The darkness must keep denigrating the light, or it will lose its fans, or it will not be able to give an account to its fans.
If you were asked to define the word "devil", what would you think of, and how would you conceive it and give it an appropriate interpretation?
In the Bible, the word "Satan" is used to explain the multiple meanings of the devil. Consider making a comparison to see the difference between the devil you think of and the devil as defined in the Bible.
1. Killing and lying. In the Bible, there are different definitions of Satan (the devil) in different places. In the New Testament, the Gospel of John, Jesus spoke of two characteristics of the devil: violence and lies. In Jesus' own words, "He was a murderer at first" and "He was a liar." This is an interpretation of the "devil".
2. Hostility and resistance. Satan most often means that:"The meaning of "adversary" and "resistant". What, then, does Satan oppose and resist? Of course, it is God and God's will, and this meaning is not difficult to understand, Satan, as the representative of the ** force, is naturally opposed to God.
3. Tempting people. In the Bible, the devil also means "tempter," and he tried to tempt Jesus. In the New Testament Gospel of Matthew, the devil is called "tempter," and it is described: "Then the tempter came and said to him, 'If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.'" This was a temptation of Satan against Jesus in the wilderness.
4. Accusers. Now, I'm going to talk about another meaning of the word Satan, which is related to the title of this article, and that's that Satan also means "accuser" in the Bible. Who, then, is the devil accusing and what is he accusing?
Satan rebelled against God's fallen angels, and is also the source of ** and sin, Satan is called the "accuser of the brethren", he has been accusing, slandering and slandering God's chosen people, that is, God's believers, Satan's purpose is to hinder God's will, ** human beings sin, turn them away from God, and eventually sink with him.
There are some ** references to Satan's accusations in the Bible, such as:
The Book of JobIn chapters 1 and 2, Satan challenges Job's faith by saying that he fears God only because of His blessings.
And it came to pass one day, that the sons of God came and stood before the LORD, and Satan came in the midst of it. Jehovah asked Satan, "Where did you come from?" Satan replied:"I walked up and down from the ground, back and forth. Jehovah asked Satan, "Have you searched my servant Job with your heart?" There is no one on earth like him who is perfect upright, who fears God and who is far from evil. Satan answered the Lord, "Is it for nothing that Job fears God?" Hast thou not put a hedge round about him, and about his house, and about all that he has? and the work of his hands has been blessed by thee; and his possessions multiplied on the earth. and if you stretch out your hand and destroy all that he has, he will forsake you to your face. ”God allowed Satan to test Job, but limited his power. Although Job suffered great loss and suffering, he still insisted on trusting God and did not curse God.
ZechariahIn chapter 3, Satan stands at the right hand of God and accuses Joshua the high priest. The angel of God rebuked Satan and said:
"Satan, the Lord rebukes you! Jehovah, who chose Jerusalem, rebukes you! Isn't this a piece of wood drawn out of the fire? ”God forgave Joshua's sins and changed him into clean clothes so that he could serve God.
The Book of RevelationIn chapter 12, Satan is described as "the serpent of old, the devil, also called Satan, who deceives the whole world." He fought against the angels of God, was thrown to the earth, and could no longer enter heaven. And a loud voice from heaven said:
"Our God's salvation, power, kingdom, and authority have now come! For he who accuses us of our brothers day and night before our God has been thrown down. ”From **, we can know that Satan's accusations are unreasonable, vicious, and repeatedly defeated, however, Satan's accusations have not stopped, and this accusation mainly includes the following aspects: slander, slander, and false accusation. The question is, why does the devil keep accusing God's chosen people?
Satan's accusations and slander against the elect are an attempt to discredit and tarnish the reputation of God's people in order to resist God's will, undermine God's plan, and prevent the expansion of God's kingdom. In order to achieve one goal, he constantly slandered and slandered God's followers so that they would all go to hell because of their sins, so that Jesus said that Satan "was a murderer in the beginning."
Just as the devil accuses the elect, so darkness will inevitably accuse and denigrate the light. "Darkness" here is a symbol of those **, false, and false things, while "light" is a representative of truth, goodness and beauty.
Darkness is fear and despair, ignorance and ignorance, sin and depravity. However, for others, darkness is mysterious and **, depraved and happy, indulgent and happy, organic and profitable, convenient for making horror, convenient for dark box operation, in short, darkness has great interests, power and enjoyment, therefore, darkness also has its own admirers and countless fans.
In order to maintain its power, interests, and influence, the darkness needs to constantly denigrate the light. The darkness denigrates the light in a variety of ways, sometimes attacking the value of the light, sometimes questioning the meaning of the light, sometimes discrediting the image of the light, and sometimes even denying the existence of the light.
The dark Ones know that once they stop denigrating the Light, the ideas they advocate may expose their inner hollowness and vulnerability. When the value of light is widely accepted and illuminates people's hearts, darkness loses the soil on which it depends. In other words, the existential logic of darkness lies in the continuous denial of light, by creating antagonism and confusion to consolidate one's position, and at the same time to prove one's own correctness and superiority.
The darkness must constantly denigrate the light in order to give its own fan base a reason to continue following, or they may turn to the search for a true way out and embrace the power of the light. For Darkness, this is not only a means to maintain its influence, but also a necessary action to "account" to its fans. In order to prevent fans from seeing through the truth of darkness and the value of light, Darkness will do everything to slander and attack Light.
So, what will happen to the dark endeavors? In the kingdom of light, the efforts of darkness may succeed for a short time, but they are doomed to failure. However, in a dark world, the efforts of darkness are often victorious, and even ultimately victorious. Fans of darkness, in fact, they themselves are also victims of darkness, but they were defeated by human nature, their own sins, and the ** of darkness, and finally chose the forces of darkness, so that the day of the ending sank with the darkness.
