Possibly the most ancient story, however, claimed that Pangu’s body created all the features of the world and the sky. Again, the heavens and the earth were kept apart by his limbs.

There are many parallels to these stories in the Near East and Europe. While Indo-European and East Asian cultures are largely considered separate, the pillars of the sky and a giant’s body creating the features of the land are widespread archetypes that seem to cross between these cultural divisions.

While this could be coincidental, it is more likely that the stories are actually related. Exchange between seemingly unrelated cultures, either in border regions or from shared prehistoric origins, resulted in strikingly similar myths being told in otherwise unrelated cultures.


All Mythology seems to point to a shared origin, in the purple dawn of history.

This source is about Pangu (PAN-koo) a Chinese creation myth.

Maybe the duplicity and commonality between these belief systems is Satan’s complex version of a body double.

It becomes difficult to identify the original amongst the copies.

But he is “the prince of the power of the air” as mentioned in Ephesians 2:2.

What is the power of the air?

The Devil is described in the Bible as “the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience.” (Ephesians 2:2; NW) This implies that the Devil exercises a powerful influence on many humans, usually without their noticing it, just as we sometimes may not notice an invisible pollutant in the air.

For example, Satan’s influence is seen in many modern means of communication: videos, movies, television, the Internet, advertising, books, magazines, and newspapers. Much material, especially that focused on unsuspecting youths, is filled with extreme and repugnant trends, such as racism, occultism, immorality, and sadistic violence.

Spirit of the World (Reasoning From the Scriptures)

Definition: The impelling force that influences human society made up of those who are not servants of Jehovah God, causing such people to say and do things according to a characteristic pattern. Although people act on individual preferences, those who manifest the spirit of the world give evidence of certain basic attitudes, ways of doing things, and aims in life that are common to the present system of things of which Satan is ruler and god.

Why is being tainted by the spirit of the world a matter of serious concern?

1 John 5:19: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (Satan has fostered a spirit that dominates the thinking and activities of those of mankind who are not Jehovah’s approved servants. It is a spirit of selfishness and pride that is so pervasive that it is like the air that humans breathe. We need to exercise great care not to submit to Satan’s power by letting that spirit mold our lives.)

...

What are some of the characteristics of the spirit of the world against which we need to be on guard?

1 Cor. 2:12: “Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been kindly given us by God.” (If the spirit of the world takes root in a person’s thinking and desires, its fruitage is soon seen in actions that manifest that spirit. So, breaking free from the spirit of the world requires not only avoiding unchristian activities and excesses but also getting to the root of the matter by cultivating attitudes that reflect God’s spirit and genuine love for his ways. This you should keep in mind as you consider the following manifestations of the spirit of the world.)

Doing what a person wants to do, without regard for the will of God

Satan urged Eve to decide for herself what was good and what was bad. (Gen. 3:3-5; in contrast see Proverbs 3:5, 6.) Many who follow Eve’s course do not know what God’s will for mankind is, nor are they interested in finding out. They just “do their own thing,” as they say. Those who know God’s requirements and try to conform to them need to be careful that the world’s spirit does not cause them deliberately to ignore the counsel of God’s Word in what they may view as “little things.”—Luke 16:10; see also “Independence.”

Reacting to situations on the basis of pride

It was Satan who first allowed an overestimation of self to corrupt his heart. (Compare Ezekiel 28:17; Proverbs 16:5.) Pride is a divisive force in the world of which he is ruler, causing people to consider themselves better than those of other races, nations, language groups, and economic status. ...

Manifesting a rebellious attitude toward authority

Rebellion began with Satan, whose name means “Resister.” By his defiance of Jehovah, Nimrod, whose name may mean “Let Us Rebel,” demonstrated that he was a child of Satan. Avoiding that spirit will prevent God-fearing persons from becoming defiant of secular rulers (Rom. 13:1); it will help minors to submit to the God-given authority of their parents (Col. 3:20); it will be a safeguard against sympathizing with apostates, who disrespect those whom Jehovah has entrusted with responsibility in his visible organization.—Jude 11; Heb. 13:17.

Giving free rein to the desires of the fallen flesh

...

Allowing one’s life to be dominated by the desire to possess what one sees

...

Showing off one’s possessions and supposed attainments

...

Giving vent to one’s emotions in abusive speech and violent acts

...

Basing one’s hopes and fears on what humans are able to do

...

Giving to humans and things the worshipful honor that belongs to God

...

Keep in mind, that the word "spirit" can refer to a spirit person/being or a mental attitude, such as in the phrase 'getting into the spirit of something'. Compare the phrase, “the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience”, at Eph 2:2 with the paragraph about this manisfestation of the spirit of the world: "Doing what a person wants to do, without regard for the will of God". Same idea. The spirit person/being known as Satan the Devil, promotes this spirit/attitude of disobedience (to God's will and commandments). And this promotion, this impelling force that influences human society made up of those who are not obedient to God, causing such people to say and do things according to a characteristic pattern, is so pervasive in this system of things, that it is like the air that humans breathe (making Satan “the ruler of the authority of the air” as he is also “the ruler of the world” and “god of this system of things”, John 14:30;2Cor 4:4). Which is also why the apostle Paul warned:

“And stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

Product of god is still lesser and subservient to god.

