Who Is the Devil?
by David C. Pack
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
May 18th 2023
Just who is the devil? The Bible calls him “the god of this world.” But where did he come from? Did God create him as he is? Is he a fallen spirit? Here are the answers from God’s Word!
The devil has been a subject of intense interest for thousands of years. He has been pictured as a ghost, a bogeyman, or as a “devilishly” handsome man in a red suit, with horns and a pitchfork. He has even been portrayed as the “epitome of all evil,” or the cause of everything bad that people do. Most are probably familiar with the expression “the devil made me do it.” While these ideas are common, they are all WRONG! They terribly misrepresent this powerful spirit!
Many professing Christians speak long, loud messages about “that bad old devil.” The more emotional groups conduct tent meetings, campaigns, rallies and crusades where people are told, “We’re gonna lay that devil down tonight.” Large numbers leave these meetings completely convinced that they have done this. Tragically, the devil leaves these meetings more satisfied, knowing his role in what just happened.
Few know the TRUTH about who and what the devil is. This booklet will strip away the mystery, confusion, ignorance, myth, superstition and misconceptions shrouding the truth about his identity and origin.
Growing Fascination with the Devil
One can scarcely turn around without hearing and seeing references to the devil or demons. Pause for a moment and think about how often this happens.
Turn on the television. Go to the movies. Visit a bookstore. How often is the subject of the devil, demons, angels or the spirit world in general spoken or written about? Whole television series are dedicated to these subjects, with more appearing all the time. Movies and books have focused on the devil for many years. But now they come more often—and are more odd, bizarre, macabre and frightening than ever before!
Millions live paycheck to paycheck. Bankruptcy, job losses, and daily money worries are effects of today’s economic turmoil. What are the causes? Are there biblical laws and principles—keys to…
Watch Now
Consider the “Harry Potter” phenomenon. Some authors write almost exclusively about the spirit world, often mixing a false understanding of prophecy into the plot line—and legions of fans purchase their every book.
Satanism and witchcraft are practiced more openly now than ever before!
Millions spend vast sums annually on psychic hotlines, palm readers, astrologers, crystal ball gazers, witches, wizards, channelers and a host of other mediums, to find out what the future has in store for them.
The devil sells—and people are buying as never before!
Unnecessary Confusion
The apostle Paul wrote, “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace” (I Cor. 14:33). While widespread CONFUSION surrounds the devil’s identity, you need not be confused!
While newspapers, magazines and other news media report what happened, The Real Truth analyzes and explains the root cause of why events happen—why humanity is at a loss to solve today’s problems. Subscribe
The Bible is the foundation of all knowledge. You will often hear us say, “Blow the dust off your Bible! Examine it carefully and see the real truth that has always been on its pages. Don’t believe something just because we say it, but rather only if you see Bible proof.”
God’s Word contains the answers to all of life’s biggest questions! The PLAIN TRUTH of its instruction is not taught in this world’s churches. From as early as “Sunday school,” most are taught to believe what everyone assumes is in God’s Word. What it says about the origin of Satan will surprise you. We must let the Bible reveal him for what he is.
Paul also wrote, “PROVE all things; hold fast that which is good” (I Thes. 5:21), and “PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Rom. 12:2).
We will examine the verses that explain Satan’s origin and who he is. To do this, we must abandon men’s ideas and only accept what can be proven!
Where Did Satan Come From?
The devil is alive and real. The Bible calls him the “god of this world” (II Cor. 4:4). Revelation 12:9 states that he “deceives the whole world.” This includes the truth about his identity. But has he always been the devil? Has he always been the evil, murderous, lying, destructive prince of darkness? Was he created this way?
No one thinks they have enough money. Many are concerned—even obsessed—by the need for more. Despite the majority of households having more than one income, this is often still not enough to pay… Order Now
He was not!
But these questions require explanation. Careful study brings the whole picture. The Bible describes Satan in many scriptures. This booklet primarily examines the verses explaining the devil’s origin. (Our longer booklet, A World in Captivity, discusses the many scriptures describing his role, strategy and devices. Read this companion booklet to understand the overall nature of how the devil works.)
