Nothing in the Bible says that Satan is an angel (including a cherub, which is definitely a type of angel). However, the Bible *does* say this about Satan:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2co%2011:14&multilayout=cols&version1=49&version2=9

So: Satan can take on the **appearance** of an angel of light. Note also that the book of Job in the Bible *strongly* suggests that Satan is an angel, as it describes Satan as a being able to travel freely from Earth to the presence of God in Heaven.



Finally: Jesus teaches us this:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2010:18&multilayout=cols&version1=49&version2=9



So:

- almost certainly Satan is (or "was," if you prefer) an angel

- Satan is *not* described as an "angel of fire" anywhere in the Bible, but he *can* **take on the appearance** of an "angel of light", which may seem similar





Note that several angels associated with fire *do* appear in the Bible.



- the burning bush that spoke to Moses, which was identified by the Bible as an angel



- the "angel of the Lord" who told Manoah and his wife about their future son Samson; he "ascended in the flame of the altar"



- cherubim (a "cherub" is a particular type of angel) alongside a flaming sword guarded the entrance to Eden after Adam and Eve were evicted



- Jim, http://www.bible-reviews.com/



P.S. I believe that - traditionally, not Biblically - Michael is associated with fire as he was described by tradition as wielding a flaming sword. The traditional (not Biblical) elemental assignments to the traditional 4 archangels are:

Michael - fire

Gabriel - air

Raphael - water

Uriel - earth

Angel of fire??? No satan is not an angel. He is an angel that does Gods dirty work. He is a finger of God, He will suffer in the lake of fire along with the beast and false prophet and whoever else is going there. The bible does not say anything about an angle of fire., You should try reading it and than you shall know what it says.

I'm prety sure that Uriel, the angel who guards the entrance to Eden with a burning sword, is the Angel of Fire.

satan is not an angel, nor does the Bible (1611 KJV) say he is anywhere in it. he was the annointed cherub that covers. not an angel, never an angel. however, he sometimes appears as an angel of light (falsely) he is not an angel, nor is he light.

Satan was once an aangel named Lucifer and that means light bearer - then he fell from glory and became satan that can appear as an angel of light.

No. Uriel brings the Fire-element.



Michael the earth-element.



Raphael...the water-element.



Gabriel...the air-element..!
