The name ‘devil’ is not found in the OT.
Instead, Satan, is used.
This name means ‘accuser’.
Job
Was Satan an angel of light?
This is thought of because of two OT portions of Scripture.
In a purely historical rading, the reference is to the wicked kings of Babylon and Tyre.
However, the hyperbolic language seems to describe something more than human.
Ezek.
The Devil in the NT:
In the New Testament, Matthew uses the name Devil the most frequently, while Mark does not use the term at all.
Other names of Satan include:
• the evil one (Matt 5:37)
• dragon (Rev 12:3)
• serpent (2 Cor 11:3)
• tempter (Matt 4:3)
• Belial (2 Cor 6:15)
• ruler/prince of this age (John 12:31; Eph 2:2)
In the New Testament, the Devil’s main objective is to thwart the sovereign plan of God (Matt 4:1–11; 16:21–23) and to destroy God’s people (Luke 22:31–32; Eph 6:10–12; 1 Pet 5:8; Rev 12:10).
The Devil is characterized as:
• ruling over a kingdom (Matt 12:24; Luke 11:18; Eph 2:2; Col 1:13).
• blinding the minds of unbelievers (2 Cor 4:4).
• having the power over death (Heb 2:14).
• having the entire world lying in his lap (1 John 5:19).
• being crush under God’s feet (Rom 16:20).
SIN IS THE POWER OF DEATH.
OECUMENIUS: And how does he rule over death?
Since he rules over sin from which death has its power, he also rules over death.
Sin, at any rate, is the power of death.
Then having a sacrifice for sin and being the agent of the sacrifice, he has the power over death.…
Through his own death he rendered sin ineffective and held the devil under his power, who is the strength and power of death.
For if sin had not had power over humankind, death would not have entered the world.

The Devil Defined: Where was his start?
What does his name mean?
Genesis 3
In the garden… the ‘serpent’ shows up.
Serpent comes in not to set himself against God, but to drop seeds of questioning the character and integrity of God in the minds of Adam and Eve.
“Did God really say...”
From the very start his goal is to tear away at the integrity and character of God.
Then, we read
1 Cor.
1 Corinthians 5:22
The Devil Dissected: How does he work?
What is his modus operand i?
The Devil Destroyed: The devil’s time is short and Christ defeated him on the cross.
