The Simple Answers… To Life’s Most Important Questions.
Bible Study Course Lesson 2 – 13
Shockingly, many churches don’t believe there is a devil, or evil spirits of any kind. The only thing that can be said to them is “do you not read the Bible… or just not believe it?” Because if you believe the Bible, you believe there is a devil. It’s that simple. Claiming to believe the Bible and not believing there is a real devil is like reading about WWII and then believing the Nazis are just a metaphor for the evil in all of us.
But why did God create the devil – or did God create the devil? And either way, why has God permitted him free access to wreak havoc and deceive people for 6,000 years now – or has it been free access? Where did he come from, and where is he going? We have all been taught to believe in a pitchfork-toting, horned-and-tailed, fiery-red devil. A malevolent spirit hell-bent (pardon the pun) on murder and mayhem. One who is at war with God over men’s souls, and by all appearances is winning that battle – after all, far more souls are in the devil’s churches than in God’s church!
But is that what he is really like? What exactly is he, and how did he come to exist? Is God unable to stop his rampages? Or does He just not want to stop him? Every church has their own special opinion about these questions… and not one of them is even close to what the Bible plainly says. To properly understand the devil, we have to properly understand angels. First, there is not a single female angel in the entire Bible – and no reason to believe they exist at all. Every single time an angel or angels are mentioned, it is in a masculine sense.
What do angels appear like? Mark 16:3-6. Who was this “young man”? Matthew 28:2-6. [Especially compare verse 5 with Mark 16:6.] What are angels made of? Hebrews 1:7. What is their purpose? Hebrews 1:14. What is our relationship to the angels? Revelation 22:8-9. Will our future position be above angels? 1 Corinthians 6:3. The word “angel” comes from the Greek and Hebrew words meaning “a messenger”. They are spirit beings who were created by God to assist in our salvation. They were made to be “ministering spirits”, to the “heirs of salvation”, and as you saw in Revelation 22:9, the righteous angels acknowledge that.
You might say that Earth is like a colonial mansion, and angels are the butlers for the Lord of the manor; and their primary function is to help raise, protect, and assist the “heirs of salvation”. Compare that idea to Galatians 4:1-3. Today, we are made “a little lower than the angels” (Hebrews 2:6-8). And even though we are heirs of God’s throne, we are today less powerful than they, kept under “tutors and governors” until we are qualified to receive our inheritance. So even though all things are to be put “under our feet”, or under our control, today “we do not yet see all things put under” our feet.
WHAT ARE ANGELS?
Angels are made of spirit, just like God is, and just like we will be. Remember, spirit is simply a different type of material than flesh; a better material, but still a real, tangible material. How did Jesus describe spirit? John 3:8. Can angels be invisible? 2 Kings 6:15-17. [The horses and chariots of fire can only have been invisible angelic armies.] Can angels sin? 2 Peter 2:4. Are devils different species than angels? Psalms 78:49. So a devil is exactly the same kind of being as an angel; the difference is in their heart, not in their spiritual flesh.
Are all evil angels (evil spirits) the same degree of evil? Luke 11:26. How many angels are there? Revelation 5:11. How many of the angels has Satan deceived? Revelation 12:3-4. Who is the red dragon? Verse 9. And what are the stars? Revelation 1:20. Note the absolute minimum number of angels in the throne room now is 101 million. And since 1/3 of the original number have followed Satan, and 101 million are left, then the original number must have been at least 150 million. That in turn means there are probably at the very least 50 million – that’s 50,000,000 – fallen angels.
So when one third of the total angels sinned and followed Satan, they became “his angels” (Revelation 12:7). And once they sinned, God “cast them down to hell”. So where is that? Where are these evil angels today? This word “hell” is not from the word hades or gehenna like every other instance of “hell” in the New Testament. This is a word only used once, the Greek tartaroo, more familiar to us as its root word tartarus. Let me be absolutely clear; this “hell” the angels were “cast down to” is NOT the same “hell” used elsewhere in the Bible. It is a completely different word.
