The Satan of the Bible

By

Elder Anthony Berry

God created everything in existence; the sun, the moon, the stars.  God created other celestial beings that inhabited heaven and where made to serve him.  He gave these beings free will because he wanted the creations to serve him by choice.  He created 6 winged Angels, and he created Angels with 4 wings.  He assigned duties to them.  He also created Arch Angels.  One such Arch Angel was named Lucifer.  Lucifer was the most beautiful Angel with the best singing voice. All of the Angels loved him; one day, as my friend says he started believing his own press, and wanted to be God (Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28:13-15).  Since he failed to usurp God, and was cast down he was in the garden when God created man and gave the commandment concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  He was also present when God gathered all of his creations together to see what Adam would name them.  I would like to point out at this time that the serpent was present to be called a serpent; and was also present when God gave the commandment concerning the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil to Adam, Eve had not been created at that time.

Genesis 2:15

15. And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  16. And the Lore God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest eat freely: 17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest of if thout surely die.

For all of you people that like to allow the adversary to use you by boasting “I don’t need no (wo)man:

18.and the Lord God saith, it is not good that the man should be alone’ I will make him an help meet for him. 19. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air; and brought them before Adam to see what he would call them.

Notice still no woman yet.  The woman was not created until the 21st and 22nd verses of the second chapter of Genesis, which allows Satan to prey upon her through the Serpent. This is how the adversary steals paradise from man in the third chapter. 

Satan and his principality are invisible; they can’t be seen and this makes it easier for them to whisper in our ears with carte blanche.  We can’t see them so we think that their whisperings are our thoughts.  This is the same adversary that the crazy Satan worshipers worship. What I don’t understand is; how can they worship a being that laughs at them, accuses them to God, prosecutes them and then mocks God because it is because of him (Satan) that they mock God.  Satan knows that we are all a bunch of dumb sheep, dumb meaning innocent, and he exploits our innocence every chance he gets.  The ungodly will never wake up, and this is how they will wind up falling into the great tribulation.
