As with all of my articles, please let me know if and where I'm in error (in writing) as I will retract and correct the error(s) in writing. Lets try to get one of the biggest controversies about the devil out of the way first:

God said in Job 38: 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.  7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Here we read the Devil who was, and still is an Angel, also called "sons of God" was alive when God laid the foundations of the earth. This is a "foundational" truth. We also know via the Bible that the Devil who was called Lucifer was perfect in all his ways when God created him; this is found in Ezekiel 28:15.) :

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee,

... and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. (Here we read that Satan will actually be destroyed in the end, i.e., burnt to ashes, not being punished for ever and ever.... read more about this in my paper titled  "Is there a literal Hell where one is tormented for ever": )

God Created Righteous Lucifer; Lucifer Created Wicked Satan. The horrendously wicked spirit-being that we now know as Satan has not always existed. Lucifer, the one who became Satan, was created by God, not as the evil loser that he is now, but as the above Scripture describes, created "full of wisdom and perfect in beauty." Satan was, at a time long ago, when he was known as Lucifer (Lucifer, meaning light bringer, is how his name was rendered in translation; his actual name, as it was written in the Scriptures, is pronounced in Hebrew as hay-ale, which means brightness), perfectly righteous and obedient before God. But Satan went bad, very bad. God created the perfectly-righteous Lucifer, by God's choice. Lucifer created the absolutely-wicked Satan, by Lucifer's choice.

O.k., so know we know Lucifer was created perfect, with a "free will" and he eventually sinned as was thrown out of Heaven. But also, the devil (Satan) was “a murderer from the beginning” John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And he “sinneth from the beginning” - 1John 3: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

To what beginning does this refer? Does it refer to the beginning of the six-day creation or from the creation/beginning of Lucifer? If Lucifer was perfect at the time of his own creation, but was a murderer and sinner at the time of the creation of the earth the devil had to fall in sin sometime after his creation and before the beginning of the world as found in the first chapter of Genesis.

 

Lucifer was the Anointed Cherub; anointed means to be set apart for Gods Divine purpose. It also means "bestowal of Gods divine favor", and "appointment to a special place or function." God had given Satan a certain amount of power and authority. But he perverted that power. Lucifer wanted to exalt himself above God... rather than "just" being the Angel of God. So here the question is "why did God create Lucifer"?  Colossians 1:16 states, “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him.” We know from scripture that Lucifer had dominion and authority. This authority was given to Lucifer by God. I believe Jesus (the Word) created Lucifer as with all the Angels to worship and to do His bidding but with the "liberty" free will, not like a robot, but like us Humans to choose right from wrong. The Angles, just like Adam and Eve were given rules from the beginning. The Word is like a school teacher as this teacher love his students and wants them to learn and hopefully praise the teacher for teaching them truth.  However this teacher must also keep structure in the class room thus he must create rules or boundaries for the students, e.g., no talking during a lesson, no leaving your seat unless excused by the teacher etc. So if one of his students breaks a rule, the teacher who still loves the student must enforce the rule with a consequence, e.g., staying after class, sitting in the corner, etc.. However if and when the student apologizes (repents) they are allowed to return to the class room and if they "sin no more" will be allowed to continue in the orderly class room.

So why didn't God destroy Satan and his followers when they sinned against Him?

Because God desires all of our "free" worship and respect, if He had destroyed them, the rest of the Angels would now serve God out of fear, not love; they would be like robots and God doesn't want that type of love.

Lucifer was created perfect in all his ways, but iniquity was found in him. It was not put there by God. Lucifer created it. Like man, the angels were created perfect, and with a free will. Satan was lifted up because of his beauty, he corrupted the wisdom by reason of his brightness (This is in Ezekiel 28:17) (God said:) "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty." (Ezek 28.12)

"Thou sealest up the sum" -- When God created intelligent life forms, He evidently had in mind an upper limit as to how much wisdom and beauty He would bestow on any particular one of his creatures. In Ezekiel 28.12 this limit is referred to as "the sum."

• To a frog, God bestowed a small percentage of "the sum." To a dog, God bestowed a higher percentage of "the sum." And so forth.
• On Satan, however, God bestowed the FULL LIMIT -- "the sum" of wisdom and beauty. Thus, Ezekiel 28.12 says that Satan "sealest up the sum, FULL of wisdom, and PERFECT in beauty."

In other words, Satan is the most intelligent and most beautiful creature that God ever made. Of course, we are talking about EXTERNAL beauty here. As to Satan's heart it became quite black and totally ugly.

So He (God) drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen 3.24) (God said:) "And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat... And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim... (Exod 25.18, 25.22a; NKJV) (God said to Satan as king of Tyre:) "You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you... (Ezek 28.14a)

Guardianship is the main job of cherubim (plural of cherub), as is demonstrated by Genesis 3.24, and as is illustrated by Exodus 26.18 and 25.22a. (See also Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10.) As stated in Ezekiel 28.14, Satan is the cherub who was anointed by God to the incredibly high honor of serving as a personal guardian to God's presence and holiness.

