*TWO RULERS: SATAN AND THE OLD SIN NATURE*
* *
     Paul illustrates a Principle that applies equally to all ages: Spiritual death rules in every generation of human history.
/Nevertheless, the [Spiritual] death ruled from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a type [A representation] of Him [Christ] who was destined to come.
[Christ’s First Advent]/ (Rom 5:14)
     Actually we are born under /two /rulers who came to power when Adam sinned.
Satan is the /“god of this world,”/ ruling through a policy of moral and immoral degeneracy, this is “Satan’s thinking, of evil,” (2Co 11:13-15; (1Ti 4:1-3; (2Ti 3:5) the old sin nature is the sovereign of human life, ruling through Spiritual death and carnality.
(Isa 29:13; Mark 10:18; Rom 10:2-3) Under both of these tyrannies we live, “moral and immoral degeneracy” and this is the order of the day.
(Normal everyday *human* life) It is the policy of Satan; it is the func­tion of the old sin nature!

Nature.jpg
We have already been introduced to Satan.
(In the book Satan and demonism) Since his powerful, multifaceted strategy has been detailed elsewhere, we need draw only a thumbnail sketch of his plan.
His arrogant ambition is to become, by his own efforts and great intellect, like the most high God.
(Isa 14:12-14) He pro­motes the improvement of his kingdom, the world.
He seeks to displace God and to create a counterfeit “one world order; named in the Bible; Babylon,” this will happen before Christ returns at the Second Advent! (Isa 47:7-15; Rev 18:1-24) We are not surprised to discover in the Bible that a revolutionist such as Satan, whose world policy is both moral and immoral, (Evil) talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Satan is a brilliant chameleon, an ingenious counterfeiter, able to pre­sent himself as all things to all men.
On one hand, he favors sweetness and light — prosperity for all; a chicken in every pot.
Personally, he is the most beautiful creature ever created; he is eloquent, smart, entertaining, personable, persuasive — just the kind of company you would enjoy.
His attacks often come in the guise of this calm, engaging, drawing-room type of attractiveness.
(Neh 6:2) He knows that life depends on how people think, and he sponsors “good” anti-God thought.
/You felt secure in your wickedness and *said, No one sees me,* //Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you;// For you have /*/said in your heart,/**/ /*/I am, and there is no one besides me./ (Isa 47:10)
 
     /For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others.
*Their inner thought is *that their houses are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names./
(Psa 49:10-11)
 
     /For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
//Though while he lives he /*/congratulates himself--/*/And though men praise you when you do well for yourself-- //He shall go to the generation of his father’s; //They will never see the light.//
//Man in his pomp,// //yet without Understanding, //[Truth] Is like the beasts that perish.
/(Psa 49:17-20)
 
     /And he began /*/reasoning to himself, /*/saying, What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?
//Then he said, This is what I will do:// I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
/*/And I will say to my soul,/**/ /*/Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come;// //take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.
/(Luk 12:17-19)
 
     /Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine: /*/Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die./*
(Isa 22:13)
 
     Perhaps, you have never before understood this point; God is interested in what we Think.
(Rom 2:15-16) But many categories of sin (Mental, verbal and overt) only set back Satan's Utopian objectives.
The system which Satan has constructed includes all the /“/good/”/ which he can incorporate into it and be consistent with the thing he aims to accomplish.
A serious ques­tion arises whether the presence of gross degeneracy in the world is due to Satan’s intention to have it so, or whether it in­dicates Satan’s inability to execute all he has designed.
The probability is great that Satan’s ambition has led him to undertake more than any creature could ever administer.
(Job 2:1-10; Zec 3:1-7; Rev 3:9-10) Man is truly a free agent; human volition (Free will) and the old sin nature can prove to be just as unruly to Satan! (Dan 2:41) But Satan does not appear always as an angel of light.
The dark side of his strategy calls for terror, violence and confusion.
(Neh 4:11) If he cannot control mankind by one tactic, he always has another.
(Acts 16:16-17) No depravity or treachery is beneath him.
(Jdg 16:15; Jdg 16:21) The rules of the angelic conflict call for each man to exercise his self-determination on the earth until God removes him!
(2Ti 2:4) But Satan never plays by the rules unless doing so happens to further his own ends.
He is the original murderer, determined to destroy man’s volition if unable to control it.
(John 8:44) periodically God judges the accumulated results of all his varied activities.
(Gen 6:1-7; Gen 15:16; Lev 26:14-30) Satan’s antithetical methods of operation are employed not only by his human world leaders, (Luk 6:26; Rom 16:18; (2Pe 2:1-3; Jud 1:16) but also by his vast, highly organized, well-led army of angelic subordinates, known as demons.
(Eph 6:10-12) Satan does not lead a mob.
He understands authority; in fact, he is a tyrant who wants to superimpose his authority over God’s.
Satan orders some of his demons operating on the earth to be eloquent and magnetic in order to deceive people of culture and enlightenment.
(Col 2:8) Many smart Germans who were not impressed — who were even repulsed — by the emotionalism of Hitler’s National Socialist Party were nonetheless drawn in by his demonic charisma.
Other demon organizations are appointed with confusing and enslaving the simple, the emotional, and the ignorant.
(Acts 14:11-13) Such people are impressed by the weird, extranatural phenomena of telepathy, mind-reading, and disem­bodied spirits associated with certain Hindu sects; by the voodoo victim’s ritual sacrifice of himself without any symptoms of pain; by the Sudanese dervishes who with bullets in their heads and hearts continued to charge the British formations; by the human sacrifice of children in the phallic cult; by the ecstatic manipulation of the vocal cords among the modern day holy rollers.
Demons can unlawfully isolate the dormant faculties of unbelievers, and of believers in carnality, who permit the mentality to lapse into disuse and who are therefore ruled by the old sin nature.
(John 8:37-38; John 8:44; Acts 19:26-28; (1Jn 3:10) We are all born into Satan's world system.
/And you were [Spiritually] dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course [Thinking] of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit [Satan's false spirit] that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
[Unbelievers and carnal believers] Among them we too *all* formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest./
(Eph 2:1-3)
 
