Bible Question: Where did Satan come from? |
Bible Answer: Satan came from God...on the first day, God created the heavens (including angles...) and he first created Lucifer (later named Satan). Just imagine him as Gods right hand man...God created him to be very beautiful and knowledgeable. Later, God created earth, and then came Adam and then Eve. Lucifer was then assigned to be on Earth with them both. Adam and Eve were told to comand all the beasts on Earth. Lucifer thought this to be unfair and he grew very jealous. Why should these humans have such a great gift and and we angles are very powerful...we should get Earth! he thought. He then started speaking to all of the other angles and tried to form his own type of malitia (1/3 of heavens population...). While he was on earth with Adam and Eve, he walked over to Eve and whispered to her and said "The only reason God doesnt want you to eat of the tree is because it will open your eyes and give you wisdom like his!" His plan behind this, was to make God realize that humans didnt deserve such a gift as Earth because they couldnt obey him. This backfired on him as you will see later... This sounded very good to Eve of course and she disobeyed God and ate of the tree and went to Adam and talked him into it too. Satan didnt exactly lie to them...but twisted the truth so it would sound good to them. He said it would open their eyes and give them wisdom, which it did! They realized they were naked and it embarrassed them. Which by eating of the fruit, it also took away their innocence...making it possible for them to sin. God came walking through the garden one day and adam and ever were hiding from him in shame and they were kicked out of the garden. Satan was then cast down from heaven to stay on Earth (along with is malitia of 1/3 of heaven...). He was then named Behesabul (which literally means, "Lord of the Flies").
