“Satan to us is a symbol of pride, liberty and individualism, and it serves as an external metaphorical projection of our highest personal potential. We do not believe in Satan as a being or person.”  churchofsatan.com/faq-fundamental-beliefs
“Belief in the devil is in no way harmless.
Countless innocent women have been burnt as witches because superstitious people believed they had sold their souls to the devil. This is just one example of the harm belief in the devil causes. Even in the 21st century some of the sillier Christian Fundamentalists subject helpless children or adults to traumatic Exorcism because they imagine someone is possessed by the devil.”

“We have said that Lucifer came to the world to wake man up, to help him remember his divine origin, the divine origin of his Spirit, and to help him free himself from the body-soul in which he is trapped, and from created time and matter.”

“The Modern Church Doesn’t Need a Make-Believe Devil..

The biggest problem with all this talk of Satan is that he doesn’t exist.”
“…But it’s time to be clear: the devil does not exist.”

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Even now Satan is preparing for his final assault upon an unsuspecting world. In preparation he is “redefining” himself to deceive mankind into thinking he doesn’t exist, or worse, that he is not the “deceiver” and “destroyer” of men’s soul that the scripture portrays him as.

Whether it is the humanist atheist, church of Satan, or even so called Evangelical false brethren, Satan is redefining himself and he is getting away with it!  Just look at how he uses the media (and when I state media, I mean books,movies or any kind of electronic or print that can be used to convey a story to the mind.) to apply this important ploy of spiritual warfare.

A few examples,as I write this, is a prime time show on TV called “Lucifer” that portrays a once fallen angel given another chance to do good, as a crime fighter; to redeem himself. Lets not forget the controversy over  Hollywood’s movie “Noah” that portrays the fallen angels, of Genesis chapter six that “left their first habitation” to marry women, as those that, according to the plot line, were treated unjustly by the “Creator”. They were later able to redeem themselves in their help toward Noah.

Yes, the deceiver wants evil to be portrayed as good so that he can lead a world wide rebellion against the Lord Jesus Christ. He is not afraid to speak blasphemies against God and against his anointed. Satan’s end time man will be his spokes person.

Dan.7:25  And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Rev.13:5  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Even the modern bible versions are redefining sin and satan in an attempt to confuse Christians. In Gail Riplinger’s exhaustive comparison of the various bible versions we find clues in Satan’s subtle attacks against the doctrines of Christ and His church in various versions of the bible. Part of war-fare is deception and Satan being the father of lies knows that in order to work in the lives of men and to continue to deceive the world in rejecting Christ and his salvation his true agenda must be removed, or made to seem unimportant. Take, for example, the scriptures concerning the judgment of Satan.
G.A. Riplinger objectively and methodically documents the hidden alliance between new versions and the New Age Movement’s One World Religion.
KJV NIV
Isa 14:12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isaiah 14:12How 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!
Eze 28:17  … I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Eze 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Eze 28:19  All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Ezek.28:17
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.

I won’t go into detail because G.Riplinger has an exhaustive expose on the new bible versions, and time won’t permit here, but notice the subtle changes that are made in the NIV.
In Isaiah, the KJV reveals to the world the name of the enemy of man’s soul. Luciferians, and New Age propagandists have their “talking points” nullified by the scripture’s unflattering account of their “founder”.

In Ezekiel’s account The Lord speaks of not only the king of Tyre’s judgment, but the future fulfillment in the “Wicked One” behind his power and authority. Whereas the NIV uses “past tense” making it to only refer to the earthly potentate. Any future judgment is removed. Very subtle! but effective attack on the scripture.


 Little known attributes of Satan from the scripture

So that we should not be ignorant of his devices, the Holy Spirit describes Satan in various ways through scripture. One of the little known ways He uses are attributes of beasts.

  • As a lion:

–1Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

  • As a dragon:

–Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

“…sorrow is turned into joy before him.”

  • Job 41:4 Will he [Leviathan] make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
  • Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
  • Job 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
  • Job 41:25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
  • Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
  • Job 41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

In Job chapter 41, the Lord is asking Job some rhetorical questions concerning one of His creations. Though the Lord is talking about Leviathan,”..that crooked serpent.”, this author believes He is also referring to Satan. Verse 34 gives him away.

..he is a king over all the children of pride.

Paul refers to the world as “children of disobedience”

Eph_2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Now we can glean some information about “that spirit” from Leviathan.

