All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
DID SATAN KNOW ABOUT JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Do you think that satan knew about Jesus and the Holy Spirit when he (satan) was in heaven as one of the angels? I asked this because my thought is, if satan knew about Jesus and the Holy Spirit he wouldn't have tempted Jesus as accounted in the book of Mattew.
I guess God the Father didn't reveal the Son and the Holy Spirit to the angels because He knew about their disobident nature. He kept Jesus His only Son and the Holy Spirit His power, in His secret place knowing their time had not come. God knew that angles Micheal and Gabriel were strong enough to fight satan and his group of other disobident angels and chase them out of the heavenly kingdom. I think that when satan heard about Jesus Christ on earth, he had thought He was one of those claimers and he wanted to tempt Him with his useless offers.
What do you think?

Raj,
I appreciate your response, but fallen angels do not know about everything pertaining to God. Even holy angels don't know that. Check out this scripture:
1 Peter 1:12
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
As I stated earlier inthe discussion page 2 Jesus’ human nature began at birth. Luke 1:35 says that the son of god began at birth. That term is about his nature, not his person, which is eternal. So of course demons new Jesus was the son of God, but did they know that Jesus was the word made flesh.
John 1:14 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
We did not have those verses until John wrote the Gospel. Now the Old Testament never says the Son of God will come to earth, but rather:
Isaiah 40:3-4 (New International Version)
3 A voice of one calling:
"In the desert prepare
the way for the LORD ;
make straight in the wilderness
a highway for our God.
This verse makes it sound like God the father was coming to earth and not God the son. These kind of verses though are the ones that we use to determine that Jesus is God, not a god, but God. In Mark the prophecy of Isaiah is said to be fulfilled in Jesus.
Mark 1:2-5 (New International Version)
2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet:
"I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way" —
3 "a voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.' "4 And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Great post Raj. Blessings to you.
