Satan, who is the author of all sin, sickness and death, was once a beautiful angel of God, but fell from his original position when he attempted to overthrow God so that he himself would be glorified as God. These records are found in the Old Testament in the prophetic books of both Isaiah 14:12-17 and Ezekiel 28: 12-19. Satan’s original name before his rebellion against God was Lucifer. However, below is a brief summary of an account of Satan’s rebellion towards God found in Isaiah chapter 14, he said, 1. I will ascend unto Heaven. 2. I will exalt my throne above the angels of God. 3. I will sit also upon the mountain of the congregation. 4. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. 5. I will be like the Most High. Instead, Satan was overthrown by God, however, he took one-third of the angels with him and he won power over the souls of humanity. Defeated in his quest to overthrow God, he decided he would attack God by overthrowing humanity, in which he did by causing Adam and Eve to also rebel against God. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world from the powers of darkness and the curse that fell upon mankind as a result of their sin, and will save anyone who calls upon the name of Jesus!
