"And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ...Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he was only a short time." [Rev. 12:7-9,12]
"The thief (Satan) comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy" [Jesus; Jn. 10:10]
"Be of sober spirit (regarding the matter of Satan's operations), be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." [1 Pet. 5:8]

Mainworthy said no but then gave texts that say yes. Satan has been here with 1/3 of the heavenly host to do his beckoning since Adam and Eve and he will continue to be here until the day God throws him and those who follow him into hell

God and the Devil, as singular beings who really knows. Good and Evil most definetly. Regardless of anyones personal veiws on religion it self you would have to either be blind to the realities of the world we live in today. The name satan or the devil are just a way for us to give things such as war, disease, violence, famine and poverty a face or a grouping if you will. There is most definetly a higher power out there but our interpretations(i.e. Bible, Quaran, Torah) of what it truly is are flawed in my opinion

might want to properly be for distinct motives. between the justifications human beings might want to concern it truly is the very incontrovertible reality that death could also contain discomfort counting on your challenge. I.e. getting shot, motor vehicle crash, severe ailment, the probabilities are infinite. yet an extra reason might want to properly be the phobia of the unknown. no one is responsive to what death is like, if there is a few thing after death, etc. so fearing it truly is per chance really instantly ahead to boot. yet an extra reason is faith. many faiths, as you likely understand, talk of Heaven and Hell any such tremendous type of folk might want to concern that to boot. I, for my section, became frightened of death through discomfort that would want to properly be linked with it and it only became a really scare idea questioning about how i'd be, properly, lifeless. each little thing i have ever universal disappearing in a 2d. Now i quite do not care. death is portion of existence and it only quite doesn't seem so undesirable to me anymore for quite some motives. death became, is, and continually will connect existence so human beings will favor to settle for it at one time or yet another.

If you watch the news, you will see that it is man wreaking the havic. It was man who invented the "Devil" so he could pass the buck, and have something to blame thier actions on, as per in the beginning. Yes, He has always gotten away with it. Man will not be held accountable for thier own actions.

Actually, I think the Devil is siting back laughing at us for letting the out-dated bible rule our lives, creating confusion, war, and just plain havoc. Either God's tool got too old, or the Devil wrote the bible.

Yes. Jesus once told Peter, "Simon, Simon, the DEVIL desireth to have you that he may sift you as wheat". How could Satan even have a shot a Peter if he were already bound by God?

Satan is not here yet, but soon.
Antichrist will not be born of the womb or possess a human body. Satan is Antichrist and will be supernatural and able to perform miracles to deceive the whole world. “Anti” in the Greek means “instead of” or instead of Christ.
CHRIST SPEAKING
(Luke 10:18-19) And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
SATAN BOOTED OUT – DRAGON SERPENT DEVIL
(Rev.12:7-9) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
SATAN THE SERPENT - BEGUILES
(II Cor.11:3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
SATAN HIMSELF – TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT
(II Cor.11:14-15) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
SATAN CLAIMING TO BE GOD
(II Thes.2:3-4) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
SATAN WILL DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD
(Dan.9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
CHRIST SPEAKING
(Mark 13:21-22) And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: (22) For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

I have not yet conjured the Devil to our plane of existence. So, no - all the havoc is natural.
