SATAN
FALLEN ANGEL
ANCIENT SERPANT- THE DEVIL
FACTS from the whole BIBLE,
and specifically the LAST book: REVELATION
A friend of mine on FB asked:
"if you go to hell for being bad, why do you suffer?
Wouldn't Satan reward you?"
My responce was: Read Revelation. Satan is on the punishment list too.
But it's more complicated than that!
I'm blogging today because I would like to answer this question
in full color and with great humility by the grace of God, my Lord.
Let's start out with:
Here are 2 out of 13 from Bible Gateway
(Technically 15, but 2 half-word results were not related).
Luke chapter 12 NIV
3 What
you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you
have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the
roofs. 4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5 But
I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after your body has
been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you,
fear Him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;
There are 47 SCRIPTURE RESULTS and 31 from the TOPICAL INDEX
Here are some Highlights:
1# Satan, the Afflicter:
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”
4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. 5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
6 The Lord said to Satan,
“Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”
7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
On a side Note, read
for the full conclusion of Job's story!
CHAPTER 42 NIV
1 Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
things too wonderful for me to know.
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite,
“I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not
spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has."
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes
and gave him twice as much as he had before.
2# Satan, the Accuser: Zechariah 3 NIV
Matthew 16 NIV
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
2 Corinthians 11 NIV
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
1Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and
Satan[a] standing at his right side to accuse him.
3# Satan, the Tempter:
Matthew 4 NIV
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil.

7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
5# Satan, the Thief:
Mark 4 NIV
15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown.As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
John 10 NIV
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
6# Satan, the fallen Angel: Isaiah 14 NIV
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.[b]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
7# Satan, Less powerful than Jesus, God's Son:
Luke 10 NIV
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
24 Now
I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her
teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will
not impose any other burden on you,
25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’ 26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[a]—just as I have received authority from my Father.
Revelation 12 NIV
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.
Revelation 20 NIV
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into
the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast
and the false prophet had been thrown.
They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it.
The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne,
and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it,
and death and Hades gave up
the dead that were in them, and each person was
judged according to what they had done.
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
The lake of fire is the second death.
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was
thrown into the lake of fire.
25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’ 26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[a]—just as I have received authority from my Father.
Revelation 12 NIV
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.

The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.

and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

High Priest
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[f] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
