Satan
with his ministers will be in charge of this world until Jesus returns to set
up His kingdom and rule with an iron fist to restore all things to the way that
the Father wants.

(Isa
5:20 NIV) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and
sweet for bitter.
(Exo
23:2 NIV) "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.
When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the
crowd,
(1
Pet 5:8-9 NIV) Be self-controlled and
alert. Your
enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour. {9} Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings.
(John
14:15 NIV) "If you love me, you will obey what I command.
(John
14:23 NIV) Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me,
he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come
to him and make our home with him.
(John
14:24 NIV) He who does not love me will not obey my
teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the
Father who sent me.
(John
15:10 NIV) If you obey my commands, you will remain in my
love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his
love.
(1
John 5:3 NIV) This is love for God: to obey his commands.
And his commands are not burdensome,
(Mal
2:17 NIV) You have wearied the LORD with your words.
"How have we wearied him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil
are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or
"Where is the God of justice?"
(Rev
12:9 NIV) The great dragon was hurled
down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
(2
Cor 4:4 NIV) The god of this age has blinded the
minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the
glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
You ask an interesting question. “Certainly, we would not be judging
good angels, do you think?” This
is my personal opinion; the word for angel is “messenger” as used with talking
about angels of God, not demons. Because
of space, I left out vs 2, where you and I are Saints, we will judge the world
in the future from what Paul tells us.
This is one of the reason we are to learn from the Teaching, commands
and example of our Lord, Jesus so we will know how to have the proper judgment
for the angels and the world. This is
one of the responsibilities of a Saint in the future. Exciting and hesitating at the same
time. Blessing