(God said:) "Now see that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver from My hand." (Deu 32.39) - Why would the all-powerful God need guardians? The simple answer is, God doesn't NEED anything or anyone -- guardians or otherwise. Rather, for reasons God has not seen fit to reveal, He has CHOSEN to administer His creation in and through His creatures, angelic and human alike.

 

 

________________________________________________________________________

We'll begin with the "gap" theory as if there is no gap and the devil was created on the first day of the six days of creation, he must have been created as a sinner and a murderer—since he was these things from the beginning. But this is impossible for three reasons.

1. First, this interpretation would make God the author of sin.
2. Second, the Bible clearly states that the devil was perfect from his creation and that iniquity was not found in him until a later date (see Ezekiel 28:15).
3. In Gen 1:31 God saw everything He had made and behold it was VERY good.

If he was perfect at the time of his own creation, but was a murderer and sinner at the time of the beginning or creation, the devil had to fall in sin somewhere between the time of his creation and the beginning of the world as found in the first chapter of Genesis. Only the "gap theory" provides a time for this. This view teaches that God originally created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1), including angels and also including (as some would say) a race of pre-Adamic men (ape-men?) and animals (such as dinosaurs). They believe in a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 there is a vast amount of time, even millions of years. During this time many things are said to have happened, such as Satan's fall into sin, the earth judged, and dinosaurs becoming extinct. This theory was devised in order to try to harmonize the facts of Genesis chapter one with evolutionary theory and their so-called geological ages.

Here is more so-called proof for this gap theory:

(Spoken to Satan as king of Tyre:) 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. (Ezek 28.13a)

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. (Gen 2.8-9a)

A garden of minerals

Satan's original domain was Planet Earth, where he resided in the garden of God called Eden.

• This was NOT the Eden that God made for Adam and Eve.
• The Eden of Adam and Eve was a garden of vegetation -- "every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food." (Gen 2.8-9)
• On the other hand, Satan resided in an earlier version of Eden that was a garden of minerals -- sardius, topaz, diamond, and so forth. (Ezek 28.13)

I disagree with this logic as I don't believe there were two Garden's of Eden.....  With this said, if we are really honest with ourselves we've got to come to the conclusion that God and His angelic host must have lived prior to 6000 years ago in another dimension of space and time as we know God (the Trinity) has no beginning and they did create the angels, but when?

Satan must have been alive before our universe was created, however, since I believe in the literal 6 days (24 hour) creation I do not believe in any "gap" theory.  I believe Satan was created and lived in another dimension or another "world" prior to the creation of our universe. Therefore when the Word created this universe (I don't know if God has created other universe's but I'd speculate He has) I believe God allowed Satan to also live in this new world which was perfect where even the "laws of the universe" were not yet in force; e.g., the 2nd law or the law of entropy.  I believe in the free will (liberty) of man and I also believe God had given Adam and Eve a form of "grace" in the Garden as He had already created Laws, e.g., resting on every 7th day, do not murder, do not steal, etc. I also believe God wanted to show His angels that He would allow them to have this same liberty (free will) in this new universe (including Satan.) I also believe God i.e., Jesus Christ killed the first animal, shedding its blood to "cover" the sins of Adam and Eve which was a type of His future Grace for our time. Remember that is was not the Devil who caused the "Fall" but it was man.  So the questions still is "when was Satan created"; before or after the 6 day creation? 

The Gen: 2 to 3 theory:

Some say Satan's fall took place in the gap between Genesis chapter 2 and Genesis chapter 3; this view is held by many good creationists and Bible teachers. These people also hold to a recent earth (the age of the earth in terms of thousands of years, not millions of years) and they hold to a literal six day creation week. They assume that the creation of Satan took place during the creation week (on the very first day of the creation week). They base their assumption on Exodus 20:11, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." They would argue that the Creator made the heaven(s) and the earth in six days and He made all that is in the heaven(s) and the earth in six days. Since the angels, including Lucifer, are part of all that is in heaven, they conclude that the creation of Lucifer took place during the six days of creation.  They would also draw our attention to Colossians 1:16 where the Bible includes angels in God's work of creation:  The verse says "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."  The main problems are:

• Satan was created during the first 6 days  
• Satan was created "perfect in all his ways" -- NOT evil
• God created Satan as the most intelligent and beautiful of all His creatures
• God anointed Satan to serve as a guardian of God's presence and holiness; most likely the most powerful cherub 
• Satan had to fall sometime after Adam and Eve were created but before they were kicked out of the Garden - Gen 3:23

 

But lets read about the 3rd theory, i.e.:

1. The  "gap" theory
2. The Gen: 2 to 3 theory
3. The pre 6-day theory

In the Bible there are three places called "heaven"

1) The earth's atmospheric envelope or sky, from whence falls the rain. (Gen 8.1)

2) The celestial heaven, wherein the stars are located. (Gen 15.5)

3) The "Third Heaven" called Paradise, where God's throne is located. (2 Cor 12.2-4)

This position is that the fall of Satan took place prior to Genesis chapter one and assumes the creation of Satan (Lucifer) and his fall both took place prior to Genesis 1:1. Consider the following:

1. Genesis chapter one describes in detail the six days of creation and what was created on each day. The chapter talks about the creation of the earth, the atmosphere, the sun and moon, the stars, the dry land, the plants, and the animals. In this chapter nothing is said at all about the creation of the angels. Was this simply an omission, or is it possible that the creation of the angels did not fall within these six days?

