Where Scripture Reveals Satan’s evil, his Sin and his rebellion

Image
The question is a fair one, and it deserves a careful answer that stays fully inside the text of Scripture, not later theology, folklore, or poetic interpretation taken beyond its intent. Scripture never provides a single sentence stating, “Satan sinned on such and such a day.” Instead, it reveals his character, his actions, his origin, and his fall through multiple witnesses across Torah, Prophets, and the Apostolic Scriptures. When all of these are allowed to speak together, the picture is clear, consistent, and grounded in the original languages and the worldview of the biblical writers. The first thing Scripture does is define the being. The Hebrew word שָׂטָן satan means adversary, accuser, one who opposes . It is not initially a personal name but a functional role. The Greek word used in the Apostolic Scriptures is διάβολος diabolos , meaning slanderer, false accuser . From the beginning, Scripture identifies this being by what he does, not by mythology or legend. Satan was crea...

Rest In His Word

  Reading the Word peaceably is not a casual or fleeting activity. It is a sacred rhythm, a deliberate dwelling in YHWH’s truth that spans the generations, from the giving of the Torah to Moses, through the psalmists, the prophets, Yeshua Himself, and finally the apostles and early Christians. The Scriptures call us not to skim or rush through, but to let the Word settle into our nephesh , our living soul, and awaken our pneuma , our spirit. The Torah commands, וְהָיָה לְךָ תּוֹרָה בְּפִיךָ וּבְלִבֶּךָ ( ve-hayah lecha torah be-fikha u-ve-libecha, Deuteronomy 6:6), instructing that the Law be on our lips and in our hearts. This is not instruction for hurried reading. The Hebrew itself encourages reflection, repetition, and the internalization of God’s truth. Each word is meant to lodge in the soul, shaping thought and character, forming a rhythm of life in obedience and delight. Psalm 1 paints a vivid picture of the person who studies Scripture with calm attention. One who deli...

If It’s Not Of God, It Is Sin

  You know, it sounds simple at first, “If it’s not of God, it is sin.” But the weight of that hits deeper than we often realize. It’s not just some catchphrase, not just something that sounds spiritual to say. This is a truth that digs right into the roots of our lives. It challenges everything: what we’re living from, what we’re aiming for, and ultimately, who we’re trusting. The Bible doesn’t give us a laundry list of “dos and don’ts” to follow. It tells a story, one that’s real, one that hits home. It’s a story of a holy, pure, and good God, and a people who continually drift away from Him. And that drift, even if it seems small, even if it’s barely noticeable? That’s sin. Not just when we make a big, dramatic choice to rebel. Even the tiniest shift, the smallest lean away from God, that’s sin too. Because it pulls us away from the very source of life. When we think of sin, we usually think of the big things, murder, theft, adultery. But sin can be so much more subtle than t...

WATCH! 2026

  ARE PROPHECIES REALLY COMING TO PASS? Something is happening in the world that feels different now. Not just another news cycle, not just politics as usual, but a moment that makes you stop and ask the same question the disciples asked Yeshua (Jesus) when they saw the powers of this age falter before glory. In Matthew 24:3 , when the disciples said, What will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age? , Yeshua did not give them easy answers or political forecasts. He gave them a charge to watch and to discern , because many things that look like endings are really beginnings in God’s story. Today, the United States has conducted a bold military operation in Venezuela that ended with the removal of Nicolás Maduro from power. People are responding strongly. Some cheer, others fear the consequences. The people who will pay the price are rarely the ones who made the decisions. This operation triggered not only immediate protests and local unrest in Venezuela, but also r...

The Last Supper

Image
A Deeper Look Into That Upper Room Night Walking into that upper room is stepping into a prophetic collision point where past, present, and future touch all at once. The Last Supper was not merely a gathering around bread and wine. That night was not a farewell meal in a sentimental sense. It was the fulfillment of thousands of years of covenant language, priestly preparation, Passover patterns, and kingdom promises. Every word spoken, every bite taken, every silence carried weight in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek that English translations barely approach. In Hebrew, the very concept of covenant, berith (cutting, blood agreement), implies a binding legal and spiritual act sealed in blood, echoing through generations. In Aramaic, mar , master, Lord, one with authority and care, carries relational weight that blends authority, protection, and intimacy. In Greek, words like anamnesis , active remembrance , bring the past forward into the present, not merely recalling memory but relivin...