Will he make a covenant with thee? 

Can Satan be bargained with?

His heart is as firm as a stone.

Satan has no sympathy for God’s creation. As a matter of fact, he finds joy in our afflictions and sorrows.

Job 41:22  In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 

Satan uses his ministers to keep the world in darkness. If he can convince the world that the bible is just a compilation of fairy tales and stories for children, works that can’t be trusted, he can keep his true agenda hidden.

Did Leviathan really exist? Because if not, then any reference to “a king over all the children of pride.” would be without merit. The thought of such a creature having existed would be troubling for the “one” who the scripture likens it to. But should we be surprised of such a creature? A sea serpent that trolls the waters?

Job 41:9  Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 

 

 

Ok! So archaeologist have discovered some very interesting fossils that suggest that such a creature could have existed. But, “fire breathing”?

Not so far-fetched when considering some of the strange creatures that currently exist. Enter the bombardier beetle. A wondrous work of God’s power and majesty. The intricant design of this little creature’s defense system that shows God’s care for even the smallest.

Bombardier beetle using a mixture of gases, released at boiling point, in defense.

The spray is produced from a reaction between two chemical compounds, hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, which are stored in two reservoirs in the beetle’s abdomen. When the aqueous solution of hydroquinones and hydrogen peroxide reaches the vestibule, catalysts facilitate the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide and the oxidation of the hydroquinone.[1] Heat from the reaction brings the mixture to near the boiling point of water and produces gas that drives the ejection. The damage caused can be fatal to attacking insects.

shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 

Without our advocate,Jesus Christ, we have no chance of challenging Satan. If Satan was to appear before us in his true form, it would be a frightful sight even for the strongest among men.

What does God say about Satan’s true form? The bible speaks of Satan having the ability to transform into something more appealing to the human eye.

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

But from the beginning of his creation he had a certain form; and possibly still retains it. Let’s look at the book of Ezekiel.

Anointed cherub that covereth

Eze 28:12-18 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

The Holy Spirit reveals a mystery in this small narrative. Of an age that has since passed away; a time before man became a part of God’s creation.

God’s prophet mentioning the earthly king of Tyrus, nevertheless focuses his ire toward the spiritual force behind that man. None other then the prince of the power of the air himself, satan. Even though he is not mentioned by name, the mention of a fallen cherub reveals that it can be none other.

The first time satan appears in scripture we find him as the deceiver in the garden of Eden. Ezekiel is not speaking of this time with our first parents for it mentions in verse 13 of being in Eden. That he was the anointed cherub covered with precious stones: a thing of beauty and brightness. A creature with tabrets and pipes made in him. He was anointed for covering and ministering to God.

A tabret comes from the word tabor which means to tap.

TA’BOR, noun [Eng. tap.] A small drum used as an accompaniment to a pipe or fife.

PIPE, noun [Eng. fife.]

1. A wind instrument of music, consisting of a long tube of wood or metal;

So it seems that the “anointed cherub” was created to minister to God in music. This is in stark contrast of the rebellious spirit possessing the serpent in the garden “planted eastward in Eden”.

From here we have to dive deeper into God’s word to the previous state of this “anointed cherub” to understand possibly what his goal is. We will look to a past age to find out his plan for this present age.

I believe it is in Ezekiel where some answers are found.

Ezekiel's vision

Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

Eze 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

Notice the likeness of the four living creatures in Ezekiel’s vision and more precisely their faces.

And Every one had four faces

Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

 The Holy Spirit throws some insight into what we do not see when it comes to the angelic realm. Notice the parallel verse where this description is given again.

Eze 10:14  And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

Face of an ox is replaced with face of a cherub in chapter 10.

   = Face of Cherub

 Hence, “Art imitates life”

I will be like the Most High!

Man in his quest for knowledge has found himself in league with the serpent. God in his love and mercy toward man placed a wedge between the alliance by “placing enmity between” the seed of the woman and the serpent. The damage was done; the creation marred, but God’s plan for redemption was already at work.

Though Satan’s head was bruised at the cross of Calvary, God had not left off punishment for the “physical” serpent therefore we should not find it a strange coincidence that in every part of the globe, the snake is feared and hated above all creatures.

Isa 14:12 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!
Isa 14:13 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:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.


