[23]  Satan is the ruler of this system of things

3 years after Adam sinned and was thrown out of the garden, Satan was given secular rulership over mankind in return for his firstborn angelic rights by Michael who had agreed to ransom Adam and been given a 6,000 year headlease over Adam. and all of his begotten children - see U17. Paul says...

14 Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come (Romans 5).

17 For if by the trespass of the one [man] death ruled as king through that one, much more will those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness rule as kings in life through the one [person], Jesus Christ (Romans 5).

Death is Satan's name since he brought it about. Jesus is called 'the life', and Satan is called 'the death', or perhaps just plain 'death' to his friends. So he ruled from Adam down to Moses over everyone because of the trespass of the one man Adam and more particularly due to the greater bowl of soup deal - see U17.. God himself ruled the Jews as Caesar once they agreed to obey the Law Covenant (which was both secular and sacred). Satan continued to rule mankind until the end of his 6,000 year lease on 2012Nisan14. Then he had a further extension in rulership for 2,000 days of Mark5 to payback his 1st century eviction and then a further extension for Jesus' miracle ministry which gave him another 1266 days (the length of the period wherein Jesus exercised Kingdom power in Satan's system from the first miracle at Cana on 29Heshvan29 to Pentecost on 33Sivan5) 

There is no point in have such authority unless you can wield it with a global perspective. Satan has been trying to create that perspective through the earthly spying agencies. But their vision is very limited when compared to the ark from which heavenly mountain/administration one can see all the kingdoms of the earth in an instant of time...

8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, (Matthew 4 NWT)
5 So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time; (Luke 4 NWT)

He is referred to in scripture as the God of this system of things...

3 If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing,
4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through (2 Corinthians 4).
 
He is 'the ruler of the world' for Jesus said, just before he died:

30 I shall not speak much with you anymore, for the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me (John 14).

Satan had no hold of Jesus because Jesus was non adamic and Satan's sublease was over Adam. But this ruler will be chucked out:

31 Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out (John 12).

In fact he is locked up for most of the kingdom of God, as we shall see below. 

So the end of the world, is the end of his world, not the end of the planet. It is the end of his system of things which is the current system of things, a system which started at the founding of the world. The founding of the world was the agreement by Jesus to ransom Adam after his trespass. For that agreement gave man a future that Satan had tried to deny us. This was the start of the 7th creative day of Genesis, when God rested from his creative works:

3 For we who have exercised faith do enter into the rest, just as he has said: So I swore in my anger, They shall not enter into my rest, although his works were finished from the founding of the world [on 3993Nisan14].
4 For in one place he has said of the seventh day as follows: And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,
5 and again in this place: They shall not enter into my rest (Hebrews 4).

God's last creative act was to make some clothes for Adam and Eve at the time of their sin. Actually it took him 3 days to zap their genes and transform them from non adamic ageless to adamic ageing from 3993Nisan14-3993Nisan15, following the pattern of the death and resurrection of the Christ, the last Adam. 

21 And Jehovah God proceeded to make long garments of skin for Adam and for his wife and to clothe them (Genesis 3).

This scripture is literally true, God did make them both clothes. But it also has a greater meaning, a cryptic meaning, a Times crossword meaning, as we have seen in I15. So Adam's sin was the founding of the World, the beginning of the current system of things. And the God of this system of things, the secular ruler of this world, is Satan, whose name is death. This is how Satan was able to offer all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus, if he would perform one act of worship to him:

5 So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.
6 And the Devil said to him: I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it.
7 You, therefore, if you do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.
8 In reply Jesus said to him: It is written, It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service (Luke 4).

Jesus did not say, who are you kidding? You do not own any kingdoms! He knew that Satan did have these kingdoms to give, because he gave them to him for 6,000 years in return for Satan's firstborn angelic rights - see U27. He also knew that Satan had the practice of giving them to various people. But Jesus was not interested in status, or in the glory of men, and he certainly did not want to be first lieutenant to a lying murderer whom he himself had empowered. 

It is of course a huge realisation that Satan is the God of this system of things and the ruler of the world. And we appreciate that if this concept is new to the reader it may cause some serious consternation. But remember that Satan can only act within prescribed limits set by God. God is the referee here, and Satan is just a very dirty team captain, he is not the head of FIFA (although some might disagree). But he does have a lot of supporters. 

