OCC:Satan defined

   SATAN - a Hebrew name meaning literally 'adversary, accuser' In
the greek of the New Testament the name SATAN (AS) is the leader of
fallen spirits (SEE Matthew 12:24). SATAN 'Excels in strength'
(PSALMS 103:20; JUDE 9), yet as a supernatural being he is a limited
being, (see Job 1:7) and he can operate only by DIVINE PERMISSION (JOB
1:12; CF. 1 COR 10:13).  He dominates all the kingdoms of mankind (LK
4:6), seeking their DESTRUCTION (1 PET. 5:8).  Satan was a highly
exalted angel but he sought to supplament GOD, and thus his fall.
Today satan still incites people to evil (ACTS 5:3; 1 COR. 7:5; 2 COR
2:11) and he is able to change himself into an 'Angel of light' (term
which refers to his deceptive nature, (CF. 2 COR. 11:14).  He
continues to hinder Christians (1 THESS. 2:18), and he is still the
'PRINCE' of the power of our earthly atmosphere (EPH. 2:2);but if we
resist satan he will flee from us (JAS 4:7).  Satan knows that his
time left is short (REV 12:12).  With the return of Christ, satan is
to be bound (REV.20:2-3, CF. ISA. 24:21-22).  His final release  will
accomplish only the destuction of those he decieves, after which he is
cast into the lake of fire forever (REV. 20:9-10).

   He is real, don't play with him, COME TO CHRIST.
