The prince of this world cometh. The worldly powers of which Satan is prince.

John 16:11

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. In Joh 14:30, he declared, "The prince of this world cometh". It was the prince of this world, the spirit of the world, Satan, as the ruler of the world, who slew him. When Christ rose from the dead, and all power was given into his hands, this was a judgment in the court of the universe against the prince of the world.
