In this article, we’ll explore the symbolism of goats in Scripture, what Scripture has to say about goats versus sheep, and why Satan is ultimately a goat. So why does the creature of a goat represent the devil? Didn’t he appear as a serpent in the Garden of Eden ( Genesis 3)? Besides the goats of Mount Gilead verse in Song of Solomon 4, we don’t really see goats having a positive connotation in Scripture.įor those of us familiar with images of the occult, we often know that they will use a goat, especially those in Satanism circles. Even if we haven’t had a chance to explore Scripture much, we understand that sheep tend to have good, heavenly connotations.
