Any human or spiritual being (angel) that
commits sin at any time is called “Satan”. Evidently, the first that committed
sin called “LUCIFER THE ARCHANGEL” had no sin in him from the day he was created
until inquiry (sin) was found in him; therefore from that moment he became
rebellious and full of pride he became Satan or Sinner. (See Ezekiel chapter 28; Satan represents the
king of Taurus). Therefore “Satan” is
the name of anyone who commits sin and does not apply to any specific human or
spiritual being. Any one can be called “Satan or Devil” at any time he commits
sin or rebellious.
One can
commit sin both unconsciously (unknowingly) and consciously (knowingly) can be
called a “Satan” or “Devil”.
At one time
Apostle Peter committed unconscious sin and Jesus called him a “SATAN”
on account of what Jesus was about to suffer in Jerusalem according to Matthew
chapter 16. It was an unconscious sin
because he never wishes his master to die in Jerusalem. Apostle Judas Iscariot
sinned consciously by betraying his
master of whom Jesus said, “I have chosen twelve of you but one of you is a
Devil?”.( John 6:68-70)
Therefore when you tempt someone to commit sin you are the tempter or Satan to that person like in the case of Apostle Peter and Jesus Christ and his encounter with the Satan during the forty days and forty nights in the wilderness. But when the deed is done or you have fallen into sin as result of the temptation, then that person that tempted you to fall into that sin is called the “Devil” like in the case of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot that betrayed him. Therefore the evil one is called “Devil and Satan “according to the book of Revelation chapter 12.
Therefore when the act of committing sin is
fully executed that person that executed the act becomes the devil. Judas Iscariot was a prime suspect as a devil
moving with his Apostle but only the Master Jesus knew him; his Apostles did not. Now at the time of execution, Jesus
gave him a bread to eat and in that moment the Satan or sin of great urge
entered into him and Jesus instructed him to hurry up to fulfill his assignment. His Apostle thought he was sending
him a message since Judas had the money bag as the treasurer but Jesus was
speaking to the evil urge in him to hurry up. Therefore it was Jesus that empowered
him to carry on the act through the loaf of bread he gave to him before the evil thought
entered into him that created the urge in him too high for him to control and Judas went
out immediately and fell by betraying his master; in that
case, he became the devil that betrayed
his Master after Satan the tempter (evil urge) had entered into him. (John 13:21-30). Jesus
knowingly did that because already he knows the Assignment of Judas Iscariot. Therefore during
his last prayer he said, “Of all the sheep that you gave to me I lost no one
except the SON OF PERDITION (Judas) who was to fulfill the scripture according
to John chapter 17. He offered this prayer before he was arrested
Therefore,
God do send an evil one to perform specific assignment which others of
righteous type could not perform. In 1
Kings chapter 22 God sent a lying spirit to deceive the King of Israel but
others refused; he sent Satan(tempter)
to tempt Job to deny him (Job chapter 1), in the New testament, He sent Judas
to betray him so that the scripture might be fulfilled; in the book of
Revelation God will send Satan to test the saints and to give the mark 666 and
the time assigned to him to fulfill those assignment is three and half years
written as forty-two months. At the
beginning of the 1000 years Satan was
bound in prison and shall be released to deceive the nations again before the
war of Gog and Magog.
Now the next
question is “Who is called " Devil and Satan” . The Devil and Satan is called
“Serpent or Dragon” . Therefore the evil
one is personified as Serpent or Dragon according to the book of Revelation
chapter 12. Based on the teachings of
Jesus Christ, our father is the Devil. He told the Jews that your father is the
Devil (John 8:44). Not only the Jews but to every human and spiritual being in
the Universe. In another scripture he called the children of Israel “brood of
vipers” meaning children of snake or dragon (viper is a very poisonous snake).
So our father is the serpent and dragon known as Satan the Devil from whom we
originated.
Therefore Serpent or dragon is worshiped as a god in several parts
of the universe. (Mat 12:34). That
was why Moses staff turned to snake performing signs and wonders that saved
the children of Israel from slavery and the bronze serpent that healed their wounds in the
wilderness and that was why the Son of God became the Serpent of Moses and the
bronze serpent that was hung on the pole now on the cross perfuming signs and
wonders in the New Testament in person of Jesus Christ whose name is full of
deception because the serpent is the Devil and Satan is the Deceiver of the whole
world. Therefore the very name "JESUS" will be used by others to deceive many as a serpent. Some serpents have seven rainbow colors
and that is why the throne of God is encircled by the very rain bow color of
the dragon or serpent (Revelation chapter 4).
