Satan

Satan (Hebrew: הַשָׂטָן, ha-Satan, the adversary) is in the Old Testament a general term for a variety of opponents such as the Prince of tyre (Ezekiel 28 and beyond) and the city of Babel (Isaiah 14: 14). WhenChristians and Muslims Satan is the name of a single personality, also referred to as the Devil or Lucifer and seen as a fallenAngel (Arch-), which by God was thrown out of the Sky when it revolted against God. He is the leader of rebellious fallen angels, which under his leadership have left God and is seen as the personification of the evil. [1]  according to Muslims he is no Angel but a Jinn.

Satan is according to traditional Christians, Jews and Muslims never equivalent to God and they reject the idea that there is a kind of battle is under way between a ' good ' power and an opposite ' power from evil ', which are equally strong. So according to them God has the last word.

' God and Satan ' painting by Corrado Gaines (Vatican Museums)A large part of the popular, well-known features of the devil are not Biblical, but consist of a mixture of old and new views. This difference between the Biblical Devil and the extra-biblical Devil usually falls in the ' benefit ' of the last variant out.

Interpretation
Medieval image of the devil, from the Codex GigasThe name Satan comes from Hebrew and means ' slanderer ', ' applicant ', ' separation adversary ' and sometimes ' Wanderer '. The Devil is also commonly used synonym of the Greek diábolos coming and has similar meanings.

Satan is linguistically considered so no name but a noun or a title. Chris toes and Muslims see Satan as a single personality, a rebellious spirit who is responsible for the corruption on Earth, but whose days are numbered.

Spelling
There is a difference of opinion as to how one should write the term ' satan '. It is thought to a synonym for the words ' opponent ' and ' enemy ' than is spelling with a small first letter for the hand; the Bible translations of the King James Bible, those of the Dutch Bible Society from 1951 and those of the 1995 Willibrord translation use this spelling.

One can see the term ' satan ' as a proper name than one will prefer a capital letter. The new Bible translation released in 2004 follows this line.

In Judaism
The concept of evil in Judaism differs radically from that in other faith traditions. There exists in the Jewish world vision is not a person in any form with the name ' Satan ', as in the Christianity is the case. In the Tanakh and the rabbinic literature are multiple references to ' Satan, ' but this is not a person, and be increasingly different characteristics and acts attributed to Satan.

Tora (Old Testament)
As described in the book Genesis, know the snake in the Garden of Eden to tempt Eve to eating a fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They in turn tempts Adam into eating the same fruit, so that both of them do something expressly forbidden by God. Specifies the fall of man ushered. This snake is generally identified as satan in Christianity. The fall of Satan would therefore have taken place before the fall.

In the book of Job is, HA-satan-one of the sons of God (Job 1: 6) and a subservient to God. He is authorized by God (Job 2: 6) to the Job, which was a very pious man, to bring off of his faith and trust in God (in Hebrew: YHWH). He gets permission from God to Job with all kinds of diseases, plagues and disasters for granting an injunction, to see if Job even in difficult conditions will continue to be faithful to God.

Some see the passage in 1 Samuel 16: 14 an indication that God satan would use to punish people: but was the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit, which the Lord came, chased him fear to.

Satan put to further harm behavior; so he would have to put on King David a census which was not to the will of God (1 Chronicles chapter 21).

Chapter 14 from the book of Isaiah is considered by Christians describe the fall of Satan; see: Lucifer.

New Testament
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It is Satan the great opponent of Jesus. So he tries during a confrontation in the desert, three times to tempt Jesus into sin, but Jesus gives its temptations on the basis of quotations from the Old Testament, firmly.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the Gospel of Matthew says Satan against Jesus that he can get all the kingdoms in the world and adds in the Gospel according to Lucas to it: ''I will to you all that power and the glory thereof, because it is given to me, and I give them to whom I want. When ye then worship me, so will they sincerely yours are.'' These claim of Satan not nor denies he power and property rights of Satan on the worldly glory. The first Epistle of John, confirms in 5: 19 that ' the world in evil is '. Some Christian groups believe can conclude that the current world leaders owe their power to Satan.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Moreover, the Gospel according to Lucas barrel the prophecy in Isaiah 14 is not on as a "description of what has ever happened" but (in accordance with the common conception of prophecy) as a prediction that in the work of (the pupils of) Jesus come true. As the pupils of their return first command says Jesus namely: "I see Satan fall like a Flash of light from the sky." (Lucas 10: 17-18)

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">According to the Bible, Jesus has overcome Satan by his sacrificial death for the sins of the people and his resurrection from the dead. He has taken away from Satan the power which he had obtained illegally by the human fall. People can overcome Satan and his demons by believing in and testify of this sacrifice of Jesus, and to live according to God's Word; as a result, one identified as a Christian. The epistle of James in the Bible States that if anyone is in Jesus ' name, this resistance against Satan will flee away.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The climax comes in the book of the book of revelation in which Satan through the antichrist Gets the whole earth temporarily under control and a worldwide persecution against all Christians and, ultimately, againstIsrael ( Jerusalemin particular) begins. However, his return Jesus will deal with Satan; This will be imprisoned in an abyss for a thousand years and then be released for some time. He will seize this opportunity to begin his final rebellion against God, which will pre-empt its final demise. Satan, his demons and all unjust people, will end up in eternal punishment as a sulfur-and Lake of fire.

