Who is Satan?

  Who is Satan?  The Christian view is much different than the Jewish view.  First let us look at the Jewish view followed by the Muslim and Christian view.  

 Judaism 
  Satan is described as a subordinate angel of God and not a rival of God.  Satan is said that he never created evil or never disobeyed a command from God. Satan is described as an obedient servant of God and that he serves the role of man's accuser in God's court.  Jews use two verses to back up their views.  They are Isaiah 45:7 and Numbers 22:22. 

  The Jews say God created temptation to do evil partially to test our loyalty and partially to improve us.  They point out that Job answered his wife by saying, "shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?"

   Salvation according to the Jews comes by focusing on Godliness and self-improvement according to Genesis 4:7. 

Isaiah 45:7
  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I Yahuah do all these things.
  You can take this verse in different mindsets.  You can see it like the Jews, or you could see it differently.  
  In Genesis chapter one, verses one through three, is the first day of creation.  In verse one Elohiym created the Heaven and the Earth.  No description was given on the completeness of it.  In verse two, the Bible translations have it wrong by saying, "and the earth was without form,".  The Hebrew word for was, is also translated Let there be," in verse three.  Elohiym destroyed the first Earth, not the first heaven.  
  As for Yahuah creating evil, first we must have this word in context.  Yahuah created peace.  In other words, tranquillity.  Evil is then seen as distress, misery, injury and or calamity.  Being out of the will of God there is no peace.  God created calamity to judge the wicked. 

Numbers 22:22.
  And Elohiym's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of Yahuah stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
  What is ment by adversary?   The Hebrew word is Satan.  We must not over imply meaning to this.  In this context the angel of Yahuah is Balaam's opponent.  This is a contest, conflict, and dispute because Balaam was not in the will of God.  If Yahuah never challenged Evil, Satan would be top of Elohiym.   Yahusha called James, brother of John as James the Great.  It wasn't because James was a great man, it was because he was tall, because there was a short guy named James also.  The word Satan in Hebrew is like saying opponent in English. 

Genesis 4:7. 
  If you do well, shall you not be accepted?  And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door.  And unto you shall be his desire, and you shalt rule over him.

  Yahuah was speaking to Cain.  He had murdered his brother and Yahuah was speaking only to him.  We cannot take a conversation between Yahuah and Cain and make it the way of salvation leaving out the prophecy that is within Yahuah's Feast Days.  Doing good after the crime doesn't take back the crime. 

Islam
  Satan is a title meaning rebel and arrogant.  Satan's name is Iblis.  There are many Satan's and only one Iblis.  He is said to be thrown out of heaven, after he refused to prostrate himself before Adam.  He is said to have had five sons.  Satan cannot change God's plan.  Satan is the source of Evil.  Knowledge, meaning technology plays into Satan's hand because Satan clouds the truth.  Mankind muddles through life, not fully Understanding truth.  Satan is the enemy of mankind.  Satan cannot, will not worship God.  People can worship God. Satan's strength is determined by the person's weakness.  Satan's strategies revolve around seducing, tricking, and misleading people.  Adam and Eve was deceived and tricked by attractive bait, destroying themselves on Satan's fake promises.  

Christian
  The Christian view on Satan is not uniform in definition.  Some Christians see Satan as a way of describing evil principles at work and not real.  Some do see Satan as being real and has corrupted the human DNA.  Satan as being the accuser and adversary of people.  This is why Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ made a way for us to be born again, by His shed blood.  What is interesting is that about half of the Christians don't believe in the Holy Spirit also.  This reminds me of the Ten Virgins.  Five wise and five being stupid.  The Oil in this parable represents the Holy Spirit. If you don't have it, you are not known by God.  Christian teaching that Satan is not real and the Holy Spirit is not real, undermines God Himself in our thoughts.  It sets up a fake idea, baiting you could say into thinking man's religious traditions are God's. Intelligent people not knowing God then turn away from religion and God because of the lack of evidence of God in it.  

What the Bible Says
  “How you are fallen from heaven,
Heylel BenSahar, (son of the morning!)
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!" Isaiah 14:12
  "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the Holy Mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones." Ezekiel 28:14
  "For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation.  On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High".  Isaiah 14:13-14

  "Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." 1 Corinthians 7:5

  The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 1 John 3:8

  Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?  Acts 5:3

  "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." John 8:44

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

  Satan was created as a Cherub.  The function of a Cherub, one the higher orders of angels,  was to be a celestial attendant of God.  Cherubs was to continually praise Elohiym.  Satan's name is Heylel BenSahar.  His name's meaning is, bringer of the dawn, son of the howling morning.  That is to say, Satan is not the Morning Star.  Satan is the son of the morning.  An attendant of Elohiym during creation.  

  As a Cherub, he corrupted his wisdom.  His desire was to was to be above the God who Melchizedek served.  This would be saying that Satan wanted to be above the God of Abraham.  By being above the stars of God, it's saying Satan wanted to be above the Messiah.  This is seen in the New Testament when Satan tempted Yahusha Hamashia.  Notice Satan could not just strongarm his way above Yahusha, he had to get Yahusha to step down by choice.  In other words, a trade that benefits Satan while Yahusha giving up His Deity in a Scam. 

  The Christians recognize Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ as Messiah.  The Jews do not.  Muslims see Yahusha as a Prophet.  However when the Jews do recognize a man or ET from another dimension as Messiah, you know Satan will be there scamming him to be under his control.  In comes the Abomination of Desalination spoken by Daniel the Prophet.  Satan will have invested his power into the False Messiah and the False Prophet.  I believe when they are thrown into the Lake of Fire, Satan's investment of power will be lost for eternity that he had placed into them. 

