Satan once resided as Lucifer, one of the chief angels, in the presence of the Holy Trinity—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. So when Jesus became the God the incarnate Son, Satan knew perfectly well of his divine nature, yet rather than back off, he unleashed a torrent of enticements designed to derail the plan of God and knock Jesus irremediably off course. Now, to be certain, if the very Son of God had to endure an onslaught of Satanic temptation, you and I will too.
