Evil has been evident in cultures and societies as long as there has been human history. Evil has been witnessed controlling the lives of kings, presidents and religious leaders. Many of the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus for baptism and he called them “a brood of vipers” and “an evil and adulterous generation” in need of repentance. (Matthew 3:7; 12:34; 16:4) Paul called his generation “crooked and perverse.” (Phil. 2:15) The Boston Marathon bombings in 2013 were demonic. The Connecticut Sandy Hook Elementary School killings where twenty children and six adults were murdered in 2013 demonstrated evil beyond reason and human explanation. Throughout all of history these types of actions have been attributed to something. There have been temporary responses in efforts to ebb the flow of this evil only to see it pop up in a more wicked form than man has witnessed before. Since the New Testament has eighty-seven references to Satan or the Devil and over one hundred references to demons or evil spirits, we must attempt to define them and their work. The gospel writers clarified the attacks of Satan on Christ himself as Matthew records no less than forty instances.