2. Exodus 20:11 places the creation of Lucifer within the creation week only if it is assumed that the expression "heaven" (or "heavens") refers not only to the first and second heavens, but to the third heaven as well.

3. A comparison between Exodus 20:11 and another verse on creation found in Nehemiah 9:6 is helpful. The Nehemiah passage definitely refers to the creation of angels. Notice the expressions that are used: "For in six days the LORD made heaven (or heavens) and earth, the sea, and all that in them is" (Exodus 20:11).

"Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven (or heavens), the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven angels worshippeth thee" (Neh. 9:6).

Notice the additional phrase used in the Nehemiah passage, "the heaven of heavens." This is the Hebrew way of making a superlative. "A superlative sense is expressed by joining a noun with its own plural in the genitive" (Hebrew Syntax by Davidson).  The superlative is also used in English. An example is, "The Bible is the Book of Books!" By this we mean that the Bible is the greatest Book of all. Here are some Bible examples: "Slave of slaves" means the lowest slave (Gen. 9:25). "Holy of holies" means most holy (Exodus 26:33). "Song of songs" means the most excellent song. "King of kings" means the greatest of all kings (Ezekiel 26:7 and see 1 Tim. 6:15: Rev. 17:14; 19:16). For other examples see Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar, (Section 133i). Thus, "the heaven of heavens" means "the greatest of the heavens" or "the highest of all heavens" (see Brown, Driver and Briggs’ Hebrew Lexicon). The highest of all heavens can only refer to the third heaven, which is the abode of God and angels (where Satan and a third of his followers were thrown out.)

The expression "heaven of heavens" is found in the following passages:

1. Deuteronomy 10:14 - Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein
2. 1 Kings 8:27 - But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee;
3. 2 Chronicles 2:6 - But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him?
4. 2 Chronicles 6:18 - But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot
5. Nehemiah 9:6 - thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
6. Psalm 68:33 - To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice,
7. Psalm 148:4 - Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

In each of these passages the phrase clearly refers to the third heaven, "the highest of all heavens." Notice also that Psalm 148:1-4 is another passage (like Nehemiah 9:6) which mentions the angels (v.2) and in the same context mentions the highest of all heavens (v.4). Also Psalm 68:33 refers to the heavens of heavens which were of old. This indicates that the highest heaven is in some sense ancient or old. Why would this be said if the first, second and third heavens were all created recently during the six days of the creation week? But if the creation of the third heaven pre-dated the creation the first and second heaven, it would be appropriate to speak of the third heaven as being "of old" or ancient.

Exodus 20:11 does not mention the heaven of heavens and Genesis chapter one does not mention the heaven of heavens either. Neither of these passages mention angels. Could it be that Exodus 20:11 and Genesis 1 refer only to the first and second heavens and not to the third heaven? And if so, is this an indication that the third heaven with all its host had already been created prior to the six days of creation?

The Hebrew word "heaven" always occurs in the plural form and may be translated "heavens" if the context so demands. Thus Genesis 1:1 could be translated "God created the heavens and the earth" (referring to the first and second heavens). There are times in the Bible when "heaven" can refer to the third heaven (Matt. 6:9), or the second heaven (Psalm 8:3), or the first heaven (Matt. 6:26 "fowls of the heaven"), but the expression "heaven of heavens" only refers to the third heaven.

4. The expression "the heaven(s) and the earth" (found in Genesis 1:1 and Exodus 20:11) refers to the UNIVERSE (the Hebrew language did not have a word for universe as we do). The universe is made up of the earth, the first heaven and the second heaven and includes the earth with its solar system, its galaxy and the millions of galaxies around it. The third heaven is beyond our universe and unseen by any telescope.

5. Exodus 20:11 and Genesis 1:1 both refer to the creation of the universe (the heavens and the earth), that took place in six literal 24 hour days. In both Exodus 20:11 and Genesis chapter one, no mention is made of the heaven of heavens or the creation of angels or the creation of the throne of God or the creation of anything else which relates to the third heaven. Also in Ezekiel chapter 28 which tells us of Satan before his fall, there is nothing in the description which speaks of the earth. It all appears to be a heavenly scene, not an earthly scene. Thus the focus of Ezekiel 28 is upon the third heaven (prior to the creation of the universe) and the focus of Genesis one is upon the earth.

6. In the passages which do clearly mention the third heaven and the creation of angels (Colossians 1:16 and Nehemiah 9:6), nothing is said concerning the time frame of creation. The main point being stressed in these verses is that He is the Creator of all things.

7. A comparison of Exodus 20:11 with Nehemiah 9:6 would indicate that the expression "heaven(s)" does not necessarily include "the heaven of heavens." A distinction seems to be made. If Nehemiah felt he needed to add the expression "heaven of heavens" to include the creation of angels, then it seems possible to say that the omission of this expression in Exodus 20:11 suggests that the creation of angels is not in view.

