សាសនាគ្រីស្ទ

ជាធម្មតា សាតាំងត្រូវបានគេស្គាល់ថាជាសត្វពស់ ដែលបានល្បួងនាងអេវ៉ា ឲ្យហូបផ្លែឈើដែលព្រះបានហាមមិនឲ្យហូប[៣៥] ដូច្នេះសាតាំងតែងតែត្រូវបានពិពណ៌នាថាជាសត្វពស់។ យើងអាចឃើញនូវការយល់ស្របគ្នារបស់គ្រីស្ទាន ចំពោះរឿងរនេះ នៅក្នុងស្នាដៃរបស់ Justin Martyr, ជំពូក ៤៥ និង ៧៩ នៅក្នុងការសន្ទនាជាមួយTrypho, ដែល Justin ប្រដូចសាតាំងនឹងសត្វពស់។[៣៦] ក្រុមជំនុំដើមដំបូងពីមុនៗផ្សេងទៀតក៏បានលើកឡើងអំពីកំណត់សម្គាល់នេះដែរ មានដូចជា Theophilus និង Tertullian។[៣៧]

ចាប់តាំងពីសតវត្សទី៤ លូស៊ីហ៊្វើ (Lucifer) ជួនកាល ត្រូវបានប្រើនៅក្នុងទេវវិទ្យាគ្រីស្ទាន សំដៅលើសាតាំង, ដែលគេស្គាល់តាមរយៈកណ្ឌគម្ពីរអេសាយ ១៤:១២ និយាយអំពីផ្កាយព្រឹកដែលធ្លាក់ចុះពីស្ថានសួគ៌។

ចំពោះគ្រីស្ទានជាច្រើន ជឿថាសាតាំងគឺជាទូតសួគ៌មួយរូប ដែលបានបះបោលប្រឆាំងនឹងព្រះ។ នៅក្នុងព្រះគម្ពីរសញ្ញាថ្មី សាតាំងត្រូវបានហៅថា "មេអារក្ស" "មេគ្រប់គ្រងនៃពិភពលោក", និងត្រូវបានហៅថា "ព្រះនៃពិភពលោកនេះ" កណ្ឌគម្ពីរវិវរណៈពិពណ៌នាអំពីរបៀបដែលសាតាំងត្រូវបានបណ្ដេញចេញពីស្ថានសួគ៌ ទាំងមានកំហឹងយ៉ាងខ្លាំង ព្រមទាំងបានធ្វើសង្គ្រាមប្រឆាំងនឹងពួកអ្នកដែលស្ដាប់តាមបទបញ្ជារបស់ព្រះទៀតផង។ ទីបំផុត សាតាំងនឹងត្រូវបោះទៅក្នុងបឹងភ្លើង[៣៨]

ក្រុមជំនុំគ្រីស្ទានពីមុន បានទទួលនូវការប្រឆាំងពីពួកដែលមិនជឿងព្រះ ដូចជាពួក Celsus ជាដើម ដែលបានអះអាងថា "ការដែលនិយាយថាព្រះដ៏ធំឧត្ដមបំផុត មានសត្រូវមួយដែលរារាំងសមត្ថភាពរបស់ព្រះអង្គមិនឲ្យធ្វើល្អ ជាការប្រមាថដល់ព្រះ" ហើយថាគ្រីស្ទាន "បែងចែកអាណាចក្ររបស់ព្រះ ដោយបង្កើតឲ្យមានការបះបោរនៅក្នុងអាណាចក្ររបស់ព្រះ ដែលហាក់បីដូចជាមានក្រុមប្រឆាំង នៅក្នុងចំណោមអង្គស្ថានសួគ៌ រួមទាំងម្នាក់ដែលជាសត្រូវនឹងព្រះទៀតផង"[៣៩]

រូបភាពបង្ហាញពីការធ្លាក់ចុះរបស់លូស៊ីហ៊្វើ និងការវិវឌ្ឍន៍កាន់តែអាក្រក់របស់វា ទៅជាសាតាំង គូរដោយ Gustave Doré ក្នុងឆ្នាំ ១៨៨៦ (Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré, (1886) showing Lucifer's descent and his deterioration into Satan)

V. 4]; xi. 14, 23, 25), from which use is developed the concept of a traitor in battle (I Sam. xxix. 4); (2) to an accuser before the judgment-seat (Ps. cix. 6); and (3) to any opponent (II Sam. xix. 23 [A. V. 22]). The word is likewise used to denote an antagonist who puts obstacles in the way, as in Num. xxii. 32, where the angel of God is described as opposing Balaam in the guise of a satan or adversary; so that the concept of Satan as a distinct being was not then known."
