Subject: Is Satan Jesus' brother? Gen 3:15 |
Bible Note: Hi Thecurtman, You wrote Satan is not Jesus' brother. Gen. 3:15 is a reference between Jesus and satan, but nothing within this verse is relating them two as brothers. I'm writing: You offer well thought out comments in the following. I have to differ on your comment of Elohim being a “name” per se because it not only as you yourself show refers to different ones but Ps 83:18 tells what God’s one name is. So “elohim” is the Hebrew plural title of things or beings that are worshipped. A synonym would be “a mighty one” because of the way it is used in the Bible. You wrote: Elohim, which is one of God's many names, is also used for Idols-Exodus 34:17-"You shall make no molden gods for yourselves."(NKJV) It is used of Men-Psalms 82:6-I said, "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High". It is also used of Angels-Psalms 8:5- For You have made him a little lower than the angels. (FYI: The word angels in this verse was translated from the Heb. word Elohim) Is Satan an Angel?? Yes, he started out as one of God's Mightest Angels high on the Chain-of-Command. He became fat headded, egotistical, prideful. Lost his position, I guess you could say he was 'terminated'. Took a third of the angels of heaven with him. Check out Isa. 12:9-15 and Rev. 12:7-17. I’m writing now, notice you say that Satan was ‘terminated’. If you mean what the word means (killed) then no, he is still very much alive today. Also if you do a little research you will find for accuracy sake that Lucifer is not in the Bible referring to Satan so that he has two names. You see, Satan filled the king of Babylon with the ambition to have complete domination over the earth, even over “Jehovah’s throne” (1Ch 29:23) and “the stars of God,” the kings of the line of David sitting on the throne at Mount Moriah. This “king,” that is, the dynasty of Babylon, ‘lifted himself up’ in his own heart and was in his own eyes and in the eyes of his admirers a “shining one,” a “son of the dawn.” (In some translations the Latin Vulgate term “Lucifer” is retained. It is, however, merely the translation of the Hebrew word heh·lel´, “shining one.” Heh·lel´ is not a name or a title but, rather, a term describing the boastful position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings of the line of Nebuchadnezzar.) (Isa 14:4-21) Since Babylon was a tool of Satan, its “king” did though reflect Satan’s own ambitious desire. You wrote. And as far as Lucifer's orgin, check out Col. 1:15-18. Yes, Col 1:15-18 does describe the origin of Satan before he made himself Satan. You are right on in many of your comments here, thanks. Tara1 |
