The devil??

edited December 1969 in Faith Issues

Hello Everyone,

I have had this question on my mind for a while... I was just wondering where does it say the story of how the devil came about? The fact that he was an angel and because of his jealousy he then became the devil?

Thanks and God Bless
:-)

  • This is found in Isaiah 14:12-20

    12"How you are fallen from heaven,
      O Day Star, son of Dawn!
    How you are cut down to the ground,
      you who laid the nations low!
    13You said in your heart,
      I will ascend to heaven;
    above the stars of God
      I will set my throne on high;
    I will sit on the mount of assembly
      in the far reaches of the north;
    14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
      I will make myself like the Most High.'
    15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
      to the far reaches of the pit.
    16Those who see you will stare at you
      and ponder over you:
    'Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
      who shook kingdoms,
    17who made the world like a desert
      and overthrew its cities,
      who did not let his prisoners go home?'
    18All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
      each in his own tomb;
    19but you are cast out, away from your grave,
      like a loathed branch,
      clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
      who go down to the stones of the pit,
      like a dead body trampled underfoot.
    20You will not be joined with them in burial,
      because you have destroyed your land,
      you have slain your people.