With the way the human race is going, Lucifer will undoubtedly be able to show god how evil and unworthy of his love we are.

The Morningstar at that point will regain his position next to god and god will have to punish his favorite creation.


That is what Satan will do, but our sins will be washed white as snow because of forgiveness.

I feel the theme (or archetype, or simplification) is more important than the specifics in things like this.

Or as you theorise, the original is shuffled into the pack somewhere, for the sake of obfuscation.

Worldly intelligent.
Spirituality dumb as a stump.

We are told he is cunning and crafty.

Intelligent enough to deceive man and stupid enough to rebel against the Almighty God.

A response to Dalamax's comment may be a little easier if you make a distinction between intelligence and wisdom. Those who confuse the 2, or are under the impression that intelligence guarantees wisdom (or are inseparable, or more or less the same thing), have a tendency to only become "wise in their own eyes" (i.e. so not really wise, they only think they are, compare Isaiah 5:20, 21). Especially if they also think they can skip or ignore the first step towards acquiring wisdom, as described at Proverbs 9:10:

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom,

And knowledge of the Most Holy One is understanding.


No matter how intelligent a person is, that does not automatically mean he/she will also be or become wise. True wisdom has another prior (or first) requirement (or step to take, for wisdom to begin to develop). A higher intelligence (IQ), when combined with inordinate pride*, can actually be hampering that process, if you let it.

*: pride is discussed in my previous comment when addressing various manifestations of the spirit of the world.

I just like how the Christian radio stations say they are actively engaged in war with the prince of the power of the air, because it is true.

I also agree with ATS members pointing out the pathetic techniques, emphasis on technology, that mere devils need to rape humans on many levels just to get people to commit crimes against each other, and ultimately sin against our Creator. Also, disrespecting Mother is worse than murder.

I like the internet better when it was called Akasha. And, consider the Breath of Life. Amniotic fluid. Etcetera.
The synagogue of Satan may try to delete the internet archives so that sayin, "the internet never forgets" is reduced to an old meme, but the energy is out there and it originated from the original poster. Use this power wisely, friends.

To think that only God can forgive one's sins beyond the particle of not remembering them.
God cannot forget you. Play nice.
I have dice.

Perhaps this interview may interest you :

Cal Washington, ( the Mercantile-Law™ guy, ) suggests that this entire realm, or plane of " existence ", is still the courtroom, and the trial between God and satan, and that it is us, who are God's advocates.

i accept that satan runs the habitat 'Earth', and the present chaos with weather patterns (power of the air) is being disrupted by the divine forces in heaven instead of by Satan.... this 'climate-change' explanation is centered on denial-of-deity & crossing the Galactic electric.magnetic sheet

Satan-Lucifer has great influence both on Earth biosphere and in the cosmos--- Satan is terrestral Lucifer is cosmic

I just perused the “Remembering the end of the world” vid. and it reminded me of one I saw about John’s vision in Revelation.

All the constellations lined up to tell the Gospel and some of the happenings around that time.

Thanks I’ll enjoy watching


man... To have been able to witness and understand those signs would have been pretty neat!

Ever wondered about the relationship between the two? Why wouldn't God look at his angels as his children? Why would he create us as his children yet angels, his first made, probably would have more right to this title. It seems his children are given compassion but angels don't really have an option.

People say it's because we were made differently. Angels already had knowledge of good and evil so they have no excuse. I have a lot of questions about this specifically. It's an interesting subject.

What are angels in the eyes of God and why aren't they privy to grace?

I waa always under the impression that angels are administrators and messengers, kind of right hand ‘men’, used so the power and majesty of GOD’s presence doesn’t obliterate our puny forms/minds when interacting with us.

That's where I thought the title "Lord of the Air" came from. Like Mercury/Hermes the messenger. In the Bible's instance, it would be satan's title as he always seemed to pour through people's faults. As one person mentioned, the prosecutor, if you will.


Though even as right hands, they were less than God and created by him. It just seems that there is some unevenness in the ranking order.


When I hear, "We are not alone" this is what comes to mind. The spiritual, not the physical. Physical seems far too impossible, aliens from billions of lightyears away. But spiritual, not so much. Spiritual exceeds time and space in every way.

Fascinating topic. Always searching!

Physical just seems impossible because of our limited perspective. Consider how little of ‘reality’ we are actually capable of being aware of.

Have you seen the movie Fallen? Give it a viewing, I think you will enjoy it.

I reckon extensions or dilutions (?) of His thoughts or communications is probably a better approximation.

They are called benehʹ ha·ʼElo·himʹ, “sons of God” (KJ); “sons of the true God” (NW), at Genesis 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1. Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner (1958), page 134, says: “(individual) divine beings, gods.” And page 51 says: “the (single) gods,” and it cites Genesis 6:2; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7.

An understanding of the elements in the writers context would be helpful. I suggest researching the 4 elements. Air has a very clear connotation from the Hebrew and Platonic perspective…have fun digging



In the Tarot, the element Air represents the intellect, knowledge, technology and science. The icon for Air is the Sword. Technology advances via the quest to wage a better war.
