The Prehistoric Angelic Conflict
Satan's Fall
Satan was the keeper of the Throne Room, the highest ranking angel of God until he sinned with arrogant ambition and rebelled. Satan's fall is portrayed by the fall of the king of Babylon, which is described in Isaiah. Although the description is not of Satan, it corresponds precisely to Satan.
Isaiah 14:12-14
12 "How you have fallen from heaven,
You star of light (morning star), sun of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth,
You who have laid low the nations!
13 "But you said in your heart,
'I will ascend into heaven (throne room);
I will raise my throne above the stars (Elect Angels) of God,
And I will sit in the summit assembly
In the recesses of the north.
14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.'Satan fell because he sinned and rebelled against God. He portrayed himself as the Morning Star, even though the Morning Star symbolizes the Lord Jesus Christ. When Satan was sent from Heaven, he was banished to the earth. Satan's ambition was to ascend to the Throne of God in the Throne Room where he worked. He was full of arrogant ambition and wanted to raise his throne (i.e. ascend the throne) above the other angels. He wanted to preside over the summit assembly, the convocation of angels over which the Lord presides. The throne of God is in the north. Satan's ambition was to make himself like the Most High God. He appealed to the woman in the Garden with the same argument. He told her that if she ate of the forbidden fruit that she would be as smart as God.
Satan's fall is also described in Revelation. When Satan rebelled he carried a third of the angels with him. 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. (Revelation 12:9, NAS)The fall of Satan is represented as Capricorn, the Goat, on the zodiac.
The Prehistoric Angelic Conflict
When Satan rebelled, there was war in Heaven between the Elect Angels of God and Satan and the fallen angels.
Revelation 12:7-8
7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.Satan and his angels were thrown out of Heaven down to the earth. They had their wings clipped.
The war in Heaven was the Prehistoric Angelic Conflict, which is depicted in the signs of the zodiac as Sagittarius, the Archer, fighting Scorpio, the Scorpion. Scorpio represents the devil while Sagittarius represents the Elect Angels of God. Satan's Trial
Satan and the fallen angels were given an opportunity similar to the opportunity for Salvation, which they rejected. They already had Eternal Life. The only issue was where they would spend eternity, in Heaven or in the Lake of Fire. After the angels were given an opportunity to choose, Satan convinced a third of them to reject God's offer. The question has been asked, "Did they know they were going to the Lake of Fire if they rejected the offer?" The answer is obviously yes. They were no different than people today who know they are going to hell and yet continue to refuse the free gift of Salvation.
After God's offer was rejected, a trial was held for Satan and the fallen angels. They were prosecuted and sentenced to the Lake of Fire (Matthew 25:41). The trial is symbolized by the sign of Libra, the Scales, on the zodiac. After the sentence was passed, Satan appealed the decision, and God accepted the appeal. The human race was created to provide witnesses for the appeal trial. http://www.biblenews1.com/pictures/linecolo.gif
