PAGE 6 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

SATAN IS CALLED THE "DRAGON" IN THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, REVELATION AND HE IS CALLED THE "SERPENT" IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GENESIS.  HIS NAME IN HEBREW "HASATAN" MEANS "ADVERSARY, OPPONENT OR ACCUSER." IN THE BIBLICAL NARRATIVE, WE HAVE OUR HERO PROTAGANIST: GOD THE FATHER AND GOD THE SON WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH BY THE POWER OF GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT - THE TRIUNE GOD.  WE HAVE THE ANTAGONIST, SATAN, A CREATED BEING, WHO OPPOSES GOD AND HIS PLANS. GOD IS TRUTH AND SATAN IS A LIAR. GOD GIVES LIFE AND SATAN IS A MURDERER. YESHUA SAYS ABOUT HIM:

"HE WAS MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, NOT HOLDING TO THE TRUTH, FOR THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE LIES, HE SPEAKS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF ALL LIES." JOHN 8:4

GOD'S DESIRE AND PLAN TO GATHER A PEOPLE FOR HIMSELF AS HIS BRIDE, HIS DESIRE TO PARTNER AND USE HER TO FULFILL HIS WILL ON EARTH, AND HIS PLAN TO COME BACK TO EARTH TO LIVE WITH HER IS CONSTANTLY BEING OPPOSED AND ATTACKED BY THE DECEIT, THEFT, AND OUTRIGHT MURDER BY SATAN.
