For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
(ESV)
18“Hear then the parable of the sower:
19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
22As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
23As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
The Hebrew word for angel is mal’ak, which means messenger. Angels are more powerful than people. The Bible tells us that there are countless numbers of angels ().

(ESV)
11Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
and movies suggest. Angels are separate creatures from people. The Bible tells us that there are countless numbers of angels (). The angels served and obeyed God, and gave Him the worship He deserved (, ). There are different types of angels, and they serve God in different ways. Angels are spirits, but at times they can be seen and heard (, ). Like man, God created angels with a mind, emotions, and a will; they are free to choose what they want to do (, ).
Like man, God created angels with a mind, emotions, and a will; they are free to choose what they want to do
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,
(ESV)
11Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me:
12“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: “You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared.
14You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you.
16In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you.
18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you.
19All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.”
. Like man, God created angels with a mind, emotions, and a will; they are free to choose what they want to do (, ).
You said in your heart,
‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
, ).
(ESV)
7Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,
, ).
8but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
9And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
One of the angels was named Lucifer. Lucifer means light-bearer, shining one, or morning star.
“You were the model of perfection. You were full of wisdom. You were perfect and beautiful.” -
God had given Lucifer an important job:
“I appointed you to be like a guardian cherub. I anointed you for that purpose. You were on My holy mountain. You walked among the gleaming jewels. Your conduct was without blame from the day you were created.” -
The Bible tells us that Lucifer was a beautiful, smart, flawless creation of God.
Who is he?
Who is he?
The Deceiver at the fall
(ESV)
1Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
The Father of Lies
(ESV)
44You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
What does he do?
ESV
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
(ESV)
1And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
(ESV)
4Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
6No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.
7Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
8Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
9No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
8. Hinders the gospel.
1. Sinned against God.
1. Sinned against God.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
.
2. Cast out of heaven.
And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
3. Cast down to hell.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;
; .
And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—
4. The author of the fall.
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
, ,
, , ,
5. Tempted Christ.
And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,
“ ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“ ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“ ‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.’ ”
6. Perverts the Scripture.
and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“ ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
; , .
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
, .
.
7. Opposes God’s work.
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
; .
because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.
.
8. Hinders the gospel.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
; .
.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
9. Works lying wonders. ; .
(ESV)
22So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
23Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
24And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
25correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
26and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
; .
For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
.
10. Assumes the form of an angel of light.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
.
11. The wicked
a. Are the children of.
The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
; ; .
and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
; .
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
.
b. Turn aside after.
For some have already strayed after Satan.
.
c. Do the lusts of.
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
.
d. Possessed by.
Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
; ; .
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
; .
in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
.
e. Blinded by.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
.
f. Deceived by.
Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’
, ; , .
Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’ And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’
1 kings 22:21-22; , .
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
.
g. Ensnared by.
Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
; .
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
.
h. Troubled by.
Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.
.
i. Punished, together with.
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
12. Saints
a. Afflicted by, only as God permits.
And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
; .
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
.
b. Tempted by.
Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel.
; .
For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.
.
c. Sifted by.
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
.
d. Should resist.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
; .
Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
.
e. Should be armed against.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
.
f. Should be watchful against.
(ESV)
5Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.
6For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,
7so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
8So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
9For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
.
10Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,
11so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
g. Overcome.
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children,
because you know the Father.
; , .
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
, .
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
13. Triumph over, by Christ
a. Predicted.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
.
b. In resisting his temptations.
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
.
c. In casting out the spirits of.
But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
; .
And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.
.
d. In empowering his disciples to cast out.
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.
; .
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
.
e. In destroying the works of.
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
.
f. Completed by his death.
He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
; .
Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.
.
14. Character of
a. Presumptuous.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
; , .
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“ ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
, .
b. Proud.
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
.
c. Powerful.
in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
; .
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
.
d. Wicked.
I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children,
because you know the Father.
.
e. Malignant.
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason?
; .
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.
.
f. Subtle.
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
