Many may wish to peruse http://www.christian...flee-from-what/ or http://www.christian...bb%ce%bf%cf%82/ regarding the correct interpretation of Devil
I will present the study of Satan in like manner as the Devil study as it is good to systematically investigate the context of each passage for truth. We shall also investigate the word Devil as revealed to us in the Book of Revelation: since, in the Book of Genesis the person of Satan is not found any more than is the idea of a Devil.
Facts:
Satan is found in the AV 55 times, 19 in the OT, 36 in the NT. The word itself is a Hebrew word, so its real meaning is better enforced by considering the Hebrew text first.
Interesting Fact:
In the OT it occurs in 14 passages very distinctly translated either adversary or adversaries: And in one occasion in Zech. 3:1KJV as resist, and one other to withstand in Num 20:32. 19 times it is NOT translated (for sathan or satan is the Hebrew word untranslated).
Another Interesting Fact:
Of the 19 which are the untranslated word satan 14 found in the book of Job, it can be seen that these passages in which the word is translated and in its true meaning are 9 more than those that present in its untranslated form, being Satan.
.
Let’s proceed by considering some passages and find its true meaning in the Bible.
