Satanic Opposition
Passages in the Thessalonian and Timothy letters name Satan, the tempter, demons, and the devil in contexts of hindrance, deception, and deliverance.
The Bible says Satan hindered Paul’s repeated efforts to come. 1 Thessalonians 2:18
Paul also speaks of the tempter possibly tempting those whose faith he sought to learn about. 1 Thessalonians 3:5 A coming is described as operating according to Satan’s activity, with false signs and wonders. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 The Lord is called faithful and said to guard from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Other passages mention deceiving spirits and teachings of demons, some turning aside after Satan, and escape from the devil’s trap. 1 Timothy 4:1 1 Timothy 5:15 2 Timothy 2:26
