Who Is The Devil?

"Satan was once an angel called Lucifer, who, in love with his own beauty, fell into pride and self-centeredness. His rebellion manifests in five "I will" statements addressed against God (vv. 13, 14). With five utterance he declares he will take the place of the Most High God. But vv. 15-20 reveal that God has the last word, as the Most High makes five responses: ‘Satan, you will 1) be thrown into hell; 2) be gazed upon (that is, made a spectacle); 3) be talked about (mocked, scorned); 4) be cast out of your grave like a carcass; and 5) be alone.’ God’s ‘last word’ on Satan is still applicable to any challenge he attempts to bring against any of the people of God."
