Open your spiritual eyes, listen to the news, research history and work diligently to keep your mind alert in order to perceive that Satan is real. One of the fundamental books which tells us of his creation, criminal activity, double personality and lack of empathy for humanity is the Bible. In Isaiah 14:12 the prophet identifies him as “O morning star, son of the dawn” which reflects on the worship of the sun prevalent throughout antiquity with relics of it to the present day. Those were titles by which he was worshipped with the sun being one of his symbolic interpretations.

Ezekiel, the prophet also refers to him as “guardian cherub” (28:14); in the same chapter he talks about his beauty, wisdom, and the precious stones which adorned him.

This indicates that the animal and cherub were regarded as a united entity and with the ability to be held accountable for his actions. Secondly let‘s consider, “You will crawl on your belly”, suggests that the creature used to stand upright but that privilege was taken away; the possible reason for dinosaurs becoming extinct and leaving a crawling snake in its place. Science has discovered a curious thing,*“Primitive groups among the modern snakes, pythons and boas, have vestigial hind limbs.” Immediately following this it continues, “you will eat dust all the days of your life.” Here we notice that ‘dust’ will nourish the serpent and remembering that
