## Satan, Part II

### His Work and Destiny

1. He is the God and prince of this world

The existing world order -- the organization of humanity, political, social, and commercial interests -- is based upon force, greed, selfishness, ambition, pride, and pleasure, modified and restrained by the presence of the Holy Spirit in the church (2Thessalonians 2:7). With the removal of the church (1Thessalonians 4:14-17), the "lawless one " (2Thessalonians 2:8) will be revealed, to whom Satan will give all his power (Revelation 13:2).
