In the Book of Mark Chapter 16 

The question is addressed to Jesus regarding the “Lawless Age”

THE FREER LOGION:

They offored this excuse: “This lawless and faithless age is under Satan, who does not allow what is unclean and dominated by spirits to grasp the true power of God.   Therefore, they said to Christ, “reveal your just authority now.”  Christ replied: “The measure of  the years of Satan’s power has been fulfilled, but other terrible things are imminent. Yet it was for the sake of sinners that I was handed over to death, that they might return to the truth and sin no more, and inherit the spiritual and immortal glory of justification in heaven.”
