Ever read Hal Lindsey's book "Satan is alive and well on planet Earth?"

I read it years ago, and it stands true today as well!

No. I have checked it out on Amazon though and it looks like an interesting
read. I'll add it to my list! If you believe in God then you will know that
Satan is alive and is the ruler of Earth... Earth being part of the kingdom of
Hell.

well satanism has really invaded the country.  'do what you want' and talk prospering financially but not serving god has really got into churches. especially black churches.

i'm not sure about satan being the ruler of earth.  if there is a satan he doesnt have to do anything for bad people to be evil. seems like a scapegoat.

Satan spoke to Jesus in Matthew 4:8-9 at the temptation in the wilderness where
he asked "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all
the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, 'all these I
will give you, if you will fall down and worship me'"

God considered it wise, as part of his curse on the world after the fall of
man, to give Satan power in this world. Satan rules by permission as it is part
of His plan as we humans undergo our trial on Earth.

 I've read it. it's a slog, incredibly dry and unbelievably boring. I'm guessing the reference here is to a passage in 2 Corinthians, which requires the reader to make a lot of assumptions to arrive at that conclusion.

Therefore, it's fanfiction at worst, headcanon at best.

I was more referring to Matthew 4:9 and Luke 4:6 where Satan speaks about
having authority on Earth. He does -- he is the Prince of this world -- as God
has given him permission to exercise tremendous power over us as part of our
trial on this planet.
