It is very true that "Satan" is not just a personified depiction of a beast with horns and a pitchfork, but he is extremely intelligent and our greatest adversary for that reason. He was made our adversary not just because he decided to rebel, but he was sent by God [see the book of Job if anyone doubts that statement] to test us. That is a fact, and it is a huge mistake to underestimate him as he will dangle the carrot in front of anyone to make them take the bait. So many are tricked because they have the wrong idea due to other human interpretation. It is extremely important to understand that concept, otherwise, it is easier to be deceived. Excellent post, thank you!
