Just who do you think you are anyway?!
Currently Listening to The Live Set by Michael W. Smith
Today’s Bible study is on the “law of first mention.”
The first mention of the word “Satan” in the NIV bible is here:
1 Chronicles 21:1
Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
And just to be sure we understand who Satan is, here is the identical passage in Samuel:
2 Samuel 24:1
Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
From this we can learn that, umm, well you tell me. It is one of my favorite passages.
I’ll save my take on it for another entry though.

Sounds like “Yin and Yang” to me!

Let’s see… That God lets Satan do His dirty work?

You’ll notice from the passages that God incited David against Israel, while satan incited him to take the sensus .
