NASB | Genesis 7:23 Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 7:23 God destroyed (blotted out, wiped away) every living thing that was on the surface of the earth; man and animals and the crawling things and the birds of the heavens were destroyed from the land. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive. [Matt 24:37-44] |
Subject: how did satan survive the flood? |
Bible Note: Hi 29602004, First to recall is, angels, fallen or otherwise, are not omnipresent. You wrote: "that means satan cannot cross the boundries that god set from the thrid heaven which lets me know this is how he survived the flood.he is limited from earth to the thrid heaven" If he were bound to the third heaven, then how did he possess the serpent and appear to Eve? If he were bound to the third heaven, he could not have tempted Christ in the wilderness. And, when God asked him where he had been, he said, (Job 2:2) "...From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." How did he touch Job? (Job 2:7) "So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown." So, upon leaving the "presence of the Lord", he came to earth and touched Job. The devil being here, on Earth: Joh 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. I don't see any indication that Satan is bound to the third heaven. It is agreed that he and his do fear the Lord, (Mat 8:29) "And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?". Interesting to note that the demons requested the swine, the dirty detestable creature, and, at the time, forbidden to eat. Kinda tells us the nature of these creatures, doesn't it? (rhetorical). So, to answer your question directly, "how did satan survive the flood", Scripture does not say, directly. And lastly: You are absolutely correct, Jesus is our well spring of Living Water. terrib Maybe you would like to fill-in your profile. It is always interesting to know about other brothers and sisters and some of their experiences. |