So where is Tartarus? Each commentary gives you a different opinion. But we don’t need to know the Greek definition of Tartarus according to Homer, we need the Biblical definition of Tartarus. The Bible interprets the Bible, remember! But how can we know what Tartarus is, if this is the only time the word is used? Easy! Because this ISN’T the only time this event is recorded! When the angels were “cast down” to Tartarus, where were they cast? Revelation 12:9. Where did Satan’s rebellion lead the angels who sinned? Revelation 12:4. What did Jesus witness? Luke 10:18. And where are they today? Ephesians 6:12. And what are they doing? 1 Peter 5:8. Who are the false gods that man has worshiped since creation? Leviticus 17:7.
So you see, without referring to the classical, pagan, Greek authors we can prove from the Bible alone where Tartarus is – it’s right here on the Earth!
ANGELIC JAIL
Read Jude 1:6. This verse tells us several facts; that the angels were given an “estate”; that they left it, and then were placed by God “in everlasting chains under darkness”. This phrase is often misunderstood; does the phrase “everlasting” mean “for all eternity”, or is there an END? See the last half of the verse “UNTO [until] the judgment of the great day….” So these angels are kept in this state only UNTIL the judgment of the great day; who will be doing that judgment? 1 Corinthians 6:2-3. When will we do this? Daniel 7:22. Where will we do this?
Revelation 20:4. So angels will be judged by the resurrected saints, and those found evil will be cast “into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”. The rest of the angels will be rewarded appropriately. Do the same rules apply to everyone equally? Numbers 15:16. Do the same rules that apply to us apply to angels? Numbers 15:29. Like us, all angels sinned in ignorance – with the exception of Satan, and even that is debatable. But Satan deceived the other angels when “his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth” (Revelation 12:4).
And like us, not all angels were deceived equally; some knew better than others, so their sin was worse. In some ways, they know even less than we do (1 Peter 1:12), so they DESIRE to look into the things we understand! Thus, some fallen angels are more wicked than others (Luke 11:26), and some angels are more righteous than others (Daniel 10:21). Can angels can STILL join the rebellion? Hebrews 12:26-27. God is going to shake heaven – yet in the future! – and no one is there but angels and Jesus, and He trusts Jesus!
God is going to allow Satan to tempt angels so whoever CAN be shaken WILL be shaken! If one of the angels wants to join the rebellion, He wants to know NOW! Only that way will He know whom He can trust and whom He can’t! Just as He’s doing with mankind! Meanwhile, at the original battle in Revelation 12, after they lost the evil angels were cast to Earth; at the time, there was nothing on the Earth, and it was shrouded in thick darkness as we see it in Genesis 1:2, so they were held by “everlasting chains under darkness” (Jude 1:6), and are awaiting judgment even now. And they know the day is coming – see Matthew 8:29. And they know it’s not far away now – Revelation 12:12.
THE OPPOSITE VIEWPOINT
So what are they doing here – are they idle? Revelation 12:9. Are they pretending to be the good, righteous angels the world calls “holy”? Or do they appear as the hobgoblins and ghosts you see at Halloween? 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. These evil angels, far from appearing as Halloween caricatures, pass themselves off as “angels of light” – the good guys! This is very important! You already know that most of the world’s “Christianity” is in fact false Christianity, run by a counterfeit Jesus, in reality Satan the Devil. Does the Devil teach the truth? John 8:44. What do people who follow the Devil or the false Christianity do with the truth? Acts 13:10. Does the Devil pretend to be the opposite of what he is? 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 again.
So everything he teaches is in fact the opposite of the truth. When the Devil says “this man is righteous”, the man is actually evil. Make sense? When the Devil says “this man was a hero”, he means “this man was a hero to MY rebellious cause”. On the other hand, when the Devil says “this man was incorrigibly wicked”… was the man really incorrigibly wicked… or was he actually exceedingly righteous? Isaiah 5:20. Underline this in your mind! Satan calls good “evil”, and he calls evil “good”. Darkness to him is “light” and light is “darkness”.
What God calls freedom is slavery to him! And what God considers slavery he calls “freedom” (John8:32-34). So when you see a holy angel in a false Christian painting, it actually represents a fallen angel. When you see a horrible, evil gargoyle, vampire, or werewolf, it actually represents a servant of God. That’s how Satan views things, remember! Nothing is more offensive to him than obedience to God! When the false Christianity speaks of “good”, it speaks of what God calls evil! When it talks of a wonderful glorious Jesus, it really means Satan himself!
