Who is our Enemy?

​Yahuah made the world, He made everything beautiful. The first people were very happy!

​But now many things are not beautiful, and people are often unhappy. There is lying, stealing, hatred, and fighting in the world today. There is sickness, sadness, and death.

An enemy brought sin into the world. Sin ruined God’s beautiful world.

​

​What happened?

His name is Satan! He is also called the devil. He hates God, and he hates us too.

​

​Who is this enemy who brought sin into the world?

From the Bible we learn that Satan was created as a beautiful angel named “Lucifer.”

​

​Where did Satan came from?

He was the wisest, the most beautiful, and the most powerful angel that God ever created.

​

For some time after Lucifer was created, he loved God and obeyed Him perfectly.

​

But pride entered his heart, and he sinned against God.

​

Lucifer decided that there was no one so beautiful as he, no one so wise as he, no one so powerful as he, no one so great as he. Therefore he decided that he should be God. He rebelled against Yahuah and said in his heart,

​

"I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…I will be like the most High [Yahuah]"

(Isaiah 14:13-14).

​A great change took place in Lucifer’s heart when he sinned. Before this time, he loved God and wanted to obey Him. But after he rebelled, he loved himself and wanted to have his own way.
