'''The Devil''' in [[Christianity]] is a deity who became a tempter and a deceiver of mankind after he rebelled against the [[Yahweh|God of Abraham]] in an attempt to become equal to God himself. He is depicted as a [[fallen angel]], who was expelled from Heaven at the beginning of time, before God created the material world, and is in constant opposition to God. The devil is identified with several figures in the [[Bible]] including the serpent in the Garden of Eden, [[Lucifer]], [[Satan]], the tempter of the Gospels, [[Leviathan]], and the dragon in the [[Book of Revelation]]. | '''The Devil''' in [[Christianity]] is a deity who became a tempter and a deceiver of mankind after he rebelled against the [[Yahweh|God of Abraham]] in an attempt to become equal to God himself.
