Man gave his obedience to Satan in the Garden.

Here are six verses from the Bible that refer to Satan as the ruler of the world or nations:

1. John 12:31: "Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world [Satan] be cast out."

2. 2 Corinthians 4:4: "In their case the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

3. Ephesians 2:2: "in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air [Satan], the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience."

4. 1 John 5:19: "We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one [Satan]."

5. Revelation 12:9: "And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."

6. Luke 4:5-6: "And the devil took him [Jesus] up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, 'To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.'"

These verses emphasize the biblical belief that Satan has a temporary dominion over the world or certain nations, but it is ultimately subject to God's sovereignty and will be overcome through His power at a predetermined time in the (very) near future..
