Hi John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been listening to the Matthew tape, and had some questions about Satan\u200b \u200band his knowledge.\u200b \u200b When did \u200bSatan<\/strong> know that Jesus was indeed God\u2019s \u200bS\u200bon<\/strong>.\u200b\u00a0 \u200bWhen Satan and Jesus were in the desert for the 40 days, at that time Satan\u200b \u200bthought Jesus was a son of God, and he was\u200b,\u200b too?<\/span><\/p>\n

Love learning the truth!\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Patty\u200b!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Everybody in heaven knew that Jesus was a son of God, including Satan.\u00a0 The angels spoke of Jesus as a son of God the night the baby Jesus was born (Luke 2).\u00a0 So, Satan knew that Jesus was a son of God, but he thought he was an even greater son of God than Jesus was.\u00a0 “The Son of God” was also a phrase of very great esteem which the Jews used in reference to their longed-for Messiah, and those who believed on Jesus would have, and did, call him that (Mt. 16).\u00a0 At the same time, I don’t believe that Satan understands, even to this minute, what Jesus being THE Son of God truly means.\u00a0 And though the Jewish people used that title in reference to the Messiah, they did not understand what God’s Messiah would do or what kind of person he would really be.\u00a0 So, “the Son of God” remained a mystery to them, too, except for the Jews who received the holy Ghost and by it, began to understand the things of the kingdom of God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Good questions!\u00a0 Thank you.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
