This is an obvious reference to satan since he is the temporary god of this world, an authority he got when Adam bowed his knee to satan in the garden of eden.
Jesus is not yet in full control of this world.
Hebrews 2:8
Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. for in that
He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put
under Him. But now we see not yet all things put under Him
Isn’t that the word satan wasn’t in your post what could reasonably be considered to be obvious?
Satan isn’t a temporary God. That might be insulting to God frankly. There’s only one God & God isn’t temporary.
Satan is ego, the separate self of thought. The “knower” of good & bad.
As it’s believed “
I’m separate”, it’s simultaneously believed “…
and there’s a universe, world, earth, people, I’m breathing”… yada yada. Essentially, that this isn’t heaven
already. Then of course the primary motive of the separate self of thoughts is… getting into heaven. But one can no more get into heaven than run to where one is standing. The separate self of thoughts is most notably - never actually present. Believing these “things” (thoughts)
is what “bowing the knee to satan”
is.
Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. for in that
He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put
under Him. But now we see not yet all things put under Him
Yes, definitely. Do that. Acknowledge what is subjective as subjective, what is objective as objective, and what is ineffable as ineffable.
(Acknowledge as in for your well-being, not for me or any thing.)
