“Thinking themselves wise, they became fools...” -Romans 1:22. I would say, however smart the devil may be, he keeps getting outsmarted by the Almighty. Great article. Very succinct. 👍

Thank you; it struck me as a kind of epiphany that had been percolating for a few decades.

Satan is envious. Satan envys God and wants to be a god. Which is why we have chaos in the world.

Read Milton's PARADISE LOST

("Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven") (Okay, that makes Satan stupid in my book.)

or

Helmut Schoeck's ENVY: A Theory of Social Behavior, to get a good description of the difference between envy and jealousy. Available on Amazon.
