The problem is that this is usually seen as still being in the future - second coming stuff.
Possibly the most informative text within The Bible concerning Satan is found in
Ezekial 28We know that this account is talking about a man because within the context of scripture Cherubs are angels, not men. Verse 14 mentions the subject as being a cherub.Also
Isaiah 14:12" How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
it says in genesis. the first book in the bible and if i recall correctly around the 5th chapter
No, that's Kain - There is no clear mention of throwing Satan out in the bible. Not counting Revelations which is not supposed to have happened yet. The story everyone knows is mainly from Milton's "Paradise Lost" but also the Quran and LDS-texts
Isaiah chapter 14 refers to the king of Babylon, who laid the nations low. It talks of his pomp and splendour, how he had ruled the nations in anger, and his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the Morning Star (and was thus derisorily called 'Lucifer' - lucem ferre, which mean "light-bearer", a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. A careful reading of the Bible shows that this passage was only about a defeated king, not the Prince of Evil.
A passage in the Book of Revelation, chapter 12, speaks of Satan cast out of heaven, and was probably based on that earlier misunderstanding of the Book of Isaiah.
The Bible.
Answer:
God caused the Bible to be written in such a way that, like Jesus' parables, it wouldn't be understood by the "multitudes."
"...because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matt.13:13)
The Word of God is written: "...precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." (Isa.28:13)
To most people, the Bible is a confusing book. To others a book of disjointed confusion. It's an annual bestseller... that few people understand.
The Bible is a puzzle that must be pieced together to see the whole picture. It has to be diligently studied to discover the connecting pieces... but most of all... God has to open a human mind and heart to its Truth, or its puzzle remains unsolved to the reader.
The revelation of Satan is found "here a little and there a little" in scripture... not all in one book.
Certainly, we can go to Revelation 12 to get an overview of Satan and his past and future wrathful end time activities. Mention of his being "cast out of heaven" is found here.
"...he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev.12:9)
Isaiah 14 offers "here a little" more information about Satan's "government coup attempt in heaven," which got him cast back down to earth, calling him "Lucifer."
"How thou art fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground..." (verse 12).
Isaiah couches it amid a parable, saying, "...thou shalt take up a proverb against the king of Babylon..." (verse 4). This causes many to "not see" that it's about Satan... and to "not understand" the additional information about Satan hidden there.
Although there are those who are able to see it... by God's grace.
Over in Matthew 4:8-9 -- "here a little" more information is revealed as to Satan's "ownership of all the kingdoms on earth" [of whom the king of Babylon was once one in Isaiah's day].
Again, in Ezekiel 28 -- "here a little" more of the puzzle pieces are offered to those with the eyes to see.
Ezekiel takes up his parable in the form of a "...lamentation upon the king of Tyrus..." [verse 12]! Another human king of another one of the world's "Satan-owned" kingdoms.
Ezekiel was inspired to say: "...Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God..." (same verse).
First of all, it's highly doubtful that God would call any pagan king "perfect"... but, for sure, the king of Tyrus wasn't in the Garden of Eden! Satan, "that old serpent" - [Rev.12:9] was!
Then, Ezekiel writes: "...Thou are the anointed cherubthat covereth..." (verse 14).
Cherubs [pronounced kar'- oob] are angels... not men. "Here a little" information is given as to Lucifer's [Satan's] origin when he was "created perfectly" in the beginning before he corrupted himself by his own beauty (verses 13-17).
Granted... the king of Tyrus may well have been guilty of "Narcissism," too, along with so many other kings down through history. But none of them were ever cherubs or in the Garden of Eden. And we can assume with a certain amount of surety that they all got it from their master, "Satan the kingdom-owner."
But, these are a few of the places in the Bible and pieces of the puzzle, "here a little, and there a little," that help fill us in on a bit of background on Satan's being cast out of heaven... and why.
Jesus was there at the time as the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament who made all the angels [including Lucifer] and the universe [see John 1:3]. He would later, when He walked the earth as a man, recall and testify to Satan's forcible removal from heaven:
"...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)
Here a little, and there a little... a more complete picture can be seen among the scriptures regarding this and many other subjects within the Truth of God [the Bible - John 17:17]. But it probably won't be found all in one book.
The first answer above is correct, as far as it goes. Satan's story is found in "the book" called the Bible. But, "the book" is composed of many books. And no one of them... nor do all of them... reveal the whole picture individually.
