Where in the Old Testament, is Satan defined as a rebel angel or the Devil?

Answer 1

it doesn't. genesis only mentions a serpent and if you read it you will realise that the serpent is meant to be just that; a serpent. it shows how the snakes lost their legs, it is a 'how things came to be story', just like 'how the leopard got its spots'.if you read it literally rather than forcing any esoteric meaning into it, it is what it says.

if you read isaiah, it is clear and unequivical that this refers to the king of babylon. satan is not mentioned and lucifer is a babylonian god.

if you read what the jewish encyclopedia says about satan you will realise that they interpret satan as god's advocate for testing the faith of humanity, not an agency of evil.

and if you read the story from the jewish angelology there is no mention of satan in the myth, (it's not in the bible), of the fall of angels.

satan only appears in the new testament as the devil. it seems that it was a popular folklore and not part of the real religion of the time. it seems to have orinated after the return from the exile in babylon where the exiles were exposed to the dualism of zororastorism. so satan was just originally a boogie man used to scare children but somehow over time got incorporated into the christian,(not jewish), religious cosmogeny.

Genisis Chapter 6 Verse 47

Answer 3

Depends on how you define "devil." He is described no where in the Hebrew Scriptures as a fallen angel.

Answer 4

Isaiah 14 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! For 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
