If you see Satan as a fallen angel, then you will always put God in a bad light.
Gal 5:9 A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church].
You must interpret things right
1Jo 3:8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
From the beginning –satan’s beginning and not yours
Col 1:16 For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
Col 1:17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
All things were created through Christ
Gen 3:1 NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [Rev. 12:9-11.]
the Lord God had made- read please
Heb 1:3 He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,
Heb 1:4 [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has inherited is different from and more excellent than theirs.
Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels did [God] ever say, You are My Son, today I have begotten You [established You in an official Sonship relation, with kingly dignity]? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son? [II Sam. 7:14; Ps.
Heb 1:6 Moreover, when He brings the firstborn Son again into the habitable world, He says, Let all the angels of God worship Him.
Heb 1:7 Referring to the angels He says, [God] Who makes His angels winds and His ministering servants flames of fire;
No angel is a son
Gen 6:1 WHEN MEN began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose.
Sons of God can not be angels. Verse 1 says when men began.
God’s firstborn SON is Christ.
Adam was also called a son and his sons were also called Gods’ sons because they worshiped Him as God.
If you say they where angels then there is nothing significant about Jesus’ birth through Holy Spirit.
[amplified]
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons (the angels) of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and accuser) also came among them. [Rev. 12:10.]
[King James]
Job 1:6 Now there was1961 a day3117 when the sons1121 of God430 came935 to present themselves3320 before5921 the LORD,3068 and Satan7854 came935 also1571 among8432 them.
A very big mistake made by bible interpreters putting their opinion in brackets. Not all the translations are at fault, but sometimes the opinions in brackets are wrong.
These “sons” are Adams’ sons which were known as Gods’ sons.
Job 1:7 And the Lord said to Satan, From where did you come? Then Satan answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it.
Job 1:12 And the Lord said to Satan (the adversary and the accuser), Behold, all that he has is in your power, only upon the man himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
God met with the sons of Adam on earth and satan came among them. Satan going to and fro on the earth. Satan did not appear in heaven.
Presence of the Lord- not heaven
Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the devastator to destroy.
Isa 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.
Die Heer het hom gemaak sodat die mens van die begin al oor hom moes heers
1Jn 3:8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
The word “Beginning” means “Beginning”.
2Co 11:14 And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;
Many are deceived here – satan only masqueraded himself as an angel
King of Babylon – not satan
Isa 14:12 How have you fallen from heaven, O light-bringer and daystar, son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the nations [O blasphemous, satanic king of Babylon!]
Satan is not a king, nor a bringer of light or a daystar.
Stars are always ‘people’ and not angels in Biblical terms.
Isa 14:13 And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars (Refers to Gods’ men on earth) of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north.
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. The satanic king who is against Gods people thinks he will rule over the people of God.
Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Isa 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the Sceptre of the rulers.
.
Isa 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Lucifer is not Satan, but king of Babylon
The reference in the next verse is also confused with satan.
Eze 28:1 THE WORD of the Lord came again to me, saying,
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart is lifted up and you have said and thought, I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas; yet you are only man [weak, feeble, made of earth] and not God, though you imagine yourself to be almost more than mortal with your mind as the mind of God;
You cannot miss this - man
Eze 28:3 Indeed, you are [imagining yourself] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret [you think] that is hidden from you;
Proving that this person thinks he is wiser than Daniel – sons of God or stars – and not satan thinking he is an angel and higher than God.
Verse 8 says – “you will die”.
Verse 9 says – “You are a man”.
The verses that follow are full of imagery like ‘the garden of Eden’ and a ‘cherub’, ‘a god’.
If you are still thinking that he was an angel, what about all the kings before this chapter and after this chapter that God prophesied against.
FACTS ABOUT SATAN
Mat 12:26 And if Satan drives out Satan, he has become divided against himself and disunified; how then will his kingdom last or continue to stand?
Satan is not divided against himself, because then you said that Christ can also be a demon working against his own kingdom that is from Satan
Luk 10:17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!
Luk 10:18 And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.
Does not say he is an angel, Christ said that he saw satans’ authority was taken. This “falling” happened at the birth of Christ when the rule of satan over man was the beginning of the end. At that moment when they spoke the name of Jesus, satan obey them.
Rev 12:4 His tail swept [across the sky] and dragged down a third of the stars and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth. [Dan. 8:10.]
The woman is Mary and the child is Jesus.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a male Child, One Who is destined to shepherd (rule) all the nations with an iron staff (scepter), and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne. [Ps. 2:8, 9; 110:1, 2.]
Caught up – after Christ’s birth God protected him by sending them to Egypt.
Rev 12:6 And the woman [herself] fled into the desert (wilderness), where she has a retreat prepared [for her] by God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days (42 months; three and one-half years).
Jesus and his parents stayed in Egypt for three and a half years until King Herod died.
Rev 12:7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.
Heaven is the heavenly sphere
Rev 12:8 But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer.
There rule was taken in this sphere
Rev 12:9 And the huge dragon was cast down and out--that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him. [Gen. 3:1, 14, 15; Zech. 3:1.]
Jesus was born as King and in that moment war broke out in heaven. Satan and all his followers were stripped from their authority to accuse man. At the cross the entire authority of Satan was taken away.
Rev 12:10 Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come--the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out! [Job 1:9-11.]
Rev 12:11 And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their
Overcome by means of the blood of the Lamb
It is in the cross and by the blood that man can overcome him.
The Holy Spirit came 2000 years ago and that gave us authority over the power of the enemy.
Luk 10:19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
The “Coming” does not only refer to Jesus’ birth or His second coming, but the coming of the Kingdom that happened on the cross.
Joh 16:8 And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God) and about judgment:
Joh 16:9 About sin, because they do not believe in Me [trust in, rely on, and adhere to Me];
Joh 16:10 About righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God), because I go to My Father, and you will see Me no longer;
Joh 16:11 About judgment, because the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world [Satan] is judged and condemned and sentence already is passed upon him.
Col 2:15 [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
WHERE? ON THE CROSS WHEN THE KINGDOM CAME.
