Who is Satan? What are the legends about him?
Satan, the fallen angel in the Bible, is fallen angels who rebelled against the Lord. He used to be Seraphim before the throne of God, responsible for placing temptations on earth. Later, he degenerated into a devil and was regarded as the source of evil and darkness, not the power of light. The traditional satanism regards Satan as the greatest god in the universe. Satan is not only a god, but also a nature and energy. He's everything. The original meaning of Hebrew is "opponent", which has been mentioned in some religious classics. Another view is that Satan is Lucifer of fallen angels. The description of Satan in the Old Testament goes like this: "Son of man, you lament for the king of Tyre, saying that the Lord GOD says: You are all ready, full of wisdom and completely beautiful. In the Garden of Eden, you wear all kinds of precious stones, namely ruby, tourmaline, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald, ruby and gold. Fine drums and flutes are with you, all of which were prepared on the day you were created. You are the cherubim anointed to cover the ark; I put you on the holy mountain of God; You are a jewel shining like fire. From the day you were created, all your ways were perfect, and then injustice was found in you. Because you traded a lot, you were full of violence and sin, so I expelled you from God's mountain because you desecrated the holy land. I have destroyed you, O cherubim who covered the ark, from the burning stone. Your heart is proud of your beauty, and your wisdom is corrupted by your glory. I threw you to the ground and made you fall before the king, so that they could see and see. Because of your many sins and unfair trade, you desecrated your sanctuary. Therefore, in front of all those who watch [edit this paragraph] the basic concept of Satan, I make fire come out of you, burn you and turn you into ashes on the ground. Before we know Satan, we must first establish several basic concepts: (1) Satan, which means enemy, poisonous shining messenger and so on in Xibo's writing. (2) The name "Satan" has its name in the Tana Sutra and the Old Testament of Judaism, but it has become a code name in the New Testament. (3) The word "Satan" means "guilty" and is a noun concretized by adjectives. One said: Only Tanel (Samael, also known as Samael, maybe Satan Leaf) gave up the title of nail. See the nouns formed by angels for details. Similarly, Lucifer named after Phil's title (or title) was also abandoned. But finil is a little older than nail. Satan is a popular misunderstanding, which deliberately misleads Christianity. Its original image in Tana Sutra is closer to an angel who tests human belief. He was ordered by God to bring disaster and temptation to the world. The devil leading to hell bewitches human beings to commit crimes and brings criminals to hell. He also has the dual image of "seducer" and "informer", and is not only responsible for seducing people with unstable beliefs. At the end of the world, they will report human crimes to God. But after the rise of Christianity, his image began to be replaced by Lucifer, and the behavior that originally belonged to him also became Lucifer's behavior. The name "Satan" has also changed from Satan himself to a code name. [Edit this paragraph] The origin and development of Satan From the similarity of early myths around the world, almost all the demons and fallen angels depicted in the Bible are directly inherited from other earlier myth systems, or used after being demonized. For example, in the Bible system, Beelzebub, the king of hell, and Baal, the Lord God Solomon 72, two famous demons, were transformed after the death of Baal, the enemy of the only God. The study of Satan's pronunciation of Satan shows that its pronunciation is very similar to the evil god "Seth" in Egyptian mythology. In Egyptian mythology, Seth was not an evil god at first, but was demonized as an evil god after the unification of upper and lower Egypt. After being vilified, Seth's image is a black dragon with terrible evil power. He killed Osiris, the father of the Lord God Horus. Eventually defeated by the grown-up Horus. As can be seen from the Old Testament, Jews originally originated in Egypt. When the Jews fled the slavery of the Egyptians, Egypt was not yet unified. According to the traditional custom that Jews like to vilify the gods of other religions, Seth, who was not evil at that time, is likely to be absorbed into the Jewish system and become the messenger of God to test human beliefs. The Ancient Snake in the Garden of Eden (Cologne) At the same time, the image of Satan in the Tana Sutra is an ancient snake (Cologne), but before the Roman church wrote the New Testament, the image of Satan was not a demon. Satan in Job in the Old Testament, far from being an enemy of God, made a bet with God to test Job's confidence in God. Satan is also burdened with