Clearly, when Christ was present on earth, Satan could do nothing against Him and His disciples.

When He left however, Christ told them that things were going to be different.

But said unto them, but now he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.(Lk.22:36)

So, Satan isn't bound today, he is he god of this world, who still deceives it.

“So, Satan isn’t bound today, he is he god of this world, who still deceives it.”

You know, maybe because Satan is created and not omniscient he does not recognize he is bound; kind of like a spiritual thing, like clouds.

2 Cor. 2:11, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

2 Cor. 11:14, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

Eph. 6:11, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

James 4:7, “....Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

1 Pet. 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

And, of course, my all time favorite:

Rev. 12:9,”And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (12) “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

And this problematic verse:

Rev. 20:2, “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,”

How many times can you bind him? Any way, if you need more let me know.
