Part One

Understanding the Devil


The Devil in Greek translates to “The Accuser,” also it can be translated to “A Traducer,” or slander, a false accuser. The Devil and Satan is one of the same entities. Other names—and this entity have many: the temper (Matt 4); “The Evil One” (Matt. 13); “The Great Dragon and Serpent of old” (Rev 12). I think he has more names than the United States has states.
“…like a roaring lion” 1 Peter 5, and he has angels (Rev 12), and he has powers, signs and can do false wonders (11 Thes. 2); some Christians turn and follow Satan (I Tim 5).
The ‘tares’ they are the sons of the evil one (Matt 13). The seed is the word of God (Luke 8) and the devil takes the word of God away so they cannot be saved.
The Devil got into the heart of Judas Iscariot, to betray him (John 13).
There is a lot of testimony in the New Testament that points to the Devil’s existence.
And we also see it in the Old Testament.

Moses, in his fifty book called Deuteronomy, Chapter 32, recognizes Israel was known in pre-existence that they although forgot the rock of their salvation…was God, Himself, and turned to other gods, at this juncture, Moses mentions the sons of Adam, and separating them, thus the Lord God was leading Israel through Adam and his pure blood line, which would have been Seth (third son), but we see in time idolatry with strange gods…”They sacrificed unto devils…”
The point, we see as well in the Old Testament, as in the New Testament, the Devil at work.
In Psalms 106, he is called Baal-peor (in Hebrew, the false gods) and of course Satan is the leader of the false gods.



Part Two

Ruler of the South










Seth (or Set), was one of the ancient Egypt’s earliest gods, notorious for chaos, and storms and wind and so forth. One of he Osiris legends, he was considered the God of Evil ((no connection to Seth the righteous one, the third son of Adam, who had 56-children, 33-sons and 23-daughters as indicated in Gen. 4) (Seth being the ancestor to Noah, and considered by some to be the father to all mankind)).
This Seth is the demon of death; depicted as a man with a head of a ‘sut animal’ also as a hippopotamus, pig and the donkey, crocodiles (he refers back to Typhon, iron bones), this god is deep in humankind’s past, referred to in “The Book of the Dead,” CXXV.

Referring back to the French Scholar of Egypt, Mairette: 4100 BC, Egypt changed the old religion, the justified soul; doctrine of the ritual of the dead came into existence. Here he is god, then replaced by other gods, perhaps because of the justified soul concept.
So evil was incarnate, recognized at this point, within a man, superhuman being, the equal or near equal to Satan, and at one point you could replace him with Satan. The story of Seth really is pre-history. When we look at it from that angel, we see Set or Seth an ancient strong god of the past, converted into Satan, then with the rise of Osiris, we see Seth killing Osiris, as night is to day, but then Hor conquers Set. Satan gives us just enough confusion to blind us sometimes, but the theme is, evil incarnate is walking, and was waling at the dawn of history, and dates to an unknown pre-historic date.


Part Three

The Nature of Evil


It is foolish to think man can live in a state of undisturbed happiness, at least not on this side of the grave. If we were all walking in good faith, on the good path, perhaps we’d not understand its worth. Pointing fingers world be pointless. In the absence of evil, perhaps it would be like Marxism, no higher goals to seek, worthwhile seeking anyhow. Thus, how would God measure us?
If there was no monsters of the deep there would be no show to give you an idea about…Jews call this monster Satan, Christians call him the Devil, and those nonbelievers call him Godzilla or King Kong.
