*The Kingdom of Darkness: An Introduction*

In this article, we will be studying what the kingdom of darkness means, how we know about its existence, why it is important for us to study it, and finally, what you think about it, personally. The opposite of light is darkness just as the opposite of life is death. But is there anything like the dark kingdom? Is it physical, spiritual, or both? Let’s read the article for the answers.

What Do We Mean By The Kingdom of Darkness?

In Christianity, the kingdom of darkness refers to the evil realms where Satan and his angels, demons and evil spirits rule and reign. The kingdom of darkness is perceived to be a spiritual kingdom, but its activities can be seen in the physical world through natural disasters, manmade disasters, such as wars, famines, and much more.

Christianity teaches that all humans sinned through their father Adam, and their mother, Eve, and as the result, sin and death entered the world. This is the beginning of evil and suffering on the planet earth according to the Bible stories recorded in the first book of the Bible known as Genesis based of the first Hebrew word in the book.

However, in Africa Religion, God is the cause of both evil and good according to His will in relation to how we behave. God rewards those who live good lives, and this is good. On the other hand, God punishes those who do evil by causing evil in their lives, and this is evil. According to this African view, there is no Satan, and there is no dark kingdom. Evil exists as a punishment for the wrongdoing.

But in Islam and in Judaism, evil is caused by Satan, the fallen angel. This is because like Christianity, these also are known as Abrahamic religions simply because their beliefs are literally the same just as their origins. Just as it is in Africa Religion, Eastern religions don’t seem to see a personified figure. Evil is just karma, bad karma.

In Eastern religions, our human minds and their intelligence are the root causes of evil to individuals as well as to groups of people. Because we crave the things of this world, we stop living. We begin to fight all the time even when we should just relax and allow life to flow as it should. In other word, we cause the darkness ourselves. This doesn’t mean there is a dark kingdom haunting us all the time. We can be that dark kingdom. We are evil. We are not good because societies have taught us to worry about life and everything in it. This is what the Eastern religions see as the cause, not Satan or evil spirits as Christianity, Islam and Judaism teach.

How Do We Know About The Kingdom of Darkness?

As explained above, the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of Satan is only known and taught through Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This is because these are the religions, world religions who believe in the existence of Satan as the king of this dark kingdom whose purpose is to deceive, steal, kill, and to destroy lives. Satan is always depicted as a wild beast, ready to tear down his enemies.

We read about Satan in the Bible, Quran, and in Jewish religious texts. He is believed to have been created as a good angel, one of the best, the most glorious of all other angels. Because of this, Satan became too proud of his nature and wanted to overthrow God in heaven, thus, the war in heaven. Satan was then cast down to earth with all his angels.

That’s how evil came to earth. Not only that, Satan came and misled humans with the same pride, the same sin that brought him low to earth. There, all humans by nature will have to inherit his punishment in the lake of fire prepared for him and his angels, unless if humans repent and turn to God. This is purely a Christian worldview.

In Africa, there is no teaching about Satan as mentioned earlier. This is because Satan in Africa is only known through these new foreign religious ideas and concepts. Africans know only God, the Creator, and to them, no one and nothing can be His rival. He alone rules the heavens, the skies above, the earth, and the seas. Therefore, Satan and his dark kingdom are foreign ideas to Africans originally.

Thus, Africans don’t have a name or a word for Satan. They either call that name in Arabic, English, French, or in any other foreign language unknown and unclear to them. Because of this, there have been many different translations of that name into various African languages. Thus, we only know Satan and his kingdom of darkness through Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Is It Important To Know The Kingdom of Darkness?

Whether we believe Satan is real or not, that doesn’t matter. The force is real and even Africans experience such a dark force. African, like any other human race, has been, is, and will likely live under the influence of this dark realm, this dark spiritual kingdom. They knew and use it in various ways. Africans use the forces of darkness in the name of witchcraft and other evil ways to cause harm to each other. That’s the proof Satan and his demons are very real and they are at work.

But we are told Jesus, the Christ, came to destroy the works of the devil, and to give us eternal life. Jesus said he is the light of the world, and light is that which defines. Without light, we won’t know ourselves. At least we can’t see anything. In the same way, the kingdom of darkness loves the dark things of life: hatred, wars, death.

Even though Africans didn’t have a personal name for this force, or don’t just have the name anymore because we are no longer original Africans, Satan is that dark force, which is not part of God but His creature, a rebel leader. However, could this not be our own imagination since we also have leaders similar to God and some to Satan, here on earth?

As I write this, I know from deep inside my spirit that Satan is so real. God has already used me through the Name of Jesus to deliver some demon-possessed brothers and sisters, and for that very reason, I know Satan and his demons, the fallen angels, are real. I don’t need any external evidence of his existence because I came face-to-face with him several times.

In some cases, I just tell him to go and he does. But in some cases, too, he tries to argue with me. Oh, I know who I am in Christ Jesus! Jesus Christ then is not a Jew, neither white, but an Israelite in every way. This means we don’t have an excuse not to accept Him as Lord and Savior, individually, here in Africa. This is because Satan himself has a doctrine. He teaches that every human race has their messengers from God.

That’s partially true, and someone rightly said, “A half-truth is a whole lie.” Have you ever heard that before? Even though it’s true that each and every manmade religion teaches that it’s the only way to God and to truth, we have to study these claims. Christ rose from the dead, and no one else ever done this at the time of this writing.

At least I never heard of it. Not only that the Bible and other Christians told me these things, I am the eyewitness of some of these things as mentioned above. I have experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in my physical body in various occasions, and this can only happen in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thus, the kingdom of darkness is real, and it has a king of its own, Satan, the fallen Cherubim. People of all races and ages must understand this teaching because whether we believe in it or not, it’s true, anyway. Satan might have e better name, not even Lucifer, but for now, let’s call him Satan.

We just can’t understand how a living God, the most powerful God, could allow Satan to cause havoc in His creation. However, the Bible has the answer. Satan is soon going to be punished unless he repents and turns to God, something only him knows if it’s possible. This is because I don’t know if he will ever know he’s a sinner. In the same way, other people believe Satan is simply another evil side of God. That’s too high for me to comment on at the moment.

What Do You Think About The Kingdom of Darkness?

Now, what is your take in this topic? Do you believe the kingdom of darkness is real? Have you ever experienced Satan and his dark kingdom before? Have you ever experience the opposite kingdom, the kingdom of Light? These are reflective questions. I believe you have your say in this.

I don’t have to convince you that the kingdom of darkness is real, and that it has a king. Yet, you have your say, and you have free to have your opinions on this topic. Again, opinions don’t matter, facts matter the most. This is because what should always is, and this is like a tongue-twisting, isn’t it?

I wish there is no Satan. I wish there is no judgment day. I wish there is no death, even physical death. I wish there is no hell, the place where people who reject God forever will burn eternally without dying. I can’t imagine how cruel and disheartening this can be. However, my wishes are nothing more but mere wishes.

I don’t understand why there must only be one way to God, and also all religions on earth claim to be that way. Is that not confusing? But is God religious? Is God Christian, Muslim, or African? That’s the question we need to ask. Whatever we believe and teach about God doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that He exists. We will all know Him as we face Him one day. If there is none, we are going to see.
