Why does the Devil hate mankind?

[Isabella.Khan]

I mean, mankind has never done anything to the Devil or his angels. So why do they hate us so much?

Because he learned that God chose man to share His very Nature and thus have a family after ‘Kind’.

This was what Paul meant when he mentioned God’s ‘Eternal Purpose’.

But why would that make him hate us?

Hi @Isabella.Khan Because the enemy does not want to see anything of the glory of God by faith in us.

Romans 3 shows how sinners can indeed be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His work at the cross. God bless His Word to you.

Pride, jealousy and a sense of loss according to his nature.

he could have rejoiced as other angels do.

Satan hates God and anything or anyone that glorifies God. Satan even hates himself because he knows he is fallen from the glory of God and is eternally doomed; he is a miserable pariah. Misery loves company.

Good question @Isabella.Khan, and as a human race we are a long time in from Satan's original sin.

I have read content that blames God for how Satan fell from favour as Lucifer, and took a third of the angels with him.

God should not be blamed for any wrong doing as it is obvious from Scripture that it was in Satan's power as Lucifer to resist the pride that ultimately leads to his destruction. 

# Having lost his citizenship and rank in heaven Satan has set about to destroy humanity and deprive God of His prized possession.

# Having the will and wit to corrupt, deceive, and exploit, as he did Adam and Eve, Satan wants humanity to believe the curse of death cannot be reversed, but through Christ and the Holy Spirit, Gods shows us that death, the last enemy, will be defeated.

According to the Bible, death, the last enemy, is defeated at the end of times during the final resurrection and judgment. This is described in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation and Paul's letters:

1. 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 (NKJV)

> "For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death."

• Context: Paul speaks of Christ's reign and His ultimate victory over all enemies, including death.

2. Revelation 20:14 (NKJV)

> "Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

• Context: In the vision of the end times, John describes the final judgment where death itself is cast into the lake of fire, symbolizing its ultimate defeat.

3. Revelation 21:4 (NKJV)

> "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

• Context: This passage describes the new heaven and new earth where God eliminates all suffering and death, highlighting the fulfillment of God's promise to make all things new.

These passages provide a hopeful vision of the future, where death is defeated and no longer has any power over humanity, culminating in eternal life and peace for believers. [Copilot Compilation]

1 Cor 6:2-3
 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels?
ESV

 

[Dennis1209]

I have pondered this question and do not have the answers; I have speculations. 

Satan wants to be coequal with God and wants worship also. Another question to ask is, after the fall, how and why did Satan and his minions usurp uncontested dominion over the Earth? 

Could jealousy also be involved? Humanity was created in God's likeness and image; spiritual creation was not. The powers, thrones, and principalities are at war with God and humanity, trying to thwart God's plan. The spiritual realm cannot be redeemed from sin; we can, and those principalities are eternally doomed. Does misery love company?  Just thoughts.

             We belong to God, and God is in us. He knows his destiny, eternal fire.  He hates God.
