“We need to be aware of satanic influences in the teachers we follow, and do not tolerate them. They subtly twist God’s word, as we have seen satan himself do. Satan is nothing if not pragmatic, he does what works.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Do you know how many times the Bible records when satan actually spoke to someone, and his words were recorded?
Three times.
He is a dominating figure and an overarching theme in the Bible, but for all that, this fallen angel only spoke three times that the Bible records.
Let’s take a look.
We all think immediately of the dramatic moment in Genesis 3:1-4, satan in the guise of the serpent speaks to Eve.
In Job 1:7, 9–11; Job 2:2, 4–5 satan speaks to God.
In Matthew 4:3, 6, 9 satan tempts Jesus while He is in the wilderness.
We know about satan from Isaiah 14 that Isaiah records satan’s inner desires, and from Ezekiel we see why Lucifer fell. We also know that Jesus said that satan spoke to Him regarding a request to sift Peter. But satan’s actual words bear looking at.