Now the next
question is “WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF SATAN”?
The spiritual
meaning of Satan is “SIN”. Whosoever that commits sin is a son of the Devil or
Satan. David says in sin did my mother conceived me (Psalms 51). The scripture says for all have sinned and
come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). Therefore there is the need to born again in righteousness
both of water and of the holy spirit. Jesus was baptized again in order to fulfill
all righteousness (Mat chapter 4). Therefore we are buried in sin with Christ and
resurrected in new flesh to put aside our sinful nature and he that born in Christ is a new creature; old things
have passed away behold everything becomes new (2 cor. 5:17). By practicing righteousness through
the word of God which is the Ten Commandments, you are separated from the children
of the devil. The scripture says as many as those that believe in him he gave
them power to become the sons of God
because formally they were the sons of the devil doing the works of Satan the Devil who
deceived Adam and Eve in the likeness of the very serpent the devil.
Based on the
fact that God is both good and evil, he becomes the tree of the knowledge of
both good and evil that was planted in the Garden of Eden for us to choose the
good part . So God gave to Moses the serpent staff and as well as the ten commandments
of which the greatest among them is love and that is the righteousness of God
for us to follow before we shall be called
the real children of God born again out of our sinful nature (John 1:12-14). We have to choose righteousness by flowing the
ten commandments which Jesus came to re-enforce and to fulfill and by following
his teaching from the ten commandment we shall be born again not of flesh and
blood but of the will of God. So he is
the light for us to follow including those that teaches righteousness in other
world religion. You should not think of yourself alone but there are several
out there in the world that are not even Christians or Muslims but God knows
them. Prophet Elijah thought he was the
only righteous man in Israel that have
not bow to Ball but God told him there are even seven thousands of righteous people
like him. Both Christians and Muslims think like Elijah. (1 Kings chapter 19).
Apostle Peter thought like Elijah who thought
the Jews were the only people that God loves and are righteous but God
sent him to Colinous a none Jews whom he
prayed for and he received the baptism
of the holy Spirit (Acts chapter 10)
Satan
the Devil is fighting us so that we shall continue to remain in sin with him
but we are fighting very hard to become independent and freedom from sin as a
holy nation following the part of righteousness and no more of the devil. That is main reason we must be born again
through the word of God which is the ten commandment of which the greatest
among them is LOVE.
Since God did
not create Satan, you are the Satan yourself. Whenever you commit evil you
become the devil and whenever you do good to anyone you are the son of God.
That is why the bible called us Sons of God when we keep
the holy laws (Ps 82:6).
The heart of
man is deceitful above all things in which the devil speaks (evil huge) to huge
you to commit any sin (Jer. 17:9). Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks and from the heart comes out all forms of evil that defile the flesh.
Therefore Jesus says, not what you takes in as food but what comes out of the
heart; from the heart of man proceed evil thoughts (MK 7:1-23)
Therefore he
says, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” (Mat. 5:8). The Holy Spirit speaks in your heart too just
as the evil urge speaks in your heart. The evil thoughts urge you silently but
with force telling you “DO IT” “DO IT” “DO IT”…….but the Holy Spirit always
speak with a still small voice as he did to Prophet Elijah(1kings chapter 19),
saying “please don’t” “please don’t” “please don’t”
These
two voices are agitating right in your heart whenever you are about to commit anything
evil. In the same manner Jesus instructed
his Apostles that the Holy Spirit will speak in their heart what they will say
whenever they take them to court for trial( Mat 10:18-20).
If you break
the law and they take you to court of law, you would not invite Satan to
come and testify to the court that he was responsible for your
action. Likewise it will be on the Day
of Judgment – you cannot find Satan for you to accuse him; you will bear the consequences
yourself and not Satan because you are
the very Satan yourself.
Any rebellious
captain born in the flesh is known as Satan the Devil. So we shall see who is to play that rule just as Judas did in the
end-time times.
Although
there are several spirit beings all claiming to be Lucifer the fallen Archangel and
Satan the Devil in several parts of the universe among the demons just as we have several human beings claiming
to be Archangel Michael, Jesus Christ, etc.
But we shall see who among them is the real Satan the Devil and the Archangel
Michael in the War of Armageddon.
