Lucifer dared to challenge the supremacy of God. He did not believe that God was all-powerful, and thought that he himself could equal God in might. Many rebel Angels rallied to his cause, including Belial and Ashtaroth.

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.

Satan strongly disagreed with God and Jesus about how people on earth would live(god wanted people to have free agency, Satan wanted to tell people what to do), and he was banished from of heaven.

This is not in the Bible, please provide quote.

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.

Satan was banished from heaven because he wanted to take over and started becoming an evil angel.

According to the Bible, he thought that he could rule the world instead of God so he was put in this world until the end when God's plan is accomplished. Further study is recomended.

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;

Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is as old as God and Heaven themselves: they are timeless.

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.
