Yes, there is a devil

Many people believe in God but not in the Devil. This begs the question – where does evil come from?

The Devil was once an Arch Angel. His name was Lucifer and he was the Covering Angel. The Bible tells us he was beautiful. Unfortunately, he decided he should be God. He rose in revolt against God and a third of the angels of Heaven joined him. Of course, the created being cannot defeat the Creator. He was overcome and made it his purpose to destroy anything God loves.

He started his work in the Garden of Eden. God made man special. He formed him from the dust of the Earth and blew into his nostrils and man became a living soul. The Devil saw his chance to hurt God. He seduced man and sin entered the world.

The Devil is the father of all lies according to the Bible. He started his lies to man in the Garden. He has been lying to man ever since.

The Devils’ goal is to corrupt mankind and see to it man is destroyed. The Devil knows God loves man and he wants to destroy anything God loves. This is the reason we see a world that is in such turmoil. The Earth is in a spiritual battle.

A time will come when Satan will be let loose on the Earth. Mankind will experience a time so terrible that the Bible says if God didn’t shorten the time no one would survive. We will discuss this in the future.
