Is Satan a misunderstood accuser or the ultimate evil? Dive deep into the origins of the devil! --> Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this podcast episode, Charlie and Brian discuss the concept of Satan, delving into its complex evolution through religious traditions, especially within Christianity and Judaism. They explore different interpretations of Satan, including his role as the accuser in the Book of Job, Mastema in the Book of Jubilees, and the later associations with Lucifer. The discussion covers the historical, mythological, and theological shifts in how Satan has been viewed—from a member of the divine council to a malevolent figure associated with evil and deception. The hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing how the figure of Satan has evolved and the significance of questioning these narratives. They also touch on demonology and how societal fears and beliefs shape our understanding of evil.

In this episode, we begin a study of sicknesses, diseases, and demons. Using the scriptures from the bible, they deal with both sicknesses and diseases. In the book of Jubilees, we investigate the origin of demons. John 5:1-9, 14 Sometime later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4] [b] 5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. 14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well. Jubilees 10:1-13 1 And in the third week of this jubilee the unclean demons began to lead astray the children of the sons of Noah, and to make to err and destroy them. 2 And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they told him concerning the demons which were leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons' sons. 3 And he prayed before YAHWEH his Sovereign Ruler and said: 'YAHWEH of the spirits of all flesh, who have shown mercy unto me And have saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood, And have not caused me to perish as You did the sons of perdition; For Your free unmerited pardon has been great towards me, And great has been Your mercy to my soul; Let Your free unmerited pardon be lifted up upon my sons, And let not wicked spirits rule over them Lest they should destroy them from the earth. 4 But do You bless me and my sons, that we may increase and Multiply and replenish the earth. 5 And You know how Your Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day: and as for these spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of your servant, my Sovereign Ruler; for these are malignant, and created in order to destroy. 6 And let them not rule over the spirits of the living; for You alone can exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from henceforth and forevermore.' 7 And YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler bade us to bind all. 8 And the chief of the spirits, Mastema, came and said: 'YAHWEH, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them listen to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of my will on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and leading astray before my judgment, for great is the wickedness of the sons of men.' 9 And He said: Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend into the place of condemnation.' 10 And one of us He commanded that we should teach Noah all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness. 11 And we did according to all His words: all the malignant evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth. 12 And we explained to Noah all the medicines of their diseases, together with their seductions, how he might heal them with herbs of the earth. 13 And Noah wrote down all things in a book as we instructed him concerning every kind of medicine. Thus the evil spirits were precluded from (hurting) the sons of Noah.

The Book Of Jubilees (R.H Charles Translation) Sons Of Jacob Ministries ~~~ The Book Of Jubilees contains the secrets of the times given to Moses, the history of the division of the days of the Torah, the testimony of the events of the years, of their year weeks, festivals of the covenant, and Sabbaths throughout all the years of the world. ~~~ What is the Book of Jubilees? From: Sacred-Texts.com The Book of Jubilees, probably written in the 2nd century B.C.E., is an account of the Biblical history of the world from creation to Moses. It is divided into periods ('Jubilees') of 49 years. For the most part the narrative follows the familiar account in Genesis, but with some additional details such as the names of Adam and Eve's daughters, and an active role for a demonic entity called 'Mastema'. The anonymous author had a preoccupation with calendar reform, and uses Jubilees as a platform for proposing a solar calendar of 364 days and 12 months; this would have been a radical departure from the Jewish Calendar, which is lunar-based. There are also a couple of messianic, apocalyptic passages, although quite a bit less than the Book of Enoch. The only complete version of Jubilees is in Ethiopian, although large fragments in Greek, Latin and Syriac are also known. It is believed that it was originally written in Hebrew. If at times one gets the impression that you are reading a first draft of Genesis, you are in good company. R.H. Charles, the translator, a distinguished academic Biblical scholar, concluded that Jubilees was a version of the Pentateuch, written in Hebrew, parts of which later became incorporated into the earliest Greek version of the Jewish Bible, the Septuagint.

