The ultimate adversary — from accusing people before God in Job to being cast down in Revelation
Also known as The Devil, The Accuser, The Evil One, Beelzebul, the serpent
A spiritual being who appears throughout Scripture as the primary opponent of God and humanity. In Job, he's the accuser who challenges Job's faith before God's throne. In the Gospels, he tempts Jesus in the wilderness. In the letters, he's described as a 'roaring lion' seeking to devour believers. Revelation describes his final defeat. The name means 'adversary' in Hebrew.
