John Crandell: How can people still think Satan is still around today?

John Crandell "The devil is known today to be a defeated foe because of what Jesus Christ our Saviour has done for us at the cross almost over 2000 years ago and counting. But, people today, as you know are still thinking that Satan is around do to the tragedies that are going on in our world these days. (HAHAHA, Way to go Preterists) When I say tragedies, I mean things like illnesses or even worse yet because of the 9/11 attack that happen back in the year 2001 in New York City by the fall of the twin towers."

"you can see that they are mentioning that Satan has been destroyed along with the Old Covenantal system, which Christ has done upon our behalf at the cross. And, even better yet, God showed us that the Old Covenant has ended through His return in judgment when Titus’ Roman army destroyed Jerusalem, along with the temple, on September of A.D. 70."
(Historic Fallacy)

"How in the world can something over 2,000 plus years be near after looking in Daniel where he was told to seal the books for the time was a far off? If you add the years from Daniel all the way to Revelation, it will seem to add up between 500 to 600 years. So, how can a number that is 600 be far off and another number which is 2,000 plus more years added, as time goes by, while waiting for the return you are looking forward for, be near? It sounds totally impossible to me for something to be near when we have already gone way over 600 years, after the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, that was considered far off for Daniel. I hope that this gives you something to think about."
