Jonathan Edwards
"Satan
has highly exalted himself, and greatly prevailed. He is vastly superior
in his natural capacity and abilities to mankind. He was originally one
of the highest rank of creatures, but proudly exalted himself in rebellion
against God in heaven. We are told, that pride was the condemnation of
the devil. (1 Tim. 3:6) He became proud of his own superior dignity and
mighty abilities, and the glory which his Creator had put upon him. And
[he] probably thought it too much to submit to the Son of God, and attempted
to exalt his throne above him." Compiled by Thomas George