God originally created three archangels: Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer (who became Satan). These three were placed in charge of hundreds of millions of angels (Rev. 5:11). Lucifer ruled the pre-Adamic world with his angels. He, along with a third of all angels, rebelled against the government of God, and today he leads these now fallen angels, or demons, as the god of this world.
Genesis 1
Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” This scripture sets the stage for our study.
The book of Job describes when God created the Earth, billions of years ago. God asked Job a series of questions: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. Who has laid the measures thereof, if you know? Or who has stretched the line upon it?…When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (38:4-5, 7).
These “stars” were angels (Rev. 12:4), also described as “sons of God.” (Of course, literal stars do not sing.) Notice that it says “all” of them “shouted” and “sang together.” This proves there were not yet demons at the time of creation in Genesis 1:1.
This scripture shows that the Earth was created in a wonderful and beautiful condition. There was great joy and singing. Now read Genesis 1:2.
This verse is mistranslated and does not reflect the meaning of the original Hebrew. The King James Version of the Bible says, “The earth was without form, and void.” Three key Hebrew words are all mistranslated here, thus obscuring, and actually hiding, the true meaning.
The word translated “was” is hayah. In Genesis 2:7, this word is correctly translated “became,” and in Genesis 9:15, “become.”
The words for “without form, and void” are tohu and bohu. Correctly translated, they mean “chaotic, in confusion, waste and empty.” In short, a perfectly created Earth (vs. 1), “became chaotic and confused” (vs. 2). Tohu and bohu are translated identically in Jeremiah 4:23. Isaiah 34:11, among other places, translates this phrase as “confusion and emptiness.”
Notice Isaiah 45:18, which clarifies how God did not create the Earth: “For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He has established it, He created it not in vain [tohu meaning chaotic or waste], He formed it to be inhabited.” It is clear that the Earth became chaotic after God had created it—between the events described in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. The latter verse describes the RE-creation of the Earth 6,000 years ago, and verse 1 describes the original creation of the entire universe that, according to scientists, occurred as many as 17 billion years ago.
Psalm 104:30 says that God “renews the face of the earth.” The seven days of the creation week are when God renewed a damaged, injured Earth, then completely covered with water (Gen. 1:2). We will see that this was caused by the devil.
So we know what happened. But how did it happen? How did the Earth go from beautiful and perfect at Creation to chaotic, confused, waste and empty? Since God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33), we know that He did not destroy the earth. Then who or what did?
Isaiah 14
The Bible reveals many important facts about a subject if one reads all of the scriptures that pertain to it. Revelation 9:11 describes a “king” who leads a demonic army at the time of Revelation. He is called “the angel of the bottomless pit.” (Later you will see this association with the “bottomless pit” makes clear the being described is the devil.) Continuing in verse 11, his “name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon [meaning “a destroying angel”], but in the Greek tongue has his name Apollyon [“a destroyer (that is, Satan)”].” Satan and the great mass of angels he turned to his way are the only candidates powerful enough to have brought destruction on this scale.
Isaiah 14:12-15 tells a remarkable story. Read carefully, noticing the emphasized key phrases: “How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the Most High. Yet you shall be brought down to hell [the “grave”—verses 9 and 11], to the sides of the pit.”
The one called “Lucifer” could not possibly be a man. The things he did are impossible for any human being to do. Only the devil “weakens the nations” and could have said he would “ascend into heaven.” Certainly no man could be “cut down to the ground” in the way described here. Finally, no man has a throne that could be put above the “stars of heaven.”
God lives in the north part of the heavens or the “sides of the north.” Job sheds light on Lucifer’s attempt to overthrow God there: “He [God] stretched out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing” (26:7). The “empty place” in the “north” coincides with what astronomers have noticed is a strange lack of stars. No doubt, Satan attacked God in that direction when he sought to ascend from his throne to take over God’s throne between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Just let the Bible reveal the story!
Ezekiel 28
Ezekiel 28:12-17 parallels Isaiah 14, and is equally important for study. This account describes one who some scholars claim was a human “king of Tyrus.” Careful reading shows this is impossible—and ridiculous.
