When did satan know who jesus was? (creation, hell, genesis)

When did satan get the light bulb moment? The moment he could say... AH HA! This one is Jesus!

Hello Heneni this is a good question......I think Satan probably knew when Jesus was born, the star, was a good indication. If he didn't recognize that, he missed an excellent chance of having the light bulb go on......Then when Herod had the babies killed and Jesus was safe, that would have been another light bulb moment. Then when the famous temptation with Jesus failed Satan had to know This was the Son Of God, if he didn't then he should have used another brand of light bulb. The life of Christ, the miracles he performed if by this point Satan hadn't seen the light then his breaker was tripped and there would be no light bulb go on....By the time we get to the death and resurrection of Jesus he knew he was never going to see the light again, just outer darkness......... and it is better to light one little candle than to curse the darkness.......

Now, unless I'm mistaken, when Jesus was at school one day, he won the "teacher-helper-outer" award after discovering it was actually Satan leaving scorch marks on the desks, and reporting it to his teacher. Now, Satan of course didn't like being ragged on for it, and vowed to have his revenge. I think from that moment, he knew who Jesus was.




...no?

hmm a bit of trial and error huh?

maybe that's why my closet smelt a bit like singed hair the other week - he's still looking for likely suspects.

I think Satan knew right away. The demons could tell right away who Jesus was--they called him the "Son of God" more than anybody!

What I've always wondered is this: what was Satan thinking when when Jesus became a human, and then later when he was going to the die?

Was it: "Is God crazy!? He's made Himself into a mortal man, just to hang out with His little creations? Muuahahaha! I have Him now! The universe is miiiine!" (Imagine the scene from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" where the Witch is about to kill Aslan and she thinks she's about to win...)

Or was it more like this: "NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo...!" as Jesus expired and there was nothing Satan could do to stop it?

True, but Jesus was over thirty. Could the demons tell before then? If they could, then his neighbourhood school friends must have shouted this strange idea of jesus being the son of god all the time. NO? Did noboty pay attention to it.

I think satan must have been more of a nervous wreck after waiting for about two thousand years for jesus to pitch up. He knew someone was going to come and sort him out since it was prophesied in genesis.

I think your second one is more likely: Satan entered Judas, not to get jesus killed but to stop judas making the mistake of satans life.

If Herod had to be inspired by satan to kill all those children, then he wasnt much good to satan. If satan knew who jesus was, wouldnt he have used somone to get the right boy killed?

Maybe he's in denial, because he still can't believe that an all-powerful God would become a poor carpenter's boy.

Amazing what god would do to save us. It seems like God kept Jesus 'under cover' for a few years at least. Disguising Jesus as a human worked wonders too. I dont think satan was able to tell the son of god from the next one. But then at some point this changed. God revealed his son, in a way that satan did not have any doubt about Jesus's identity.
