Satan's Influence like Corona-Viruses

The Gospels are reports on the battle between Christ Jesus and Satan, since the battle against Satan and its demons is the most important thing for the mankind. 

As Satan was against the God, when it found that the God was going to send His Son to the human world, Satan immediately decided to destroy the God's plan.  So, a Gospel told that a Jewish king tried to kill the baby Jesus, probably, as the king was influenced by Satan.

Satan waited for Jesus to grow.  But it must have made various tricks to impede sound growth of Jesus, which are not written in the Gospels.  And, in the process of Satan's interference on Jesus's life, the biological father Joseph must have been lost, probably, in fierce battles, which are not also written in the Gospels.

And finally, when Christ Jesus decided to save the world, get prepared for the mission, and go to the wilderness of the desert for purifying Himself, Satan came to destroy Christ Jesus with temptations:

Matthew 4
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

First of all, Satan and the devils were liars, which Christ Jesus knew well, so that He must have been laughing at them in His mind.  Christ Jesus knew that the God was the creator of the universe and the world.  The God could give all the kingdoms of the world to Christ Jesus at any time.  But, for some profound or sacred reasons, the God had not set Christ Jesus as the emperor of the kingdoms of the world.

But, Christ Jesus had to learn a man's desire to be a king.  As Christ Jesus knew that the God would set Him as a king any time soon only if He asked so, He must have not known or understood such a desire.  Christ Jesus was a hidden king.  Therefore, it is indeed laughable that the devil offered the status of king to Christ Jesus who was a potential king.  But, with the devil's world, Christ Jesus must have learned that a man would fall down and worship even Satan if he could be a king. 

Through this communication with the devil, Christ Jesus must have learnt man's desires and how Satan used these desires to make men its slaves.

On Satan's side, it must have not expected that Christ Jesus would accept his foolish temptations and stupid offer.  But Satan must have thought that it could hurt Christ Jesus' pride as such an act of temptation by the devil meant that the devil saw human desires in Christ Jesus or Christ Jesus having human desires.  If Christ Jesus had been psychologically hurt as He had looked like an ordinary mean man to the devil, Satan should have been glad.

In other words, Satan must have known from the beginning that it would fail to tempt Christ Jesus, but it must have thought that it could hurt Christ Jesus's pride by offering such foolish proposals.  Satan must have wanted to tell Christ Jesus that now that He was a mere man, he should want to be a king.  And, Satan must have wanted to see what the God would do if Christ Jesus asked the status of a king from the God.  Would the God recall Christ Jesus from the world?

However, Christ Jesus decided to live as a mere man, which must have alarmed Satan.  The God had allowed men to have a desire to be a king.  But, the God seemed to expect His Son to live as a mere man.  It was against the paradigm of Satan who expected to fight Christ Jesus as a king.  Satan wanted at least to behave like a god who had authority to set a man as a king.  But its poor show was simply broken by Christ Jesus.  Satan was not only making fun of Christ Jesus but also of the God.  Therefore, Christ Jesus got angry, and the devil disappeared.          　

In this way, the Gospels tell how Satan tried to make fun of the God through attacking His Son Christ Jesus.  But, Satan's battle against the God is still going on after 2000 years since the first mission of Christ Jesus.

Satan's devils are everywhere even today.  They must be more widespread than corona-viruses.  It is as if the God had sent the Angel of Death with corona-viruses to the human world to have the mankind realize how widespread Satan's influence is.

Mark 3, King James Version
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
