our lives and in our world. His name is Apollyon - the destroy- er; Satan - the accuser. In what C.S. Lewis calls “the deep magic from before time” God did not entirely leave dominion of the world in our hands. God retains ultimate rights of dominion. Our sin did (and does) give dominion to the enemy of our souls. Christ’s completed work on the cross assures that the devil’s hijacked dominion will completely come to an end one day. In the mean time, two opposing kingdoms exist in our world - God’s kingdom (only good all the time) and another one that is defined by its opposition to God’s kingdom. God’s kingdom is only good all the time. The other one destroys things and accuses people.
