Matthew 8:16, Matthew 8:28, Matthew 9:32, Matthew 10:8, Matthew 12:22, Matthew 13:37-39, Matthew 15:22, Matthew 17:18Key word "active."
Of course the devil started this whole sin mess the world is mired in with his direct, one on one, personal tempting of Adam and Eve. No one is denying that.
But the devil is not going to leave some world leader on the other side of the planet just to personally tempt your next door neighbor to steal some tool from his employer.
Nor will any of the devil's demons as Acts 19:13-15 shows: "Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, 'We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.' Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
Notice those last 4 words: "but who are you?" The demon did not even know who these Jewish exorcists were.
I guess all of these people were world leaders because the devil/s gave them special attention, and this is only the book of Matthew.
Your casual dismissal of scripture and the devil puts you in serious danger from him because you will not recognize his attacks upon you for what they are
If you would bother to study deeper you woud understand that those "vagabond Jews" were conjurers as that's the meaning of the word translated as "exorcists". These men were not empowered by God thus the retort they were met with that the devil knew who Jesus and Paul were but he wasn't impressed at all with them. They had no authority over him because they were not servants of God.
