Does "SATAN" Exist Today?

Richard K. McPherson


What happened in 70 AD?  

Objective: Many articles prove the significance of Jesus’ return in 70 AD. It has been proven repeatedly that the prophecies of the prophets and of Jesus came true. It has also been proven that the disciples taught only what they had been taught and left nothing out.  In this paper, I am trying to point out other things that also happened in 70 AD. There are a lot more things that happened then that affect us today.  One of these things is the existence of the devil or Satan. Trying to point out something that people want to hold on to is going to be hard. In this article, I will pose some questions to people who hold on the existence of Satan and say that he still has power and in doing so; believe the opposite of what the Scriptures teach. When one is first introduced to Preterism or eschatology, it goes against all that one has been taught. The same could be said about this topic. I hope you enjoy this article and it helps you in your continuing study of God’s Word.

Note: The green numbers are Strong's numbers so it will be easy for you to verified my work.

This study is about “the devil, Satan, the serpent” and his existence today. Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, Flip Wilson had a saying: “The Devil made me do it”. How true is that statement?  Is the devil so powerful that we today, cannot resist him or is he powerless? Is he still alive or does he not exist in any way, form or fashion? I read in a book once that the devil is powerless. In that same book, it also stated that the devil has the power to deceive. Which one is it? How can the devil be powerless and still have power?  

The only place to start is at the beginning. Let’s consider Genesis 3:15: (NIV)

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head and you will strike his heel.”

(KJV)  And I will put7896 enmity342 between996 thee and the woman,802 and between996 thy seed2233 and her seed;2233 it1931 shall bruise7779 thy head,7218 and thou859 shalt bruise7779 his heel.6119

Let’s look at the Hebrew on some words.

“Enmity” H342  איבה 

                 êybâh  ay-baw' From H340; hostility: - enmity, hatred

In other versions, it may use the phrase “and he will bruise your head and you will bruise his heel.” Bruise is even used in Young’s translation. So, what is the problem? If you look at the text in Hebrew, you will notice that each “bruise” has a different meaning. The meaning fits very well with the meaning of “bruise” in the Greek.

In Goodwick # 8789, the first “bruise”, “he will bruise your head” means:  to crush.

In Goodwick # 8790, the second “bruise”, “...you will bruise his heel” means: to strike. One will notice the next two texts and how they are translated.  In looking at this text, one needs to look at the whole picture and know who will do what to whom to correctly interpret the text. 

Who is the “he” in this text? We all know that this text is talking about Jesus. Most Bibles refer one to Romans 16:20 and Hebrews 2:14. Let us start with Romans 16:20.

Romans 16:20 

(ALT)  Now the God of peace will crush Satan under your* feet with quickness. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you*.  

(ASV)  And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  

(BBE)  And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  

(CEV)  Then God, who gives peace, will soon crush Satan under your feet. I pray that our Lord Jesus will be kind to you.  

(ISV)  The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!  

(KJV+)  And1161 the3588 God2316 of peace1515 shall bruise4937 Satan4567 under5259 your2257 feet4228 shortly.1722, 5034 The3588 grace5485 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 be with3326 you.5216 Amen.281  

(YLT)  and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

The KJV and YLT again use the word “bruise”.

The Greek-English Interlinear translates it like this:

“And the God – of peace will crush - Satan under the feet of you soon.”

The Greek meanings of the word “bruise or crush” in this text is: Strongs # 4937 or Goodwick # 5341: συντρίβω   suntribō  (soon-tree'-bo)

From G4862 and the base of G5147; to crush completely, that is, to shatter (literally or figuratively): - break (in pieces), broken to shivers (+ -hearted), destroy, dash to pieces. So far, the meaning of the word “bruise” in the New Testament and Old Testament is the same. Let us see if this meaning is carried throughout the Scriptures. 

Hebrews 2:14

(ALT)  Therefore, since the young children have shared of flesh and blood, He Himself also likewise shared in the same, so that through death He should destroy [or, render powerless] the one having the power of death, that is, the Devil,  

(ASV)  Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;  

(BBE)  And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;  

(CEV)  We are people of flesh and blood. That is why Jesus became one of us. He died to destroy the devil, who had power over death.  

