SATAN, DEPTHS OF

Sin & Judgment • New Testament
The “depths of Satan” refers to the false teaching confronted by Christ’s message to the church at Thyatira. The expression contrasts deceptive claims of secret knowledge with the true depths of God.
Biblical Usage
The expression occurs in Revelation 2:24 in the Lord’s message to Thyatira. The wording may mean that the false teachers claimed to know Satan’s depths, or that the Lord characterized their alleged knowledge of divine depths as Satan’s depths. In either case, it is associated with false teaching.
