The Devil
We believe that Satan was once holy and enjoyed heavenly honors, but through pride and ambition to be the Almighty, fell and drew after him a host of angels; that he is now the malignant prince of the power of the air and the unholy god of this world system. We hold him to be man’s greatest tempter, the enemy of God and Christ, the accuser of the saints, the author of all false religions, the chief power behind the present apostasy. He is the lord of the Antichrist, and the author of all the powers of darkness; he is destined, however, to final judgment of an eternal justice in hell, a place prepared for the Devil and his angels. (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:14-17; Jude 6; I Thessalonians 3:5; I Peter 5:8; II Corinthians 11:13-15; II Thessalonians 2:3-11; Revelation 19:11, 16,20)
