Q&A Home > S > Satan

How can we be sure that the devil rebelled in the first place? I have come to the conclusion that Ezekiel 28 speaks about the king of Tyre and Isaiah 14 speaks about the Babylonian king.

This leaves us the question about Lucifer. I believe he is the devil, but this is not referring to his story—correct or not? Couldn't Isaiah 14 be referring to a spirit possessing the king of Babylon and causing him to exalt himself above the heavenly throne? I'm confused.

The Holy Book of Job in the Old Testament and the temptation of our Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament best reveal Satan through his own words. His confrontation of God and Jesus Christ and his antagonistic warfare against humanity reveals his evil fallen nature. Satan's rebellion against God is further supported throughout the Holy Scripture where any mention of the devil is made.