On the other hand, when it speaks of the most horrible monster, an evil, ugly, pitchfork-lading devil, it is really speaking of God Himself! And that means that the frightening witches and demons the false Christianity fears and mocks on Halloween are in fact the true Christians and righteous angels, as perceived by the fallen angels and false Christians!
THE KING OF TYRUS
Remember: the only information we have about the Devil is in the Bible! Try to forget what Dante and Milton said. Their books were based on the doctrines of the false Christianity and the images they portray are almost exactly opposite of what the truth really is – naturally enough.The Devil is mentioned here and there throughout the Bible, but there are two main sections of scripture addressed to him – Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. So let’s go through them verse-by-verse and see what God says about the past, present, and future of the Devil.
Start in Ezekiel 28. It is addressed to two different people, a “prince of Tyrus” and a “king of Tyrus”. The identity of the prince of Tyrus is debatable, but the king of Tyrus is undeniably the Devil. No possible human, or any other angel, could fit the description as perfectly as the Devil does. In Ezekiel 28:12, God – who is never lavish with His praise – basically calls this king of Tyrus “the best that ever was”. He says (NKJV) “You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.”
God says this being was “the seal of perfection”. God knows what perfection means, and He uses the term twice in this verse! Ezekiel 28:13 proves this is no ordinary king for he had been in Eden – 3,500 years earlier! Finally, this verse makes it clear that God created him! He was not born of women like a human king would have been! In Ezekiel 28:14, we see that Lucifer had a very high position in the government of God, for he was “THE anointed cherub that covereth”.
To see where he worked, read Exodus 25:17-22. Here God gives instructions for making the lid for the Ark of the Covenant, which is the mercy seat where God sits; and covering this seat are two cherubs. One of them was Lucifer. It is likely the other was Michael. In Ezekiel 28:15 we see he was PERFECT in his ways. That means there was a time when this being had NEVER SINNED – when he was perfect according to GOD’S OWN STATEMENT! The Devil was not CREATED EVIL – he was created PERFECT! As Moffatt translates this verse: “From the day you were created, you lived a perfect life, till you were discovered doing wrong”.
After his sin, God said He will “cast him as profane out of the mountain of God”. Remember, the “mountain of God” is a Bible symbol for the government or Kingdom of God. And what is his final end? “And I will destroy thee, O covering cherub”. And as most people probably know, Ezekiel 28:17 speaks of his pride and beauty; but the second half of that verse most people ignore, “I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you”. Now compare that to Isaiah 14:10, 16-17. See how similar they are? Hold that thought.
THE DESTINY OF THE DEVIL
Most of the world believes Satan is immortal, that he will be tortured unceasingly in hell for eternity – but then they also believe the same thing about humans, and they’re clearly wrong about that! Satan will not be destroyed as soon as Jesus returns because God still has a use for him. It is important that the sinners throughout history have an opportunity to see the proud angel they worshiped as a god be utterly humiliated and exposed for what he is. It is important for mankind to see exactly whom it is they trusted, and how powerless he was to save them from sin. So until mankind has had a chance to do that, he will not be destroyed.
Once that happens, God will deal with the Devil once and for all; read Ezekiel 28:18-19. He won’t burn forever in hell, writhing in pain! God says he will be DESTROYED, and brought to ASHES in the sight of all that are watching. Then what happens? Does he continue existing in this ash state? Does he somehow stay alive in the fires of this special furnace for all eternity? Verse 19 in the ASV says, “and thou shalt nevermore have any being”. At that point, he will cease to exist.
Think about it… can God create something He can’t destroy? Can He make a rock so big He can’t lift it? A bowl of soup so hot He can’t drink it? A universe so big He can’t see the other side? I’m quite feeble, but even I have never built something I cannot destroy given enough time. Has God? Do you really think God is unable to do ANYTHING, including destroy spirit if He wants to do so? Is God almighty… or isn’t He? That alone should answer the question. But we haven’t even started yet! What are the wages of sin? Romans 6:23. Has Satan sinned? 1 John 3:8. Since Satan is the INVENTOR of sin, will he be spared the penalty of sin – death?
