There is something called "Satan's kingdom" here on earth- to use Christian bibical and theological terms.Satan's kingdom is comprised of Satan and demons,of varying ranks and powers.The whole world is under the power of Satan and demons.Satan is the king of the demons,and the supreme demon,all other demons are subject to Him, and He can order all other demons around as He is their Master.
Each country has demons of some sought in control of it.There are "archdemons" who are amongst the most powerful demons there are.But these archdemons are less powerful than Satan himself, and are still subject to Him, and must do His bidding. Many of these archdemons are, and were Pagan gods,that took on the form of idols and statues(idolatry and Paganism).The power of these demons has been weakened in some countries, as these countries are under God's power.As these particular countries are a part of "God's kingdom" here on earth. However,Satan and demons can stil have great power and sway, even in these countries where their power has been weakened by "God's kingdom".
The following are quotes from reputable books to support my argument.I do state very clearly that I don't agree with all things said in these 2 books.I strongly disagree with some of the moral assertions of the 2 authors.There are parts in the following 2 books, where I feel that the authors are wrong, and causing moral confusion,and trying to "make a right out of a wrong" ,and vice versa "a wrong out of a right" .