(ISV)  Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, he himself also shared the same things, so that by his death he might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the devil)  

(KJV+)  Forasmuch1893 then3767 as the3588 children3813 are partakers2841 of flesh4561 and2532 blood,129 he846 also2532 himself likewise3898 took part3348 of the3588 same;846 that2443 through1223 death2288 he might destroy2673 him that had2192 the3588 power2904 of death,2288 that is,5123 the3588 devil;1228  

(YLT)  Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death--that is, the devil--

What does the phrase mean, “He might destroy him...”? In Strongs # 2672 and Goodwick # 2934 destroy means: καταργέω  katargeō (kat-arg-eh'-o)

From G2596 and G691; to be (render) entirely idle (useless), literally or figuratively: - abolish, cease, cumber, deliver, destroy, do away, become (make) of no (none, without) effect, fail, loose, bring (come) to nought, put away (down), vanish away, make void.to nullify, abolish, to cease, pass way, to make void, to do away with, and put an end to. Now I ask you, did Jesus do that or did he fail?  

In 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says,  

(ALT)  [The] last enemy being abolished [is] death.  

(ASV)  The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.  

(BBE)  The last power to come to an end is death.  

(CEV)  and the last enemy he destroys will be death.  

(ISV)  The last enemy to be done away with is death,  

(KJV+)  The last2078 enemy2190 that shall be destroyed2673 is death.2288  

(YLT)  the last enemy is done away--death;

In verse 24, it tells us that the end will come after everything has been destroyed and death was that last thing. The word “destroy” has the same meaning as in Hebrews 2:14 and Romans 16:20.

When did this happen? 70 ad!!  If this happen in 70 ad, then how can the Devil (Satan) be here today? How did he survive that destruction?

Both in 1 Corinthians 15:26 and Hebrews 2:14, death, Satan or the Devil go hand in hand. I ask again. Did Jesus destroy death or not? Look at the time frame in 1 Corinthians 15:24, “Then the end will come…”

Let’s look at 2 Timothy 1:10:

(ALT) but having been revealed now through the appearance of our Savior Jesus Christ, on the one hand having abolished death, on the other hand having brought to light life and immortality through the Gospel,

(ASV) but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

(BBE) But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Savior Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

(CEV) Now Christ Jesus has come to show us the kindness of God. Christ our Savior defeated death and brought us the good news. It shines like a light and offers life that never ends.

(ESV) and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

(ISV) Now, however, it has been revealed through the coming of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and through the gospel has brought life and release from death into full view.

(KJV) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

(KJV+) But1161 is now3568 made manifest5319 by1223 the3588 appearing2015 of our2257 Savior4990 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 who hath abolished2673 (3303) death,2288 and1161 hath brought life and immortality to light5461, 2222, 2532, 861 through1223 the3588 gospel:2098

(KJVA) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

(LITV) but now revealed through the appearance of our Savior, Jesus Christ, indeed making death of no effect, bringing life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel,

(MKJV) But it is now having been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has made death of no effect, bringing life and immortality to light through the gospel;

(MSG) But we know it now. Since the appearance of our Savior, nothing could be plainer: death defeated, life vindicated in a steady blaze of light, all through the work of Jesus.

(WEB) but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

(YLT) and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,

As you noticed, Paul wrote this in past tense. The appearing of Christ was so close, imminent, at hand, Paul talked this way. This passage was written about six years before 70 AD. The sign of Jesus' coming were happening. This was the last thing to be destroyed, before the end. 1 Corinthians 15:24-26.

Again, the meaning of “destroyed” is the same as the others. Now that we have seen that Jesus destroyed death at his appearing or coming in 70 AD, what kind of death was destroyed and what kind of life was brought? Was it physical death and physical life or spiritual death and spiritual life? 

 In Revelation 12:12b “But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” What does “his time is short” mean? Could it mean that Satan knew his time was running out? His number was being called up or could it mean in a futuristic sense that “soon” meat 1000 plus years. In Revelation 20:10, you have the Devil or Satan or the ancient serpent, the dragon (all names meaning the same person Revelation 20:2) being thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. In addition, death and Hades were thrown into the same place and here it is called the “lake of fire”. (Verse 14)

  (See appendix 1 for the name “Lucifer”.)

