1 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | KBurgee | 703 | ||
This is more of a combination of a note and question that may or may not directly belong here. Quick bio of Lucifer (Satan) for those that don't know: Satan was one of the angels in heaven (and in charge of worship and music (this is a different topic for another time)) before he was struck down by God to earth for his attempts to usurp the praise that God so richly deserved (and deserves). Satan was able to bring down a third of the angels with him, convincing them to praise him and not God. Knowing this, Satan desires to have himself exaulted, and therefore hates anything that loves God. God made man to have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:26) and it is known that God also created man to praise Him (I'm not sure where this is....please, someone remind me?). Satan would much rather us be destroyed (remember, we were created in God's image (Gen 1:27), and Satan hates God) than to praise the Lord, and the way to destroy us is to separate us from God's love and grace through sin and evil. Know that as long as we are for God and follow His word, then He (and we) will prevail. It won't be easy, and our trials are designed to test our faith (1 Peter 1:7), but He has promised that we will prevail. |

Where can I get scripture that says satan was in charge of worship and music? | ||||||

Greetings shy! Isaiah 14:12-15 is thought to be describing the fall of Satan (as well as Ezekiel 28:12-19), and Isaiah 14:11 states, "Your pomp and the music of your harps have been brought down to Sheol; maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you and worms are your covering." I believe that Isaiah 14:11 is the "source" for the belief that Satan was in charge of worship and music. However, that 'position' of Satan is not explicitly stated as such in Scripture, even though Ezekiel 28:12-19 describes Satan as the 'guardian cherub' to the Throne of God. Blessings to you, Nolan |