Satanás es uno de los personajes mitológicos menos queridos por los creyentes de las tres religiones abrahamicas, al que, sin embargo, le tienen un respeto profundo. El mito creado sobre este personaje es uno de las mas fascinantes y además muestran como puede evolucionar un mito, a partir de pedazos de otras historias de otras entidades mitológicas que se utilizan como ladrillos para la creación y construcción de este nuevo ser mitológico. Vemos como los conceptos de oponente y acusador, se convierten en el aspecto legal de lo que llega a ser un fiscal, y como en el sistema jurídico espiritual, mas bien celestial de la mitología hebrea, el cargo de fiscal es asignado a un ángel. Vemos como hay ángeles que realizan esa función mirando como ejemplo el cuento de la burra de Balaam. Como errores o incluso maldades cometidas por Dios, son reescritas para culpar a este nuevo personaje. Al que luego se atribuirían todas las iniquidades. Veremos una pequeña lista de demonios parecidos que usualmente son identificados con Satanás, como Belial, Semyazza, Azazel, Mastema, Belcebú. Comparamos las traducciones de diferentes versiones de la biblia, desde las mas populares que son La biblia de Jerusalén, la Reina Valera 1960, la de la Watch Tower, y algunas menos conocidas como Dios Habla Hoy, La Biblia del Jubileo y Nueva Biblia Viva. Vemos mitos e historias en varios libros apócrifos, el libro de Enoc, El Apocalipsis de Abraham, El libro de los Jubileos. Llegando a ver la versión islámica del mito en el Corán.

With the vast majority of what would call the "Old Testament" composed and edited, and with Judea under continual military and political threats from outside, the Jewish theological literature did not simply freeze in place.  In these last few centuries leading into the 1st c. CE, scrolls such as 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Tobit demonstrate that the views of angels, demons, and the roles of these beings in everyday life are very much continuing to be developed. Books: John J.

Jubilees mentions Mastema as the chief of spirits whom Yahuah allowed to have charge over the demons. Who is this? One channel actually claimed it was Gog of Tartaria and we will address and test that. Who was the Angel of Death in Egypt? Not Yahuah nor any of His Holy Angels!

