General Introduction. 53<br />

A Satan also led astray Eve, lxix. 6. <strong>The</strong> Satans (as in Job)<br />

can still appear in heaven, xl. 7.<br />

<strong>The</strong> functions <strong>of</strong> the Satans<br />

are threefold : they tempted to evil, lxix. 4, 6 ; they accused<br />

the fallen, xl. 7 ; they punished the condemned as angels <strong>of</strong><br />

punishment, liii. 3 ; lvi. I.<br />

So in the New Testament there is the counter-kingdom <strong>of</strong><br />

sin, S. Matt. xii. 26; S. Luke xi. 18; f if Satan cast out<br />

Satan, how shall his kingdom stand ? ' Satan led astray the<br />

angels, Rev. xii. 4, and led astray man, 2 Cor. xi. 3. <strong>The</strong><br />

demons are subjects <strong>of</strong> Satan, S. Matt. xii. 24-28. <strong>The</strong><br />

functions <strong>of</strong> Satan are tempting, S. Matt. iv. 1-12; S. Luke<br />

xxii. 31; accusing, Rev. xii. 10 ; punishing, 1 Cor. v. 5, where<br />

impenitent sinners are delivered over to Satan for punishment.
