Commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:14

Theological / Devotional

Satan. See on Matt. 4:1; see Additional Note on Mark 1.

Transformed. See on v. 13. Light is one of the supreme attributes of God and His holy angels (Matt. 28:2, 3; 1 Tim. 6:16; 1 John 1:5; Rev. 21:23, 24). Whenever and wherever God or His angels come, they shed light and dispel darkness (Acts 26:18; Col. 1:13). Darkness, on the contrary, represents evil and its author, Satan (Luke 22:53; 2 Cor. 6:14; Eph. 6:12). See on John 1:4-9. From the beginning Satan has been studiously disguising himself the better to lure men away from Christ.

Light. Satan was once an angel of light. His name was Lucifer, which means “light bearer” (Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:13-19). Rebellion against God actually transformed him into an angel of darkness, and the angels who sided with him took up their abode in the realms of darkness (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6).
