Of course Satan in not in control! But he is ruling this earth through the unbelievers! Just look around and see where the believer stands in this world. We are being silenced and looked down on by the world, and it's only going to get worse for us!
If you think for one second that Satan is not ruling this earth at present, you are sadly mistaken.

Wrong.
What we are seeing is God's gradual releasing of satan to full fill God's plan..whatever He want's satan to contribute to events. Satan is restrained by our Comforter...The Holy Spirit...who will be removed from this earth during the trib. period allowing satan increased authority on the earth per God's stated plan. Even then he is restrained by not being allowed to hinder the safety of 144000 jews.
In the middle of the week.....i believe the Bible states. Then Christ returns...2nd advent...and removes satan......totally restraining him for Christs' 1000 year reign on this earth.

I see Satan in charge of this earth in the present, this is given to him by God for God's plan, Satan has taken nothing that God hasn't allowed him to have.
But Satan is certainly in charge until he has accomplished what God allows him to accomplish, which is preparing His Christ for the throne of David!

When there isn't a clear reason to interpret something literally then a symbolic or spiritual interpretation is better suited. That is not bad hermeneutics as the Bible is packed with spiritual concepts.
For example, you have the lake of fire literally on earth where goats are sent to their second death. Do you agree the second death is literal? As in, there is no such thing as eternal conscious torment for those who have been literally put to death a second time after being resurrected?

It's vivid in your mind because you're projecting. You're seeing something you want to exist and when you see something that seems to confirm it you believe it.
For example, you believe in the pre-trib rapture and want that to be true. You're viewing the Bible through a kind of lens rather than just letting the Bible speak for itself. That can be difficult to overcome after decades of conditioning so I understand. None of us are perfect, but do try to resist the temptation to reject the overwhelming evidence against your false pre-trib doctrine.
It's better to be wrong and correct it than to know you're wrong and keep a false narrative going just to score fake internet points with your pre-trib buddies. You have your reward from your constituents for straying true to what you believe, but your reward won't be praise from God for being a champion of truth.

Satan has always been limited as to what he can do! In fact, we learn in the book of Job that he has to get permission from God to do anything, especially what he can do to a believer!
But look around to what is happening in this world and tell me who reigning on this earth, Christ or Satan?
Of course God's will is taking place, Jesus told us in Matt. 24, don't worry about these things taking place, for these things must come to pass. Jesus is telling us that Satan running wild on earth through evil men is the will of God to bring about the timing of God's plan for the world.
So you see, God is in complete control, but Satan is running wild doing what he does to prepare the world for the end when God wrap up His plan for man on this earth.
