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT; Ephesians 2:2 NKJV). 
   The Bible also tells us that one day he 
will be dethroned. He may be insidious and 
invisible, but he is not invincible. Hes going down, 
and he knows it. 
   In fact, Revelation 12:12 says, For 
the devil has come down to you in great anger, 
knowing that he has little time (NLT). That 
phrase great anger could be translated as 
a violent outburst of rage. Its a term 
that describes turbulent emotional fury, not 
simply rational anger but effectively freaking out. 
Thats because the Devil knows he isnt going to 
continue his reign. 
   Even if some liberal theologians dont 
believe it, the Devil believes that Jesus Christ is 
coming back soon. He knows that he has only a 
little time, so he has great fury. And he wants to 
take as many people down with him as possible. 
   However, God is sovereign, which means 
that He is ultimately in control. But He does 
allow wickedness, and He has allowed the Devil to 
have a certain leeway. 
   Yet there is coming a day when that is 
going to change. There is coming a day when Satan 
will be stopped dead in his tracks. No human 
system will bring that about, however. God will 
bring it about. 
   The return of Jesus Christ is bad for 
Satan, but its good for us as believers. For the 
Devil, its an incentive to attack our faith and 
try to cause us to stumble and fall. But for us, 
its an incentive to share our faith and seek to 
live holy lives. [Greg Laurie from Harvest
