The Kingdom of Satan
Part 2
Passages about
Satan’s Fall AttackedSatan is so clever that he has not only convinced many Christians that he is only a figment of someone’s imagination, but he has also destroyed evidence proving his existence by convincing supposed “bible scholars” to write counterfeit bibles to correct God’s mistakes in the King James Bible. These “scholars” in their pride and rebellion against their Creator and God, largely reject and corrupt biblical evidence of Satan’s existence.
- That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
- The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
- He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
- The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
- Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
- Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
- All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
- Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
- How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
- For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
- I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
- Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
- They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
- That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
- All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
- But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
- Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
In this satanic argument, “scholars” conclude that “Lucifer” couldn’t possibly be the devil or Satan, to the delight of most secret societies as Freemasons worship Lucifer as their “light bearer” and brother to Jesus.
While the name “Lucifer” does mean “light bearer,” which was part of his creation that he has retained after his fall, it is all now part of the grand deception. Corrupt bibles refuse to call him “Lucifer” but instead glorify him as a morning star, a term reserved for the Son of God and the good angels. With the rebellious scholars confusing the reader by disguising the identity of this supposed “morning star,” it wouldn’t be a far reach for the biblical illiterate to logically conclude that these passages are referring to Jesus.
- I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
- When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit.
Another argument the bible “experts” make to disprove the use of the name “Lucifer” is that the Bible nowhere else calls Satan “Lucifer.” Knowing that Lucifer was created as a cherub, a class of angel, and radiant with light, and Jesus having witnessed Satan’s fall from heaven, would it be any stretch of the imagination to figure that Lucifer and Satan are one and the same being?
- And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
- How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
- And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
The obvious conclusion to the singular use of the name Lucifer is that was his name before his fall. After his fall, he is known as “the accuser” or Satan. That is not the only time when God changed a name. Abram was renamed Abraham; Jacob was renamed Israel; Saul was called Paul.
- Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
- And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
- And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
- And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
- Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Bible experts argue that the passages have to do with the king of Babylon claiming to be God and desiring to be equal with God. Therefore, they claim, these passages have nothing to do with Satan.
There are several problems with this notion. First of all, Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon in these passages, was humbled by God and never thought himself to be equal to Him.
- And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
Second of all, whenever a king, whose power is given him by God, steals that glory that rightfully belongs to God, they die. Nebuchadrezzar, to the contrary, recognized God as the source of his power.
- And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
- And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
- And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Third of all, it is recorded many times of Satan’s ability to enter a man and influence his actions. Satan is real and he has the ability to influence even Christians to do what is wrong.
- And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
- But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
- Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
-
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Only bible scholars don’t know the author of their knowledge which they worship.
- And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
- For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
- Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Quite simply, these passages in Isaiah 14 are speaking both of the king of Babylon and of Satan who is influencing that king to do his evil deeds.
The bible experts’ final argument states that the demise of the creature in Isaiah 14 has to be referring to a human being, not an angel, because the demise’s description is physical and couldn’t possibly apply to a spiritual being as an angel. How can a spiritual being as an angel be brought into Hell?
These passages in Isaiah refer again both to a king and the devil, as a puppet master, influencing him — there are two actors and two demises. As for bad angels going to Hell, Hell was prepared specifically for them.
- Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
- Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
- The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
- Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
- And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
In Revelation 12:9, Satan is called a “great dragon” and it would be logical to assume that his angels would be called “dragons.” Jeremiah here likens Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon to a dragon, which identifies his actions as associated with Satan. Isaiah 14:5-6 states that this king had a “staff of the wicked” and that he “smote the people in wrath” and “ruled the nations in anger” — all attributes of Satan. With such a striking similarity between two different prophets, it is easy to conclude that Isaiah 14 is a reference to Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and Satan, known as Lucifer before he fell.
The bible scholars claim that all these passages are of God mocking the king. How can this supposed mockery be “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”? God’s word is perfect and righteous, not to be belittled.
- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
- The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
- Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
- Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
- With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
- By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
- Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
- Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
- They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
- Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
- Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
- Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
- Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
- Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
- Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
- By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
- Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
- Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
- All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
As before, bible “scholars” give a half-truth that these passages are referring to a human king claiming deity and having nothing to do with Satan. Verses 1 – 10 are addressed to the “prince of Tyrus.” In verses 2 and 9, God says this prince is a man and that a stranger will slay him as a man in verses 7 – 9. Unlike Satan, his heart was lifted up because of his riches in verse 5.
