A Dallas Tamil Church Bible Study
 
The goal of this study is to study the enemy that exists who is a defeated foe. He will be eventually pushed into the lake of fire, but until then roars like a lion to devour as many as he can. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil and gave us authority to cast him out of our lives.

Lucifer was an angel
(irj;jhd; xU NjtJhjdhf ,Ue;jhd;)
 
Introduction

In this lesson, we will look at Lucifer, once an anointed Angel.

Lucifer did not fall, but was pushed out of heaven. Subsequently he enters the garden to deceive Adam and Eve. He usurps the authority from Adam and Eve to rule the earth. He becomes the ruler of the earth and the prince of the air. Jesus defeated him on the cross. In Rev 20:10, He will be finally pushed into the lake of fire.
