Bible Answer: Isaiah: 14:12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 14:13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14:14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' 14:15 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit. 14:16 "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, 14:17 Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?' 14:18 "All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb. 14:19 "But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse. 14:20 "You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever. 14:21 "Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities." 14:22 "I will rise up against them," declares the LORD of hosts, "and will cut off from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and posterity," declares the LORD. 14:23 "I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," declares the LORD of hosts. Also Ezekiel 28:12-19 No Satan can not enter a Christian. For the Holy Spirit dwells in a Christian. His power is mainly deception that is the power you must look out for. Genesis 3 He blinds the mind of the world (2 Cor. 4:3,4) He can perform lying wonders (2 Thess 2:9) He is the prince of this world (John 12:31,14:30,16:11) He is the prince of the power of the air. (Eph 2:2) We are told to resist the Devil and he must flee (James 4:7) We are not told in Scripture to rebuke Satan but to resist. Also my opinion he cannot read your mind He knows your thoughts by your actions. In Christ, Darcy |
