Does Satan have the same powers today as in Job?

Post by _Sam McNear » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:05 pm

Does Satan :twisted: have the same powers today as in the book of Job? Satan was allowed in heaven in the book of Job, but in revelations he was kicked out. When he was kicked out after Christ died and was resurrected, was Satan allowed back in heaven like before? If he is not allowed in heaven does he have the powers he had in the time of book of Job to control weather, etc… since he can’t get to the throne room to ask God’s permission as he did to destroy Jobs belongings? Is this what is meant by Satan being bond in the kingdom age? I can go on but this will get the conversation started. Thanks :!:

I think the short answer is yes, because Satan has always only had the power to do what God allows him to do.

I think the symbolic language in Revelations refers to Jesus' victory over death at the cross not necessarily a physical lock on Heaven.

I have a hard time thinking satan has the same power. Did not Jesus come and bind the strong man? He lost his power to go into the throne room of God and heaven. I wonder what power satan has lost.