Verse 12 speaks of one who “seals up the sum, full of wisdom, perfect in beauty,” who had also “been in Eden the Garden of God” (vs. 13). No human has ever been perfect, and it was the devil—the serpent—who beguiled Eve in the Garden. Verse 13 continues, “you were created,” and Satan is a created being. Verse 14 calls him “the cherub that covers.” (Exodus 25:17-20 describes the remaining two faithful “cherubs that cover[ed]” God’s throne in the Old Testament tabernacle. Their wings cover the “mercy seat.”) No earthly king fits this description.
The latter part of Ezekiel 28:14 says this “king” was “in the mountain of God” and “walked…in the midst of the stones of fire.” This is the area around God’s throne. Verse 15 declares, “Iniquity [or lawlessness] was found in you” and verse 16 refers to it as “sin.”
Verse 16 also describes this cherub as having been “cast…out of” heaven. Verse 17 reveals that his “heart was lifted up because of [his] beauty” and that his wisdom was “corrupted…by reason of [his] brightness.” The verse ends with God “casting him down to the ground,” where the kings of the Earth would “behold him.”
Lucifer was a brilliant being—an “angel of light,” as are “his ministers” (II Cor. 11:13-15). The name Lucifer means “the light bringer.” This once perfect being originally brought brilliant light to all who were around him. But he rebelled and sinned—thus becoming the “prince of darkness.” His revolt turned him into a twisted, perverted being. While of great intelligence, he has literally become an insane fallen angel, no longer knowing right from wrong!
The Antichrist
Some additional understanding concerning certain vital prophecies is necessary before continuing.
The Bible plainly teaches that an immensely powerful Antichrist will arise to actually rule the world for a brief period just before Christ returns. You must know what is coming. Here is John’s first and clearest reference to this man’s arrival in the last time: “You have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists” (I John 2:18). While John spoke of multiple antichrists during his time, a single antichrist is the main focus.
The apostle Paul also spoke of Christ’s “coming”—and connected it to the Antichrist’s arrival. In II Thessalonians 1:7 he described the time “when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,” but then carefully clarified that the Antichrist’s rise comes first. Chapter 2 opens with, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [the Day of Christ’s Return] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that Man of Sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (vs. 3). This “falling away” has already occurred—the subject of other material we produce. Paul continues, “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (vs. 4). Many passages reveal that true Christians constitute the “temple of God” (read I Cor. 3:16 and I Pet. 2:5). The Antichrist’s lawlessness and power is so great he claims to be God—and vast millions will believe him who today assert this could never happen!
The Antichrist’s power exceeds anything the world has ever seen. His coming is “after the working [meaning efficiency or energy] of Satan with ALL power and signs and lying wonders” (II Thes. 2:9). Think of Satan himself, in a human vessel, bringing the full extent of his miracles, “wiles,” “devices” and “depths” to bear.
What kinds of false miracles might this man do? I have cast out many demons and know their power. Here is a partial list of what demons can do: visions, voices, foretelling events, possessing followers, calling down fire, storms, levitation, turning inanimate objects into living creatures (similar to Egyptian magicians copying Aaron’s rod becoming a snake) or turning water to blood, afflicting God’s servants (like Job), destruction, temptation, intimidating accusations, loud noises to engender fear, lies and subtle deceptions of all kinds—plus various tricks only the devil himself could think of.

That picture seems quite fucked up .The church claimed Lucifer as an enemy of God .Maybe Lucifer is all that stands between us ,and Gods wrath .God is capable of doing whatever he wishes .Why doesn't he make things better here on Earth ,for us ,his children . I'm tired of hearing the endless ridiculous excuses ,and will not accept ,that this all powerful being has our best interests at heart There are those who suffer true Hell here on Earth ,and God does nothing ,it is up to man to act ,and who is it that stands here with us on Terra Firma ,cast out of heaven ? An angel that the church decries .Think ,about what you've been told ,and ask yourself ,is it possible ,the story isn't quite right ?
