Can the devil see the future?

By Father Martin Cross



Yes the Devil can see the future  - in obscurity. 

The Devil is a spiritual intelligent being. Genesis 3:1 tells us that he spoke the first time to Eve, pretending good for the first family on earth while meaning evil, because he is evil. 

"You will not die" he said, "God knows that the day you eat it you will be like him...knowing good and evil"

The Devil spoke to Eve but to achieve the evil intended he had to pretend to be good, and so presented God as wicked. Some modern manifestations present God as eternally angry, as if God is got nothing else but anger for us, his creatures, and is bent on destroying them. But what about the one supreme sacrifice that takes away sins, entrusted to the Church by Christ? (Heb 10:14-18)

Was the devil aware of the consequences of the fall which was to befall not just Adam and Eve, but the whole of humanity if they disobey God

Yes he was, he was an Angel of light, Lucifer, full of knowledge and insight. 

Did he really mean they were not going to die?  No, he knew they would die, and he knew they would lose the favour of God. If he had told Eve he was the Devil, Eve would not have listened to him. If he had told Eve he was a deceiver, his mission would have failed.

The Church, therefore, always guides her children from falling prey to the same and one primordial enemy of mankind, the Devil, and from the apostolic era till the present she has not failed on this task. 

Let us read 2 Cor 11:3- 5 
"And this is my fear; the serpent that seduced Eve with cunning could also corrupt your minds and divert you from the Christian sincerity ....someone now comes and preaches another Christ different from the one we preach or you are offered a different spirit from the one you have received with a different Gospel from the one you have accepted and you agree..." 

This same fear is our concern about all the end-time gospels and prayers going round the globe. People should spend their time going about doing good (Act 10:38) after the example of Jesus, rather than waste their energy avoiding evil and waiting for the world to end.

Reading St. Paul in the above text, we are aware that there are fake Gospels, fake Christs, fake prophesies, which appear to be wonderful and full of hope but in reality they are fake and evil and like in the case of Eve, they aim to destroy all those adhere to these things rather than the real Gospel. 

Yes, the Devil can see the future, and he can reveal it in obscurity. 

But Paul wants us to stand by with the Church who has the deposit of faith as true and holy.

  1. No, the devil can not see into the future. A nun told she went to India as a young girl, she went there to a shaman.Ze was confused and thought that man could help. When she saw him, she shyed his eyes were cold, without expression Her supervisor said she needed help. The shaman went to get a book in which her ​​life was recorded, he told her from A to Z. She was amazed. There were things, no one could know. She asked then to her future. He flipped and flipped but the pages were empty. When she leaved the room she felt unwell and she wanted to return home as soon as possible. But the torments became worse. She already thought of suicide. Until one day she was taken to a group of the Charismatic movement. They have long prayed over her. She was in fact to be possessed. There were several sessions needed before the devil left her. She realized that the devil could see her past but not her future. Later she became a nun, dedicated to souls in need.
    I have the book and try to find it, for her name etc.
    Yet even as personal addition, ONLY God knows the future. Ria Natuur

  2. Sorry I missed the argument in the article. Why do you say the devil knows the future? I suppose this is just an opinion ....

    1. Yes, it's an opinion and warning:
      Reading St. Paul in the above text, we are aware that there are fake Gospels, fake Christs, FAKE PROPHESIES, which appear to be wonderful and full of hope but in reality they are fake and evil and like in the case of Eve, they aim to destroy all those adhere to these things rather than the real Gospel.

  3. I would guess, Luis Fernandes, that Fr. Martin Cross is posing this question, "Can the devil see the future?" because MDM wrote a message June 21, 2013 saying just the opposite,

    "THE BIGGEST LIE IS THAT SATAN CAN FORETELL THE FUTURE, BUT THIS CAN NEVER BE. Prophecy can only come from God. No one has been bequeathed this Gift, which can only pour from the Lips of God. Satan cannot foretell future events, details of which can only be given to the prophets of God."

    1. I have read somewhere that Satan does see a little ahead, but imperfectly. However, Satan does know of some future events because he is masterminding them....eg 9/11 etc. The power he has works through individuals by suggestion and manipulation.

  4. Of course teh church would dismiss these messages. The messages ar etelling us how Satan controls the vatican. The fact is, these things are coming to pass and the pope, be it Francis or a Resurrected John Paul II is the false prophet will bring sweeping change such that traditional Catholics will not even recognize their own church. As a traditional devout Catholic, I know fll well what Our Blessed Mother told the children at Fatima what is happening in the Vatican. The facts, will unfold before our eyes and the evil that ousted Benedict and put this Jesuit (seeds of pure evil) in charge is evidence the church is being perverted.

  5. Hello PTL,

    And of course the false prophet, Maria Divine Mercy, as she calls herself, would tell you all of this in advance because she knows the Clergy will stand by the "Rock" Christ founded his Church upon! Actually It isn't really Maria who gives these directives, but Satan, the real author of the messages.

    While you are here can I ask you to explain something for me? I do know you have had orders asking you to not defend the messages, which doesn't seem strange seeing as you are following this person blindly anyway. My question is concerning the "Keys" MDM said had gone to heaven. According to Scripture those "keys" are symbolic of the power and authority given first to Peter and then the other apostles. Now if it was true that God has taken away that power and authority then we have no Church. We would just be another denomination that does not have the power and authority from Christ. Also we can no longer have our sins absolved by our Priests. This needs answering...wouldn't you agree?

    God Bless You

  6. Hi PTL...You stated..."The messages are telling us how Satan controls the vatican.

    There is no doubt that a faction of evil men are in the Vatican. It's a big institution and has always contained sinners and saints. Sinners who would like to take control...and saints who work with the Holy Spirit in order to keep the gates from prevailing. So who will win? Obviously we have Jesus' promise that the opposing forces will be defeated. They simply cannot win!

    You also stated..."The fact is, these things are coming to pass and the pope, be it Francis or a Resurrected John Paul II is the false prophet"

    But nothing has come to pass! The Vatican is as it always was, as I have pointed out above. The only way it can ever be taken over, the Vatican not the Church, is when a "deceiver" steals the throne..so if you have read St Francis' prophecy and come up with a wrong conclusion, as many have done, read it again. It says the "deceiver" is uncanonically elected. Now that changes things doesn't it?
