the Tempter     Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Son of the Morning, the Devil has many names. The Devil is a stiff and mysterious being. Who is Satan? Who believes in him? Where did he come from? There ar many questions that I had about Satan at the beginning of this report.     Where did Satan come from?

As Ezekiel 2812 tells us, Satan was perfect when he was created. The Bible besides tells us that humanity was created a little lower than the angels.

Its simple to see why Sa... ... where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They provide be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Rev 2010)     Eternal fire beyond the grave was prepared for "the gravel and his angels".