God only allows Satan's continued existence and authority in order that we can learn from him without having ourselves to become like him. But nonetheless the world is the Titanic and Satan is the captain, and Sin is the iceberg, but Jesus is the lifeboat. However in his case it will not be the rich ones who get in first, whilst the poor are locked in below, in fact quite the reverse. Anyone and everyone who wants to get in and be saved will be, and the rich, because they falsely believe that they have got it made already, will, in general find it harder to leave their comfort zone. They can be trapped by their own physical success. Come on guys, wake up!!  In fact the scripture says

19 We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one (1 John 5).

Here is all the divine authority of Satan and the Dragon...

1254 day ministry payback (29Heshvan29 to 33Sivan5 less 33Nisan14-16 and 33Iyyar25-Sivan5) runs from 2016Nisan17/Iyyar16 to 2019Tishri11/Heshvan10 - 1254 days.

Jesus entire earthly trip ran from 29Elul10 to 33Iyyar25, 1335 days of Daniel 12:12, after which Jesus became of God to be worshipped on 33Sivan5. 
From the loss of the constant feature of Jesus' worship in heaven, due to the transgression causing desolation of Adam necessitating a ransom, we have 1290 days of Daniel 12:11 to the end of Jesus' ministry outside of the temple. 
Jesus' miracle ministry lasting 1266 days in 12 of which Jesus was absent. So he was here doing miracles for 1254 days.¹³⁸

¹⁹Jesus' 50 month non adamic restoration lease and Satan's 42 month ministry payback lease over Adam and Cain

Jesus paid back Satan's 2000 day heavenly eviction the minute Satan's lease expired. He repaid it from 2012Nisan16 to 2017Heshvan6. But he did not payback the loss of Caesarship during his ministry, immediately. He first took 50 months as Caesar to Adam and Cain in order to resurrect his people Abrahamically and then Isaaically (as Caesar to Abraham). He had to do that in order for true churches to continue to exist. Because we could only work as Adam for 6,000 years from 3989Sivan5 BC, no more. Then at the Isaaic Passover on 2016Ab14, on the last day of his being Caesar to ex adamic Abraham  he executed LW Abraham and converted us to become LW Isaac on 2016Ab16. Jesus has to be Caesar to Adam or to Cain or to Abraham in order to resurrect him (or he can gene zap us on the 14th and we automatically receive a standing resurrection on the 16th?). Caesars to Adam are appointed/installed at 1NC type (weekly interposing Sabbath) first fruits/Pentecost. Caesars to Cain, Abraham and Isaaic are appointed/installed at Zoar (festival interposing Sabbath) first fruits/Pentecost¹⁹.

¹⁵Satan's 6,000 year lease from 3989Nisan16 BC ended on 2012Nisan14 AD. Then we had 50 months of Michael's non adamic restoration lease (4 years of being installed as Caesar to Adam/Cain Abraham from 2012Nisan16/Iyyar16/Sivan16 to 2016Sivan14/Tammuz14/Ab14). Then the 2000 day possession payback period from 2012Sivan20/Tammuz16 to 2019Chislev14/Tebbeth10. Then the 8 month war of Revelation12:7 to 2022Elul14, the heavenly demonic Passover. Then 6 months of Revelation 12:8 of no place being found for them in heaven plus 31 days of going through the Tsohar and down Jacob's ladder in the ark to to 2023Nisan24, the start of demon possession. Then a further 2000 pigs of Mark5 from 2023Nisan24 to 2028Heshvan14, the end of demon possession. 

The 80 month WW3, the fiery furnace of Daniel3:19, is the 80 day grand evening meal of God of Revelation19 from 2025Shebat2/3 to 2032Tishri4/5 - see U151#19. This meal is eaten in the ark, when we are treated to the real time movie of the demons persuading not Adam and Eve to make our species extinct. But the house of Adam, and the house of Eve, to make our species extinct.

17 I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, (NWT)
18 in order that you might eat fleshes of kings and fleshes of chiliarchs and fleshes of strong [men] and fleshes of horses and of the (ones) sitting upon them, and fleshes of all freemen and and of slaves and of little (ones) and of great (ones). (Revelation 19 KIT)

The meal is WW3 from 2025Shebat2/3 to 2032Tishri4/5. It is not a meal that anybody wants to eat. But it is our inoculation against the futility of war. So eat it we must. It ends at the end of non salvation covenant Adam and non salvation covenant Cain, when there is no flesh left to eat. The Great Tribulation of Matthew24 and the Unprecedented Tribulation on Mark13 end during Hebrew winter on 2028Tebbeth2 (132x of Revelation 19:21 before 2029Iyyar14, the end of FRC victory). But WW3 continues until the summer of 2032.

