(Matthew 26: 57-68)

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,  And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? (Matthew 26: 57-68)

Jesus' crucifixion was blasphemy. In Leviticus 24:16『And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.』, 『Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.』 When the Jews heard what Jesus said, they accused Jesus of blasphemy. Blasphemy can be like God.
Revelation 20: 2『And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 』 Who is Satan? You must know Satan exactly. Humans think that the snake is Satan, and the one behind it is Satan.

The Hebrew word for Satan means antagonist, or accuser. It is the first person who is against God. From the Bible, you can deduce what Satan is by referring to the name in Ezekiel or Isaiah 14 as "Satanic satire". When the title of "the one who opposes God" is used as a proper noun, it is called like the name of Satan. Jesus is calling him Satan. Regarding the name of Satan, Lucifer is usually called Satan's name, and in the process of translating the Hebrew Scriptures into Latin, he became Lucifer while translating the Hebrew Hellel (shiny star), so it is wrong to say Satan as Lucifer.

Many people know that Satan's name is Lucifer because he translated the commandment (the word Hellel) from Isaiah 14 into Lucifer. Satan's name is not Lucifer, but just Satan. God has never given Satan a special name. By the way, Jesus said Satan as the title, and Jesus used the name Satan, so the one who opposes God was used as Satan. The snake is said to be Satan in Revelation, but why is the snake Satan? Snakes are snakes or are they Satan?

Satan is to receive the thoughts of those who oppose God, and "the ones who move the thoughts and words of the opposers" become the same. Satan gave the serpent all his words and thoughts. So the serpent went to Eve and took all the thoughts and words Satan had given. That is why the snake becomes Satan. Where to apply that logic, Jesus asks Peter and his disciples in Matthew 16.『Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?』 The disciples answered

『they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.』 ,『Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.』

So Jesus praised Peter『I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.』 Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Jesus taught as soon as he did so.『From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 』. 『Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 』 Peter says, "Never do that.",『Jesus turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan』

Is Peter Satan? Peter is not Satan. However, in Peter, Satan gives his thoughts and his words to Peter, so that Peter can speak. Then Jesus said to Peter, "Satan." Who is Satan?

At its root, Satan is an opponent of God in the kingdom of God. The one who opposes God gives the heart to people, and all who do it become Satan. Satan enters people. He also went to Judas, who sold Jesus, to sell Judas to Jesus. Satan can seduce Eve by speaking to the serpent.

However, the phrase "a serpent seduced Eve" is from Genesis 2-3. It was said to be "to explain the events of the kingdom of God through the facts on the earth." The Bible is explained through the Garden of Eden. All human beings were angels who were in the kingdom of God, who abandoned God's dwelling place and put on the house of the flesh, and were forced to die. That is because Eve, the angels who are members of Jesus Christ, fell into the temptations of Satan.

God made Eve from Adam, and Eve was tempted by Satan and ate "the fruit of the tree that knows good and evil." This means that Jesus Christ came into the world because the church (angel), a member of Jesus Christ, ate it. Satan includes "everyone who communicates Satan's thoughts." The serpent, Judas, who sold Jesus, and Peter, the disciple of Jesus, are said to be Satan. It can be said that the angel who opposes God is Satan, and that all who have the thoughts and will of the angel are Satan.

What were the thoughts of Satan against God? Today's church people don't know exactly. God explained the incident in the Bible, but people say that the explanation is not about Satan. Jesus told Peter to go back, Satan, how is Peter Satan? If you think so, is Jesus wrong? Jesus is speaking to Satan who gave thoughts and gave them thoughts behind Peter.

 There is a Scripture passage that can be deduced from "Who is Satan?" Through the words in Isaiah 14: 12–14 and the words in Ezekiel 28: 1–2, there are those who believe in the origin of Satan. However, others say that Isaiah 14 is a parable of the king of Babylon, Ezekiel 28 is a reproof and parable of the king of Tyre, not a word applicable to Satan.

For example, in Genesis, God said that trees that know good and evil die when they eat the fruit. People say that when they eat the fruit of a tree that knows good and evil, they develop the ability to judge good and evil.

God didn't say it, but people are saying it. God is said to be a dead tree, but humans think it is a tree that can discern good and evil. It is said that if you eat it, you will leave God, and humans say you have the power to know good and evil. Who is right?People do not know exactly what the Bible says, but speak according to their own thoughts.

Matthew 2:7-11

(Matthew 2:7-11) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.   When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. In ancient times, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were mainly offerings to kings or gods. Biblical scholars say, "In 243 BC, the offerings of Seleucus II Callinicus dedicated to the Temple of Apollo in Miletus included gold, fra...

Matthew 2:1-6

  (Matthew 2:1-6) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,   Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (Matthew 2:1-6) Jesus came down to the earth according to the prophecy of the Old Testament 『 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler ...

Matthew 2:12-15

(Matthew 2:12-15) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. "It might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." The prophet quoted by Matthew is Hosea. In Hosea 11:1 My son means a young Israeli community. It is to tell how God called the Israelites from Egypt in the past to "Israel apostate through Baal." “ Called ou...
