As we are all well aware, because he is a created being himself, Satan is not a creator, but he is a counterfeiter. This is most evident in Isaiah 14:13-14 where we bear witness to the infamous five “I will” statements. The final statement, recorded in Isaiah 14:14 is this: “I will be like the Most High.”
In Hebrew, reference to “the Most High” is rendered “El Elyon.” This is one of the truly exquisite names for God found in the Bible. As we know, each of the divine names is given in order to reveal to man some quality or characteristic of God that cannot be found to the same extent in any other being. All divine names (and this one in particular), therefore, set God apart from and elevate Him infinitely higher than all other beings, whether in heaven or earth.
For Satan to believe that he could become like El Elyon shows the extent of his foolish pride. As Donald Grey Barnhouse said in his book entitled The Invisible War, “He awoke in the first moment of his existence in the full-orbed beauty and power of his exalted position; surrounded by all the magnificence which God gave him. He saw himself as above all the hosts in power, wisdom, and beauty. Only at the throne of God itself did he see more than he himself possessed, and it is possible that even that was in some sense not fully visible to the eyes of the creature.”
But it begs the question – of all the names and characteristics attributed to God, why does Satan want to be like El Elyon? Well, let’s examine some passages where the name is used to give us a better idea.
The mysterious Melchizedek, who Abram meets as recorded in Genesis 14, uses the name El Elyon for God. In Genesis 14:18-20 we read: “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’” […]
