This is something that interests me, sorry if it's disturbing to anyone.
The best I can reason is that possibly yes, but just to destroy people, because of this:
1 Peter 5:8
King James Version
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
So unless I'm mistaken originally the devil wanted to overthrow God and rebelled, but that didn't work and now he just wants to lie murder and steal and destroy people. The Bible describes the devil as the cherub that covereth so maybe originally Satan had a positive influence on everything (since he "covers") and was perhaps alone in this regard, but rebelled I think maybe due to pride about his beauty and wanting to overthrow God. I'm guessing he's still like he was and still "covers" so I'm guessing that's how he can influence the world how he does and affect people how he does, because maybe he was supposed to have a positive affect on everyone but just uses his ability for evil now. These are just guesses, but from what I can deduce it makes sense to me. Basically if I'm right there is a lone angel that can influence everyone and he uses his ability to lie murder and steal, the Devil. As far as I know he leaves Christians alone though because of this:
1 John 5:18
King James Version
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Anyways, I guess these are just my musings about this. Maybe others will find it interesting, I could be wrong about what I'm writing about though.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
The devil does not have any goals for himself because it will be all for nothing because he knows he will never be anything of importance, and shall soon be punished.
The only thing he does is try to influence mankind to do wrong which he can do because Adam and Eve sinned, and people's sin condition.
When Jesus takes over the earth it will only be His way so the devil is put in the bottomless pit, and then released at the end of the millennial reign to stir up the heathen to go against the saints which God will then punish them, which they still have punishment coming but He postponed it until the end of the millennial reign.
God is all powerful, and an omnipresent Spirit that the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain.
A great God that angels and people should fear.
If Lucifer was an angel that cannot even compare to God why did he rebel against God.
I believe it is because God did not reveal to the angels how great he is but revealed that to people for it is based on faith.
Angels and people cannot see God unless He shows a visible image of Himself which Jesus is a visible image of God to mankind.
Since God was dealing with angels before He created Adam and Eve, He probably had an angelic body as His visible image to the angels.
And Lucifer thought is that all there is to God and thought he could exalt himself, but after the rebellion the fallen angels then knew that He was greater than they thought and now they tremble.
God is love, and loves all people, but He has to end sin one day so He is giving the world 7 years to have their way, and cause all that do not love Him to follow the New Age Christ, and when they do then He will end sin on earth.
The devil is on a leash, and during the first half the leash is not as restrictive but he is still on a leash, and when it is the middle of the 7 years period the transgressors are come to the full, and war breaks out in heaven, and the devils are cast to earth, and the devil is off his leash, and the devils deceive all people who do not love God which is the strong delusion He will send all people that love not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.
For the first three and one half years the New Age Christ is influenced by the devil, and the last three and one half years he is controlled by the devil.
Which when they tale the mark of the beast then they will have the nature of a devil, and belong to the devil, and salvation is no longer available to them, and God will end sin on earth.
The microchip is the mark of the beast for the beast's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology, and devices, can help to achieve peace on earth.
For the first three and one half years they will prepare the cities to move all people in to the cities, and no development can happen outside city limits, and the people become the police force of the cities.
Which is United Nations Agenda 21.
They will give the people a microchip linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans, and they will be able to track people, and watch what they are doing.
If a crime happens they will know who was in the location, and how close they were to the crime scene.
This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.
