The Book of Revelation — Unveiling Who Created Satan, Where He Dwells, Why He Exists, and How His End Was Declared From the Beginning.
Book of Revelation: By Carl Timothy Wray
Book of Revelation: Introduction —
The Great Divide Between Babylon’s Lie and Zion’s Light
Babylon has filled the airwaves with confusion. Search “Who is Satan?” on Google and you’ll find a thousand opinions — each one echoing the same corrupted fable: a glorious angel named Lucifer who once ruled heaven, rebelled against God, and was cast down into an underworld he now governs.
But the Word of God says nothing of the sort. The Scriptures never identify Satan as a fallen angel, never grant him rulership of hell, and never portray him as an eternal rival to God. Babylon has built her empire on a myth, while the Word of God stands in blazing clarity.
The serpent was created by God. He was evil from the beginning (John 8:44), confined to the dust realm of the carnal mind (Genesis 3:14), and destined to be overcome, conquered, and consumed by the glory of the Lamb (Revelation 20:10).
This is not the story of a rebellion in heaven — it is the revelation of divine order in the earth. The adversary was never outside God’s purpose; he was created for it. His every word, every movement, and every deception have only served the unfolding plan of God, that the works of the Lord might be made manifest and the sons of God might learn to rule.
Babylon interprets Satan to frighten the nations.
Zion reveals Satan to free them.
This scroll is written to close the mouths of confusion, to silence the babble of Babylon, and to unveil the full counsel of God concerning the adversary — who created him, where he lives, what he is, why he exists, and what his end shall be.
Every lie will bow before the Truth. Every shadow will vanish in the brightness of His appearing. The serpent’s tale ends where it began — beneath the heel of the Seed. And as the veil lifts and Babylon’s lies are consumed, the Spirit of Truth unveils the adversary’s end and the triumph of the sons in the Book of Revelation.
Chapter 1 — The Confusion of Babylon and the Clarity of Zion
The Voice of Confusion
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit.” — Revelation 18 :2
Babylon speaks in half-truths. Her preachers echo what her search engines preach—“Who is Satan?”—and every answer is another brick in her tower of confusion. They say he is a fallen angel named Lucifer, that he reigns in fire, that he wars from a throne of darkness and torments the lost forever.
Yet none of this is written in the Word.
It is religious folklore, born of fear, handed down through systems drunk on the wine of misinterpretation.
Babylon’s theology magnifies the adversary; Zion’s revelation unveils his defeat.
The Witness of Truth
“The serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.” — Genesis 3 :1
“He was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.” — John 8 :44
God Himself created the serpent. He was never a fallen prince of heaven; he was a creature of the field, confined to dust from the start.
When Babylon reads Isaiah 14, she imagines the devil’s biography. But the Word says, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble?”—a proud man, not a spirit cast from heaven.
The true adversary is the spirit of this world, the carnal mind, the dust realm where rebellion breathes. His synagogue is in fleshly thought; his throne is self-will. He whispers through pride, reason, and religion—every place that resists the voice of God.
Zion reads the same Scriptures and sees purpose: the adversary exists only so light may overcome darkness and sons may learn dominion. Thus the mystery of who created the serpent is revealed by the Word Himself, shining from Genesis to glory in the Book of Revelation.
Declaration
“The confusion of Babylon is finished!
The serpent’s story belongs to Genesis, not heaven.
His world is dust, his weapon is deceit, his end is fire.
Zion’s light has risen, and the lie has lost its tongue.
The Lord God reigns, and the sons discern the adversary from afar.”
Call to Action
Expose the Mixture. Test every teaching that glorifies the devil more than the Creator.
Return to the Word. Let Genesis 3 :1–15 and John 8 :44 define your doctrine, not Babylon’s commentary.
Stand in the Light. When truth rules the mind, the serpent loses his ground.
Proclaim the Victory. Tell creation: the adversary is not God’s equal; he is already under the heel of the Seed.
Chapter 2 — Who Created the Serpent
A Creature of the Field
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.” — Genesis 3 :1
The serpent is introduced in Scripture as one of the creatures God made.
Nothing in the text says he was once a heavenly being or that he fell from a higher order; it simply states that he was crafted by the Lord God and was “more subtil” — clever, perceptive, able to test what was in the human heart.
Creation itself was “very good” (Gen 1 :31), yet even within that goodness God allowed the possibility of choice, so obedience could be proved and love could be voluntary.