“Man escaping from the flames of war and reaching skyward for eternal peace. The bronze sphere from which the figure rises represents the superstitions and legends of mankind [Christianity]. Four granite carvings, representing the geographic civilizations of the world, are placed around the sphere”.
[Excerpt from the monument in the picture located in Downtown Cleveland Ohio an example of Satan’s gospel in media and art]

Satan’s counterfeits:

Little is said about Satan and his counterfeits. After all, he being the father of lies, is the master counterfeiter.

Though Satan knows that he can never be the Most High, for that is reserved for Jesus Christ alone. Nevertheless, he understands that in order to deceive mankind, the counterfeit must be as close to the genuine article as possible. The apostle Paul states that we should not marvel at his attempt to deceive.

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Satan has his ministers to propagate his gospel. His counterfeit gospel is also a gospel of peace (false peace) that he promises through the lusts of the flesh. Maybe you have been visited by, or seen his ministers in action. They are available for both public and private viewing; in print, and in movies, and art. The subtlety of the serpent knows no limits. His message is one of rebellion against God and against His gospel. He encourages man to live without God. Educational, business, scientific, and government institutions’ foundations are based upon this concept, and it is old as the garden of Eden.

..and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.[Gen 3:5]

There is usually some element of truth in all lies. That’s what makes them more convincing. Our first parents did receive knowledge of  “good and evil” and they did become “gods” in the sense that thy chose their own destiny. But the tempter withheld a vital truth.

Jer.10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

Those that choose to live each day of their life in their own power and wit have made themselves a god, and the gods of this world will ultimately perish from off it.

Satan’s promise of Immortality

I will take a few words to discuss one of many counterfeits. Satan,in league with man, has unlocked the secret of immortality; so they think.

Since the middle of the 20th century man has worked to map the human genome. In doing so, the question as to why cells die may have been answered. Take for instance the following information.

In 1951, Henrietta Lacks, a poor woman with a middle-school education, made one of the greatest medical contributions ever. Her cells, taken from a cervical-cancer biopsy, became the first immortal human cell line—the cells reproduce infinitely in a lab. Although other immortal lines have since been established, Lacks’s “HeLa” cells are the standard in labs around the world. Together they outweigh 100 Empire State Buildings and could circle the equator three times.

“Hela cell”. The first immortal cells,they reproduce infinitely in a lab.

Though there are several reasons why cells become “immortal”, including chromosomal abnormalities, one feature common to all of them is that they’ve violated something called the “Hayflick Limit”. In the early 1960s, Leonard Hayflick, now a cell biologist at the University of California at San Francisco, discovered that normal cells have a limit to how many times they can divide. After about 50 divisions, they enter a state called senescence — where the cells are alive but not actively dividing. They stay in this state until they die a natural death. But occasionally, some cells divide beyond their Hayflick Limit and never stop. And according to Hayflick, these cells are almost always cancerous

It was discovered that Lacks’s cancerous cells used an enzyme called telomerase to repair their DNA, allowing them, and other types of cancer cells, to function when normal cells would have died. Anti-cancer drugs that work against this enzyme are currently in early clinical trials.

Scientists Successfully Embed Silicon Chips Inside Human Cells
Scientists have already created mini-cyborgs out of living cells and semiconductor materials, but now biological cells can also contain tiny silicon chips. Those silicon chips could become future intracellular sensors that monitor microscopic activities, deliver drugs to target cells or even repair cell structures. It may also represent a small step toward fulfilling several of the Pentagon’s wishes set forth by DARPA, including engineering immortal controllable synthetic beings with genetic kill-switches.Read more…
As part of its budget for the next year, Darpa is investing $6 million into a project called BioDesign, with the goal of eliminating “the randomness of natural evolutionary advancement.” The plan would assemble the latest bio-tech knowledge to come up with living, breathing creatures that are genetically engineered to “produce the intended biological effect.” Darpa wants the organisms to be fortified with molecules that bolster cell resistance to death, so that the lab-monsters can “ultimately be programmed to live indefinitely.”
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military.Read More
The “genetic genie” has been loosed from his imprisonment, and now the pinnacle of the “slippery slope” has been reached. The ability to control the genetic kill switch must be found. The author believes that silicon chip implants in living cells must be used to monitor and control cell activity on a holistic scale. A central processing unit will be needed to monitor the “cyborg” cells.

Gen. 11:[6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

The implantable chip will be hailed as a medical breakthrough, with promise of immortality.
