anything else to be, because He is everywhere. God surrounds and fills
His whole creation.

Here is how the theologian describes God’s omnipresence. Now I am
quoting: “God is over all things, under all things, outside all things. He is
within, but He is not enclosed. He is without, but He is not excluded. He
is above, but He is not raised up. He is below, but He is not depressed.
He is wholly above, presiding, wholly beneath, sustaining, and wholly
within, filling. That is where God is. He is everywhere.”

But not Satan. Satan cannot occupy two places at the same time. Now I
gather from Ezekiel chapter 1, and verse 14, which describes the
cherubim, it says: “The living beings ran to and fro like bolts of
lightning.” I have an idea, though Satan is not omnipresent, he has
motion quicker than a fox. And like a bolt of lightning, since he was a
cherub. He is an angelic being, a fallen angel. He can go faster than
lightning, faster than the speed of light, any place he wants to be on the
earth. Can you imagine yourself in another part of the world. As fast as
you can think of being elsewhere Satan can be there.
Now watch. Just as fast as I thought of Connecticut, I went there in my
mind. Satan can go to Connecticut in his body, in his spirit. He just goes
back and forth. That is where he is. On the planet Earth darting back and
forth all over the place. He has a great army, according to the Bible, of
zealous followers. They are well-trained to execute his wishes. He just
sort of leaves all of his devilish schemes to them so that they can execute
it, and then he speeds to the ends of the earth to pursue some other
mischief. Where is Satan? Number one, he is on the earth.
You know, Hal Lindsay ought to write another book to answer the second
part, where is Satan? He is alive and well on the planet Earth, but look at
chapter 1, verse 6 and 7 “Now there was a day when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came
among them.” Chapter 2, verse 1 “Again there was a day when the
sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan
also came among them to present himself before the LORD.”
Where is Satan? He is not only alive on the planet Earth, but he has access
to heaven, into the presence of God. He not only runs around this planet,
but he reports to God in heaven. Now, this is not only taught in Job. I will
give you these references. I hope you will look them up. These verses
teach that Satan has access to heaven. Zechariah 3:1 and 2. Revelation