  Here are some questions to the ones who believe that the devil still exists after 70 AD.

1.   If the devil was “judged” and cast into the lake of fire in Revelation 19 and still survived, would that make him more powerful then the Almighty God?

2.   How can someone that has been dashed in pieces or put an end to, still exist, today?

3.   If the devil still exists today, what is his purpose? What does he do? Does he just roam the earth with nothing to do, because he is powerless?  

4.   Do you believe Scripture or not?  

Max King, in his book “The Cross and the Parousia”, page 9 puts it this way,

                       “…the primary aim of Christ’s Messianic reign (His pre-end-of-the-age reign) was the resurrection of the dead by means of the age-consummation defeat of sin and death.”  

The law + Sin = Death

Let us go into this a little deeper. I am not going to go into detail about the eschatological matters. Many articles prove that Jesus has returned and the resurrection, judgment has happen in 70 AD. I would like to pose a question. The law passed away and death, Satan, Hades have been destroyed, all in the same time period, 70 AD. Where that leaves “sin”?  In Romans 6:23 it says, “The wages of sin is death.” So, if sin still exists, what is the result from sin since death has been destroyed?

Again, let us start in the Old Testament. Go to Daniel 9:24.

(ASV)  Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.  

(BBE)  Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.  

(CEV)  God has decided that for seventy weeks, your people and your holy city must suffer as the price of their sins. Then evil will disappear, and justice will rule forever; the visions and words of the prophets will come true, and a most holy place will be dedicated.  

(KJV+)  Seventy7657 weeks7620 are determined2852 upon5921 thy people5971 and upon5921 thy holy6944 city,5892 to finish3607 the transgression,6588 and to make an end2856 of sins,2403 and to make reconciliation3722 for iniquity,5771 and to bring in935 everlasting5769 righteousness,6664 and to seal up2856 the vision2377 and prophecy,5030 and to anoint4886 the most Holy.6944, 6944  

(YLT)  `Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.  

What does it mean, “….to put an end to sin…”? In Strongs # 8552 or Goodwick # 9462, the word is: תּמם   tâmam (taw-mam') A primitive root; to complete, in a good or a bad sense, literally or figuratively, transitively or intransitively: - accomplish, cease, be clean [pass-] ed, consume, have done, (come to an, make an) end, fail, come to the full, be all gone, X be all here, be (make) perfect, be spent, sum, be (shew self) upright, be wasted, whole.  

Some say that it is talking about animal scarifies. That cannot be, because it talks about that in verse 27.  

(ASV)  And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.  

(BBE)  And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.  

(CEV)  For one week this foreigner will make a firm agreement with many people, and halfway through this week, he will end all sacrifices and offerings. Then the "Horrible Thing" that causes destruction will be put there. And it will stay there until the time God has decided to destroy this one who destroys.  

(KJV+)  And he shall confirm1396 the covenant1285 with many7227 for one259 week:7620 and in the midst2677 of the week7620 he shall cause the sacrifice2077 and the oblation4503 to cease,7673 and for5921 the overspreading3671 of abominations8251 he shall make it desolate,8074 even until5704 the consummation,3617 and that determined2782 shall be poured5413 upon5921 the desolate.8076  

(YLT)  And he hath strengthened a covenant with many--one week, and in the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.' 

This phrase has a different Hebrew word and meaning. The word is “Sabat”, which means to rest or cease. Josephus tells us that this did happen around February 67 AD. This is from “Works of Josephus”, volume 1, and page 430.

Turn to 1 John 3:4-9. I want to put this into context so I will quote the whole text.

“Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away (or remove) our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seen remains in him, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

The phase “…appeared to destroy the devil’s work” means this: # 3395 Goodwick or # 3090 Strong’s: to demolish, to loosen its obligation of a law or institution, or making void, doing away with. From this meaning, it is talking about the law and sin.

The Greek-English Interlinear puts verse 8 like this: “For this was manifested the Son – of God, in order that he might undo the works of the devil.”  

Look at Romans 7:7-11:

“What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have know what coveting really was if the law had not said," Do not covet.” But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.”

What does the phase, “...apart from law, sin is dead...” mean? 

