Who is the devil also called Satan, and where did he come from?

What is he doing now?

How much effect does he have on men and women?

What is he trying to accomplish on the earth, and why?

What will eventually happen to him?

Our only possible hope of finding the answers to these and other questions about the devil is the Bible and with the help of the Holy Spirit of God which has inspired it as a Gift unto us.

As we shall see, the devil is a real being with a real personality and with a real purpose to accomplish.

The first in our series of Bible texts giving information about the devil is Ezekiel 28:11-13.
Here Ezekiel begins with the familiar phrase which tells us that what follows is a message directly from God. “Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God. . . .” Wait a minute!
According to this, the king of Tyrus was in the Garden of Eden, which God prepared for Adam and Eve at the end of creation week.
 When Ezekiel received this message from God, probably in the year 588 BC, Tyre was a city on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The king of Tyrus, therefore, could not possibly have ever been in the Garden of Eden.

The story of the Garden of Eden is given in Genesis 2:8 through 3:24.
There are only four persons mentioned: God, Adam, Eve, and the devil, Satan, who masqueraded as a serpent.
Then, after Adam and Eve had been expelled, God stationed angels to guard the garden.
The king of Tyrus was certainly not there.
What, then, was God talking about in Ezekiel 28 when He said that the king of Tyrus was in the Garden of Eden?

Hebrews 13:2 gives us some insight into this ure. “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”

Angels are a higher order of life than we are, and we see from this text that they have the ability to appear as human beings.

Note*..some are false fallen angels,now known as demons and some are the true angels of God,which he continues to send among us as messengers to his righteousness and the Kingdom of God.

Indeed, angels have the ability to appear as other forms of life also. As we shall see shortly, Satan was originally a holy angel in Heaven and therefore has this ability to imitate other life forms. He masqueraded as a serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Satan, you see, was masquerading as the king of Tyrus.
With this in mind, return to Ezekiel and realize that what is being said is being said directly to the devil himself.
Ezekiel 28:11-19: “Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (the devil), and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God;

Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.” Satan is full of wisdom and exceedingly beautiful.

Actually he is the most beautiful and the most intelligent being that God ever created.
His intelligence might be as much as a thousand times greater than human intelligence.
He was designed so much more smarter than human beings that he is easily able to deceive us...but interestingly his intelligence is destroying him.

Continuing in Ezekiel, “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold.” Satan, the most beautiful being that God ever created, clothed with a robe encrusted with many precious gems, must have really been glorious.

Continuing: “The workmanship of thy taberets and of thy "pipes" was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” Satan is a created being, just as the angels and all mankind are created beings.

Satan surely loves the song of PIPES playing and as the ancient story goes rats would even follow after it's sound.

“Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so.”
Lucifer,was first designed before his fall,to cover the glorious light of God.
He was indeed like a light being and all the angels adored him..for sure this played a part in growing his mind full of pride.

Satan was above all the other angels; his position was second only to that of God Himself.
God created Lucifer who became Satan(meaning his opposer) the most beautiful and most intelligent being in all the universe, but also gave him the highest position.

Ezekiel 28:14
“Thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.”
 Satan could visit throughout the entire universe and was free to come and go in God’s throne room, the holy mountain of God, into the presence of God Himself.

Did God create the devil?
The Bible ,the living word of God,tells us that God is love, that He is meek, gentle, kind, and totally honest and just.

Would a god like this create a devil? Verse 15 says, “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created. . . .” God therefore certainly did not create the devil, but He did create the perfect, holy angel who later became the devil.

How did this transformation come about?
Consider what might happen to a human being if he or she were extremely beautiful.
Consider what might happen if he were not only beautiful, but also highly intelligent.
Consider also what might happen if this person attained a high position in the business world or in politics.
It does not take much imagination to see that he would become intensely proud of his beauty and intelligence.
He would begin to feel superior and would ever desire greater power, wealth, and prestige.
He would become increasingly self-centered and self-seeking as his greed and pride grew.
 
This experience has happened over and over again on the earth to people who were not even the most beautiful or the most intelligent. This is what happened to Satan.

You see, Satan himself was responsible for his transformation into the devil by the development of his pride, greed, arrogance, and self-seeking ambition. The rest of verse 15 says, “till iniquity was found in thee.” God created a perfect, holy angel, and that angel became the devil.

The question is sometimes asked, “Why did God create this angel who became the devil?” When God created beings with free will, He knew that sooner or later one of them would begin to experience pride and selfish ambition just as Satan did.
If God did not allow the free will he not been transformed, but the experience that happened to him would certainly have happened to another angel...as it appears that this was God's testing point.
A trully good creator shouls always test his objects which he creates if he want them to be the very best..to seperate them from the faulty ones. 

God has given us the definition of sin in 1 John 3:4: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
In common parlance a person who breaks a law of the state is called a criminal.
When a person breaks God’s law he is called, not a criminal, but a sinner.
Sin simply means "the breaking the rightful law/s or order commands of God".Which he has given unto everything so that is able to sustain and abide forever connected to him.

Sin broke our "was to be" eternal life connection with GOD.

Christ's great sacrifice was able to mend that rift which was made by Adam which once seperated God from man and man from God.
Now man has a sure chance once again to be re-connected to their creator and forever through Christ alone!
