Origin. The Scriptures indicate that the creature known as Satan did not always have that name. Rather, this descriptive name was given to him because of his taking a course of opposition and resistance to God. The name he had before this is not given. God is the only Creator, and ‘his activity is perfect,’ with no injustice or unrighteousness. (De 32:4) Therefore, the one becoming Satan was, when created, a perfect, righteous creature of God. He is a spirit person, for he appeared in heaven in the presence of God. (Job chaps 1, 2; Re 12:9)

The first book of the Bible tells of an opposer of God who showed up in the garden of Eden. He is described as “the serpent,” but he was not a mere animal. The last book of the Bible identifies him as “the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.” He is also called “the original serpent.” That spirit person had no doubt been present when God prepared the earth for humans.

Since all of Jehovah’s creations are perfect, however, who made this “Devil,” this “Satan”? Put simply, one of the powerful spirit sons of God turned himself into the Devil. How was this possible? Well, today a person who was once decent and honest may become a thief. How does that happen? The person may allow a wrong desire to develop in his heart. If he keeps thinking about it, that wrong desire may become very strong. Then if the opportunity presents itself, he may act upon the bad desire that he has been thinking about.

This happened in the case of Satan the Devil. He apparently heard God tell Adam and Eve to have children and to fill the earth with their offspring. (Genesis 1:27, 28) ‘Why, all these humans could worship me rather than God!’ Satan evidently thought. So a wrong desire built up in his heart. Eventually, he took action to deceive Eve by telling her lies about God. (Genesis 3:1-5) He thus became a “Devil,” which means “Slanderer.” At the same time, he became “Satan,” which means “Opposer.”

I think the conclusion can certainly be established from the following verses:

Job 1:6
One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.

Matthew 25:41
"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

2 Corinthians
13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Jude 1
6And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Which bible? There are dozens of variations in use in the present day, and that they have replaced slightly from what the unique authors wrote. some bibles have a passage in revelation linking devil to the devil, yet it quite is truly not chanced on interior the oldest copies of the scriptures we've. devil in basic terms seems as quickly as interior the completed bible. interior the Hebrew e book of pastime. in this tale devil is a newborn of god, strolling the earth to locate those unworthy of G-d. His function is as a prosecutor against the unworthy, and you will observe in pastime he can do no longer something without gods permission. So of course devil can't be the evil one in this tale, as he can in basic terms do what god enables. Lucifer grew to develop into area of the Christians new testomony and as time went on grew to develop into linked with each and every of the damaging characters of the bible, which incorporates the serpent, devils, or maybe devil. Lucifer isn't named everywhere interior the unique Hebrew bible, even nevertheless many christian bibles replaced a verse is the OT in Issiah that replaced into consistent with a Babylonian king to Lucifer. for this reason all references to him are interior the NT, usually present in John, the single gnostic gospel to make it into the actual christian cannon. as a effect of this it quite is uncomplicated to work out Lucifer, devil or 'the devil' interchanged in diverse variations of the bible., yet no longer interior the main precise version like the NIV. it is likewise possible to work out human beings quoting you Isiah no longer realizeing that a) it refers back to the babylonian king, and B) It does not hyperlink devil and lucifer jointly, that's the factor of your question. Revelation 12:9 "And the super dragon replaced into forged out, That old Serpent, referred to as The devil, and devil, which deceiveth the completed international: he replaced into forged out into the earth, and his angels have been forged out with him." this does not at once use the call lucifer and devil jointly, yet because christians mistackenly have self belief lucifer replaced into forged from heaven with angels then if it truly is declared of devil they draw the hyperlink this way.

Ezekiel chapter 28 verses 13,14,15,16,17,18 & !9.
13.You were in Eden,the garden of God;every precious ston adorned you:ruby,topaz and emerald,chrisolite,onyx and jasper,sapphire,turquoise and beryl.Your settings and mountings were made of gold;on the day you were created they were prepared.
14.You were anointed as a gardian cherub,for so I ordained you.
You were on the holly mount of God;you walked among the fiery stons.
15.You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
16.Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence,and you sinned.So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,and I expeled you,O gardian cherub,from among the fiery stones.
17.Your heart become proud on account of your beauty,and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.So I threw you to the earth;I made a spectacle of you before kings.
18.By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries.So I made a fire come out from you,and it consumed you,and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
19.All the nations who knew you are appalled at you;you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.

"How art thou fallen from heaven
O day-star, son of the morning! (Helel ben Shahar)
How art thou cast down to the ground,
That didst cast lots over the nations!
And thou saidst in thy heart:
'I will ascend into heaven,
Above the stars of God (El)
Will I exalt my throne;
And I will sit upon the mount of meeting,
In the uttermost parts of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the Most High (Elyon).'
Yet thou shalt be brought dow to the nether-world,
To the uttermost parts of the pit."
- Isaiah 14:12-15
