Kung Fu / judo illustration: God redirects Satan's own force rather than controlling him directly

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 10) 00:15:38 – 00:17:08

Illustration drawn from the TV show Kung Fu to explain how God exercises sovereignty over Satan.

Mike uses a kung fu analogy: the master allows attackers to act but redirects their force against themselves. God permits Satan limited action, sometimes simply blocks him, and other times redirects Satan's own plans to serve divine purposes. Prime example: Satan entering Judas to betray Jesus (Luke 22:3) was used by God for the salvation of the world. God is like a chess master who sees every possible move.

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh). The clippings draw from lexicons, encyclopedias, commentaries, and academic journals to argue that "source/origin" is the primary metaphorical meaning of kephale rather than "authority/leader," with implications for interpreting 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and Colossians 1.
