I have always heard, regarding the origins of Satan, that he was once an angel called Lucifer... in fact God's favorite angel or the highest-ranking angel... and that he rebelled and took 1/3 of the angels in heaven with him, and that those angels are now demons. However, I have never found any references to this in the bible. As a relatively new Christian (2 years since I was saved) I haven't spent a lot of time on learning about Satan instead concentrating, as I believe I should, on Christ and on learning to be the best, most obediant child of God I can be. Can anyone give me biblical verse references that explain how Satan became who and what he is? If it's not in the bible, what is this story based upon?