Romans 5:12-14, 20

 “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all have sinned—for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account (or not charged to one’s account) when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.”

(20) “The law was added so that the trespass might increase...”

 Romans 4:15

“.. because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.”

Are we living under the “law”? What does “…where there is no law there is no transgression,” mean?  What is the “law”?  The “law” is the rules and regulations that God gave Moses. The “law” also includes the “Ten Commandments”. The “law” has prophecies about Christ, the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and many others. The “law” is no more. We are not even under the “Ten Commandments”. You might say, “Wait, just one minute”. We follow the “Thou shall not’s...”

James 2:10 puts it this way.

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it”

Do we today “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy…” Exodus 20:8. There were around 613 separate commandments in the entire Law of Moses. Today we are living under the results of the promises that were giving to the first century Christians. While they lived under “hope”, we live under “assurance”. The “law” was only a shadow of what was to come. The whole book of Hebrews explains this by comparing the Old Covenant with the New Covenant.

Max King puts it this way in his book “The Cross and The Parousia of Christ”, page 644-645.

                       “The fact that Paul is dealing with the 70 AD consummation of the Jewish age is brought out clearly by the manner in which he expresses death’s ultimate defeat (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law” (verse 56) Paul is conscious that death’s defeat hinges upon sin’s defeat, and that the defeat of sin is tied to the annulment of the old aeon of law, which is sin’s strength. Many interpreters are puzzled by the presence of “the law” in a passage where the law would seen to have no relevancy if it were removed at the cross. Nevertheless, the law is in verse 56, and Paul sees its annulment in connection with the consummation of the age very much a part of the defeat of sin and death.

If sin, death and the law are, in Paul’s treatment of salvation-history, interlocking realities, how can these powers be defeated in Christ’s death and still remain to be defeated in the 70 AD consummation of the age?

However, if one already is free from the strength of sin (the law), and from the sting of death (sin), where is death’s power? For Paul, death is abolished when the state of sin and the law are abolished. The state of sin, the law, and consequently death are abolished when the old Covenant aeon is consummated, giving place to the New Covenant aeon of life and righteousness.”

Did the Second Coming affect everyone, both the save and unsaved? Did the Kingdom only come for a certain group of people or everyone? Was the judgment for everyone? Did the passing of the law and the destruction of death affect everyone? If we are living in the results of promises made to the fist century Christians, then the law, sin, death, Satan (the devil) no longer exists.

One may ask “Why is there evil in the world?” The answer is very easy. It is because of our own desires. We always want to blame someone else for our problems. That is why we want to hang on to the existence of Satan. We do not want to have personal responsibility for our actions. The world keeps telling us the reason we act the way we do is, because of experiences in our childhood or parents mistreated us, or we had some terrible event happen while we were young and it has affect us. There are some that even blame God for the pickle they are in. How fast we forget what James says in James 1:13-14.

“When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.”

We just do not realize that our beliefs have consequence. Our ideas affect our beliefs and also the way we view ourselves.

Our reason for living is found Revelation 5:9-10. This text is talking about us today.

“..You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

In the Summer 2006 issue of Fulfilled Magazine, Samuel Front said that God created evil and that evil was in the world before the fall of Adam and Eve. Here are some problems with this. Calvinist believes that man has a "sinful nature", what kind of nature did Adam and Eve have before the fall? What caused Adam and Eve to eat the fruit? How can Adam and Eve have a "sinful nature" before knowing or having knowledge of good and evil? If all man has a "sinful nature" is it past down after a person is born? Does that make a new born baby lost, because of their "sinful nature"?

Please read: If Satan and the demons have been cast into the Lake of Fire: John Noe says, "I maintain that Satan's being cast into the "lake of fire" does not necessitate his being annihilated or rendered inoperative in the lives and affairs of humankind." Bro. Noe, what do you do with 1 John 3:4-9. Did Jesus do this or not? If He did, but it didn't last, then Satan is more powerful that God. If He did this and it lasted, then what power does have today? Did Jesus "appeared to destroy the Devil's work" or did he fail? Being a Calvinist, I'll ask you the same questions and Bro. Frost. what kind of nature did Adam and Eve have before the fall? What caused Adam and Eve to eat the fruit? How can Adam and Eve have a "sinful nature" before knowing or having knowledge of good and evil?  If all man has a "sinful nature", is it past down after a person is born? Does that make a new born baby lost, because of their "sinful nature"?

