Question

already happened??>???

Answer 1

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

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 polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 2

There is something called Tradition. It holds equal weight with scripture. The book of Revelation speaks of the great battle in heaven where Satan fell from grace. Many apply that story to the fall of Satan at the beginning of time.

Answer 3

Nowhere.
Satan is alive and well and misleading the entire inhabited earth.
Adam and Eve died, and returned to the dust from which they came. They no longer exist and never will again.

2 Corinthians 4:4
Genesis 3:19

Answer 4

Satan gets thrown into the abyss, this is a totally different place than Hell. He doesn't get thrown in untill after the tribulation which is about to take place.

Answer 5

way too many ques for one million ans.- u might desire to invite purely one million or 2 at a time! i will provide my ans to one million or 2, ok? devil became Lucifer, the main eye-catching of angels till he sinned (satisfaction) and became then forged to earth with one million/3 of angels following him. Then he (devil), a fallen angel=demon, tempted Eve. This took place interior the initiating, many, many yrs till now Jesus became born. Angels are distinctive than guy. guy is human, angels are actually not. And guy under no circumstances turns into an angel! devil would be forged to the Lake of fireplace(hell) after the Armageddon conflict whilst Jesus comes (2d coming). there isn't any such element as Jesus rebirth--you may earnings very much as all of us do to envision your bible. thank you for worrying adequate approximately God to invite questions! proceed to invite.

Answer 6

The text of Revelation is often presented in the past tense because the perspective of the speaker is from a time after the events occurred. In other words, the awareness of the speaker shifted to a time after the events therein described. A lot of Biblical prophecy is presented in this manner.

The respondent who offered the following is mistaken:

"Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology."

This guy may be a satanist. The word "Lucifer" was not in any bible prior to the Latin translation known as the Vulgate. It appears once in the King James Version, to wit:

9Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

11Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

This is the "Old Testament", and is not the description of an "enlightened one".