  Satan is a creation of the same elements that the early Heaven and Universe was created from.  These elements is not what God is. In other words, elements of Heaven and Earth wanted to be controller over Heaven and Earth.  That's like saying rusted iron is worth more than Damascus steel.   ʿElyôn  is the word used in Isaiah.  Satan wanted to resemble the adjective and masculine noun ʿElyôn.  From ʿElyôn comes the Holy Spirit and the only facet of a living multidimensional Deity ʿElyôn called Yahuah of Hosts who became flesh, also known as Yahusha Hamashia, son of the Virgin Mary. 

  There was war in Heaven.  Satan did manage to scam one third of all the Angels away from Yahuah Elohiym.  

  And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.  Revelation 12:9

  The question is, why does Satan hate the Children of Adam so much?  Why did Yahuah of Hosts become a child of Adam through a virgin?  

  Satan comes to take away your self control.  Satan has been sinning from Genesis 1:1 in Earth's timeline.  Satan saturates human consciousness, giving us a wicked spiritual hunger for unrighteousness.  He saturated Judas Iscariot into betraying Yahusha Hamashia.  Yahusha said He must go where they could not go.  Judas lost faith and took the silver.  He saturated the Jews into handing over a priest in the order of Melchizedek to be killed by the Romans who the Jews hated.  That would be like Abraham killing Melchizedek.  Satan is a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.

  Satan hates the fellowship we have with God.  Satan is jealous of the benefits we receive from God.  Satan is jealous of the worship God receives and not himself being worshipped. It was Satan's plan to murder Eve all along.  Then by Eve's dead soul, Adam surrendered to death also.  This is why we must be born again through Yahusha Hamashia, son of the Virgin Mary.  We come to Yahuah as a child of Adam through Yahusha.  A child of Satan cannot see God.


 Writer's Opinion 

  Satan was created as a Cherub.  Yahuah has more than one Cherub.  What is interesting is that in both descriptions  below, there is no reptilian mentioned. 

  Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Ezekiel 10:14

  The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.  Revelation 4:7

  Satan is a Reptilian, a Dragon that masquerades as an Angel of Light.  It is like the Reptilian Cherub is missing in the Old Testament and New Testament descriptions.  It's also interesting that God destroyed the Reptilian world on Earth with a large asteroid about ten kilometers in diameter.  This location is the Chicxulub crater, Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

  Science and the Biblical record of time is two different things.  However the record of events are the same.  

  A Continuum is a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other.  This is where the space time continuum comes into question.  The Biblical record says Earth became without form.  We could say that the elements of space and time became formless or chaotic.  Only Yahuah Elohiym could form the continuum and take it apart as it says in Genesis 1:2.  Hayah is translated was when it was translated Let there be in verse 3.  If they don't want to translate verse two like this:

  Earth, Let there be formlessness and emptyness; darkness upon the face of the deep.....

 Then translate it as became...... 

  Heaven wasn't effected by the decree of Darkness and Chaos.  The Deep can be translated Abyss also.  When Yahuah Elohiym said Let there be Light, this light did not enter the vapors of the abyss below the Earth.  Heaven is not connected with Earth.  There is vapors above and below the Earth..  What we see as a universe is Earth.  Satan scammed the universe away from Adam and Eve.  I believe Earth is the rock that the Way appears between Heaven and Earth. His name is Yahusha Hamashia. 

  What is interesting is the sphinx.  It has a lion's body.  The head could have been reworked into another image.  Was it a graven image of a Cherub?  If so, why the lion?  There was more than one sphinx on Earth.  In Balochistan, Pakistan, I believe there was one.  The world wide flood and wind erosion destroyed the surface of it.  Then there is the Sphinx of Sodom and Gomorrah south of the Dead Sea.  Yahuah Elohiym destroyed the remainder of it with the two cities.  There was a second sphinx in Egypt also.  It was mentioned by Ancient Egyptians, then again by the Greeks and Romans.  It was then destroyed by the Muslims between the years 1000 and 1200.  The Bible says not to make images for worship in the Ten Commandments.  This says that the creation of stone Sphinx or Cherub like images is then Satanic in nature.  

  Another thought about the Sphinx being a Cherub and that Cherubs having four faces is that what if Earth has four different dimensions of livable Space and Time?  When God destroyed the Earth with a flood, what if the other three dimensions the Earth is Dead.  The Sphinx would be the indicator of what dimension you were in.  What if there is a place in Heaven that is a dimension of Earth and that it was that Earth is where Adam and Eve walked with God? There is a number of possibilities that may or may not have happened. We know that the reptilian Earth of our past is gone forever.  

Satan in the Future

  In the book of Revelation the Apostle John wrote down the prophecy of the Great White Throne Judgement.  

  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:1-3

  The bottomless pit is the Abyss that was created day one of creation.  This information comes from.......  I believe the Abyss and what we call Hell is something of the same thing but different.  They are both below the Earth.  Satan is described as The Dragon, Old Serpent, The Devil and Satan.  

  Rev 12:3-4  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

  Revelation 12 brings it all together.  The nations of Earth are being formed into the Image of Satan.  The third part of stars pulled are fallen angels.  What happens to Satan happens to the Fallen Angels.  

2Co 11:3 - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent  beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
  
  Here we see that the Serpent in Genesis that tempted Eve was Satan. 

John 13:2 - And supper being ended, the devil  having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

  Like that of Judas, Antichrist will have the thoughts of Satan in his heart.  

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

  Satan is a deceiving, unrighteous, lying reptilian who seeks  to use his power to destroy mankind.  He will be locked up in the Abyss, a dimension under our Earth, not having the ability to negotiate or escape from the Abyss.  

  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.  Revelation 20:7-10

Mary Magdalene Chapter 9 and Commentary

1-2) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.  But Andrew answered and said...
