About this episode

Mike D'Virgilio discusses the biblical case that Christ's first coming bound Satan, impacting the advancement of the gospel and His kingdom.

Is Satan still ruling the world, or did Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension fundamentally change history? In this episode, Mike D'Virgilio explores the biblical case that Satan was bound at Christ's first coming, limiting his ability to deceive the nations and opening the way for the Great Commission to advance. Drawing from Revelation 20, John 12, Matthew 12, Luke 10, Genesis 12, and Matthew 28, this discussion argues that the gospel is about more than individual salvation—it's about Christ's present reign and His kingdom bringing blessing, redemption, and transformation to the nations.
