Poets such as Geoffrey Chaucer associated the color green with the Devil, although in modern times the color is red. [254] Dante's Inferno [ edit ] Illustrations to Dante's Divine Comedy, object 72 Butlin 812–69 recto Lucifer Origen has been accused by Christians of teaching salvation for the devil. However, in defense of Origen, scholars have argued apocatastasis for the devil is based on a misinterpretation of his universalism. Accordingly, it is not the devil, as the principle of evil, the personification of death and sin, but the angel, who introduced them in the first place, who will be restored after this angel abandons his evil will. [111] Augustine [ edit ] The Book of Revelation describes a battle in heaven (Revelation 12:7–10) [83] between a dragon/serpent "called the devil, or Satan" and the archangel Michael resulting in the dragon's fall. Here, the devil is described with features similar to primordial chaos monsters, like the Leviathan in the Old Testament. [61] The identification of this serpent as Satan supports identification of the serpent in Genesis with the devil. [84] Thomas Aquinas, Rupert of Deutz and Gregory the Great (among others) interpreted this battle as occurring after the devil sinned by aspiring to be independent of God. In consequence, Satan and the evil angels are hurled down from heaven by the good angels under leadership of Michael. [85]

ProjectMUSE 547143 ProQuest 1636846672. John Climacus detailed the traps of the devil in his monastic treatise The Ladder of Paradise. The first trap of the devil and his demons is to prevent people from performing good actions. In the second, one performs good but not in accordance with God's will. In the third, one becomes proud of one's good actions. Only by recognizing that all the good that one can perform comes from God can the last and most dangerous trap be avoided. [102]In 2019, Arturo Sosa, superior general of the Society of Jesus, said that Satan is a symbol, the personification of evil, but not a person and not a "personal reality"; four months later, he said that the devil is real, and his power is a malevolent force. [191] Unitarians and Christadelphians [ edit ] Ganon, the series' demonic archvillain, typically wields a trident as his signature weapon. It first appears in A Link to the Past and has become a staple of his monstrous form, with the exception of Twilight Princess. With the exception of the non-canon Hyrule Warriors, Ganondorf never uses it in his humanoid form; however, his humanoid ghost-double Phantom Ganon wielded a trident in Ocarina of Time.

A number of prayers and practices against the Devil exist within Catholic Church tradition. [198] [199] The Lord's Prayer includes a petition for being delivered "from the evil one", but a number of other specific prayers also exist.
Cuphead: The devil has a long golden pitchfork, which he frequently uses as a weapon during his boss battle. Scott, Mark. S. M. (2015). Pathways in Theodicy: An Introduction to the Problem of Evil (illustrated, reprint ed.). Augsburg Fortress Publishers. ISBN 9781451464702.p.143In December 1968 American optical designer and artist Roger Hayward wrote a humorous submission "Blivets: Research and Development" for The Worm Runner's Digest in which he presented various drawings based on the blivet. [9] He "explained" the term as follows: "The blivet was first discovered in 1892 in Pfulingen, Germany, by a cross-eyed dwarf named Erasmus Wolfgang Blivet." [10] He also published there a sequel, Blivets — the Makings.
In Mormonism, the devil is a real being, a literal spirit son of God who once had angelic authority, but rebelled and fell prior to the creation of the Earth in a pre-mortal life. At that time, he persuaded a third part of the spirit children of God to rebel with him. This was in opposition to the plan of salvation championed by Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Now the devil tries to persuade mankind into doing evil ( Doctrine and Covenants 76:24–29). Mankind can overcome this through faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to the Gospel. [222]The book of Ezekiel includes another Biblical passage Christians refer to as proof of the Devil’s existence. It admonishes the greedy King of Tyre but also refers to the king as a cherub who was once in the Garden of Eden. As a result, some Bible translators believe the King of Tyre was a personification of the Devil. Elden Ring: The demigod Mohg, Lord of Blood, is a demonic-looking Omen associated with blood and fire who dwells in a hidden subterranean citadel filled with unfortunates led astray and/or tempted into his service. Naturally, his weapon of choice/status symbol is an ornate trident. Latter-Day Saints traditionally regard Lucifer as the pre-mortal name of the devil. Mormon theology teaches that in a heavenly council, Lucifer rebelled against the plan of God the Father and was subsequently cast out. [223] Mormon scripture reads:
