I added this thought to my original thoughts and observatons.

Today, July 18, 2014, I pondered the offering of children for sins by pagans. I mentioned to Sue they follow what is natural. We are made in the image of God and God offered His Only Begotten Son for sins. The difference is the offerers are not qualified to offer and the offerings are not adequate for the remission of sins.

Satan is not a creator, he can only pervert what God has created. Thus it seems reasonable that Satan would pervert the sacrifice of God's son and mock it by leading his followers to sacrifice their children, especially when we take into account that God sacrificed his son to save us and our sons.

When do you think Satan realized Jesus was going to die for sins?

Well, that's a good point. The scripture says he had no idea what was happening or he would never have had him crucified. Therefore my first statement is probably completely wrong. LOL

I still however see Satan as the one who perverts. You can see it in everything related to witchcraft.

Satan was trying to mess with the seed of the woman way back in Genesis 3 in the garden. He knew that the woman's seed was going to crush his skull back then.

Then when Herod ordered all the male children under two years old murdered, it was an attempt to rid the world of the promised seed.

Knowing something and being able to do something about it don't always go hand in hand.

That's true Keith. Satan knew it was coming and even likely that Jesus was the one, he just didn't understand the plan of the cross. Satan had likely had many other prophets killed before, thinking they may be the One.

All of the devils that had indwelt people during Jesus' public ministry recognized who He was and called Him names befitting deity.

Mark 1:24 -- I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Luke 4:34 -- I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

You can bet if the minions of the devil knew who Jesus Christ was, Satan himself knew as well.

But let us glorify the Living, Risen Son of Almighty God, Jesus Christ the coming King of kings and Lord of lords, the captain of our salvation, Jesus Christ the righteous, and give no place unto the devil, other than the place he has coming -- an eternal, burning lake of fire!