8. It would be nice and neat to be able to say that everything (including the "heaven of heaven" and its host) was created within the six day creation week, but does the Bible actually say this? It may seem awkward to posit a creation of the third heaven prior to the creation of the universe. However, this view actually harmonizes more easily with Job 38:7 that says, "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy."  This passage in the ancient book of Job is referring to the time when God laid the foundation of the earth. The angels were already there as witnesses and they were rejoicing at God’s work of creation. A natural and normal reading of Job 38 seems to indicate that when God created the earth (Genesis 1:1 on the very first day of creation), the angels were already there witnessing this event. The text in Job 38 does not seem to imply that these angels were recently created just moments before. One would assume by just reading Job 38 that the angels were created PRIOR to the creation of the earth. Genesis 1:1 seems to put the creation of the earth at the very beginning of DAY ONE of creation. Note: Those who place the creation of angels within the six days are thus forced to say that they were created at the very beginning of the creation week so that they could thus witness the laying of the foundation of the earth, which also took place early on the first day of creation. This understanding seems strained and forced.

SATAN - THE PRINCE AND KING OF TYRE by Rick Reinckens       Ezekiel 28:1-10 [1] The word of the LORD came to me: [2] "Son of man, say to the ruler [most translations: prince] of Tyre, `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "`In the pride of your heart you say, "I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas." But you are a man and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god. [3] Are you wiser than Daniel? Is no secret hidden from you? [4] By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries. [5] By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud. [6] "`Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "`Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god, [7] I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor. [8] They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas. [9] Will you then say, "I am a god," in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a man, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you. [10] You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"    (Note that these excerpts are actually consecutive.)       Ezekiel 28:11-19 [11] The word of the LORD came to me: [12] "Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "`You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. [13] You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. [14] You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. [15] You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. [16] Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. [17] Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. [18] By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. [19] All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.'"    To whom do these remarkable passages refer?    Verses 1-10 refer at least primarily to the prince of Tyre then reigning, Ittiobalus by name, according to Josephus. They were fulfilled in the siege of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar.    Tyre was a great seafaring, naval, and financial power, the Wall Street of its time. Its core was on a highly fortified island, which made it practically impervious to attack. Ultimately, Alexander the Great completed the conquest of Tyre by taking rubble from the ruins of the mainland construction and using it to build a road to the island so his armies could mount a sustained assault on the fortifications.    Verses 11-19 have expressions which it is difficult, if not impossible, to refer to any mere man, e.g., verses 12-14. There are however, other verses that seem to indicate an earthly kingdom, e.g., 16 and 18.    What is the explanation of this enigma?    We frequently find in prophecy that the prophet is borne on from speaking of a contemporaneous event to some event of the last times, of which the contemporaneous event is in some respects a type.    For instance, in Matthew 24:15-21 Christ speaks of the destruction of Jerusalem, which was in a very true sense a Day of the Lord:       Matthew 24:15-21 [15] "So when you see standing in the holy place `the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel -- let the reader understand -- [16] then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. [17] Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. [18] Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. [19] How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! [20] Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. [21] For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now -- and never to be equaled again.    From this, he passes on to speak of the great Day of the Lord yet to come:       Matthew 24:22-31 [22] If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. [23] At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not believe it. [24] For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect -- if that were possible. [25] See, I have told you ahead of time. [26] "So if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, `Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. [27] For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [28] Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. [29] "Immediately after the distress of those days " `the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.' [30] "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. [31] And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.    So swift is the transition from the one to the other that it is difficult to mark exactly where it takes place. It is the same in Ezekiel's prophecy. Ittiobalus was in important respects an archetype of "the man of lawlessness."       Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say to the ruler [most translations: prince] of Tyre, `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: `"In the pride of your heart you say, "I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas." But you are a man and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god."'       2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 [3] Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. [4] He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.       Daniel 11:41-45 [41] He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. [42] He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. [43] He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Nubians in submission. [44] But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. [45] He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.    Turning our focus again to Ezekiel 28:11-19 dealing with the king of Tyre, there are some things that seem to apply to a supernatural and some to an earthly king. This earthly king is to have control over enormous commerce. Compare the great development of commerce in the last days.       Revelation 13:16-17 [16] He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, [17] so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.       Revelation 18:3, 9-19 [3] For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries. [9] When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. [10] Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!" [11] The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more -- [12] cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; [13] cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men. [14] They will say, "The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered." [15] The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn [16] and cry out: "Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! [17] In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!" Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. [18] When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, "Was there ever a city like this great city?" [19] They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: "Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!"    The simplest explanation of all this is that the King of Tyre represents the Anti-Christ (as the Prince of Tyre was the archetype of the Anti-Christ and that he is to be an incarnation of Satan as the true Christ was an incarnation of God.)       2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 [8] And then the lawless one will be revealed, .... [9] The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,    If this is the true interpretation, Ezekiel 28:1-19 teach us much about Satan. POINT 10:   Satan was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, the model of perfection.       Ezekiel 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "`You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. POINT 20:   Satan was in Eden, the garden of God.       Ezekiel 28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.    This does not appear to have been the Adamic Eden, but an earlier one. The Adamic Eden was remarkable for its vegetable glory. (Genesis 2:9) This early Eden was remarkable for its mineral glory. Compare the New Jerusalem which is to be:       Revelation 21:19 10-21 [10] And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. [11] It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. [12] It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. [13] There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. [14] The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. [15] The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. [16] The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [17] He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. [18] The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. [19] The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, [20] the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. [21] The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.    In the Adamic Eden Satan was present not as here, as a minister of God, but as an apostate spirit and a tempter. The glory of this early Eden seems to have been specially prepared for Satan. There was also the pomp of royalty, tabrets and pipes.       Ezekiel 28:13 ... Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. POINT 30:   Satan was chosen as a guardian cherub.       Ezekiel 28:14a (King James Version) Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;    Reviser's Note: The Hebrew here is uncertain. Many translations indicate 'I placed you with a cherub', e.g., "With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you;" (Revised Standard Version).       Ezekiel 28:14a (New International Version) You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you.    The rest of this Point is based on Torrey's interpretation, based on the King James Version. "Covereth" refers to the Mercy Seat -- the Father's throne. In other words, the King James Version says that Lucifer was specially chosen to guard God's throne.    Satan was anointed and set apart as the priest of God.       Compare Leviticus 8:12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him.    A cherub is a high, perhaps the highest, rank in the angelic world. Compare this to the living creatures leading the worship of the universe in Revelation:       Revelation 4:9-10a [9] Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, [10] the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever.    He was not a cherub but the cherub.    He was the cherub "that covers", i.e., that guards. There may be an allusion to this in the covering cherubim.       Exodus 37:9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.    It seems to be hinted that Satan was the one who led the worship of the universe. If so, he tried to direct to himself what properly belonged to God. This is a danger with all priests and ministers. POINT 40:   The Devil was "upon the holy mountain of God" -- i.e., the place where God visibly manifested His glory.       Ezekiel 28:14b You were on the holy mount of God; POINT 50:   The Devil "walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."       Ezekiel 28:14c you walked among the fiery stones.    The living creatures of Ezekiel 1:15, 22, 25, 26 were just beneath a "firmament, like the color of the terrible crystal." "and above the firmament was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone." In Ezekiel (Exodus) 24:10, when the seventy elders "saw the God of Israel," "there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness." In the 17th verse "the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel." This may give us an idea of what "the stones of fire" were. Satan seems to have been very near to God. POINT 60:   Satan is a created being.       Ezekiel 28:15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. POINT 65:   Satan was perfect in his ways from the day that he was created until unrighteousness was found in him.       Ezekiel 28:15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. POINT 70:   Satan's heart was lifted up because of his beauty; he corrupted his wisdom because of his brightness.       Ezekiel 28:17a-b Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.       1 Timothy 3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. POINT 80:   Satan shall be (or is) cast out of the mountain of God and destroyed from the midst of the stones of fire.       Ezekiel 28:16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. POINT 90:   Satan shall be cast to the earth and made a spectacle, and "turned to ashes" before kings and all who behold him.       Ezekiel 28:17b-c [17] ... So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.    Compare the following:       Revelation 12:9-10 [9] The great dragon was hurled down -- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. [10] Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down."       2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.       Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur

Who Created Satan?

 

:

 

*  

 KJV)

And of course Satan was there at the time of Christ's sacrifice:

"When Jesus had thus said, He was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me ... Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when He had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly" (John 13:21,26-27 KJV)

Satan has been the ultimate enemy of Christians, a war against the truth that will intensify as Christ's return draws nearer:

 

"And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child ... And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 12:13,17 KJV)

But Satan's time is running out. He will be caged when Christ returns:

 

"And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." (Revelation 20:1-3 KJV)

 

History of Satan – Where did he come from?
The history of Satan is described in the Bible in Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-19. These two biblical passages also reference the king of Babylon, the King of Tyre, and the spiritual power behind the kings.

What caused Satan to be cast from Heaven? He fell because of pride that originated from his desire to be God instead of a servant of God. Satan was the highest of all the angels, but he wasn’t happy. He desired to be God and rule the universe. God cast Satan out of heaven as a fallen angel.

History of Satan – Who is he?
Satan is often caricatured as a red-horned, trident-raising cartoon villain; no wonder people question the history of Satan. His existence, however, is not based on fantasy. It’s verified in the same book that narrates Jesus’ life and death (Genesis 3:1-16, Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-19; Matthew 4:1-11).

Christians believe Satan acts as leader of the fallen angels. These demons, existing in the invisible spirit realm yet affecting our physical world, rebelled against God, but are ultimately under His control. Satan masquerades as an “angel of light,” deceiving humans just as he deceived Eve in the beginning (Genesis 3).

Jesus Himself testified of Satan’s existence. During His ministry, He personally faced temptation from the devil (Matthew 4:1-11), cast out demons possessing people (Luke 8:27-33), and defeated the evil one and his legion of demon angels at the cross. Christ also helped us understand the ongoing, spiritual war between God and Satan, good and evil (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:17-20).

