Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
going to and fro—rather, "hurrying rapidly to and fro." The original idea in Arabic is the heat of haste (Matthew 12:43; I Peter 5:8). Satan seems to have had some peculiar connection with this earth. Perhaps he was formerly its ruler under God. Man succeeded to the vice royalty (Genesis 1:26; Psalms 8:6). Man then lost it and Satan became prince of this world. The Son of man (Psalms 8:4) —the representative man, regains the forfeited inheritance (Revelation 11:15). Satan's replies are characteristically curt and short. When the angels appear before God, Satan is among them, even as there was a Judas among the apostles.
