Why Hasn’t God Removed Satan?
GTM – Why Hasn’t God Removed Satan?
By Lyall Johnston - 09/19/2025
This powerful message from Mr. Lyall Johnston offers a deep dive into world events, biblical prophecy, and the personal calling of every believer. Lyall Johnston begins by highlighting the rapidly escalating efforts of Satan to destroy mankind, drawing parallels between recent global and national scandals—including the turmoil and corruption exposed in the governments of Ephraim and Manasseh (Britain and America)—and the ancient history of iniquity found in Lucifer.
Mr. Johnston poses a profound question: Why didn't God remove Satan when he first rebelled? He meticulously unpacks the answer, drawing heavily from Ezekiel 28 and Romans 8, explaining that God is using this present conflict—this "incubator, planet Earth"—to perfect His called-out ones, the firstfruits of His harvest. The ultimate goal is to produce sons and daughters worthy of a crown of glory, who will serve as kings and priests to rule the earth alongside Christ after Satan is chained in the abyss.
Lyall emphasizes the necessity of patient endurance in overcoming the sin that dwells within, the evil of the surrounding society, and the deceptions of Satan. He powerfully reminds us that we are to be joint heirs with Christ, and that the suffering of the present time is not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed. The message concludes with an inspiring call to action, referencing Thomas Payne: "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." This video is essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand God's comprehensive plan of salvation and their vital role in the end-time events leading up to the return of Christ.