With Jesus Christ on our side, we need not fear Satan’s limited power (Hebrew 2:14-15). We ought to be wise, however, in resisting his tactics:

 

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

 

History of Satan - What is his place now?
Throughout the history of Satan, evil has been his identity because he is directly opposite God’s character. God’s holy standard found in the Bible exposes evil. If not relying on its truth, we can easily error:

• One error is denying Satan’s existence
• Another mistake is fearfully focusing on Satan rather than on Christ Jesus who overcame him
• Others outright worship Satan, preferring the darkness of evil rather than light that reveals sin (John 3:19; 2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

Any of these approaches please the devil. He wants us denying, fearing, obeying, or worshipping him. Unless we follow the trustworthy source, the Bible, he’ll deceive us (Ephesians 6:10-11).

 

History of Satan - Satan’s seduction versus reality
In our scientific, rational age, spiritual beliefs are scorned as myth. Satan, however, doesn’t mind those who rebuff the reality of fallen angels or demons. By masking himself, he can tempt and deceive people without blame. The wise will never forget that Satan and demons, determined to deceive humans, are fighting real battles and wars against heavenly angels.

Satan compels or entices his prey to follow him whether they realize it or not. Maybe they are simply ignorant and confused. Many would rather believe human theory than obey divine revelation and natural law. Whether blind, bound, or brazenly willing, they join Satan for a doomed destiny. They condemn themselves to eternity in hell.

While Satan is more powerful than we humans, God doesn’t leave us defenseless (Ephesians 6:10-11). At the Lord’s rebuke, Satan and his demons shudder and flee (James 2:19; Jude 1:9). When Jesus Christ died, He overcame them (Colossians 2:15). Only in the authority of Jesus does anyone have power to stand against the devil. Those saved from sin by Jesus’ death on the cross are protected; those who are not saved from Satan’s power perish with him (John 3:16; 1 Peter 5:8-10).

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (KJV)

I do not know who write the falling article but I agree with about 95% of it; I'm not quite sure what he/she means about "planetary" individuals but this is good:

GOD created Satan to be able to best aid in His posterity and prospering of His creative endeavors or existence within the Universe.

Satan was created with the greatest of abilities and powers than any of the other Angels. Satan was to be a Leader for all the other Angels.

Satan worked closely with GOD assisting and helping with GOD's Planned Working throughout the Universe. Satan did work by GOD's side for along time before he did chose to folly. Working side by side with GOD, Satan did learn many things from GOD.

After GOD had initiated His creation of Children of GOD, Satan became resentful and jealous which drove him to folly. Satan knew that GOD was creating Planetary Individuals to become His Children for a most important reason. Children that GOD would place in His Universe with GOD's Own Personal *Image*. Children that GOD would greatly love, deeply cherish, hold in high esteem, fully adore and be devoted to. Satan became annoyed and displeased.

Satan felt jealousy in that GOD had loved His creation of Planetary Children to have created them in His Own Personal *Image* and with a *Living Soul* through His Own *Breathe of Life*.
Satan felt envy... he knew that this *Soul* could and would be used by GOD's creation of Planetary Children as a vessel to attain a greater closeness to GOD Himself than even Satan had.
Satan felt fear... he knew of GOD's Plan for His creation of Planetary Children and their being created to establish GOD's Own Personal *Image* upon Planets throughout the Universe.
Satan knew the Planetary Children would also become greater than he (Satan) was, could, or would be.

GOD did create Satan and the other Angels with Freedom of Choice (free-will). GOD did know the possibility did exist within Free-Will that any of GOD's intelligent creation (Angels or Human) could choose evil over GOD and His GODliness.

Satan's ego and desire for greater glory was growing. Satan did realize and know that he might possibly have to turn from GOD to fulfill those growing desires for greater glory.
Satan also did realize and know that if he did turn from GOD that he did not have a *Soul* through which he could possibly obtain forgiveness or attain eternal living existence within the Universe.

Satan's ego and desire had gotten the best of him... he took it upon himself to alter GOD's Planned Workings within the Universe. Satan had become puffed up in pride thinking he can do things just as good or even better than GOD. Satan caused much destruction to GOD's Planned Workings. GOD cast Satan out-of-Heaven.
GOD never stopped loving Satan (GOD hates the sin, not the sinner). This action GOD had to take, hurt GOD deeply. GOD knew Satan had no remorse. GOD also knew He could never trust Satan again.

The folly of an Angel does have a far greater affect and effect upon GOD's Planned Workings within the Universe, than the folly of any Planetary Individual upon a Planet. Angels that do choose to folly can never become Forgiven, nor ever be trusted again within GOD's Universe.
To whom much is given, much is expected.

There were many Fallen Angels who chose to follow Satan into perdition.
The Fallen Angels were cast-out-of-Heaven, but they still have much of their powers and abilities.
GOD did not want for those powers or abilities to become united, so GOD did restrict (chain) the Fallen Angels to the same geographical areas in the Universe where they did choose to folly.

