It's interesting to me how the Bible seems to clearly indicate that Satan's power over humanity decreases with the advent of the Kingdom of Heaven, but that Christians throughout history have devised various ways of creating a powerful Satan who rivals God himself! The nuance of the power to accuse vs. the power to tempt was interesting to explore. We are exhorted many times in the NT to resist temptation - when we do so, we render Satan completely powerless!
