LockNorth, With regards to the beginning of your post, it would help tremendously if you provided verses. For example, neither satan nor Jesus is an actual lion. At times, they are portrayed as such as a metephor for the purpose of showing something about them in -that particular context-. So without the context, we can't tell you what that passage is trying to say. With regards to why preachers would portray Satan as actively seeking to tempt the saints: I would just point you to biblical authority. 1Pe 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I would ask you why the preachers you are listening to preach contrary to this? Christ has already sealed Satan's defeat, but Satan is not yet ultimately done away with. Revelation 20 depicts his final defeat. As an Amillenialist I do believe that Satan is currently greatly restrained in his deceiving of the nations, though he is still hard at work. In Christ, Beja |
