   vq;fs; RtpNr\k; kiwnghUshapUe;jhy;> nfl;Lg;Nghfpwtu;fSf;Nf mJ kiwnghUshapUf;Fk;.

   1. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

2. 4. NjtDila rhayhapUf;fpw fpwp];Jtpd; kfpikahd RtpNr\j;jpd; xsp mtpRthrpfshfpa mtu;fSf;Fg; gpufhrkhapuhjgbf;F> ,g;gpugQ;rj;jpd; Njtdhdtd; mtu;fSila kdijf; FUlhf;fpdhd;.

   1. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Although Satan was defeated on the cross, he still has some limited power to deceive and seduce people, for a short time. In the book of revelation we see that one day the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

At this time in this world, many people are going away from God. This is a system that is ruled by Satan. Man is separating from his Creator by his spirit of self-sufficiency and is choosing to voluntarily reject God. The word ‘world’ refers to the great evil system or order, over which Satan has authority. This ‘world’ that is ruled by the satanic system, indeed has, “many evil undertakings, ideals and federation” (Chafer, 2012, p.36). In this lesson, we study the ideals or principles of this evil satanic system.

1. Three times, Jesus refers to Satan as the prince of this world (Satanic system).

   1. Nahthd; 12:31.
      ,g;nghONj ,e;j cyfj;Jf;F epahaj;jPu;g;G cz;lhfpwJ; ,g;nghONj ,e;j cyfj;jpd; mjpgjp Gwk;ghfj; js;sg;gLthd;.

      Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

   2. Nahthd; 14:30.
      ,dp ehd; cq;fSlNd mjpfkha; NgRtjpy;iy. ,e;j cyfj;jpd; mjpgjp tUfpwhd;. mtDf;F vd;dplj;jpy; xd;Wkpy;iy.

      Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

   3. Nahthd; 16:11.
      ,e;j cyfj;jpd; mjpgjp epahae;jPu;f;fg;gl;ljpdhNy epahaj;jPu;g;igf;Fwpj;Jk;> fz;bj;J czu;j;Jthu;.

      Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

2. Paul refers to Satan, as the, “prince of the power of the air”

   1. vNgrpau; 2:2.
      mitfspy; ePq;fs; Kw;fhyj;jpNy ,t;Tyf tof;fj;jpw;Nfw;wgbahfTk;> fPo;g;gbahikapd; gps;isfsplj;jpy; ,g;nghOJ fpupianra;fpw Mfhaj;J mjpfhug; gpuGtpd; Mtpf;Nfw;wgbahfTk; ele;Jnfhz;Bu;fs;.

      Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3. John acknowledges that Satan is in the world, but Satan is weaker than the Holy Spirit.

   1. I Nahthd; 4:4.
      gps;isfNs> ePq;fs; NjtdhYz;lhapUe;J> mtu;fis n[apj;jPu;fs;; Vnddpy; cyfj;jpypUf;fpwtdpYk; cq;fspypUf;fpwtu; ngupatu;.

      Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1. Satan does only evil things. All who follow this evil system are directly under the condemnation of God.

   1. Nahthd; 318.
      mtiu tpRthrpf;fpwtd; Mf;fpidf;Fs;shfj; jPu;f;fg;glhd;; tpRthrpahjtNdh NjtDila xNuNgwhd FkhuDila ehkj;jpy; tpRthrKs;stdhapuhjgbapdhy;> mtd; Mf;fpidj;jPu;g;Gf;Fl;gl;lhapw;W.

      He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

2. Paul describes the quality and evil nature of those who follow the Satanic System.

   1. 10. me;jg;gbNa: ePjpkhd; xUtdhfpYk; ,y;iy

      As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

   2. 11. czu;Ts;std; ,y;iy; Njtidj; NjLfpwtd; ,y;iy

      There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

   3. 12. vy;yhUk; topjg;gp> Vfkha;f; nfl;Lg;Nghdhu;fs;; ed;iknra;fpwtd; ,y;iy> xUtdhfpYk; ,y;iy

      They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

   4. 13. mtu;fs; njhz;il jpwf;fg;gl;l gpNujf;Fop> jq;fs; ehTfshy; tQ;ridnra;fpwhu;fs;; mtu;fSila cjLfspd; fPNo ghk;gpd; tp\k; ,Uf;fpwJ

      Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

   5. 14. mtu;fs; tha; rgpg;gpdhYk; frg;gpdhYk; epiwe;jpUf;fpwJ

      Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

   6. 15. mtu;fs; fhy;fs; ,uj;jQ;rpe;Jfpwjw;Fj; jPtpupf;fpwJ

      Their feet are swift to shed blood:

   7. 16. ehrKk; epu;g;ge;jKk; mtu;fs; topfspypUf;fpwJ

      Destruction and misery are in their ways:

   8. 17. rkhjhd topia mtu;fs; mwpahjpUf;fpwhu;fs

      And the way of peace have they not known:

   9. 18. mtu;fs; fz;fSf;F Kd;ghfj; nja;tgakpy;iy> vd;W vOjpapUf;fpwNj.

      There is no fear of God before their eyes.

3. James warns us that the friendship with this world (Satanic system) is enmity with God.

   1. ahf;NfhG 4:4.
      tpgrhuNu> tpgrhupfNs> cyf rpNefk; NjtDf;F tpNuhjkhd gifnad;W mwpaPu;fsh? Mifahy; cyfj;Jf;Fr; rpNefpjdhapUf;f tpUk;Gfpwtd; NjtDf;Fg; gifQdhfpwhd;.

      Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

4. Paul wants us to be delivered from this evil age (satanic system)

   1. fyhj;jpau; 1:4.
      mtu; ek;ik ,g;nghOjpUf;fpw nghy;yhj gpugQ;rj;jpdpd;W tpLtpf;Fk;gb ek;Kila gpjhthfpa NjtDila rpj;jj;jpd;gbNa ek;Kila ghtq;fSf;fhfj; jk;ikj;jhNk xg;Gf;nfhLj;jhu;

      Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5. Paul wants us not to be conformed to this present age (satanic system)

   1. Nuhku; 12:2.
      ePq;fs; ,e;jg; gpugQ;rj;jpw;F xj;j Nt\e;jupahky;> NjtDila ed;ikAk; gpupaKk; gupG+uzKkhd rpj;jk; ,d;dnjd;W gFj;jwpaj;jf;fjhf> cq;fs; kdk; GjpjhfpwjpdhNy kW&gkhFq;fs;.

      And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1. Jesus destroyed the devil, who had the power of death, thus giving life and freedom to those who believe in His name.

   1. vgpnuau; 2:14.
      Mjyhy;> gps;isfs; khk;rj;ijAk; ,uj;jj;ijAk; cilatu;fshapUf;f> mtUk; mtu;fisg;Nghy khk;rj;ijAk; ,uj;jj;ijAk; cilatuhdhu;; kuzj;Jf;F mjpfhupahfpa gprhrhdtidj; jkJ kuzj;jpdhNy mopf;Fk;gbf;Fk;>

      Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

   2. 15. [Ptfhynky;yhk; kuzgaj;jpdhNy mbikj;jdj;jpw;Fs;shdtu;fs; ahtiuAk; tpLjiygz;Zk;gbf;Fk; mg;gbahdhu;.

      And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

2. Satan has bound this woman for 18 for years directly affecting her health

   1. Y}f;fh 13:16. ,Njh> rhj;jhd; gjpndl;L tU\kha;f; fl;bapUe;j Mgpufhkpd; Fkhuj;jpahfpa ,tis Xa;Tehspy; ,e;jf;fl;bypUe;J mtpo;j;JtplNtz;bajpy;iyah vd;whu;.

      And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

3. Satan asked permission from God to attack the skin, bone and flesh of Job

   1. NahG 2:4.
      rhj;jhd; fu;j;jUf;Fg; gpujpAj;jukhf: NjhYf;Fg; gjpyhfj; NjhiyAk;> jd; [PtDf;Fg; gjpyhfj; jdf;F cz;lhd vy;yhtw;iwAk; kD\d; nfhLj;JtpLthd;.

      And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

   2. 5. MdhYk; ePu; ck;Kila ifia ePl;b> mtd; vYk;igAk; mtd; khk;rj;ijAk; njhLtPuhdhy;> mg;nghOJ mtd; ckJ Kfj;Jf;F vjpNu ck;ikj; J}\pf;fhNdh ghUk; vd;whd;.

