(Prelude) The Devil: Reality or Myth?

    If Satan were promoting any particular doctrine I feel that it would be the one that’s most helpful in making seem invisible. If demons were to directly possess a person I think that the first thing they’d focus on would be convincing the ill-fated host that they didn’t exist so that they could continue to “feed.” Right now there are numerous ‘no devil doctrines’ floating around in Christianity and literally hundreds of books and series have been released to well-meaning Christians all claiming to disprove the existence of Satan – this book will prove this train of thought is thoroughly Satanic in origin.

    In this unique volume we will be examining the various methods and procedures used by those who dismiss the adversary as mere human ‘flesh’ or man’s own sin nature. False prophets who teach against the clear-cut teachings of scripture seemingly all have similar tactics and their antinomian dogmas will also be addressed within these pages and hopefully in the process of reading the student will obtain the necessary scripture passages required to fight the same battle. Not only will this book take a deeper look at Satan using the Bible and a variety of additional sources but it also proves our adversary has physical children on earth who seemingly work nonstop against genuine Christians and helps to expose many of their devices.

    In scripture, Satan is considered a perfect man because the works of the flesh are contrary to Yahweh and His eternal Law. Many times he is found represented by man’s contradictory government and overlaid within the works and descriptions of Pharaoh, the Assyrian, the king of Tyrus and the king of Babylon. Revelation 13:18 (amp); “Here is [room for] discernment [a call for the wisdom of interpretation]. Let anyone who has intelligence (penetration and insight enough) calculate the number of the beast, for it is a human number [the number of a certain man]; his number is 666.” Satan’s own number is that of a man and his influence can be seen in man’s government when it is contradictory to God’s Law. Many Christians attempt to dismiss several verses of the Bible dealing with Satan by saying this is simply considered ‘sin nature.’

    Satan as an earthly deity is also represented as Beelzebub who is considered the “chief prince” of demons (Luke 11:15). When the Pharisee separatists and scribes saw the healing works of Jesus they falsely accused Him by saying things like “This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils (Matthew 12:24)” or “He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils (Mark 3:22).” In the Exhaustive Strong’s Concordance the name Beelzebub as found in the New Testament scriptures means “dung god” (#G954) and it’s a disrespectful parody against this false idol of the Philistines that really means “Lord of the Fly (#H1176).” The practices of “flying” or “flight” are attributed characteristics of Satan himself (Ephesians 2:2) and the “fly away doctrine” could probably be considered his most powerful deception because the Bible clearly teaches that the Son of Perdition comes before Christ deceiving many (II Thessalonians 2:3).

    For example, when wicked king Ahaziah “fell down through a lattice” and hurt himself (II Kings 1:2), he erroneously chose to send messengers to enquire about his chances of recovery to Baal-zebub, the false god of Ekron. Worshipping other “gods” is a severe violation of God’s Law so an angel of Yahweh intervenes and tells Elijah the Tishbite to deliver a Judgment from God to Ahaziah by asking “Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?” and decreeing “Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die (II Kings 1:16).” After losing many men in the process king Ahaziah “died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken” being replaced by Jehoram.

    Satanel is also referred to as “that old serpent (Revelation 12:9, 20:2)” and being cast from the heavens by Yahweh he was in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1, Ezekiel 28:13) to seduce Eve (II Corinthians 11:3) creating his own wicked seedline through Cain in the process (I John 3:12). Also, in Job 26:13 it says; “By his [God’s] spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent” proving that God’s Will is done in all things. We’re also told; “The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear (Psalm 58:3-4 amp).”

    This book will dispel many of the "no-devil" false doctrines that currently exist in Christian Identity if approached with an open mind and prayerfully. Ask Yahweh God to lead you into the truth regarding His heavenly host and study along in your own Bible (to show yourself approved). With that groundwork being laid, let's now examine some of the strategies and tactics of fallen Satan-el.
