Christ said “the God of this age comes and has nothing in Me”.
Paul expounded on this saying “who’s coming is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the elect”.
The operative here is that “Satan is coming”. If we understand coming correctly we would know and understand that even now as Christ comes, so too does Satan, and we have a choice. Satan also comes to the spirit of our mind to the place of reason and understanding. This is why Paul said “ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God”. Satan takes on the contrast of God being confusion and disorder having negative attributes. His favorite attribute is fear.
