We believe that Satan

1. was once holy and enjoyed heavenly honors but through pride and ambition to be as the Almighty, fell (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:14-17);
2. drew after him a host of angels; (Rev. 12:9; Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:40;
3. is now the malignant prince of the power of the air, and the unholy god of this world (Eph. 2:2, John 14.30);
4. is man’s greatest tempter, (1 Peter 5:8; 1 Thess. 3:5; Matthew 4:1,3);
5. is the enemy of God and His Christ (Zechariah 1:3; 1 John 3:8; Matthew 13:25, 37-39; Luke 22:3-4;
6. is the accuser of the saints (Rev.12:10);
7. is the author of all false religions, the chief power back of the present apostasy (2 Cor. 11:13-15; Mark 13:21-22);
8. is the lord of the Antichrist (1 John 4:3; 2 John 2:22);
9. is the author of all powers of darkness (Rev. 13:13-14; 2 Thess. 2:8-11):
10. is destined to final defeat at the hand of God’s Son, and (Rev. 19:11; 16, 20; Rev. 12:7-9; Rev. 20:1-3); and
11. is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in hell, a place prepared for him and his angels (Rev. 20:10; Matthew 25:41).