Purpose in the Pattern
The serpent’s appearance in the garden was not an accident or a rival invasion.
Throughout Scripture, God permits an adversary to expose what is hidden:
In Job 1 – 2, the adversary tests integrity.
In 1 Kings 22 :19-23, a lying spirit exposes false prophets.
In Luke 4 :1-13, temptation reveals the perfection of the Son.
Every test becomes a stage for faith to triumph.
Thus, the serpent was not co-creator with God; he was a tool within creation, a mirror showing humanity whether they would trust divine wisdom or their own. Thus the mystery of who created the serpent is revealed by the Word Himself, shining from Genesis to glory in the Book of Revelation.
Declaration
“The serpent was made by God, not beside Him.
His presence reveals the purpose of obedience.
The Creator alone is sovereign; the creature can only tempt, never triumph.
Every whisper of deception becomes a doorway for truth to shine brighter.”
Call to Action
Honor the Creator’s Sovereignty. Nothing in creation stands outside His rule.
Recognize the Test. When deception speaks, see it as a chance to affirm truth.
Hold to the Word. The same Word that shaped the garden silences the serpent still.
Give Glory to God. Every trial that exposes darkness becomes proof that the light reigns.
Chapter 3 — Who Satan Is — The Spirit of This World and the Carnal Mind
The Adversary Named
“The god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not.” — 2 Corinthians 4 : 4
“To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” — Romans 8 : 6
Scripture never calls Satan a god in the sense of equality with the Almighty; it uses the phrase “god of this world” to describe the spirit that dominates fallen thinking.
He is the adversary, not because he wields creation, but because he corrupts perception.
His power lies only in blindness—in the veil that covers minds not yet renewed by truth.
He is the unseen pattern of pride, self-will, and unbelief that drives the world’s systems and resists the Spirit of Christ.
The Nature of the Adversary
“You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” — John 8 : 44
Jesus defined the adversary’s nature: a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
That nature expresses itself wherever truth is twisted and life is denied.
In Eden it spoke through reasoning that contradicted God.
In Cain it acted as jealousy that spilled innocent blood.
In every generation it manifests as the carnal mind—hostile toward God, unwilling to be ruled by His law of love.
The adversary is therefore not a personal rival existing outside humanity, but the spirit that animates disobedience within humanity.
He is the atmosphere of self-rule, the breath of pride, the counterfeit wisdom that says, “I will ascend.”
Wherever that mind rules, death reigns.
Wherever Christ’s mind rules, peace reigns. The carnal mind, the dwelling place of deception, is exposed as the true synagogue of Satan, judged and overcome in the Book of Revelation.
Declaration
“The adversary’s voice is the echo of self-will.
His kingdom is ignorance; his weapon, deception.
But the mind of Christ exposes and disarms him.
The Spirit of Truth rules where once the carnal mind sat enthroned.
The god of this world is judged; his blindness is broken;
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God shines in our hearts.” — (2 Cor 4 : 6)
Call to Action
Discern the spirit of this world. If pride, fear, or accusation speak, recognize the adversary’s tone.
Renew the mind daily. Let the Word and Spirit expose every false imagination.
Walk in the Spirit. Where the Spirit governs thought, the carnal mind loses ground.
Proclaim freedom. Declare that the prince of this world is cast out and the light has come.
Chapter 4 — Where He Dwells — The Synagogue of Satan
His Appointed Realm
“Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle… On your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.” — Genesis 3 : 14
“I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” — Revelation 2 : 9
From the beginning, the adversary’s habitation was marked.
The curse did not give him dominion; it restricted him.
His movement is “on the belly”—a symbol of the earth-bound appetite—and his food is “dust,” the fleshly nature of man.
He finds no nourishment in heaven’s atmosphere; he survives only where men think carnally and worship outwardly while their hearts remain untouched.
The Synagogue Unveiled
A synagogue is an assembly, a meeting place.
The “synagogue of Satan” is not a building but a fellowship of thought—a gathering of minds united by pride, fear, or accusation.
It appears wherever religion uses the name of God yet resists the Spirit of Christ.
Jesus rebuked such gatherings in His day: “You are of your father the devil.”
Their doctrines exalt human effort, condemn others, and hide grace behind ritual.
Inwardly, the serpent’s dwelling is the dust realm of the mind.
When a person lives from appetite, resentment, or self-righteousness, the adversary finds a home.