Think about it! The wages of sin is death! Is it fair to exempt the being who sinned first – and most – from the only penalty the Bible commands for sin?? You may object saying, “but hell is a fate worse than death” – and that’s true. And that alone proves it CAN’T be the fate of the devil! Again, the wages of sin is death. The price sin merits is death. And it would be a sin (an act in violation of God’s own Law) for God to give Satan greater penalty than the law prescribes! Besides, in hell Satan would escape the penalty of death the law demands! For if he never dies, the law will never be satisfied!
One major reason people believe the Devil cannot be killed is Luke 20:35-36. That at first looks clear – but is it? Does the fact that angels cannot die mean angels cannot be killed by God? The redwood tree does not appear to die of old age – ever. It lives indefinitely. But it can be cut down by man!
Is spirit “corruptible” (subject to decay)? 1 Corinthians 15:44-54. So spirit bodies never decay or die on their own! Does killing a man’s body kill his soul (spirit)? Matthew 10:28. We cannot destroy a soul! In that sense, our souls are immortal – un-killable! But is God able to destroy our soul? (Same verse). Just because something never dies of natural causes, or cannot be killed by other men does not mean it cannot be killed by God! Read Matthew 25:41. This fire is especially prepared for the Devil and his angels.
Satan walked “up and down in the midst of the stones of fire” (Ezekiel 28:14), so God knows ordinary fire would not harm him at all; so this is a SPECIAL fire God has prepared specifically to destroy spirit! That fire God prepares CAN destroy spirit – for God told Satan “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” (Ezekiel 28:18). So God can most certainly destroy spirit. And just because flesh and blood cannot destroy anything made of spirit… doesn’t mean things made of spirit cannot destroy other things made of spirit! The Bible doesn’t specifically say any angel has ever been killed… but what does Revelation 12:7 call the rebellion?
Is it a wrestling match? A sport? A bloodless argument? Or a WAR? And what is the defining characteristic of war, if not death! Revelation 11:7. I won’t go so far as to say that angels have been killed by other angels… but I think it’s presumptuous for us to assume they couldn’t have been.
FOREVER AND EVER
And now we come to the primary objection, based almost entirely on Revelation 20:10. Like the word Tartarus, you can spend weeks reading papers written about this verse and still have no clue what it means. Commentators don’t know because they don’t trust the Bible to explain it! As you will see, it is absurdly simple if you do. Everyone agrees the Devil is cast into this “lake of fire”, but how long does he stay there? The verse says “for ever and ever”, but does that mean “for all eternity” as we understand the term today – or does it mean something else?
The word “ever” is from the Greek word aion, the source of our English word eon. So to begin with, what does the English word “eon” mean? Forever? Or merely an AGE, such as the age of dinosaurs or the industrial age? Furthermore, we use the word in a plural; “dinosaurs ruled the Earth for eons”. If “eon” meant “forever”, it would have no end – therefore there could never be more than one eon! But of course “eon” doesn’t mean “forever”, it simply means an unspecified period of time. It was the same in Greek. This is why Weymouth translates this verse “and day and night they will suffer torture UNTIL the Ages of the Ages.” But what does that mean?
Again notice that “ages” is used as a plural which alone proves it cannot last for all eternity! But as always, don’t take the word of anyone on this. See how the Bible uses the word and then decide what it means based on how GOD uses it. Then you can decide whether God meant an eternity of punishment, or merely an AGE of punishment, or a punishment AT THE END of an age! This word is used many times in the New Testament, and in many of them it could mean eternity; God will be worshiped for aion, and so on. But there are also other verses that clearly cannot mean eternity.
Read Mark 4:19 (my quotes here are from the KJV); there the words “of this world” are translated from the Greek word aion. Is it possible to make sense of that verse if you read it “the cares of this eternity…”? Not really. But what if you read it as “the cares of this age…”? That makes a lot of sense! Now do the same thing to these other verses. Luke 16:8, “of this world” came from aion; John 9:32, “the world began” all came from that one word. Finally, see Matthew 13:40. “World” is translated from aion. And notice clearly that AION HAS AN END! None of these verses permit aion to be translated as “eternity”, but all of them – and all the others – work perfectly if you translate aion as “age”! Thus it is established that aion means merely an AGE. A single phase of the plan of God.
