Will the world repeats itself. Another Satan!!!?

Question

I am Orthodox Christian ( I hope)
I know that is not my place to ask this but I wanted to get your thoughts here. The Archangel Lucifer became Satan out of his pride and this luminous being became full of darkness. What would prevent this from happening as Lucifer had the will to choose to be proud and defied God and lost his high rank and attracted 1/3 of the angels behind him. He knew God more than any of us and stood in front of his throne. He knew his love, mercy and ultimate power and knew his commandments and he was in one of the highest ranks ever among the heavenly. Still he wanted to put his throne above His creator??? Can this happen again after the Devil and his followers are thrown into the lake of fire and brimestone?? ( please no trivial answers here ) Thank You.

Answer 1

Jesus was Jewish - have you ever read about what Judaism thinks of "Satan"?

From http://www.shamash.org/lists/scj-faq/HTML/faq/12-35.html


The word satan means "challenger", "difficulty", or "distraction" (note that it is not a proper name). With the leading ha- to make haSatan, it refers to /the/ challenger. This describes Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. HaSatan works for G-d. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it can be a meaningful choice. In other words, haSatan is an angel whose mission it is to add difficulty, challenges, and growth experiences to life. Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered overly polytheistic—you are setting up the devil to be a god or demigod.

The notion of an angel having free will is alien to Judaism. Free will requires the tension created by being a soul dwelling in a body. People can have free will, angels can't. There is a debate over whether they lack the potential for free will, or whether they simply percieve reality to clearly to have any choices to make. But in any case, without the fence-straddling of the human condition, there is no free will. HaSatan acts as a servant of God, not as an opponent or even disobediant child. Angels cannot sin, they cannot fall. >

Answer 2

I doubt it, as only Christians will go to the "new Jeruseleum" when this World will perish.

I cant say for sure, because I wont say whats in the hearts of those who are "saved", nor would I ever even "think" that I could answer for everyone, but, the LORD will do the weeding, and toss the "chaff" away into the fire and HE will know the hearts of man, who come with HIM...

I wish you well..

Answer 3

Did you know that 1/3 of the world's current population claim to be Christian?

Isn't that an interesting coincidence since 1/3 of the "hosts of heaven" followed Lucifer/Satan to the earth?

Jesus is Satan, so sayeth the book of mythology.

You don't need to worry about it, you already gave him your soul and worship him.

Answer 4

"It has been believed heretofore in the world that there is one devil that presides over the hells; that he was created an angel of light; but having become rebellious he was cast down with his crew into hell. This belief has prevailed because the devil and satan, and also lucifer, are mentioned by name in the Word, and the Word in those places has been understood according to the sense of the letter. But by "devil" and "satan" there hell is meant, "devil" meaning the hell that is behind, where the worst dwell, who are called evil genii; and "satan" the hell that is in front, where the less wicked dwell, who are called evil spirits; and "lucifer" those that belong to Babel, or Babylon, who would extend their dominion even into heaven. That there is no one devil to whom the hells are subject is evident also from this, that all who are in the hells, like all who are in the heavens, are from the human race (see n. 311-317); and that those who have gone there from the beginning of creation to this time amount to myriads of myriads, and every one of them is a devil in accord with his opposition to the Divine while he lived in the world" (Heaven and Hell n. 544).

Answer 5

I think this and stories like this are all merely stories based on myth and folklore. did this really happen? i doubt it. no more than zeus basically throwing up and, from that, his children (i.e. other gods) were born. more than likely it is a back story conceived and given to us in order to represent and comprehend balance within the universe.

one cannot exist without the other. good cannot exist without evil. light cannot exist without darkness, action and reaction, etc. there always must be two opposing factions in order to create a needed balance which is constant throughout the universe. without it, both will colapse and cannot exist.

that is the true answer to your question.

Answer 6

Read Malachi 4 and you will see that Satan will be burned up with his followers and sin will not rise a second time. They will be ashes under our feet.

Answer 7

No.The bible makes clear satan and his crew will be cast in the lake of fire(for eternity).He knows everyones heart.Those who turn to Him freely will live with Him for eternity.

Answer 8

The answer is no since there will never be another like satan. Anything beyond that, what can I say, is speculation.
Mr. M on another satan.