      But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

1. Satanic system is a corrupt system that corrupts and dehumanizes the masses. The cravings of these temptations which contradict God’s word, is from the evil one.

   1. I Nahthd; 2:16.
      Vnddpy;> khk;rj;jpd; ,r;irAk;> fz;fspd; ,r;irAk;> [Ptdj;jpd; ngUikAkhfpa cyfj;jpYs;sitfnsy;yhk; gpjhtpdhYz;lhditfsy;y> mitfs; cyfj;jpdhYz;lhditfs;.

      For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

2. People of this world (satanic system) fight, whereas the kingdom of God is not from here.

   1. Nahthd; 18:36.
      ,NaR gpujpAj;jukhf: vd; uh[;ak; ,t;Tyfj;jpw;Fupajy;y> vd; uh[;ak; ,t;Tyfj;jpw;Fupajhdhy; ehd; A+juplj;jpy; xg;Gf;nfhLf;fg;glhjgbf;F vd; Copaf;fhuu; NghuhbapUg;ghu;fNs; ,g;gbapUf;f vd; uh[;ak; ,t;tplj;jpw;Fupajy;y vd;whu;.

      Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

1. The goods of this world (satanic system) should not consume us, rather we must use them for God

   1. I Nahthd; 3:17.
      xUtd; ,t;Tyf M];jp cilatdhapUe;J> jd; rNfhjuDf;Ff; Fiwr;rYz;nld;W fz;L> jd; ,Ujaj;ij mtDf;F milj;Jf;nfhz;lhy;> mtDf;Fs; Njt md;G epiynfhs;Sfpwnjg;gb?

      But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

2. The cares of this age (satanic system), should not be allowed to take root in our lives. We must use the things in the world but we must not be slave of those things in this world.

   1. khw;F 4:18.
      trdj;ijf; Nfl;Lk;> cyff;ftiyfSk;> IRtupaj;jpd; kaf;fKk;> kw;witfisg;gw;wp cz;lhfpw ,r;irfSk; cl;gpuNtrpj;J> trdj;ij neUf;fpg; Nghl> mjpdhy; gydw;Wg;Nghfpwhu;fs;;

      And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

   2. 19. ,tu;fNs Ks;Ss;s ,lq;fspy; tpijf;fg;gl;ltu;fs;.

      And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

1. Satanic system hates Christ and His followers

   1. Nahthd; 15:18.
      cyfk; cq;fisg; gifj;jhy;> mJ cq;fisg; giff;fpwjw;FKd;Nd vd;idg; gifj;jnjd;W mwpAq;fs;.

      If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

   2. 19. ePq;fs; cyfj;jhuhapUe;jhy;> cyfk; jd;Dilaijr; rpNefpj;jpUf;Fk;; ePq;fs; cyfj;jhuhapuhjgbapdhYk;> ehd; cq;fis cyfj;jpypUe;J njupe;Jnfhz;lgbapdhYk;> cyfk; cq;fisg; giff;fpwJ.

      If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

2. Do not be surprise when the world (satanic system) hates you

   1. I Nahthd; 3:13.
      vd; rNfhjuNu> cyfk; cq;fisg; gifj;jhy; Mr;rupag;glhjpUq;fs;.

      Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

1. Soon this age (satanic age) will go away.

   1. II NgJU 3:10.
      fu;j;jUila ehs; ,utpNy jpUld; tUfpwtpjkha; tUk;; mg;nghOJ thdq;fs; klkl vd;W mfd;WNghk;> G+jq;fs; nte;J cUfpg;Nghk;> G+kpAk; mjpYs;s fpupiafSnkupe;J mope;JNghk;.

      But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

2. Satan only has a short time

   1. 12. Mifahy; guNyhfq;fNs! mitfspy; thrkhapUf;fpwtu;fNs! fsp$Uq;fs;. G+kpapYk; rKj;jpuj;jpYk; FbapUf;fpwtu;fNs! INah> gprhrhdtd; jdf;Ff; nfhQ;rf;fhykhj;jpuk; cz;nld;W mwpe;J> kpFe;j Nfhgq;nfhz;L> cq;fsplj;jpy; ,wq;fpdgbahy;> cq;fSf;F Mgj;JtUk; vd;W nrhy;yf;Nfl;Nld;.

      Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