In Matthew 13:40, Jesus says the present aion – age – will end at His return. But when that age ends, another will begin! The millennial age – and when that ends, another age, the second resurrection age will begin! As you’re learning, God’s plan consists of many successive ages, both past and future, all of them a part of a single, grand plan to create for Himself a family! That means there is one BIG age, consisting of many SMALLER ages – one large AION which is made up of many shorter AION! But there will come a day when the complete plan of God is finished, and the AGE of AGES is over!
What happens then? 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. And what is the signal that this complete plan of God is finished? Revelation 21:1-2. And what happens on that day? Revelation 21:3-4. If there is no more death, then has death itself been destroyed before this point? Revelation 20:14. What will the Devil be doing in the meanwhile? Isaiah 14:15-17. The Devil lives on, witnessing God repairing all the damage he caused, until the very end of this plan of God. But there comes a time when there is no more place found for him in the universe; so when Jesus goes through and “puts down all authority and rule and power”, when the plan is finally ALMOST done, Satan is destroyed.
He is cast in the lake of fire and “the smoke of his torment” ascends up until the end of the age of the ages! Until the plan of God is COMPLETELY FINISHED, and all the individual ages within it are concluded, THEN the Devil is finally destroyed, turned to “ashes under the feet of the righteous”, and “never shall be any more”. God is merciful. Even to his greatest enemy. And no loving God could stand to have a vicious, evil monster tortured and writhing in pain one second longer than absolutely necessary for the good of others. When Satan has served his purpose and spit in God’s face for the last time, God will do the only act that love for all beings, including Satan, will permit; God will kill him. So that he can no longer bring unhappiness to himself and others.
KING OF BABYLON
Now that we have addressed that, it’s time to study the other main devil-chapter in the Bible; Isaiah 14:4. The subject here is the king of Babylon. Who lives in Babylon? Revelation 18:1-2. What was named Babylon? Revelation 17:4-5. What was this woman called? Verses 1-3. So this whore was called Babylon; and where did she and the beast get their power? Revelation 13:4. So the dragon – Satan, of course – can only be the angelic ruler of Babylon. Back in Isaiah 14:5-8, you see this “king of Babylon” is described as “He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger”. Isaiah 14:9-10 speak of the reactions when his former servants, also punished by God, are saying to him “have you also become as weak as we?” In Isaiah 14:11 you see that his pomp is brought down to the grave.
This is the first indication of his ultimate fate. A grave is where you put dead people. Up until now, these verses could have applied to any evil person; most commentators focus on that, and tell you these verses have nothing to do with the Devil. But in Isaiah 14:12-14, God briefly digresses to talk about his former glory, and shows this cannot possibly refer to any human. For example, in verse 12; how many men have been in heaven? John 3:13. So who goes back and forth to heaven? Genesis 28:12. Then in Isaiah 14:13-14, which man could have said “I will ascend into heaven”? What do stars represent in the Bible again? Revelation 1:20. What mere man could have hoped to put his throne above the angels of God?
So Lucifer wanted to be far above all the other stars, equal with the Most High. He wanted to sit “on the mount of the congregation”, which must refer to the promise God gave to us: Revelation 3:21. But notice clearly that Lucifer said nothing about REPLACING God on His throne in Isaiah 14! It does NOT say that Lucifer desired to be ABOVE the Most High! It does not say he wanted to kick God off of His throne! In fact, there is not a single recorded instance of Satan battling with Jesus or the Father in the entire Bible!
Satan argued with God in Job 1-2; Satan tried to deceive Jesus in Matthew 4; but he only fought against other angels! (Revelation 12:7, Jude 1:9, Daniel 10:13). This is because he desired to be ABOVE all other angels, but only to be LIKE the Most High! He wanted God to treat him as an EQUAL! Satan desired to form a trinity with God and Jesus, so in all of his religions this trinity is his most cherished doctrine! He believes himself to be the “Holy Spirit” and worthy of a place in the Godhead.