Verses 11 – 19 are addressed to the “king of Tyrus.” In verses 14 and 16, God says this king is an anointed and covering cherub. Furthermore God says this king is created in verses 13 and 15, not born as a man is. Because Satan has so much power over men, God Himself will have to destroy him in verses 17 – 18. Unlike the prince, this cherub known as Satan lifted up his heart because of his beauty and corrupted his wisdom because of his brightness (Lucifer) in verse 17. Bible “scholars,” however, instead of believing what God has said, attribute these passages to a god they called Melquart, which means “King of the City.”
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.
19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.
If there was any chance of a bible student figuring out that these passages were attributable to Satan, the NIV dismisses the revelation by putting Satan’s destruction in the past by using verbs in the past tense, instead of the future tense “I will” as used by God in the King James Bible. According to the NIV and other corruptions, Satan is merely a historical fact, no longer a threat to be prepared for.
- And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
- And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
- And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
When Satan as Lucifer became filled with iniquity, he rebelled against God and started a war in Heaven with his angels in which he was unable to prevail. Consequently he and his angels — now called evil spirits, gods, devils and demons — were cast out into the earth where Jesus was a witness to Satan falling from Heaven. Thus imprisoned by the earth, Satan then began a campaign to destroy the man and his descendants whom God had created.
- And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
- And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Satan’s Influence
is Worldwide- Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
- And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
- Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
- Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
- And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
- And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
- And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
- And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
- And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
- If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
- And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Proud of his deeds, Ashurbanipal (668–627 B.C.) preserved for posterity this ghastly record of how he dealt with his Elamite enemies, who lived to the southeast of Assyria. All of these deeds of extreme cruelty will result in the most agonizing death of the victim.
The upper register of the relief shows two naked men lying supine, fastened to the ground with ropes and stakes, while two Assyrians, bending over them with knives, flay them.
To the right of this scene, an Assyrian probably uses strings to carry away a head. Decapitating a victim’s head is certainly a kinder death than the other methods used.
In the lower register, at the bottom edge, an Assyrian steadies the head of an Elamite prisoner, while another Assyrian tears out the man’s tongue, leaving him to drown in his own blood with excruciating pain. Above them, two Assyrians throw down the next victim, whose arms are tied behind his back.
Two Assyrian soldiers erect a stake with an impaled, naked man beside two others. The heads of these captured men of Lachish sag forward, suggesting that they are already dead. This detail comes from a series of reliefs, found at Nineveh, in which Sennacherib (704–681 B.C.) recorded the exploits of his invasion of Judah in 701 B.C. Lachish was among the 46 cities he conquered.
All the kings of the Middle Eastern countries at this time had committed atrocities in order to appease the gods (devils) they worshiped. While every person is born in Adam’s fallen nature, it is the inspiration or provocation from Satan and his angels that causes men to stoop to such cruelty against their fellowman.
In one case when a city resisted as long as possible instead of immediately submitting, Ashurnasirpal proudly records his punishment:
“I flayed as many nobles as had rebelled against me [and] draped their skins over the pile [of corpses]; some I spread out within the pile, some I erected on stakes upon the pile … I flayed many right through my land [and] draped their skins over the walls.”
The account was probably intended not only to describe what had happened, but also to frighten anyone who might dare to resist. To suppress his enemies was the king’s divine task. Supported by the gods, he always had to be victorious in battle and to punish disobedient people:
“I felled 50 of their fighting men with the sword, burnt 200 captives from them, [and] defeated in a battle on the plain 332 troops. … With their blood I dyed the mountain red like red wool, [and] the rest of them the ravines [and] torrents of the mountain swallowed. I carried off captives [and] possessions from them. I cut off the heads of their fighters [and] built [therewith] a tower before their city. I burnt their adolescent boys [and] girls.”
A description of another conquest is even worse:
“In strife and conflict I besieged [and] conquered the city. I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword … I captured many troops alive: I cut off of some their arms [and] hands; I cut off of others their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of many troops. I made one pile of the living [and] one of heads. I hung their heads on trees around the city.”
