Out of desperation, even the faithful at one point in time has asked, "Why don't you stop this evil, God!" It is not blasphemous to ask, it is a cry that is mimicked by God's heart which has been pained ever since He lost His direct link to His children to Satan. What began with one fallen family grew to encompass tribes, nations and a world. It is a world where the 7 billion people which make up present humanity are descendants of Satan, incapable of denying that we inherited the lineage of evil parents.
No one knew Satan's blood was present within our body and that this was so displeasing to God. This is the essential problem.
And how are we going to eliminate those roots within us? Satan dug his roots into our physical body, our flesh body.
Why Doesn't God Stop Satan?
Why doesn’t Satan release his claim on human beings? He asserts to God, “Didn’t You set up the principle of creation that dominion is based on love? Whether my love was lawful or unlawful doesn’t matter; I definitely loved Adam and Eve. Isn’t love the original basis for dominion?
"Since I loved Adam and Eve, I have a right to claim them and their descendants under my dominion. I will not relinquish my claim over human beings to You unless You love me more than I loved them."
"Since I loved Adam and Eve, I have a right to claim them and their descendants under my dominion. I will not relinquish my claim over human beings to You unless You love me more than I loved them."
God has been fighting against Satan internally, and against evil people externally. But in fighting He does not act capriciously in violation of His own laws. God never fights in a way that would violate the laws of the universe. Jesus also never fought outside the laws of Heaven.
Accordingly, when we wage the universal fight in the Last Days, we must understand the laws of Heaven and learn how to fight in accordance with those laws. Although you might not be aware of it, Satan also cannot be so insolent as to fight in a way that transgresses the laws of Heaven.
For this reason, when you set conditions of restoration and fight Satan, if you deviate from the Will of God, then Satan will accuse you. Even Jesus was not exempt. Whoever violates the principle, Satan will attack without mercy.
Then, why does God, who aspires to be lord of all creation, not bring Satan under His control? It is because Satan does not have God’s unchanging nature—quite the opposite. God is unchanging while Satan is always changing to suit himself. God is unique and Satan is not; God is eternal while Satan is temporal.
This, in essence, is their dividing line. Why, then, are human beings the objects of both God’s desire and Satan’s desire? People stand between God and Satan. They have qualities that can relate to both God’s world and Satan’s world.
Is someone who changes from moment to moment more on God’s side or Satan’s side? Is someone who is constantly creating divisions and fights in the home more susceptible to God or to Satan?
What about the person who is immersed in his daily affairs and does not think about the whole, or the world, or history, or eternity, or any kind of long-term vision?
What about the person who is immersed in his daily affairs and does not think about the whole, or the world, or history, or eternity, or any kind of long-term vision?
What about a father who neglects his wife and children, who only goes off to the local bar and drinks every night, seeking his own pleasure? Certainly, Satan will claim such people.
Hell on EarthWe are living in a fallen realm. That is why we need to live a life of faith. Remember this, and always be aware that Satan governs this fallen world in which we live our daily lives. This is not merely a concept; it is reality.
How to Conquer Satan With God's Word
The Bible exhorts us to pray ceaselessly. The Devil can attack us and even work through us twenty- four hours a day. Although God is with us, He stays in a vertical relationship with only the mind as His base; how effectively, then, can He work with us?
Satan can come at us from any direction, from 360 degrees; hence we are bound to be overwhelmed.
Evil activity in the spirit world had been increasing gradually ever since the Human Fall. But the situation changed drastically in the 1980s, when hosts of evil spirits descended to the earth and greatly increased their activities there.
Why did this happen?
In former centuries, when the central figures of the Providence did not know the identity of Satan, the root of sin, or the nature of the Original Sin, Satan felt at ease and could take his time creating his self-centered world.

However, when the True Parents, the Messiah and True Woman reverse Adam and Eve our first parents mistakes, the world the situation began to change. The True Parents revealed the identity of Satan.
Satan Needs Object Partner to Do Evil Works
Just like God needs a partner to do his works, Satan needs an object partner to do his evil work. This is through earthly people who have died and became evil spirits and through you and I - no matter how faithful we are. Our every moment, we decide which side we choose, hell or heaven's.
If at the beginning of creation, a family could have been realized in which God and man could have united in a relationship of True Love, today we would not have to worry about Hell or Heaven because we would have automatically entered the Kingdom of God while still on earth.
The problem here is that God's true love and true man's love did not begin at a common point, united as a subjective and objective love. God's love and man's love began in two different directions with two different goals.
Therefore, it has been impossible to realize the ideal world which God and man long for. God's ideal of beginning in a common point was completely frustrated. False parents arose centered on Satan's love. By being their descendants, we inherited that false love, that false life and that false lineage and are thus destined for Hell.
We have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven. We did not know that we were supposed to conquer God's love through our conscience by being people whose spirit dominated our body through willpower.
Have you heard the expression "love-sick"? If someone is "love-sick", when we can solve the cause of his sickness, all of his problems will be solved. The human being is a sinner but there remains within him a part of Adam's original nature. This is what causes man to miss God's love like someone who is love-sick.

Satan is constantly accusing all people before God, as he did Job, in order to drag them into hell. However, even Satan cannot perpetrate his evil activity unless he first finds an object partner with whom he can form a common base and engage in give and take action. Satan’s object partners are evil spirits in the spirit world. The object partners to these evil spirits are the spirit selves of evil people on the earth, and the vehicles through which these evil spirit selves act are their physical selves.
Accordingly, the power of Satan is conveyed through evil spirits and is manifested in the activities of earthly people. For example, Satan entered into Judas Iscariot (Luke 22.3), and Jesus once called Peter “Satan.” (Matt. 16.33) In the Bible, the spirits of evil earthly men are called “angels” of the devil. (Matt. 25.41)
The Kingdom of Heaven on earth is a restored world in which Satan can no longer instigate any activity. To realize this world, it is necessary for all humanity to eliminate their common base with
Satan and not engage in give and take action with him.
God cannot avoid working to separate good from evil and thus reverse this situation. God is public-minded and continues on the path of living for the whole and going toward the goal of love and peace. On the other hand, Satan is selfish and individualistic. Satan is always trying to destroy the good side through hate, evil and war. His intent is to prevent earth from returning eternally to God's side.
God cannot severely punish humanity after having gone with Satan. God's strategy for regaining humanity to His side is to allow that evil to attack Him. Later, He can claim indemnity for damages and abuses.
Satan's strategy is to strike first but in the end loses everything. Satan has come throughout history wishing to ruin God's plan with hate, with evil and war while on the contrary God has been working to recreate love and peace.
In the Last days, humanity will return to God's side and evil will lose support and respect. For that reason, Satan introduced atheistic materialism, humanism and communism to stop that from happening. That was the essence of the Cold War between right and left.
After the Second World War, with the victory of the Christian world, there began an era of transition toward a world of peace.
The present era is the era of the realm of individualism, the era of free sex, the era of children denying parents, the era of parents denying children, the era of denying the couple. Through lesbianism and homosexuality, an attempt is being made to completely destroy the family ideal which the Messiah in his Second Coming intends to establish in order to change this hell into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