Origin, intentions and work of Satan
The fall of Satan according to Gustave DoréThe duivelsnet, 1441<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">According to the traditional, Christian theology was originally one of the most powerful Archangel Satan (s) of God. However, he was jealous of God, wanted to equate to him, and disobeyed God (turned away from God). This was his fall in. Hereby he knew a third of God's angels to get at his side. This ' fallen angels ' leader elected to demons that Satan truly began to. According to several Bible passages was the main drive of Satan proud. It followed pride and jealousy on God. Satan wanted to take God's place and to receive divine honor and worship. His followers, fallen angels and humans, deeply desire the same. Behind many ' successful ' people in past and present, like dictators, false prophets and the well-heeled would Satan and his demonic angels, the authors of this ' success ' his edit.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The fall of Satan and his angels for the creation of man must have been already in the paradise in the form of the serpent which tempted Adam and Eve to the fall.Satan obtained with this fall of Adam, who was originally appointed by God as an administrator, management over the Earth and is therefore sometimes also, rightly, called the ' Prince of this world '. Since then there would be a fight going on between God and satan for mankind. Both trying to convince the man. God, to put it in the grace through Jesus into believing and thereby to do God's will. Satan, to seduce him to evil and aloof of God and the grace to love Jesus. Satan is only by God patience to the free will of his creatures to be guaranteed. Because he has a strong dislike of God Satan has also a serpent. He and his demons would also cause the ' evil ' in the world such as natural disasters but also violence and cause discord between people and ' stir up '. Also humiliating and torturing, physically and/or mentally, what people apply much alike would be much fueled by satan that this makes great contempt for the man show created by God.

666
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The number 666 is in the book of revelation as the number of the beast and therefore often linked to the devil, Satanism, evil, and so on. Some people assume that 666 is a code for the tyrant of that time, Emperor Nero. This would seem logical, since the writer, who was a Christian, and Nero persecute Christians left. It was recently in the book "Satan's song" suggested that a church in Islamic theology, father from the 2nd century, originally the number 616 saw in a Greek translation, and this changed in 666, because he thought it was a mistake. Among the Greeks was 777 to perfection and was the numerological value of the name Jesus 888. Then had the polar opposite of Jesus is at the bottom of perfection and the numerological value 666 have. That supported the idea of the devil in Islamic theology that the text that he saw had to be a mistake.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In Revelation 13: 18 says that the number of the beast "the number of a man" is. Possibly it has something to do with the day when man was created; the sixth day. It is also striking that of King Solomon said that he earned 666 talents of gold per year (1 Kings 10: 14).

Extrusion of Satan
Exorcism, Francisco de Goya<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">According to the Bible, people can become possessed by the devil or bound. The second case is worse because in this case, the devil, or one or more of his demons, actually in someone live. To get rid of this banished. This is only available when it takes place in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus Christ. TheRoman Catholic Church knows the exorcism or sacramentaliaexorcism as one of the, to a man possessed to expel the devil. For example, In other churches,Pentecostal churches is also for exorcism.

In islam
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the islam is satan known as Shaitan (or Sjejtan) and Iblis. According to the God's rebellious Satan when he had to bend for Adam . Thereupon he tempted Adam and Adams woman to commit the sin to swear by the right with them for it.

<p lang="en" len="220" style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In Sura the tilt 11-25 is told:


