To Satan there is no DEATH!
You are IMMORTAL!
No Golden Calf, Local God, Messiah, Maassiah or MAN, can be GOD!
THIS is HELL, Purgatory!
You either fill your Destiny or return to try again!
Satan was Cast Down among Man, because he alone refused the Orders of GOD,
to Worship Man.
Doesn't make him EVIL.
Quite the contrary, means as in Deu 33, GOD chose HIM to be GODS WEAPON, and
wield GODS WRATH, when NECESSARY!
Because unlike any other, Satan refused to Worship Anything, Except GOD!
Something No "MAN" can ever be, which is why Satan's War Cry is
"I Bow, To No MAN"!
And as such he "ALONE" was given Covenant, even against NATIONS!
