An introduction...
The dragon or the snake is the devil and Satan (Revelation 20:2). Satan has authority (Acts 26:18), congregation, throne and dwelling (Revelation 2:9, 13). There is an angel of Satan (Acts 12:7). Satan transfigures himself into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). Satan binds (Luke 13:16), covets (2 Corinthians 2:11). Satan enters into man (Luke 22:3, John 13:27), fills heart (Acts 5:3). Satan hinders (1 Thessalonians 2:18), tempts (Mark 1:13, 1 Corinthians 7:5), sifts (Luke 22:31), casts out (Matthew 12:26; Mark 3:23). Satan takes the Word of God (Mark 4:15).
The devil is an oppressor of men (Acts 10:38). The devil has children (Acts 13:10). The devil has methods (Ephesians 6:11) and trap (1 Timothy 3:7; 2 Timothy 2:26). The devil has the might of death (Hebrews 2:14). The devil is like a lion (1 Peter 5:8). The person who does sin is from the devil (1 John 3:8). The devil has children (1 John 3:10). The devil casts out (Revelation 2:10). The devil was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur (Revelation 20:10).
The devil is the ruler of the world - Matthew 4:8-9; Luke 4:6-7.
... to be able to know the Devil or Satan - the enemy of God.

Thanks for introducing Satan. So Satan takes away the Word of God and he enters into the heart. No wonder there are many evil people in the world. And he's very powerful and tricky. We must be wise also to overcome him.

So it is the devil who oppress people. And he owns this world. No wonder, many people are evil and we live in the world of evil. I hope that God will help us to overcome the enemy of God reigning in this world.

Amen! and he's "the father of lies".. This poor planet is covered with untruth like a gird.. or a heavy wet quilt set low in the atmosphere.. and from what heights he fell, having been one of God's higher angels.. I used to wonder why God only created man and woman and the universe after the first (actually, bound-to-occur) rebel thought not only occurred, but had fully ripened into outright revolt and trickery - it was so all (man and angels) would take this bound-to-occur journey away from Perfection/God/Life together.. For after rationality was endowed a whole new world/tree of possibilities 'came to be' - and that's where we are now, because of the first rebel...

The devil uses those that are easy to influence. Those that are not following God and confused are the ones Satan use to do his acts. We should all rise up to Satan's tricks.

I have seen a devil. His finger nails are sharp and long. He has a tail. He can fly. He also have two horn. He is black. He mocks you and his voice echoes, only your conscience can hear him. He seduce and molest his victim. His eyes can hypnotize a person. It is so powerful that you fall into his power.