This gives us a large clue as to why he fell, which we’ll get to a little later. Meanwhile, back in Isaiah 14:15, God says he will be “brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”. What pit will Satan be cast into? Revelation 20:1-3. And what will happen to him while he is in there? Isaiah 14:16-17. Just as Ezekiel said, it is necessary that all mankind has an opportunity to see this creature before his destruction. God does nothing behind closed doors. He fears no scrutiny on His judgments. You will have a chance to see the Devil, hear his side of the story, see if you could have handled him differently, and finally come to see why God has to deal with him as He will, before God destroys him for the good of all.
Still, some use Isaiah 14:18-20 to say that because God said, “Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial”, that Satan won’t be killed; but that isn’t what it says at all. The “them” of verse 20 refers to verse 18 where it says “the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie IN GLORY”; Satan will not lie in glory, like they did when they died, but will be “cast out, away from your sepulchre … like a DEAD BODY trodden under foot” (RSV). But in all of those statements, the point is clear: DEATH must come for this greatest of sinners.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
In Isaiah 14:12, most Bibles render Satan’s name “Lucifer”, a Latin name meaning “light-bearer”. The Hebrew uses a different name – Hillel – with a more or less similar meaning. God created Lucifer to bring light – truth – to the world, as the chief angel, the “anointed ONE” who was to help build the family of God. But the Devil was TOO perfect; TOO beautiful. God gave him perfect wisdom, knowledge, and beauty… but that wasn’t enough. He needed something God couldn’t give him or anyone else – perfect character. God cannot spontaneously create perfect character.
The only way it can be created is the way He is creating it in you – by allowing you to sin, correcting you, and having you CHOOSE to do right. Otherwise, it isn’t character – it’s programming. God made Lucifer and gave him free will, and eventually he sinned and became Satan – Hebrew for “the Adversary”. Ezekiel 28:13-15 states clearly that God created him… but God did not create Satan. God created Lucifer, who exercised his free will to become Satan – when he rejected the rule of God, he became the adversary of God, Satan, much as Adam and Eve did. It is no sin to make a knife. The knife can have many essential uses in society. To cut meat, to kill snakes, to chop vegetables; the fact it can also be used for murder doesn’t make it a sin to be a knife!
The knife has POTENTIAL for evil, but it is not evil! Nor did the manufacturer sin by making it! It is only evil if it CHOOSES to do evil, which of course a knife can’t do – and equally of course, we and angels can. Lucifer was “full of wisdom”, and very powerful; thus, he had a great potential for evil. He also had great potential for good. It was up to him to choose how to use his gifts. He chose evil. This does not mean God created a devil, but God did create Lucifer. God had a plan from the beginning. As the “cherub which covereth” the throne of God, Lucifer no doubt was privy to many of the details of this plan. At first, it sounded great. God was going to reproduce after His kind – was going to create beings in His image, and after His likeness!
But Satan didn’t feel his part in that plan was worthy of his abilities, and after a time was corrupted by his own pride. So God cast him out of heaven, leaving him on the Earth until the judgment at the return of Christ. After that, he will be held in captivity in a bottomless pit so all those whom he has deceived can come and stare at him in astonishment and say “HE caused all this suffering??” – and “I trusted HIM??” Except for the release at the end of the week (Revelation 20:3), he will be kept that way “until the end of the age of the ages”.
God is working out a plan with many steps. In the beginning, God created angels – then, in due time, the universe – then mankind, and this current society – and, yet in the future, the resurrection of the saints of God. After that, there will be an age to give all of the people who have lived, suffered, and died on this earth their CHANCE AT SALVATION. And finally, when all of these AGES are completed, at the end of the AGE OF THE AGES talked about in Revelation, Satan will be destroyed for good!
To wrap up this lesson, read 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. This scripture is talking about a glorious day in the future when ALL enemies are destroyed – this MUST include Satan, the FIRST enemy! Even DEATH ITSELF IS GONE! And Christ will reign UNTIL THAT TIME – then, and ONLY THEN, He will deliver the Kingdom to His Father – when the plan, the job Christ set out to do in this age is FINALLY COMPLETED – and all the suffering, heartache, death, pain, and tears are FINALLY BANISHED FROM THE UNIVERSE, along with the being who started them all… Satan the Devil!
