Job 2:1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
There was a day appointed when the sons of God presented themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. His appearing in that assembly reveals a standing pattern in the conflict between good and evil. Whenever God is at work for the salvation of souls, Satan is also at work to oppose and hinder that work. He does so by bringing unsanctified and unbalanced persons into the company of believers, gaining access through them to introduce error and deception. Through such agents he seeks to deceive if possible the very elect, to discourage sincere workers, and to bring reproach upon the cause of truth. Mere presence among God's people therefore proves nothing about character, for even at worship and at the Lord's table Satan may be present on the most solemn occasions through human instruments he employs.
