does satan know the bible?

Yes, better than some of us, but does not believe it.

Satan; as you probably know from verses such as Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 was a Cherub; and acquainted with worship involving music as his talent inbred; as it were by God. He would have been one of the "sons of God" mentioned in Job before he fell; glorifying God when the earth was created. Of course Satan's own conversation quoting scriptures during the temptation after Christ had fasted 40 days in the wilderness; not to mention the things that he himself said in Genesis are recorded in the Bible. Satan is; after all "the accuser of the saints"; therefore as he accused the High Priest Joshua and the angel had to say "the Lord rebuke you"; as well as when Jude brings out the proper approach in this manner when opposing these evil principalities means we are to take our adversary seriously. Satan possessed Judas Iscariot directly when Jesus addressed him "what you do; do quickly". He also will be controlling Antichrist who is possessed by the demon from the pit; and in order to gain worship for himself will have the image of himself worshipped. Again; he knows his own doom; as surely the demons did when asking Jesus if he was sending them "before the time" to the bottomless pit. Satan has to obtain permission from God; and of course has his minions under him; who will be cast out when 1/3 of the angels fight Michael and lose. Surely Satan knows his doom; although he is apparently insane; trying everything to destroy us "accusing us day and night" (Revelation). He prowls like a "roaring lion; seeking who he may devour" (James). He is working with principalities ruling over nations; and knows that his hold over death is defeated; as now those in Christ go to be with him directly "to be absent from the body is present with the Lord." There is no longer a hold in Hades for the righteous; and Christ's victory was declared there after he died. Satan knows the Word and the twisting of it for his gain is his greatest weapon.

Yes. Absolutely. Satan quoted scripture to Jesus word for word as temptation. I believe in the book of Matthew if not others.

Satan is a fallen angel who knew more about heaven than we do. He was jealous and wanted the powers and glory of God for himself. He possesses biblical knowledge in which he can use to bring disruption and sin into our lives.

Many today are familiar with scripture but do not serve God. Some biblical scholars have even turned atheist or similar due to the lies of Satan.

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart! The word is living and remains true.

God Bless!

Satan knows the Bible but he doesn't believe nor understand it. Even as Christ spoke His words in parable those of the world (including Satan) knew the words...but didn't understand. Not due to lack of wisdom but ignorance in lack of belief.

John 1:5

"And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
