The Human Arch-Enemy, Satan Has Not Got Certain Attributes; Satan Has O Love, No Compassion , NoConsideration, No Fear

But Regarding To Fear For Satan Or TheDevil, There Is One Thing Satan Dreads And That Is God's Glory

This Was TheGlory God Created Adam And Decorated Adm With. This Glory Of God Given To Adam Make Satan To Shiver All The Time. Adam Was To Have Dominion Over TheEntire Creation In That Glory .That Glory Was What Enabled Adam To HaveAuthority And Rule Over The Entire Creation Including Satan.