New International Version (NIV)
18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Where in the Bible does it say the Satan was walking through Heaven?
It doesn't say Satan was walking through heaven but walking on earth. This is in the Old Testament book of Job:Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.Job 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
Why did Jesus say No man has ascended into heaven except he that came down from heaven?
cause he didn't
When do Christian's ascend to heaven?
never. heaven doesn't exist. If i remember right though the bible does say heaven will come down to earth. so according to the bible the answer is still never. But heaven coming down to earth will happen when Jesus returns and defeats sin/satan. this is not given a specific time, I think it says 'soon' somewhere in the Bible and people have been expecting his return to happen within their lifetime since he died. source: memory of intro to old testament at TWU and church

What part of the bible does it say where Satan came from?
Revelation 12:7-9 tells us "And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."Isaiah 14:12-15 "How you have fallen from heaven,O star of the morning, son of the dawn!You have been cut down to the earth,You who have weakened the nations!13"But you said in your heart,'I will ascend to heaven;I will raise my throne above the stars of God,And I will sit on the mount of assemblyIn the recesses of the north.14'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;I will make myself like the Most High.'15"Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol,To the recesses of the pit."

Only God, the one and only one, knows.Could you tell the number of stars in the sky... could you tell the number of hairs in anyone head.. Could tell the number of the trees in the world.. If you can tell... one can tell you how many angels in the world..
Where does it say that Satan took a third of Heaven with him to earth?
The Apocalyptic Book of Jubilees specified that nine tenths of the angels fell and were thrown out of heaven, while one tenth remained sinless and loyal to God. Apparently, medieval writers reversed these proportions, which must have seemed too embarrassingly disproportionate.Answer:The symbolism of the parable that is the book of Revelation indicates that Satan [the Dragon - Rev.12:9] swept one-third of God's created angels into his "government coup attempt" on God's throne in heaven in the beginning."...his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven..." (Rev.12:4).Revelation 1:20 reveals the symbol for "angels" is "stars.""...The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches..."It was this "one-third of God's angels" along with Satan who were cast out of heaven onto the earth where they have been restrained and not permitted to leave, pending Judgment Day, according to Peter and Jude [Rev.12:8-9; II Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6][Rev.] - "...neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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."[II Peter] - "...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [tartarus: a spiritual condition of restraint], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment."[Jude] - "...And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment of the Great Day."Satan didn't take one-third of heaven to earth... he took one-third of God's angels into heaven to try to "take the universe" away from God."...thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High..." (Isa.14:13-14)."And there was war in heaven..." (Rev.12:7).This attempt was thwarted, and Satan didn't take his angels to earth with him... they were all forcibly detained here against their will until Judgment Day."...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)
Where does God battle Satan?
It is not have an end...never! they are both the same,you cannot think or believe only in one of them...Light and Darkness is our insticts!!! According to Jesus and the Christian Scriptures, Satan is ever present, trying to turn us away from God. Therefore we must be continually on guard. The Scriptures also tell us that our bodies are 'temples of the Holy Spirt ' the third person of the Holy Trinity' who is God. So it may be concluded that God fights Satan constantly through us. God doesn't really battle against Satan per se. As a created being, Satan is subservient to God just as we are. Like many of us, Satan choses not to follow God or to obey Him. Satan strives to hurt God but cannot do so, so Satan goes after those who are born-again members of God's family. Believers battle against Satan using the spiritual tools given by God. At the end of Satan's career there will be "battle in heaven" with God's holy angels doing battle against Satan and the fallen angels. Satan will be cast out of heaven and his sphere will be limited to earth. These are called the end times. At Christ's second coming Satan will be bound by an angel and cast into a pit for a thousand years. After this time Satan will be set free for a short time and then be cast by Christ into the Lake of Fire for eternity. I guess it's fair to say that God battles Satan through believers and through His angels. God could eliminate Satan at any time of His choosing, but He allows Satan to go about his disobedience to a degree. Satan can do only as much as God allows. Look at Job chapter 1 for a good example.
Why do fear lucifer?
Some say "Because Lucifer is Satan, a.k.a. the devil. We can be afraid of him, but we need to say Jesus and God's names aloud and he will run away because he is scared. Trust God!" There is nothing to fear there; the spirits are subject to me. "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." (Luke 10:20 AV)
