Sample page - Scroll the mouse over the Blank Spots for the Suggested Answers E The Enemy (Satan)Some people do not believe in the existence of a personal Devil, calling "him" a medieval invention designed to scare people into the "Church." Others imagine the Devil to be dressed in a red suit complete with horns, cloven feet, and a long dragon’s tail – standing in Hell, tormenting folk with his pitchfork. Both of these views of Satan are false!! The Devil is NO JOKE! He’s real, and he is a danger. In this lesson we shall learn what the BIBLE teaches concerning Satan.

How many times did Satan tempt the Lord? _______________ 3. How did the Lord Jesus answer the Devil? "It is _ _ _ _ _ _ _." (i.e. He used the Bible) THE ORIGIN OF SATAN. Look up and read: Ezekiel 28:11-19. Primarily, this is a prophecy against the King of Tyre (probably Ethbaal II). The first 10 verses in the chapter were historically fulfilled by Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion and 13-year siege of Tyre (598-585 B.C.). Yet in this prophecy, we see another personage: the one behind the wicked king of Tyre – SATAN. (This is known as a "double prophecy" – it has a near and far fulfillment.)
