Here is someones "biblical" claim for the characteristics of Satan:  >This is probably the portion of Scripture that you were talking about, Isaiah 14:12-15. >This does speak of the "morning star" which, according to you is the >Babylonian prince.  OK, so I turn your attention to Daniel 10:12-14.  This passage >concerns a revelation of prophecy to Daniel by the messenger from God.  Within >this passage, the messenger from God speaks of how he fought for 3 weeks  >against the Prince of the Persian Kingdom.  Obviously, this prince was not an earthly >prince.  This prince of the Persian kingdom is probably one of the demons >in Satan's hierarchy.  As such, the morning star can be the prince of Babylon w >ho can also be Satan.  Another passage concerning Satan's fall from heaven is  >Ezekiel 28:12-19.  And separately:  >devil chose to try to become greater than God. >he wanted to sit on God's throne. >when the devil was created, he was one of the most beautiful angels in heaven.  We have here three distinct claims concerning the results of the devil's decision making, a specific desire, and a physical description.  Now, in support (aside from the minor detail that an author seldom writes an unbiased account of the opposition) we see:  >Isaiah 14:12-15  ISA 14:12  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  ISA 14:13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend  into                                               -------------------- heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit ----------------------------------------------------- also upon the mount of the congregation,  in  the  sides  of the north:  ISA 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I  will be like the most High.  ISA 14:15  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to  the  sides of the pit.   Doesn't say sits on God's throne.  Says will exhault throne above the stars.  >Daniel 10:12-14  DAN 10:12  Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for  from the first  day  that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard,  and  I am come for thy words.  DAN 10:13  But the prince of the kingdom of Persia  withstood me                     ------------------------------ one  and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes,                                         ------------------------ came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.  DAN 10:14  Now I am come to make thee understand what  shall be- fall  thy  people  in  the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.   See who is being discussed?   >Ezekiel 28:12-19  EZE 28:12  Son of man, take up a lamentation  upon  the  king of                                                      ----------- Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up ----- the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.  EZE 28:13  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;  every  pre- cious  stone  was  thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the dia- mond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the em- erald,  and  the  carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy ta- brets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that  thou wast created.  EZE 28:14  Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set  thee  so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  EZE 28:15  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day  that  thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.  EZE 28:16  By the multitude of thy merchandise they  have  filled the  midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain  of  God:  and  I will  destroy  thee,  O  covering  cherub,  from the midst of the stones of fire.  EZE 28:17  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,  thou hast  corrupted  thy  wisdom  by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that  they may behold thee.  EZE 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst  of  thee,  it  shall  devour thee,  and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.  EZE 28:19  All they that know thee among the people shall be as- tonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