APPENDIX 1

Footnote on the name of “Lucifer”.

This name is given to the devil by many denominations today. They quote Isaiah 14:12.

“How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, (Lucifer is used in the KJV), son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!”

They stop there and make their point. The verse is taken out of context. One has to go back to chapter 13 and continue through 14:23 to understand what it is talking about. It is talking about the king of Babylon and its destruction. It tells us that in 13:13, 14 and 14:22. The quote Revelation 12:7-9, which is also taken out of context.

“And there was in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”

The denominations say that this how the origin of the devil started. At the same time they teach that the book of Revelation is all future. If only they would read on.  Verse 10b gives the reason why for this action. To understand this you need to go to Job and read chapters 1-2:7. Satan could go into the presence of God and talk with God face-to-face, as Job chapters 1 and 2 states. You will notice that in the New Testament how the devil could enter people and make them do thing to themselves, not bad thing to other people as people today think. You can notice as the time came closer to 70 AD, the devil tried one more thing to destroy Christianity around 65-70 AD. Satan knew that his time was running out and he was willing to try anything. So Satan knew that his time was short and with one blow “…and he will crush his head...” The final day was upon Satan.    

The Bible says NOTHING on the origin of the Devil. Personally, I really do not wonder about his origin. The big thing is that he is defeated, destroyed and is no more. Where did the devil start? Who really cares, because he is no more?  

Please read the following article about: "The Bible Hell", "What Does The Bible Teach About Hell" or go to the section called "Issues After 70 AD".

