In the revelation given to the apostle John, Satan is identified as the predominant source of woe ​ — the one primarily responsible for “misleading the entire inhabited earth. ” ​ — Revelation 12: 9 - 12.
Atklāsmē, kas tika dota apustulim Jānim, bija norādīts, ka Sātans ir galvenais nelaimju izraisītājs un ka viņš ” pieviļ visu pasauli ”.
