Good question. Satan is a "fallen" angel, and no angel is omnipresent, Biblically. So some would say, "well, how does Satan tempt people all over the World?" The Biblical answer is demons. So what is a demon? The other fallen angels? No. The Bible tells us that the other angels are in "the bottomless pit" and 2 others are "bound under the Euphrates river.". So that only leaves one other option as I see it-the dead. The Bible makes a reference to this, I believe in Solomon's writings about when a man goes to a seductress that the dead are their with her. And I grasp that the reason the "demons" invade and tempt humans is because they long to sin as they once did-with a human body. They long for the body. And I perceive that they take on and tempt us with the sins they died carrying, be it lust, greed,blasphemy or even fear. It's somthing to think about. I hope this helps you.

No, the Devil is a created being... he can not be present everywhere at once, infact he can be only present in one place at a time. The Devil (since there are many devils/demons) is the chief of demons (fallen angels), he has quite a few servants... so while the Devil may not personally be present everywhere, has servants scattered all around... looking for ways to currupt. I don't know the Devil's exact location... although I do belive he is on the Earth, his physical influence on humanity severily handicaped after the flood (by God) and his spiritual power crushed by Jesus on the cross. He is a wounded beast, who knows his end is near!

Nope, the Devil is only mentioned in the latter books of the prophets, actually Satan, who was one of the council of angels of God. Satan is not omnipresent, because it is a only able to be present in one time and space. Limited like all other angels. The Bible even mentions this in Revelations when speaking of the devil, that it is one, in one place, able to be identified as such.
God bless and have a great day. Dont worry so much about the devil if you have God in your heart.

According to the bible the devil is a created being, which means he is NOT on the same level as God.
The devil would like you to think he is able to do the same things as God, but of course that is just another of his lies.
When Lucifer fell, he took a third of the angels with him. They do his bidding. He is NOT omnipresent, he just has representatives everywhere. He is a spirit being, confined to the "air" according to the bible.
God loves you and so do I.

Paul tells us to call on the name of Jesus and the devil must flee. The devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against Father God and was expelled from heaven. He has been alloted a kingdom by Father God. This kingdom is called Hades or Hell, which the devil will rule when Jesus comes to establish the Kingdom of The Lord Jesus Christ on the new earth. The devil is not as powerful as Jesus Christ. At the present because of the sin of Adam and Eve, the devil has free access to the earth through the spiritual plain.

Yes, the devil is omnipresent, alive and well. Satan was a fallen angel. His evil spirit is still influencing all of us. Only those who know the Holy Spirit can overcome the devil's devious and evil ways. We have all experienced temptation, and whether we follow the Prince of Evil or the Prince of Peace is strictly our choice. I'm sorry, I cannot quote you the exact chapter and verse of the Bible. I am not a scholar of the Bible. What I know and what I feel is from the heart.

The devil is now here on Earth, he can't leave. He is not omnipresent. Read the book of Job for example.

He is not.
"From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." (Job 1:7)
Since he has to roam throughout the earth, he isn't everywhere at once, which is how omnipresence is defined.