 * It is we who created you and gave you shape; When we said to the Angels: "bow down to Adam" and they prostrated themselves except Iblis; He did not belong to Iblis.(God) said: "What prevented you, submit, when I commanded you (that)?" He answered, "I am better than he. Thou hast created me from fire, and him from clay. (God) said: "remove you from here-it is not for you, here to be proud. Go forth, ye ought certainly to those who will be humiliated. " He said: "give me respite till the day when they will be resurrected." (God) said: "you're given." He replied, "well, I will surely let me wander there in the way of them sit on Your straight path." "Then will I assault them from before them and behind them and me of their right and their left: nor wilt thou find, most of them find not grateful." (God) said: "go, despised and rejected. Who of them will follow you, surely I will fill hell with you all. " "Oh, Adam, stay with your wife in the garden and eat what you want, but is approaching this tree is not, otherwise you'll to the wrong." But Satan whispered in their (before) that he would reveal to them their nakedness was hidden, and said: "your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever no." And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere Adviser. " So did he them fall by deceit. And when they tasted of the tree was their nudity their clear and they began to cover with leaves from the garden. And their Lord called them and said: "I Forbade that tree not and said I not unto you: ' Verily Satan is a clear enemy to you '?" They said: "our Lord, we have wronged ourselves and if Ye do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will not be sure until the injured parties belong. He said: "go forth, some of your enemies by others. And there is for you a place to stay on Earth and a provision for a certain time. "He said: "ye shall thereupon living and dying and ye shall therefore be excited."

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Satan is so in islam not seen as an opponent of God, but as a being created by God and, therefore, under God's control. The Koran says that good and evil are created by God. Iblis said namely: "you created me from fire." A Jinn is from Islamic point of view created from (smokeless) fire and Angels from light. After all, Muslims believe that angels are unable to disobedience towards God.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Duiveluitdrijvingen take place by, amongst others, the reciting of the Throne verse and the call to prayer.

Evil in other religions
<p lang="en" len="65" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The evil returns in several ancient religions back each time.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In many polytheistic religions, such as the Greek, Chinese, Roman and Norse pantheons, however, lacks a clear Supreme being of evil. Reason is that the gods often exhibit typical human traits and thereby all to some extent both good and bad. Both are ' evil ' if the good spread across multiple deities.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Of course in these religions monsters, demons and gods of questionable alloy such as Cerberus, Kali, Eris, the Erinyes, Yema, the Hell's, Loki, Hades and others, but these gods and demons play a (indispensable) function in the pantheon or represent a typical human trait, and can as such not be seen as (purely) malicious. On the other hand, exist especially in the Graeco-Roman mythology also very many examples of ' good ' gods who do bad things, such as Zeus, Hera going foreign again whose jealousy sometimes literally can be deadly, or Poseidon Odysseus ten years against which worked.

Zoroastrisme
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the Iranian mythology and the Zoroastrian inspired became the first woman Jeh supposed to be together with the devil Ahriman created. By sexual intercourse with this demon was tarnished, and the woman they tarnished thereby also the men. A story in the Bible inspired thereupon proclaimed by the supporters of the father God male (the Levites who agitated against the then fierce goddess cult with its own ritual use sex, such as the hieros gamos).

Aztec religion
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the Aztec religion is represented in the evil deity Tezcatlipoca.

Traditional Satanism
Azazel, 1825<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Unlike in Christianity or islam, in which Satan is considered an Angel created by God or Jinn, one sees in the traditional Satanism Satan-Azazel, as emanation , JHWHas a of the ultimate reality - Abraxas, which in terms of influence and power about on a par with the old testament Yahweh. Satan-Azazel is not regarded as a personification of pure evil, but as a muse that the humanity through the forbidden fruit knowledge donates and frees from his shackles of onwijsheid. <sup class="noprint nopopups" len="308" style="line-height:1;">[source?]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Although Satan and JHWH know in just yet, they are from the same source spillages are approached as two separate entities, in the same way as all living things eventually are emanations of the one and at the same time, yet all unique individuals.<sup class="noprint nopopups" len="308" style="line-height:1;"> [source?]

Modern Satanism
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the modern Satanismfounded by Anton LaVey, is Satan (the accuser) is considered as a kind of metaphor and not as an actually existing being. Some supporters also see Satan as an undefined dark natural force, that everything in the universe in balance. The largest organization it concerns modern Satanism is the Church of Satan.

Art, mythology and history
The lamp of the devil, Francisco de Goya, 1797-1798<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the Visual art the devil is usually depicted with a red-colored skin, hooves and horns on top of his head. This image is largely derived from the cheerful Greek-Romanmythological figures inspired on the Phrygian forest and veldgod Pan and his satyrs bevy (personified nature spirits). The fear of the "Devil" (in the appearance as that of Pan) is still reflected in a word like panic. Obviously it was associate of the old gods also a way of competing with the devil 'pagan' religions to make black.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the late middle ages the devil was a common theme in the Visual Arts and literature. Witches were seen as people who had concluded a pact with the devil. In return, provided the devil these people (mostly women) a supernatural force, whereby they would be able to do much harm. In the 16th and 17th century were many people, especially women, suspected of witchcraft, publicly burned. Many were also that witches met to drive around on bucks and wanted to dance, the so-called witches ' Sabbath.At the witches ' Sabbath, the witches also have sex with the devil and in ordinary life (were/were) they sex addict.
