2 | how did satan survive the flood? | Gen 7:23 | Aixen7z4 | 147822 | ||
Hello. It has been stated already that Satan is a spirit and as such he is not affected by physical things such as water, even in a flood. I do not know how he is affected by fire either, except that he will be in it, and he will be tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:10). In Genesis 1:2 it says that the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the waters. I wonder if Satan would not have done a similar thing in Genesis 7:19. He does tend to mimic God, and he is like God in this one aspect, that he is a spirit. But the word of God does not talk about Satan during the flood. It seems to me that there are many times when the Spirit of God might have talked about Satan and he does not. For example, we are not told in Genesis that Cain was a follower or son of Satan, although he was (1 John 3:12). Indeed, after Genesis 3, and except for the beginning of the book of Job, Satan is hardly mentioned in the Old Testament. In the New Testament he is only mentioned here and there, as if to remind us that he is around. He is, but the focus is not on him. This piece is not intended to raise other issues, but simply to say that the word of God seems to give much less attention to Satan and more to the one to whom he is arch-rival, the Lord Jesus Christ. It does not tell us where Satan was during the flood, or what he was doing. It does tell us, though, that God was with Noah and in the business of saving him and those who had faith to enter the ark. I wonder if, when we are in heaven, if we will wonder where Satan is. I think our focus will be on Jesus, and we will always know where he is. The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. And they shall see his face. Amen. |
