Where Is Satan?

Back in the Garden of Eden and in the time of Job, Satan roamed the earth freely.

Job 1:6-7 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.  And the Lord said unto Satan, "Whence comest thou?"  Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, "From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

Satan roamed to and fro until he tempted Christ in the wilderness & Christ ordered Satan behind Him Matthew 4:10 & Luke 4:8.  Satan was cast into the pit Isaiah 14:12-19 where he is chained until the 6th Trump, guarded by the Archangel Michael Jude 1:9 & Revelation 9:11 & Revelation 12:7-9.  Following the 7th Trump, he will then be rechained for the teaching of the Millennium and then will be released for one final testing at the end of the Millennium just prior to Judgment Day Revelation 20:1-3.

Satan ceased physically being allowed to roam the earth after he tempted Christ in the wilderness.  Spiritually, however, he is still very much involved in this 2nd earth age.  Christ has given us power over Satan Luke 10: 17-19.  Rebuke Satan from tempting you.  Study God's Word to be armed with the gospel armour II Timothy 2:15