¹⁴⁸15 Whenever therefore you might see the disgusting thing of the desolation the (thing) spoken through Daniel the prophet having stood in place holy, the (one) reading let him be minding,
16 then the (ones) in the Judea let them be fleeing into the mountains,
17 the (one) upon the housetop not let him come down to lift up the (things) out of the house of him,
18 and the (one) in the field not let him return behind to lift up the outer garment of him.
19 Woe but to the (ones) in belly having and the (ones) giving suck in those the days
20 Be yeu praying but in order that not should occur the flight of yeu of winter and not to Sabbath; (Matthew 24 KIT)
20 proseucesqe de    ina    mh   genhtai h fugh umwn ceimwnoj mhde sabbatw (Matthew 24 VatB)
21 will be for then tribulation great of what sort not has occurred from beginning of world until of the now not-but not not should occur.
22 And if not were shortened the days those, not likely was saved all flesh; through but the chosen ones will be shortened the days those. (Matthew 24 KIT)

Verse 19: (2x+2x).2x = 8x: 'the in belly having' is challenging to count. The dog outside the house counts 2x. The dog inside the house counts 1x. The wine in the glass counts 1x. The wine on the table counts 2x. So the [one] in belly having [a baby] counts 1x. Whereas the woman having 2 sons counts 3x. The woman having a son counts 1x for the process of having (an action) and 2x for the condition of possessing sons (a state)
Verse20: 2x.(1x+1x) = 4x
Verse21: 1x+1x+1x = 3x
Total: (8x+4x).3x = 36x. But those days are shortened, by the sentence count of 36x in day from 36 months of 1080 days to 1044 days, the exact length of the GT - well WADDUUNO?      

The Great Tribulation runs for 1044 days of the sentence count of Revelation 7:13-17 from 2025Shebat8 to 2028Tebbeth2. 

14 However, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation standing where it ought not let the reader use discernment, then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains.
15 Let the man on the housetop not come down, nor go inside to take anything out of his house;
16 and let the man in the field not return to the things behind to pick up his outer garment.
17 Woe but to the (ones) in belly having and to the (ones) giving suck in those the days.
18 Be yeu praying but in order that not it might occur of winter;
19 will be for the days those tribulation of which sort not has occurred such from beginning of creation which created the God until the now and not not should occur.
20 And if not shortened Lord the days, not likely was saved all flesh. But through the chosen (ones) whom he chose he shortened the days. (Mark 13 KIT)

Verse 17: (2x+2x).2x = 8x: 'the in belly having' is challenging to count. The dog outside the house counts 2x. The dog inside the house counts 1x. The wine in the glass counts 1x. The wine on the table counts 2x. So the [one] in belly having [a baby] counts 1x. Whereas the woman having 2 sons counts 3x. The woman having a son counts 1x for the process of having (an action) and 2x for the condition of possessing sons (a state)
Verse18: 2x
Verse19: 1x+1x+1x = 3x
Total: (8x+2x).3x = 30x. But THE days are shortened (2x) by 2 days resulting in 28 days of the Unprecedented Tribulation during the 28 month ride of the 4th horseman of the apocalypse. These are the 28 days of nuclear war, ending on 2028Tebbeth2, 132 days of the sentence count of Revelation19:21 before 2029Iyyar14, the 6th crop Passover of Revelation22, the late non religious FRC Passover, the end of FRC salvation. So the Unprecedented Tribulation runs from 2028Chislev4 to 2028Tebbeth2.
We take verse 20 logically rather than counting it completely. Shortening the days is recited twice.

So the Great Tribulation reaches into 4 winters¹⁴⁸.

Likewise in the judicial example of Sodom and Gomorrah of Genesis19 is explained by Jude...

6 And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.
7 So too Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they in the same manner as the foregoing ones [the demons of verse6] had committed fornication excessively and gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before [us] as a [warning] example by undergoing the judicial punishment of age-lasting fire (Jude 1 NWT).

And explained by Peter...

5 and he did not hold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with 7 others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people;
6 and by reducing the cities Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them, setting a pattern for ungodly persons of things to come; (2 Peter 2 NWT)

It is the descended demons who are causing the woke cult and the genital mutilation of minors for the sexual and financial gratification of perverted adults. The lesson of Genesis19 and Leviticus18 and Jude and 2Peter2 is that perversion brings lava. It is that simple. Climate change does not bring lava. Perversion especially of innocent children will bring it. For all the men of the city from boy to old man were trying to have sex with the two angelically possessed men staying with Lot.

4 Before they could lie down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob.
5 And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them. (Genesis 19 NWT).

3 demons to each pig denotes 3 demonic fulfilments of the 2,000 days of possession, making a total of 6,000 days of demon possession, a legion of days. One in the first century and 2 in the 21st (the payback and the possession)¹⁵.
