We tempt ourselves very well and then blame it all on Satan.

Is Satan omnipresent? no - Only God is everywhere all the time.
How does he tempt everyone all at once? It is his demons.
If its his demons, arent they fallen angels? Yes
That mean there are billions of fallen angels? Don't know how many there are. However, sometimes what happens is we are tempted by a demon, give in and then the next time we do it ourselves.

The easiest way to understand this is to think of the Holy Father of the universe having His children all over the world. The Bible tells us that Satan has his own children all over the world also. Only God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ are omnipresent. Satan's children after the book of Genesis are not fallen angels.

He’s fast and has a lot of help (demons), but not omnipresent. Being a creature who dwells on earth, Satan cannot be in more than one place at a time. Job 1:7 makes it clear that Satan roams here and there. He was thrown to earth in a war with Michael and other angels and "lost his place in heaven" (Revelation 12:8). If Satan can "lose his place," then he is not in every place for sure!
Other than the Bible saying that 1/3 of the angels followed Satan and became demons (Revelation 12:4) we seem to have no direct scriptural indication of how many demons there are or how many people they influence.
While Christians must beware of the wiles of the devil, they must also be accountable for the decisions they make. The devil can’t (and shouldn’t) be blamed for every problem that arises.

No, he is not omnipresent. That would be like saying satan is God's equal opposing force which is not true. Satan is destined to be destroyed by God. Only God is all powerful and omnipresent.
I don't believe satan has to be everywhere to tempt people. Yes Satan does have untold amounts of fallen angels that follow him, but we also live in a corrupt world where the spirit of this world is a dominant force but it is a beatable force because of God.

No, Satan is not omnipresent, but he has enough demons to seem that way. And yes, demons are also fallen angels, but Satan is the ring leader, so to speak.
Great question!
God bless you!

Serious questions deserve serious answers.
Satan is not omnipresent.
Satan tempts everyone, one person at a time, by promising them that God's rules don't apply to them.
Demons ARE NOT fallen angels. The fallen angels are in the lake of fire awaiting Satan, the Antichrist, and the Beast.

Yes, there are many fallen angels. These angels has been in the tempting business for thousands of years and are pretty good at it. They knows exactly what to say and do to get us to fall. He is not like God where he is everywhere at one time. He wishes He were though and he is angry that he can't be. He hates humans because we are God's creation and He loves us. The demons know our past, but they cannot know or predict the future.

No, Satan is not omnipresent but he can travel at the speed of light. He has many demons all over the world and He can not be is a service where the Holy Spirit is present and in control. There are many Churches around today where the Holy Spirit Himself does not attend, because He is not welcome. And if you are in touch with God you will know when you enter one of these churches. Leave as fast as possible.

The mortal senses will indicate satan (evil) is a power and has reality, almost omnipresent. Mortal thought swims with evil 24/7 until Christ, truth, rescues and elevates mortal thought to spiritual understanding. So to the mortal thought what appears to be good and right is evil to spiritual sense. There is only one lie feeding all lies simultaneously, and that is that light can be and is darkness, and the darkness is reality and has substance.