When the Spirit renews the mind, that house collapses.
As light fills the inner temple, the serpent loses ground and must “crawl on his belly” back into the dust—powerless, speechless, exposed.
Declaration
“The adversary has no throne in heaven, no kingdom in light.
His synagogue is dismantled; his pulpit of pride is silent.
The dust realm is under our feet.
The temple of God is clean, filled with the Spirit, radiant with truth.
The accuser is cast down; the sons of God stand upright in His glory.”
Call to Action
Discern the gathering. Ask: does this voice unite around grace or accusation?
Keep the heart as the true temple. Guard thoughts from resentment and pride—his only feeding ground.
Feed on Spirit, not dust. Meditate on the Word, not on fear or gossip.
Stand upright. Walk as those whose posture is restored; the serpent crawls beneath, not above. The proud man who said “I will ascend” meets his fall within, as light conquers darkness through the revelation of Christ in the Book of Revelation.
Chapter 5 — Why He Exists — That the Works of God Might Be Made Manifest
Purpose Revealed
“Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” — John 9 : 3
“The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” — Proverbs 16 : 4
When the disciples saw a man born blind, they assumed the problem came from sin.
Jesus corrected them: the situation existed so that God’s work could be revealed.
In the same way, every form of opposition, every testing presence, exists only to unveil something greater in God.
Evil is not equal to the Creator—it is the dark background against which His goodness shines.
The Stage for Manifestation
Throughout Scripture the adversary appears only so that glory can be displayed:
In Eden, temptation made way for promise (Gen 3 : 15).
In Job, testing produced endurance and revelation.
In the wilderness, Satan’s challenge revealed the perfection of the Son.
In the Cross, betrayal and cruelty became the doorway to resurrection.
Every act of resistance gives God a platform to demonstrate victory.
The adversary’s limited existence exposes the power of divine love to redeem, heal, and transform.
He is permitted to test—but only so faith may prove itself genuine, and light may swallow darkness. The adversary’s domain—the spirit of this world—is consumed by fire, swallowed by the Lamb who reigns forever in the Book of Revelation.
Declaration
“The adversary is not author but instrument.
He cannot write the story; he can only underline the glory.
Every assault becomes evidence of victory.
What was meant for evil turns to reveal the goodness of God.
The works of the Lord are being made manifest in us, and darkness has no final word.”
Call to Action
See purpose in pressure. Ask, What aspect of God is being revealed through this?
Respond with faith, not fear. Trials are invitations to manifestation.
Magnify the outcome, not the obstacle. Speak of what God is showing, not what the enemy is doing.
Live as evidence. Let patience, mercy, and truth in your life display the works of God to the world.
Chapter 6 — His Purpose in the Plan — The Training Ground for Overcomers
Why Opposition Remains
“There was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon… and the great dragon was cast out.” — Revelation 12 : 7–9
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.” — James 1 : 12
God could have removed every adversary in an instant, yet He left a realm of resistance so His sons could learn dominion.
Just as muscle strengthens through resistance, faith matures through contradiction.
The adversary’s presence in the story is not proof of God’s weakness but of His wisdom: He trains rulers, not infants.
The Adversary as a Tool of Growth
From Genesis to Revelation, every encounter with evil becomes a classroom:
Adam faced choice, revealing the need for obedience.
Israel faced wilderness, learning trust.
David faced giants, proving courage.
Jesus faced temptation, displaying victory.
In every case, resistance exposes the level of maturity and invites increase.
Revelation 12 shows the same pattern: when the woman (the corporate Church) brings forth the Man-Child (mature sons), a battle erupts in the heavens. The dragon’s purpose is instantly undone, for the very struggle produces overcomers who carry the Lamb’s authority.
Thus the adversary’s role in the plan is temporary and instructional.
He functions as the pressure that reveals power, the storm that proves the anchor, the mirror showing what yet needs renewal. When the overcomers arise, his usefulness ends. All powers of the beastly realm yield before the Lamb’s dominion, for the dragon’s voice is silenced eternally in the Book of Revelation.
Declaration
“The war in my heavens is my training ground.
Every resistance strengthens revelation.
The adversary’s fury only fashions the faithful.
The dragon’s rage becomes the wind beneath the wings of the sons.
I am learning dominion through endurance, and the accuser falls beneath the word of my testimony.”
Call to Action
Interpret opposition as education. Ask what kingdom principle the moment is teaching.
