Satan

Before Satan appears as the tempter of Eden, Lewis Sperry Chafer presents him as a perfect, jewel-covered cherub appointed to guard God’s throne—and undone by the beauty that crowned him.

Writing in the early twentieth century, Chafer builds his case from biblical passages that reach back to creation and look toward a judgment still to come. He reads the prophet’s lament over the King of Tyrus as a portrait of Satan’s first glory: wisdom, beauty and authority, followed by rebellion. Now, Chafer argues, this fallen power works against divine authority and seeks to ensnare humanity; believers must learn to recognize the adversary’s tactics. The question is not only how such a being fell, but how his ancient revolt shapes the struggle of the present. What does Chafer find in the words, “I will be like the Most High”?