     In order to get out; as unbelievers we start by faith in Christ.
(John 3:18)
 
     /For by grace you have been saved through faith;// and that //[//Salvation//]// not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;// not as a result of works, so that no one may boast./
(Eph 2:8-9)
 
     All believers in carnality are under demon influence, and or demon obsession in which the demon controls the soul.
We are born again, */but still think according to the false spirit and the old sin nature's thoughts we were born with./*
In order for us to change into the *new self *God wants us to be, (Eph 4:24) we must be transformed!
/And do not be //[A Command] conformed to this worlds, [Way of thinking; moral and immoral degeneracy] but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
/(Rom 12:2)
 
     Satan has /ruled /the world since the Fall of man, but he has never yet succeeded in /controlling /his own domain.
Whether through the drawing-room type of demon activity or through the more startling types, Satan’s ultimate objective is to conquer, to control.
Believers are at a great advantage if they understand the strategy and tactics of the enemy.
(2Co 2:11) Unfortunately, many Christians seem to gravitate to the strange, to the weird.
Any mention of the devil and demon activity risks bringing such impressionable people out of their cracks and holes.
It is not wise to delve into the realm of demonism; The Bible warns us not to get in­volved.
(Lev 19:31; Lev 20:6; Deut 18:10-12) We should be curious about Truth, not about demons.
The point here is that we are born enslaved to a system of satanic moral and immoral degeneracy, more brilliant, complex, and powerful than we can possibly resist in our own energy!
Our one defense is the Spiritual life in fellowship with God, (1Jn 1:9) Thinking with the Mind of Christ, Truth resident in our souls; this is God's power, (1Co 2:12-16) we learn God's system, (John 4:23-24) and this is the solution!
We submit to God's will, Thoughts and desires or to our own.
(John 12:24-26)
 
     /The LORD knows *the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.*/
(Psa 94:11)
 
     /For My people are foolish, They know Me not; They are stupid children And have no Understanding.
[Spiritual Thinking] They are shrewd to do evil, But to do good they do not know./
(Jer 4:22)
 
     Our confidence lies in knowing that Jesus Christ controls history.
(Rev 1:5) Satan does not control the kingdom he rules; he cannot produce perfect environment; never will he be like God.
Satan and his demons are doomed to ultimate failure.
The plan of God, executed by perfect Divine justice, will inevitably prevail.
The great demon conflict that has so ravaged human history will be won by the Lord Jesus Christ at the Second Advent.
(Rev 20:2-3) We might as well get on the winning side!
Either we adjust to the justice of God, or the justice of God will adjust to us — by rolling right over us!
Not/ /even the greatest intellect of the greatest creature, Satan, can compete with the integrity of the Creator.
If /we /try it, we haven’t a chance.
While the sin nature’s trend toward sin does not always fit in with the main thrust of Satan’s scheme, its trends toward morality and immorality are readily pressed into the devil’s service.
While still in the Garden after the Fall, Adam’s slavery to his newly acquired sin nature was first manifested, not in an act of sin, but in a program of satanic morality — Operation Fig Leaves.
The nakedness that had been a wonderful part of Adam’s relationship with his wife was suddenly denounced by Satan as being a social problem.
(Gen 3:11) The new ruler of the world insinuated that nakedness between husband and wife was wrong, that clothing was “good,” that no one was going to run around naked in his kingdom!
Adam’s trend picked up the innuendo right away, and he and the woman got busy making /“loin coverings”/ out of fig leaves.
(Gen 3:7) Behind their social action, their “betterment” of mankind, their work to make everyone equal; is the thinking of Satan!
They were vainly attempting to improve the devil’s world, and, once clothed, they had more *“moral thoughts.”*