Satan being the Leader of the Fallen Angels who chose to follow him into perdition was the only Fallen Angel that could control all the other Fallen Angels, and what they did or would possibly do.
Therefore, GOD permitted Satan to travel the Universe to make sure that all the other Fallen Angels throughout the Universe were controlled and did not overstep their allowed bounds/restrictions.
If this did happen, then GOD would become forced to make an end to them and their existence.
Something GOD did not want or desire to do.

Angels have been created with both Physical and Spiritual abilities. They can be either Physical or Spiritual at their own discretion. They can enter the Physical or Spiritual realm.
Fallen Angels **have not** lost this ability when they chose to leave their first estate (Heaven- total allegiance to GOD) following Satan into perdition.
Fallen Angels do have restrictions/boundaries given to them by GOD. If a Fallen Angel continues to rebel by going outside those restrictions/boundaries, GOD then takes away his ability to be physical. 
A Fallen Angel then becomes what is known as a... Demon (or Entity).
That Fallen Angel is then forced to exist as a mere spiritual Being in the spiritual realm waiting on GOD's Final Judgment.
Not all Fallen Angels have lost their ability to be physical. Many Fallen Angels can still be either physical or spiritual at any given time.

GOD does allow Satan to travel throughout the Universe, but is watched very closely at all times. Satan does nothing without GOD's permission.

After being cast-out-of-Heaven, Satan does desire and begin seeking his own glory and kingdom.
Satan realized and knew that he could not establish a kingdom unto Good and GODliness within the Universe, because that is GOD.
Satan knew he could still possibly carve-out his own kingdom for habitation within the Universe in ways other than that of GODliness. A kingdom of evil and ungodliness did become his passion.
Satan did embark upon pathways within his own given abilities and powers that would offer himself his own kingdom through the introduction of sin upon Planetary Societies within the Universe.

Satan does try to introduce sin upon Godly Planets during their early development. He does become successful upon some, and fail upon others. Once Satan does become successful in seducing the GODly Individuals unto ungodliness, Satan does seek deeper blindness for the Planetary Society and its Inhabitants.

Satan's main agenda and goal is to steal GOD from the hearts and minds of GOD's Planetary Children. Satan will do whatever it takes to become successful in complete destruction (physical and spiritual) of as many Planetary Individuals as possible by blinding Planetary Individuals of GOD, GOD's GODliness, and the *Way* to Exist Eternally.

Satan's agenda is to steal, kill, and destroy:
1. The Children's faith in GOD Himself and GOD *Is* Jesus Christ from the hearts, minds and souls of GOD's Planetary Children.
2. The Children's trust in GOD Himself and GOD *Is* Jesus Christ from the hearts, minds and souls  of GOD's Planetary Children.
3. The Children's trust and faith in GOD's written *Word* (Holy Bible) from the hearts, minds and souls of GOD's Planetary Children.
4. The Children's love for GOD Himself, GOD *Is* Jesus Christ, and love for one another from the hearts, minds and souls of GOD's Planetary Children.
5. The Children's specialty unto GOD from the hearts, minds and souls of GOD's Planetary Children.

Satan uses the seduction of lies and half-truths to accomplish this feat of destruction. Satan does know for any lie to last for any length of time (many many year) it must contain some truth.

Satan begins laying his plan of destruction shortly after Mankind's fall. While Mankind's existence as Planetary Individuals is short lived, Satan's plan and introduction of lies to blind Planetary
Individuals continues to grow throughout generations.

Satan does begin laying the ground work and foundation for his End-Of-Times deception within the first generations upon Wayward Planets.
Satan does begin establishing his End-Time deception through mimicking GOD. Satan does begin establishing his own Kingdom of Children through a wayward science/technology known as... Cloning.

Fallen Angels cannot reproduce as Children of GOD are able to. Fallen Angels whom were once Angels were not created with reproductive organs. Fallen Angels had to create their children through a wayward science known as... cloning. - I disagree here as if you read in Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

I agree that Satan can and probably does clone his people, but he has also created his "seed" called the Nephilim

. Let's read what God says about his seed: Gen 3: 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly

The cloned children of the Fallen Angels themselves have also created clones.

Satan does use his cloned kingdom of children to deceive future generations of Earth. A deception that Satan does use upon all Wayward Planets during their End-Of-Times before Jesus does return for the members of His Church (True-to-Faith Christians).

Satan's agenda is to deceive Mankind into believing his kingdom of children are someone other than who they are.

Satan's End-Of-Times deception can be sighted today on Earth as the... Alien/Ufo Phenomenon.

The "Aliens" (Extraterrestrial-Ufo's) are disguised children of the Fallen Angels (clones) deceiving Mankind with lying signs and wonders.

They are NOT space-brothers (observers, inter-planetary scientists) from other Worlds here to help Mankind, nor are they Mankind's creator like they would have and want many to believe. They (Fallen Angels/"Aliens") are ALL evil Beings with the same agenda to take the Knowledge of GOD Himself, GOD *Is* Jesus Christ, and Salvation for Eternal Living Life from the hearts, souls, and minds of GOD's Planetary Children.

