Satan, aka Lucifer who was a prominent angel in heaven, was cast out for leading a revolution against God on account of his envy, or jealousy(called the War Of Heaven). The passages in The Bible that mention lucifer are rather obscure, but have been hammed up over the years in books such as Paradise Lost (& regained) by Milton, Dante Aligheri's Inferno etc.
The amalgamation of lucifer & Satan, as primordial being of evil had thus been formed. Thus we refer to lucifer as Satan now.
AnswerFoolish pride.Because of Pride, the Devil rebelled against his Creator, the LORD God of Israel, and attempted to recruit his fellow angels to join him an his plot to violently overthrow God, the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven.
We can only speculate about this. Man only "discovered" the laws of nature up and running in his world... he didn't create them. We have come to rely on them, that they might continue to work as God designed them [gravity, inertia, etc]... and that He might continue to sustain them, that we might not perish from off the earth. Jesus tells us:
"...I beheld Satan AS LIGHTNING fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)
All we can do is take what Jesus gives us and run with it.
What does it take to manipulate... just by "willing" it... the laws that govern a powerful lightning charge -- something that would leave a man in smouldering ashes were he to be struck by it?
We can't begin to imagine how to do it, but according to Jesus, whatever power is unleashed to accomplish it was used to cast Satan to earth.
Whatever powers those angelic armies wielded against each other when they waged that "war in heaven"... evidence is still visible in the heavens today of its devastation. The debris is still floating and hurtling through space.
"...and the earth 'became' formless and void..." [ruined] as a result of it. [Gen.2]
And the hurtiling fragments of it continue to threaten the earth with their devastation should some of them pass too close... or even impact the earth.
Jesus tells us that the Word of God, the Bible, is Truth [John 17:17].
Therefore, not only Satan... but the army of angels that joined him in battle, impacted the earth with the tremendous force of perhaps millions of massive lightning charges -- which, only through the modern miracle of "computer graphics" can we begin to imagine the impact it might have had on the planet earth.
"...he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev.12:9)
The powers of God are limitless. And as for the power to subdue angels... we are told that we too are at war with them...
"...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual darkness in high places..." (Eph.6:12).
And that only with the armor of God might we be able to just withstand them.
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil." (Eph.6:11)
We cannot begin to imagine what it took to cast Satan and his angels to the earth. All we can know [if the Bible is indeed the Truth]... is that God was able to accomplish it... and that He has the power to sustain the restraints He has on them until Judgment Day.
"...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." (Jude 1:6)
Spirit beings aren't affected by the physical laws of nature... but they can wield them. The Word of God, however, is compared in the Bible to a powerful twoedged sword... and Satan and his demons were laid wide open by it:
"...piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit... and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb.4:12)
The Word of God works on the physical and the spiritual. God said, "Let there be light"... and by the will of His Word, there was light. Likewise, by that same powerful Sword was Satan cast from heaven.
Many biblical scholars point to Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 as pointing to this event. Here is part of Ezekiel 28 to peruse:
'Thus says the Lord God:
"You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
16 "By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
Lucifer Fallen Angel was kicked out of heaven and is known as Devil, Demon, and Satan.
Zero. No Angel has been kicked out of heaven. Angels are pure and made of light, they have no freedom to pick sin. The jinn on the other hand have freedom to pick sin if they please. There were and still are jinn being kicked out of paradise.
No. The Devil was kicked out Heaven millenia ago.
Because ever since Satan was kicked out of Heaven, his goal is to get people to turn away from God. So Satan was just by the tree of good and evil waiting for one of them to come by so that he could trick them into eating from the tree.
The Bible does not mention a worship leader being kicked out of heaven because of pride. The story of Lucifer, who rebelled against God due to his pride and was cast out of heaven, is often associated with this concept. Lucifer was not a worship leader but an angel who desired to be like God.
Satan (before his downfall - King of Tyre before his demotion to Prince) was cast out of Heaven in Ezekiel 28:16-17. Lord Jesus bears witness in Luke 10:18.
According to Christian theology, Satan was cast out of heaven and into Hell after rebelling against God. This rebellion led to a war in heaven, in which Satan and his followers were defeated and subsequently banished to Hell as punishment for their disobedience.
Satan said farewell to Heaven when he challenged God.
Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is as old as God and Heaven themselves: they are timeless. They always were and always will be; there was no birth of either God or Satan and there will be no death of either, either. =) Satan used to be an angel-- one of the closest to God himself, and this angel was named Lucifer. Lucifer tried to rebel against God, questioning why God alone was superior to the rest, and as punishment God exiled Lucifer and all those who followed him from Heaven. Thus, the reign on Earth of Satan and his demons began.
it was lucifer.
With envy & disdain.
A life of eternal fire and burning for Satan in hell.
