President Clinton is intelligent. Satan may be intelligent but, because of his pride, he is no longer wise. For this reason, pride can and does lead only to despair, self-destruction, or worse. Pride puffs up your head like a balloon. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction .
Pride goes before destruction , and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It's Biblically okay to have pride, but not in yourself. For in these I delight,'' says the Lord. Instead, Revelation chapter 12 describes events that will take place in the future , as we shall show in a Part 4 of our study of Satan. And there was war in heaven . The mere idea of anyone attempting to defeat God by a contest of strength is absurd to the Nth degree .