The Fallen Angels are using their clones to deceive Mankind into believing they are Beings from different worlds that are no different then Planetary Individuals themselves.

The Children of the Fallen Angels themselves have been created with much of the same powers and abilities as the Fallen Angels. They must obey the same given mandates by GOD, or suffer the same punishment as their creator parents (Fallen Angels).

The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" want Wayward Planetary Individuals to:
-1- Look to Self  (not GOD)... promoting higher spiritual awareness.
-2- Not see sin as sin.
-3- Believe they are here to help Mankind, not to destroy Mankind.
-4- See no need for Salvation through GOD *Is* Jesus Christ. 
-5- Discredit the Bible... claiming Biblical occurrences were previous visitations.
-6- Believe they are the GOD that created Man.

The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" will lead Wayward Individuals to look upon them as saviors and prophets (Matthew.24:24)... They are (master) liars and very experienced deceivers.

The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" will try to discredit the Bible and GOD *Is* Jesus Christ with a lie so convincing that it will actually look like proof to many.

Mankind of Earth is being desensitized, especially the young ones with Alien/Ufo movies, Alien/Ufo commercials, Alien/Ufo cartoons, Alien/Ufo games, Alien/Ufo toys etc.

The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" abduct & experiment on Wayward Planetary Individuals:
1. To deceive with misinformation and disinformation of their true intent.
2. To deceive with misinformation and disinformation of who they truly are.
3. Experiment- in hopes of finding the secret to GOD's creation of a *Soul*. 
Children of GOD are the only creation afforded a *Soul*. The *Soul* is the vehicle to obtain  forgiveness and attain Eternal Living Life.
Angels were not created with a *Soul*. Angels had no need for a *Soul*. Angels were created Eternal Beings. The need for a *Soul* came after the fall.
 The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" hope to create (clone) for themselves a body with a *Soul* that will get them out of their predicament of Final Judgment by GOD.

Knowing Jesus Christ *Is* GOD and calling on Him with unfeigned faith will protect Planetary Individuals from any type of abduction (physical or spiritual) from these Evil Beings. For there is Power in the Name of Jesus Christ. 

The Fallen Angels/"Aliens" have not yet made open public contact with Earth's Individuals because GOD will not allow such to take place until His Planned Workings are in place and complete. GOD will be allowing a Sky Visual introduction sooner than most think. This will take place before Jesus does return for the members of His Church (born-again Christians).
A time of testing the faith of Believers.
Many will fall from faith and believe the flood of lies to come (I Timothy 4:1).

Individuals are spiritually starving. Sadly, many will go to great extents to find or get (spiritual) food even if it kills them. This deception will lead many with open-arms to accept the lies, signs and wonders, and gifts the Fallen Angels/"Aliens" offer. Those that do choose to accept the Fallen Angels/"Aliens" will become enslaved and most dependent on the Fallen Angels/"Aliens" and what they offer.

Fallen Angels/"Aliens" are using the Human emotions of love and kindness to seduce Earth's Planetary Individuals.
A Trojan Horse that many will not sight until to late. (Mark 13:22, I Timothy 4:1) 
Mankind must not ignore the abductions and gruesome experimentation done to their fellow Humans (men, woman, & children), no matter what excuse the "Aliens"/Fallen Angels give.
There is no such thing as a "good alien" and "bad alien". Don't be deceived!
They ("Aliens"/Fallen Angels) All have the same agenda and will take any measure (allowed by GOD) to hide their true intent and hate for ALL Planetary Children created by GOD.

(Luke 11:22, Matt.24:24, Jeremiah 8:17, Isaiah 14:29, I Timothy 4:1, Psalms 78:49, Hebrews 13:2, 
II Cor.11:14-15, 2 Thess. 2:11, Galatians 1:8, Revelations 9:19)

Satan knows that any sought after demise of Mankind on Earth can only become truly successful with the demise of Jews and Christians both. Satan does seek to pit the Jews against the Christians, and visa-versa in any possible way.
Satan seeks to keep Judaism and Christianity in question.
Jewish and Christian religion do hold the key for attaining any GODly Individual from upon Planet Earth.
Jewish and Christian religion is the only religion that GOD did Personally initiate and establish the actuality of Himself, His GODliness, and His Personal Salvation unto Eternal Living Life for the attaining of true Sons/Daughters of GOD.

Christians must not allow themselves to be deceived into becoming a tool for the Workings of Satan. For it is Satan that does seek to destroy all avenues to GOD (including Community Churches).

Christians must sight the authors of confusion for who and what they are, and their agenda to lead GOD's Planetary Children away from GOD Himself, GOD's GODliness (*Is* Jesus Christ), and all things of GOD unto destruction and demise.

Christians must keep their eyes on GOD *Is* Jesus Christ no matter what they see or hear!

2 Peter 2:4 (KJV)

"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [the Greek word here is "tartarus"], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;”

Jude 1:6 (KJV)
“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."

In the day of judgment “…the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

John 17: talks of the time of judgment, the prince of this world will be driven out. Hell was not made for man. Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels.
