WHERE IS SATAN FOUND?

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

2Timothy [ESV] 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

  In KJV Biblically searching for “Satan” (i.e. adversary) we find he is only mentioned in 16 books out of 66. Four in the OT, 14 in the NT. Job the most in OT, Paul’s writings the most often in the NT.

49 verses found, 56 matches

1 Chronicles	1 verse found	1 match
Job	11 verses found	14 matches
Psalms	1 verse found	1 match
Zechariah	2 verses found	3 matches
Matthew	3 verses found	4 matches
Mark	5 verses found	6 matches
Luke	6 verses found	6 matches
John	1 verse found	1 match
Acts	2 verses found	2 matches
Romans	1 verse found	1 match

2 Corinthians	3 verses found	3 matches
1 Thessalonians	1 verse found	1 match
2 Thessalonians	1 verse found	1 match
1 Timothy	2 verses found	2 matches
Revelation	7 verses found	8 matches

  Searching Satan’s other Biblical names results in similar data.

  Though not the main person in history, Satan is a person we definitely need to know about, hence the information in God’s Word. But being a curious fellow and schooled to ask alternative questions, I sometimes wonder why comparatively few of God’s penman mentions Satan? Especially considering God’s Word is not a capricious serendipity volume. Believing this as fact I ask what is the lesson therein and what is its life-application?
