This is a most difficult subject. When we seek to define the enemy, we all need to join in prayer to assist our teachers and ourselves, and ask God for guidance. Jesus is Lord!
@sbpitn Personally, I believe Gary nailed the subject, good video. I was reading some of the previous comments, and mostly I was reflecting that in my comment. Satan will always try to cover his tracks. 1 John 4:4...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Jesus will prevail.
Remember, an 'angel' is a 'messanger'. Put some flesh and blood into that word when thinking about it and it may help you to understand. 'Angel' does not mean 'spiritual'.
Could not disagree with Gary more. Not unless you want to think of angels as serpents. Lucifer was an angel, Satan is a serpent. How can the two be more different. Sometimes I laughed when I watch this.
@SuperCopp74 Now now, let's not get testy. Gary is someone I respect, so rest assured I love PITN and all the work they do. I just so happened to find myself chuckling a bit during this broadcast, which is a first for me. As for your assertion, I have 25 years of bible study under my belt, yet I am far from being a scholar. As a rule, I defer to others. I have much to learn, but in this case I find the teaching wanting. Sorry :)
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
We see that Satan/the Dragon/Lucifer/ and that old serpent are all the same entity. After the fall Lucifer ceases being Lucifer and becomes Satan. Hope this helps.

Everybody knows that Anakin Skywalker was a cute little boy while darth vader was A tall, evil mastermind.
Now that you've identified Satan and Lucifer, who are the "devil", the "son of the morning", "the Wicked One", "the Deceiver".
Also consider the various angelic classes, cherubs, angels, fallen, demons, etc.
The cherubim have faces representing four of the five types, human, avian, domestic, and feral. Missing from that list is "reptilian".
