KNOW YOUR ENEMY!
SATAN’S ORIGIN
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star,
son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the
earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in
your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my
throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on
the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the
sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the
clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
Isaiah 14:12-14