the crime of spying on mankind, and in the final judgment of the end of the world, he will report the crimes of mankind. Therefore, Satan has the image of "seducer" and "informer" at the same time, seducing mankind (such as seducing Adam and Eve to eat forbidden fruit and seducing Job), and also seducing mankind to commit crimes as the king of the devil. All this can be regarded as a test of human faith with the acquiescence of God. (Christianity) Satan is regarded as a great god, and darkness is only the giver. In the Garden of Eden, Satan lured Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom, which was regarded as giving knowledge. Satan has endowed mankind with knowledge, enabled mankind to have thinking ability, understood right and wrong, good and evil, and made mankind know the world in real life. After the rise of Christianity, Satan has become an out-and-out demon. He is not only free to do evil, but also unscrupulous. At the end of the world, he will be defeated by the Lord through Adam's body and then thrown into eternal hell. Judging from the habits of Christianity, most of the gods (God is Jewish), angels (partly from Judaism) and demons (demonizing other religions) recorded in Christianity are inherited from other religions. Then, Satan, as the king of demons, is probably the evil god Seth in Egypt. As for the relationship between Satan and Lucifer, Satan is an ancient snake and Lucifer is a star. There is no direct relationship between them. Compared with the ugliness of Satan in the Bible, the ugliness of Lucifer is more prominent. Its original image is probably the blazing angel Metatron in Judaism. With 36 wings on his back, he has a series of titles such as "Angel of Creation", "King of the Heavenly Army", "Little Lord", "Contract Angel" and "Creator of Everything". However, due to its high status, it will directly affect the status of Christ Jesus, the founder of Christianity. Therefore, there is no record of his identity in the Christian Bible. Instead, it was the fall of Lucifer, which was similar in position to Lucifer, meaning the fall of Metatron. Later Christian scholars mostly lacked the study of Judaism, so a series of misconceptions such as "Satan is just a title" and "Satan is Lucifer" appeared, all of which were the result of unreasonable uglification of other religious gods by Christianity. Moreover, the Christian doctrine itself is full of contradictions. There are numerous contradictions and great differences among the four versions of the New Testament Gospel (Matthew, Kyle, Luke and John). Even after the revision of the Roman church, its versions are still difficult to unify. This is why the definition of Satan is ambiguous. In the Christian New Testament, Satan was initially driven out of the Garden of Eden by YHVH (the snake that lured Eve to eat the forbidden fruit). This is fundamentally different from the image of Satan in the Jewish Tana Sutra. Satan's original definition in the original Judaism of Judaism (Judaism, Orthodox Christianity, Protestantism and all other religious factions with YHVH as the main god) is "adversary". But this "enemy" refers to the enemy of mankind, not the enemy of YHVH. In Judaism, Satan has gradually become the enemy of God and the enemy of mankind from the slave of God, which is basically similar to Seth in upper Egyptian mythology (from a good god to an evil god). But after Christianity, the ignorance of Judaism by Christian scholars not only distorted the concept of Satan, but also created the concept of "Lucifer" which is very similar to Satan. The definition of Satan by later Christian factions is ambiguous. The image of Satan is constantly changing in this process. From the "ancient snake" which originated from the Egyptian evil god Seth (black dragon model) to the "degenerate angel" in the Jewish concept, there is no difference between the "devil" and "degenerate angel" in the later Christian concept. Until later, it coincided with the story of Lucifer, and even was replaced by Lucifer and became a title. Later Christians and Christian scholars, due to the conflict of beliefs, did not accept other religious classics earlier than the Christian Bible and ignored the concepts in them. Look at the mythical figures and stories in Semitism from the perspective of Christianity. So there have been numerous conceptual conflicts and even low-level mistakes, such as Milton's Paradise Lost. Most of these concepts are not taken from Semitic books, but only from the New Testament and his personal imagination. However, the image of Lucifer in Paradise Lost is accepted by most people and conceals the original image of Satan, which has become an important reference for the study of evil. According to the New Testament and later Christian documents, there are four candidates who are generally called Satan: 1. "Morning Star" Lucifer II. The Ancient Snake (Samael) 3. Six kings of hell 4. Leaves of Satan.