hi dear friends! my name is Kaveh. I was born in one of coastal cities in north of Iran. I want to write my autobiography for you. because i think that i can transfer my sentiment you. I hope you judge about it fairly. although it is very shocking for you and your compatriots but I can not hold myself, I think it can prevent some of bitter events in future. but what happen for us? i am 38.i was born in 1970.from my childhood i have been eyewitness some of organized crimes about us(i mean our families, relatives,...)but in that time i could not distinguish and discover them and i was thought that they was a natural phenomena. with passage of times my cognition increase gradually. but what happen for us? in outset I decide to classify some of shocking crimes about us. all of them have performed by some of Satanists: 1-to make blind my father and torture him for years and killing him finally. 2-to madden one of my brothers and sicken him too. In near future he will sacrifice. He was not crazy at all. He was accepted as medical student in Tehran university with excellent score. He was similar others. One of his most problems was his sexual standard. I mean if he had sex with female his faint could recover considerably, but a lot of persons was jealous about our family and they divert realities and declared that he need to psychopath. my parent was very candid and naive. but some of persons in my environment were like as wolf and they increase his faint skillfully. they concentrated all of their efforts for our family frustration by calamities enforcement. They was very filthy, cruel,...in anyway my brother went to psychiatrist .also he was not mad relative other Iranian people, but psychiatrists madden him and they was very fool, ignorant,...in recent years the Satanists sicken him too. I think he will sacrifice soon. 3-to made lost my other brother in war times. His lost still is enigma! he has lost for 25 year. 4-to debase my personality from my childhood by means ignorant persons. 5-to excruciate my mother by different ways through shocking disasters imposition to her. I have hinted some of them above. my mother very kind, tender, candid, hard working,... she had experienced hard times from her childhood. but Satanists impudently continued their filthy schemes about her latter. My brother(2) annoyed my mother a lot. in fact the Satanists tortured my mother. because they was main culprit. They increase my brother nerve faint. My brother was not crazy. He was faint. His faintness was merely because of environment and exogenous factors not other things. i mean because of Satanists presence in our environment. Any way my mother suffered again a lot. in finally the Satanists sicken her too. and she martyred in very pitiful conditions after years. Her martyrdom was very shocking for us.damn to Satanists! 5-to lengthen my marriage trend on pretext to test us!?my marriage trend have prolonged for seven years. when i was studying in Isfahan university(Iran central city)i had received my okay about my marriage with a girl from Kashan (one of desert and central cities in Iran)but it has prolonged for seven years and from that times the Satanists were claimed it clear after my brother sacrifice(2) and from that times i have been eye witness my parent tortures and martyrdom and my brother sicken,...and some of suspicious deaths my kin's too. The Satanists have diverted my marriage to soccer and football game and it is similar to pass of mine field. I guess it continue to 2 years other. I mean after my brother sacrifice. i hope you don't tire from my statements. but why the Satanists have targeted us? It return to far years. Iran had other government previously(kingdom dynasty of pahlavi).Iran have been a lawless and very polluted and tainted country from that times. one of my uncles was monarchist. He was killed and sacrificed in that times by his political opponents or opponent by a designed scenario in that times(55 years ago).he was very young boy. His main killer fled to overseas(perhaps Canada or France)and he was studied in medical course. later years he returned in iran and employed as medical professor. my other uncle complained him. but his complaint didn’t investigate fairly and he retaliated and killed his brother killer. This matter had extensive reflectance in Iranian media.on the other hand iran was ran by mafia bands. This events was first spark in order to form some of calamities about us in later years.but what was other factor? My father was a traditionalist and very naive and candid. He had religious relation with islamist Iranian leader(imam Khomeini) in that times. This factors was main reasons for forming calamities to us later years by Satanists(mafia bands).although the roots of disasters about us return in pahlavi dynasti,but most of them have incarnated in after Islamic revolution.why?some of Satanists have been claiming the roots of them return to my high school career ,other Satanists have been claiming irony me: come on drink tea(it refer to tea ceremony in Hong Kong).any way they said my situation is like as iran revolution(against iran king),…and my marriage performance is similar to moon rising, Iranian leaders rebirth, Iran revolution,…they have concluded that I have to experience some of catastrophe in next years too!?some of them threaten me about my family massacre in future too.i notify you can not discover their schemes easily. because they have satanic power and they perform their filthy plots skillfully. They live anywhere. Some of them have claimed that they are representatives of God. They are very reactionary, filthy,…they claim my parent have natural death and no one blinded my father,... They claim that I am visionary, liar!on the other hand they say that they want to test us! What happen in their filthy brains?they degrade my personality even in recent years on pretext to test me, but as matter of fact they want to continue their filthy schemes skillfully. They despise my personality ,when I was busied in office(commerce ministry) they have sham quarrel one another too in order to performance their filthy scheme.they made unemployed me skillfully. They have not permited me that I can speak with my selected women and they have not allowed me that to marry . they have jealousies with me.they have claimed my parent and one or two of my families were Koran matyres and sacrifices(Koran is muslims sacred books).spit to them .they are very backward,filthy,…they are racist(including of religious and non religious sects).they want every one accept their disgusting ideologies anyway. If one to be liberal and noble,they deprive his right and impose disasters him skillfully.do you observe such persones in your countries?they are monster really.they have incarnated demon and satan on the earth. I want you awaken your conscience. You judge about them.although I abhore to live in iran a lot and I wish to immigrate to overseas as soon as possible,and even I am learning to foreign languages now.in the present situation I have two idea:the performance my marriage with my selected girls or immigrate to overseas.it is not alternative at all considering my situation.i like to work in overseas.i like to work as interpreter or similar jobs.

Dear Brother: I have just read your article on Satan and enjoyed it. One suggestion for a fuller understanding of the origin of Satan is to be found in the excellent book: "Noah's flood, Joshua's long day and Lucifer's fall" by Ralph Woodrow. I strongly commend it. It agrees totally with what you have said. By the way, how is the work on the new translation going? In Christ, Bob

Greetings, Richard! I read your excellent "Does "Satan" Exist Today?" essay and couldn't agree more. He was whipped two thousand years ago. A moment's reflection should reveal that the systematic evil in the world today is not satanic but antichrist. As you wisely point out, it's up to each of us to either obey Him or rebel against Him. Well done! In Christ, Larry

The answer is a straight YES. The devil called Satan does exist. speaking Boldly and with Joy. Day and night for numbers of years wrestling, seeking and finally coming to the truth. I can say from my own personal experience that the "LORD JESUS IS SUPPER" Thank you.
