Is Satan Immortal? - Herbert W Armstrong - November 1949

Herbert W Armstrong

The words "immortal" and "immortality" are not used in connection with the devil - indeed "immortal" is used only once in all the Bible (King James version). in I Tim. 1:17 speaking of Christ: and "immortality" five times, saying Christ only of all born human has it, He brought it to light thru the Gospel, we are to seek for it, and if we receive it as God's gift we shall put it on at the resurrection. However, the Scriptures do teach that Satan is immortal. He is a former archangel who occupied high office (Isa. 14:12-14), where he is called "Lucifer" meaning "Shining Star of the Dawn" or "Light Bringer"; and Ezek. 28:12-17 where he is called, as originally created, the anointed "cherub" or archangel that covered the throne of God. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
