Satan is very real and he has made himself public. Look at the world today. All the crime, all the evil that is spread in the name of belief. Nothing is sacred or holy anymore.
Everything is for everyone's own pleasure. Religion has taken a back seat to personal thought and personal knowledge. Prayer has been outlawed in schools, and people are pushing to get the word "God" taken out of the pledge of aligence, and the ten commandments off of government building sites.
TV and movies portray things that until only a few years ago, would have been an outrage.
Everyone is up in arms over the government and the leaders of nations. They think that these people are horrible and are only doing things for themselves. We talk bad about them, we use public places to bash them and others.
The law of marriage has been defiled and been used as a stepping stone for people to push their own agendas, never mind what that bible and other church works have to say on the subject.
God has been pushed to the back of peoples minds and is only thought of once or twice a year, or when it suits the person. We have no respect for others, or for other peoples belief systems, it's either my way or the highway.
If this isn't satan making himself public, I don't know what is.

Yes Satan is real. Why not make himself public? The greatest accomplishment that Satan achieved is to make the world believe that he doesn't exist. Why? Because when bad things happen, who do we blame? God. And when we blame God, we get angry at him and want nothing to do with Him, which is exactly what Satan wants.

Obviously you have not taken a look around. You somehow missed 9/11. You don't know that it is okay to kill a baby up until just before the moment of birth. You haven't read any of the hostile against Christ questions on this yahoo site. You have lived a sheltered life. Satan is everywhere.

Yes he is very real and he doesn't publicize because he is a sneak and a liar among other things. He hides behind many things and if we are not aware of them, we will fall for his lies. Since it's the Bible that tells us about Satan, it also says he transforms himself into an angel of light, hence his name Lucifer. He is literally a wolf in sheep's clothing.

According to the bible, Satan is at this moment still in the bottomless pit.
Prior to the death of Jesus at Calvary, he did walk the earth and caused much hardship to Job, and it is also recorded that Satan wanted the soal of Peter enough for Jesus to warn Peter that Satan wanted him.
Satan will be released from this pit, and this act will usher in the tribulation that the bible speaks of. Our comforter will also be gone at this point, so evil that is kept at bay right now will also run rampant again.

satan makes himself visible in the world through the things he manipulate through us.... I mean when he uses us to hurt our fellow man that is him manifesting himself. We needed to use our spiritual eyes to see how real he is. He will not reveal himself visibly until the appointed time when the church is taken

"satan" (pronounced say-tan) means nothing more than "opponent". . .and the concept of evil (harm) is suppositional: the absence of light or good. . .NOT an organized body or force of darkness and evil!
(Rabbi Jesus referred to satan as "a liar and the father of it" - again, a suppositional notion.)
What gives "satan" reality is what mankind individually and collectively give it. . .for, in our existence, evil is contained fully in the collective human mind.
Imagine what would happen in our world "if". . .for one hour. . .all over the world. . .we took time out to focus on gratitude. . .not scheming to deceive, steal, or kill!
