Thank you, Pastor John, for the reply to my earlier questions. I was curious as to what form Satan took on when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness. In scripture, it mentions just that Satan came to Jesus, but I wonder in what form? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for all that you do for us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Kevin.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The short answer is, I don’t know.\u00a0 But here are a couple of things you might want to think about.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the time of the Temptation, Satan had not yet left his beautiful body to possess Judas’ body.\u00a0 That took place during the last supper:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n John 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26. Jesus answered, \u201cIt\u2019s the one I will give this bit of bread to, after I\u2019ve dipped it.\u201d And when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 27. And after the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, \u201cWhat you do, do quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, during the Temptation, Satan was still in the body with which he was created.\u00a0 He may have had power to appear in various forms, but we are not told that he changed his form to meet with Jesus.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is another one of those questions we’ll have to ask Jesus when he comes.\u00a0 He knows the answer to them all.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for writing,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pastor John<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thank you, Pastor John, for the reply to my earlier questions.
