Lesson 3: October 12-18

‘The prince of this world’

 

9. How did Satan continue his warfare against God after he was cast out into the earth? Genesis 3:1-6.

NOTE: ‘But though defeated in this first great battle, the Dragon did not stop his war. He came into Eden, the garden of God, in the form of a beautiful fiery serpent (this was before the serpent was cursed and made to grovel in the dust, as it now does) and he deceived Eve so that she did not know it was the Dragon, the great enemy of Christ. So she was taken captive by him and, through conquering Adam and Eve, he got power over the earth and began his work of destruction here.’ E. J. Waggoner: Present Truth, June 28, 1900.

 

10. What title did Jesus use for Satan? John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11.

NOTE: ‘After tempting man to sin, Satan claimed the earth as his, and styled himself the prince of this world. Having conformed to his own nature the father and mother of our race, he thought to establish here his empire. He declared that men had chosen him as their sovereign. Through his control of men, he held dominion over the world. Christ had come to disprove Satan’s claim. As the Son of man, Christ would stand loyal to God. Thus it would be shown that Satan had not gained complete control of the human race, and that his claim to the world was false. All who desired deliverance from his power would be set free. The dominion that Adam had lost through sin would be recovered.’ Desire of Ages, page 114.