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.Spiritual BeingsCherubim – guardians; winged, composite beings. See Gen 3:24; Exod 25:18; Ezek 9:3 (cp. Ezek 1)Seraphim – worshippers, winged; “burning ones” Only in Isa 6.Angels = messengers (ángelos, Gk; mal'akh, Heb.)Human: 1 Kgs 19:2; Hg 1:13; Mal 2:7, 3:1; Lk 7:24; Acts 12:15 (?); possibly the “messengers” of the 7 churches (Rev 2-3).Supernatural: more common use of the word.Note: We do not become angels when we die (Matt 22).Presented as genderless (or male).Some are named: Gabriel, Michael; also Raphael, Uriel, Jeremiel (OT Apocrypha)Can be good or evil (Matt 22:30, 25:41)Archangels (1 Thess 4:16, Jude 9) = chief angels. 7 in number, though not total agreement.Their mediating work is done, though they will accompany Christ at his returnMere servants (Heb 1:14)!Beware sensationalism.We mustn't worship them (Col 2:18, Rev 19:10).One day we will even judge them (1 Cor 6:3)!Powers, principalities (rulers), celestial beings (dignities, KJV)Eph 6:12 & Col 2:15. Through Christ God is showing his wisdom to the powers (Eph 3:10).Elaborate angelic hierarchies (choirs) in Middle Ages:First sphere:SeraphimCherubimThrones or OphanimSecond sphere:DominionsVirtuesPowers or AuthoritiesThird sphere:Principalities or RulersArchangelAngelsCould they be human beings who are political powers?Perhaps, but then why are they described as being in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12)?Some reason that they are the interior spirits of earthly human authorities, like Walter Wink. This is a clever though (for me) not entirely convincing explanation.In the final analysis, the Bible does not tell us enough about the "powers" to answer our every question to our satisfaction.Demons (daimónion, 63x; daímon, only in Matt 8)One theory holds that these are fallen angels. That is, they were created as neutrally moral beings, but chose to rebel.Another theory hold that they are the offspring of humans and angels (Gen 6). See Jubilees 4:15-22; 1 Enoch 69:4, 106:13-17; 2 Baruch 56:12; CD 2:18.Some early Christians equated demons with the false gods  of idolatry. (See 1 Cor 10.) LXX sometimes translates “idols” as “demons.”Two are possibly alluded to in the O.T.: Lilith (“night hag,” Isa 34:14), and Azazel (Lev 16).Fall of demons thought to have happened before creation (1 Enoch 69:1-15).In Jubilees 10, Noah prays and God imprisons 9/10 of the demons plaguing mankind, but allows 1/10 to continue their evil work under their leader Satan (or Mastema).If evil powers are referred to in Gal 4 and Col 2, Christians should be totally free from their influence. The more we focus on them, the more we “give them power.” We are sternly warned to keep away from the occult (Gal 5:20, Acts 19:19, Exod 22:18, Rev 21:8).Superstition often ascribed disease to demons (as in the apocryphal book of Tobit). In N.T., only Luke 13:10-17 seems to make this association. Demon possession and disease, e.g. epilepsy, are distinguished (Matt 4:24).“Belief in demons and their effect upon mankind increased in Judaism from A.D. 150 to 450.” (ISBE I: 922).Satan = accuser (Hebrew); diabolos – slanderer, accuser (Greek NT and OT LXX)Concept vague in O.T., develops in Intertestamental times, developed in N.T. times.Satan is portrayed as an over-zealous figure, eager to uphold righteousness but excessive in his accusations. He does not appear especially wicked.In the N.T., however, we learn his true identity. He is the father of lies (John 8:44), and the "ancient serpent" (Rev 12).Most likely a fallen angel. Some earthly rulers' demises allude to fall of Satan (Isa 14, Ezek 28).Satan, as C. S. Lewis points out, is really not the opposite of God, but of the (good) archangel Michael.Mentioned only 3x in the OT (Job, Zechariah, and 1 Chronicles).Miscellaneous questionsSpiritual warfare? (Eph 6)Angelic / demonic territories? (Dan 10). The Bible never instructs us to delve into this realm.Prayer cover? (Idea advanced in Peretti's books.) Not substantiated.Are demons associated with specific sins in the N.T.?Undoubtedly Satan works through his minions, since he is never said to be omnipresent (or omniscient). James 1:13-15 allows the connection of the demonic with sin. However...There is no “demon of laziness," "demon of lust," "demon  of anger," etc.Such personifications are imaginative, and lack solid biblical foundation.This view also minimizes our personal responsibility for sin.Do we meet angels (Heb 13)? If we do, we (probably) wouldn't know we were meeting them, so we should be cautious about accepting claims of angelic encountersFurther studyFor a political interpretation of the “powers,” read Walter Wink's interesting series.Billy Graham's book Angels: God's Secret Agents is quite well done.Hear also the podcast on Demon Possession.

Job lost everything because sometimes losing everything that you were once praising God/Yah for is the only way to see if your Faith is Enough to Get You Through and to Keep your Bond With Abba Yah. He sees if we love Him more than our possessions. He checks to see if we stand with Him even if we don't Understand His Will in our Lives at that moment. Yes, The Lord God Almighty/ Abba Yah. Our Creator Tempts us... These temptations, Fiery Darts, being Tried by Fire...this is all done to measure our Spiritual Growth, and to provide a Testimony that will Show Just How Bright You Shine For Abba Yah. People can see your Lights. Enoch 108 Tells us this. 9: Who, since they came into being, longed not after earthly food, but regarded everything as a passing breath, and lived accordingly, and the Lord tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His name. Verses 13-15 are where we learn that we will be come resplendent and..."while the righteous shall be resplendent..." Resplendent means: shining brilliantly : characterized by a glowing splendor This confirms that one, we have an adversaries who are created to tempt us so that we become righteous earing our original bodies, for we were made to shine. This also explains what being a Light to the Gentiles Actually Means. Has anyone ever told you that you glow when you are happy or praising life because Abba Yah is good All the Time? Now that we answered the why, let us look at the word satan in Job. https://www.thelionstares.com/post/true-word-of-yah-the-true-role-of-mastema-satan-the-prince-of-emnity-a-study-of-job --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lions-tares/support
