The Big Fall


Now back to our look at the person and work of Satan .

First ,as was mentioned,he is not equal with God.God is the creator . So Satan was a angel created by God to worship and serve the Lord.

In fact he is described at one time being full of wisdom and beauty. He enjoyed communion with God and was blameless. Even though he walked with God in Eden and was adored in splendor  (Ezek.28:12-15) , he desired more . Unrighteousness was found in him. Allowing pride and arrogance to take sway in his being , he wanted to be like God . Wanting to over throw God and reign , he rebelled (Isaiah 14:12-15) but God casted him out of heaven and banished him for his sin.

In his rebellion many theologians have said he took a third of the Angels with him . They are now demons . So Satan is a fallen angel . His pride led to his fall . A mighty angel , a beautiful one at that . That was Satan .

Next we will begin to look at what some of his activities are and what the Bible tells us about his war with God.

Thank you for taking Satan out of the mythos of the entertainment industry and putting him back into the reality of who he really is. Because he's capable of appearing as an angel of light, it is easy to be deceived by him. The more informed we are the more prepared we are. Keep the information coming. Love you, Mrs Reg
