KINGDOMS: From the beginning, Satan showed his cunning and deceit in the Garden of Eden as he lured Adam and Eve into sin. Since that pivotal event, the world has been under Satan's influence, swayed by his deceptions and manipulated by his power struggles. He has been the force behind many world empires, leading them astray from God's righteousness and purpose. This passage shows the shift from the dominion of the Devil to the eternal reign of Christ—the most momentous transition in history. Christ's taking over the reigns reflects the ultimate victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and God's divine purpose over earthly chaos. Satan may have temporary control, but the Bible assures us that the future belongs fully to Christ. The New Scofield Bible changes the "kingdoms" of this world to the singular "kingdom." Yet, the plural form of "kingdoms" references individual nations. Changing it to the singular form matches the Roman Catholic post-millennial teaching of a singular "spiritual kingdom" on earth before Christ's return. During Christ's earthly ministry, Jesus spoke of a future time when the world's kingdoms would become His kingdom. He will take control and reign. Throughout the gospels, Christ's teachings revolve around His Kingdom. John 18:36 Unlike all others, this kingdom transcends earthly boundaries, promising eternal peace, justice, and righteousness. While earthly kingdoms rise and fall, succumbing to corruption and power struggles, Christ's kingdom is unshakeable and eternal. Matthew 28:18 According to the Devil, he was given all the kingdoms of the world and the power to distribute rule over these kingdoms. This asser