Stay anchored in victory. Remember, the Lamb has already overcome; we enforce that triumph.
Respond with worship. Praise turns battlefields into sanctuaries.
Encourage other trainees. Remind the brethren that resistance proves inheritance.
Chapter 7 — His End — Consumed by the Fire of the Lamb
The Final Scene
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone… and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” — Revelation 20 : 10
“Our God is a consuming fire.” — Hebrews 12 : 29
The story of the adversary ends in the same fire that defines God’s nature.
The lake of fire is not a rival kingdom—it is the arena of divine justice and purification.
The deceiver’s power is broken; his lies meet truth; his darkness meets light.
When Revelation describes his casting down, it is not a struggle between equals but the final unveiling of absolute dominion.
Fire as Judgment and Restoration
The fire that consumes also reveals.
Throughout Scripture, fire separates what is true from what is false:
Malachi 3 : 2–3 — He is “like a refiner’s fire,” purifying the sons of Levi.
1 Corinthians 3 : 13–15 — Every work is tested by fire; only what is genuine remains.
Revelation 1 : 14–15 — The Lamb’s eyes blaze as fire; His feet gleam as refined brass.
When that same fire meets the adversary, deception is dissolved, not preserved.
Everything built on the lie is reduced to ashes, and the truth stands alone.
The “lake” is the complete immersion of every false thing into the brightness of God’s being.
It marks the end of rebellion and the triumph of holiness.
Declaration
“The consuming fire is the love that cannot lie.
Every shadow flees before it; every deceit is burned away.
The accuser’s throne melts in the heat of mercy;
the serpent’s tongue is silenced in the presence of the Lamb.
Behold—the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.”
Call to Action
Reverence the Fire. Approach God’s holiness with awe—His flame purifies everything untrue.
Let Judgment Begin in You. Allow the Spirit to burn away pride, fear, and self-rule.
Proclaim the End. Announce that deception’s reign is over and truth alone abides.
Walk as Light. Live so fully in the fire of love that darkness finds no dwelling in you. The consuming fire of divine love swallows the adversary’s last trace, revealing restoration through judgment in the Book of Revelation.
Chapter 8 — The Triumph of Christ — The Adversary Finished, the Sons Reigning
The Story Ends in Light
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.” — Revelation 21 : 1
“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.” — Revelation 11 : 15
When the record closes, there is no rival left to mention.
The adversary who whispered in Genesis is silent in Revelation.
The dust where he crawled is gone; the carnal mind that fed him is renewed; the sons of God stand in incorruptible light.
This is the Triumph of Christ—the revelation that ends all war within and without.
From Conquest to Co-Reign
The Lamb’s victory is not postponed; it is progressively manifest.
Each heart that yields to His rule becomes a new heaven and a new earth within.
When Revelation 20 : 10 declares the adversary’s end, Revelation 21 immediately unveils the result: “The tabernacle of God is with men.”
God’s dwelling replaces the serpent’s synagogue; communion replaces accusation.
Paul foresaw this moment: “The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” — Romans 16 : 20
It is under our feet because we share the feet of Christ, the Body of the Victor.
The overcomers reign not by hierarchy but by union—their life hid with Christ in God, their authority the overflow of His nature. And when the sons stand with one foot on the sea and one on the earth, the adversary’s world ends—and Zion’s glory fills all creation in the Book of Revelation.
Thus, the triumph of Christ is the enthronement of His mind in His people.
Every adversarial thought is dethroned; every system of darkness yields.
The earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Declaration
“The adversary is finished.
The lie has no pulpit; the dust has no voice.
The Lamb reigns through a company of sons who bear His name in their foreheads.
Heaven and earth are one, light without shadow, day without night.
The kingdoms of this world are the Lord’s, and His peace rules without end.”
Call to Action
Live as the new creation. Let the victory of Christ define your thoughts, speech, and walk.
Reign through service. The Lamb’s throne is meekness—govern by love, not by power.
Fill the earth with light. Every act of mercy, truth, and reconciliation extends His dominion.
Remember the end. The adversary is not ahead of us; he is beneath us. Christ reigns now and forever.
Final Word
The scroll closes where the Bible closes—in glory.
From “the serpent was more subtil” to “the Lord God and the Lamb are its temple,”
the story has always belonged to one Author.
His fire has consumed the lie; His life fills all in all.
The finished work of Christ is the revelation of Zion,
and the sons reign with Him in unending light.
