Satanists want space in Oklahoma.

Satan worshipers want to erect a statue of their own beside a Ten Commandments monument outside the Oklahoma State House (Associated Press, January 6, 2014). They claim, “The statue will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation” (ibid.). While many doubt that such a monument will be approved, an ACLU lawsuit could complicate the matter (ibid.).

In the eyes of many, including many Satanists, Satan is just a metaphor and not an actual being.  However, the Bible describes him as the “god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4) and reveals that he is a powerful archangel who led a rebellion of one third of the angels in his fall from the throne of God (Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:4). He is portrayed as the “prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2). He is also the deceiver of the whole world (Revelation 12:9)—yet, a deceived world is not aware that it is deceived!

The drama we are seeing in the state of Oklahoma is a sign of the times that indicates we are approaching the end of the age when Satan’s activity will increase (Revelation 12:13-17). For more information on Satan’s deceptions, watch our telecast on “How Does Satan Deceive You?”
