Satan is described as a roaring lion prowling around seeking whoever he can destroy. So he is busy here on earth. Unlike God, he can only be in one place at a time; however, his demonic legions are everywhere, in the air and on earth.
This is why we need protection and God offers it to us freely. He will keep us safe. We are also told in Ephesians 6 to put on the whole armour of God from the helmet of salvation, to the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. This is to keep us safe from the devil's wiles.
Satan has been allowed to plague us. He even took Jesus to a high mountain and suggested that He throw Himself over to test God. He then offered to hand over his powers if Jesus would fall down and worship him. Not likely.
So Satan is currently active here on earth. Every nasty bit of behaviour has been inspired by him.
He is working hard because he knows he will end in hell. He's making all the trouble he can. Watch and pray. Don't come under his influence. Cling to God and do right in God's sight.
