Satan is not a dead person  He is a spiritual being and always was.  Is Satan omnipresent?  No. 


 

Amen...Exactly, the language spoken by God from the kingdom of heaven is clear. And although some do acquire Alzheimer's (memory loss) earlier than others, just as with vision, teeth or hearing, etc . They are indicators leading toward death and the last day here on this earth (under the sun)  knowing all have sinned and have fell short of the glory of God. On the last day when they breathe their last breath…..its Alzheimer's for everyone the moment we die.

The former things will not be remembered or ever come to mind. And when we do enter that promised land called the new Jerusalem, as the mother of us all there will be no male or female, Jew or Gentile, but we will receive new bodies like the angels there will no way to procreate.. This means no Kings or widowed Queen mothers.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Now, while saints are living on this earth that will be destroyed, it is the one time when saints are reigning with Christ and can continue to work and enter His rest as He does comfort us with His living, abiding words which he describes are a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path shinning brighter and brighter every day... Which does seem dead and therefore not light but darkness to others for some reason or other? And therefore words like "forever" or “anything” must be ignored in order for them to keep their necromancy doctrines to them alive.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion "forever" in any thing that is done under the sun.Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.Ecc 9:6

Scripture performs the warning to those who practice necromancy and also informs us if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isa 8:19


The problem as it seems with those like the Catholics who do practice necromancy as did the Jews through biblical history. They refuse to hearken unto the warnings in regard to seeking after workers with familiar spirits which they must call patron saints and scripture clearly calls an abomination.. We can see that work of iniquity which God calls a abomination being put away according to the true one source of faith when Josiah performed the words of the "law" which were written in the book (Bible). But because the fathers which scripture identifies is the “law of the fathers” They had become a law unto themselves just as the fathers(efc’s) of the Catholic denomination, many continued to ignore the words of the Bible as the final authority in matters of faith and morals... 

2Ki 23:24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the "abominations" that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
