That he runs and rules hell. That he has a throne down there and goes around jabbing people with a pitchfork. \nBut did you know that the Bible says nothing like that? Those ideas are assumptions, superstitions, myths and even lies. \nThe good news is: The Bible is abundantly clear about where Satan’s dominion lies—and the limits of his power. \nThe bad news is: Satan’s dominion is right here with you, in the earthly realm. \nI’ll show you today, and it goes back to the curse pronounced upon the serpent in Genesis 3.\nGod said (Genesis 3:14)\n\ncursed are you above all livestock\n    and above all beasts of the field;\n on your belly you shall go,\n    and dust you shall eat\n    all the days of your life.\n\nNow, what did God mean by that, casting him into the dust? Is that something spiritual or literal? Is this why snakes don’t have arms and legs, or is that just another superstition?\nI find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. \nTurn to Genesis 3, and let’s get weird.\n\n——\nIf you do want to know more about hell, check out my interview with Megan Medick on Uncommon Sense right here:\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uncommon-sense-with-meagan-medick/id1884935580?i=1000777122024\n\n\nSign up for the weekly newsletter!
