C'mon, Brother! "it is far more highly probable, that there are two (2) kingdoms present at the same time" ?? This is really stretching it!
Please read the verses again that I quoted in post #210. How is it possible to read these verses plainly and straightforward and not see that Jesus is speaking of the same thing?
By the way, where in the Scriptures does
God acknowledge that satan rules of an earthly kingdom? In Matthew 4, satan claims that the kingdoms are his to give. Remember he is the father of lies; he is the deceiver. (If he told me that the sky was blue, I would look outside to see for myself!
)
He is the god of this world, that is, he is the god that the world worships.
