WHO IS SATAN?

[ewang97]

Hey everyone!

If someone was to ask you this question, "Who is Satan?" then how would you explain it?

I understand for many of us, we only focus on God, but who really is Satan and do we need to care about his existence?

The adversary that turns up down and down up......the accuser of the brethren......Lucifer, the once light bearer occupying the highest position besides God now destined to oblivion......the deceiver whose objective is to take with him all he can.......he who masquerades as an angel of light......the God of this world.

The Bible does speak about fallen angels, but it's important more than ever to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2), Who said: 'The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me' (John 14.30).

Aye! Choose the good, and you needn't worry about the evil.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ezekiel 28 helps define who Satan is, but it is given in parable form.

Satan is a heavenly cherub. Originally it was his job to guard God's Throne. That's what the idea of a 'covering cherub' in Ezekiel 28 means. If you saw the Raiders of The Lost Ark movie, the model of the Ark of The Covenant is shown with two winged creatures outstretch over the top of the cover. Per Exodus 25, the Mercy Seat was in between.

Ezekiel 28 reveals that Satan was originally created 'perfect in his ways', until iniquity was found in him. Satan originally was perfect in following God, then he sinned in coveting God's throne and thus became evil. Apostle John said the devil sinned from the beginning, and he meant that literally. Satan committed the very first sin against God in coveting God's throne and wanting to be God.

Ezekiel 31 is also pointing to Satan in the time of old before he rebelled, and then after he rebelled, and it is given as a parable about Pharaoh and the king of Assyria.
