Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Satan set up a political system, seven heads and ten horns.
Satan promised protection, the bramble bush.
Satan's close folowers were a big part.
Notice his tail, that is close followers, drew.
This word "drew" is like pulling in a fishing net.
So Satin's tail, close followers, had them trapped in somekind of net.
What this net was that trapped them is not written but it was some kind of deception.

The fallen one, Satan, was beautiful and full of pride. He wanted to be God, apparently 1/3 of the angels, not stars, believed in him and thus they all got booted out of Heaven. No, they are not more righteous than believers, because our righteous is from Jesus, who is perfect. Just saying, I believe in Jesus doesn't make a Christian, lip service does not impression God. It has to be a complete change of heart, and desire to do the will of God. To love God with all your heart. To have a personal relationship with Him that is more important than any other relationship that you have in your life. God looks at the heart of man. Man only knows what is on the lips of other men. You are not to judge others, because how you judge is how God will judge you. Be merciful, if you want mercy from God. God Bless you, and may you find the Lord of Lords in this New Year.

It was sex. In the account of Noah, some angels looked down and noticed the beautiful woman on the earth. These angels forsook their proper dwelling place in heaven and came to earth materialising bodies and married the beautiful women and had hybrid offspring who were called Nephilim these were violent giants who terrorised the earth.
The deluge brought on by God wiped out the nephilim and the fallen angels dematerialised their bodies went back to the spirit realm but because of their disobedience to God they became party with Satan and called demons and are forever cut off from God and await with Satan their judgement.

That's just it.The Angels were not saved by the blood of Jesus.We are way more righteous than any of the Angels because of the blood of Jesus.One day those that were redeemed by His blood will judge the Angels. Do you not know that one day the saints will judge the whole world ? "Know ye not that we shall judge angels ?..." 1 Corinthians 6:2-3. Your limited ability to understand the word of God by not using the whole Bible deceives you my Friend.Many people today pick and choose the scriptures that please them.Please read your Bible,it will help you to finally understand God,and will change your life and bring you peace.You need not be a fallen angel.

It's not easy to have the faith that will lead you to salvation. It is also hard to fallow the hard sayings and teachings of Jesus as we turn away from a material world to find our spiritual one. But great are the rewards for those who do.

What ever we do in our life if our hearts aren't behind it, we are just going through the motions... the same thing with faith if you just say it what good is that. We as fallible human being look on the outward appearance, God looks at our heart.. he knows if we mean it or not.. then our actions confirm it or we're just hypocrites

YEah, cause if I were god, I'd make it real easy to get into hell and very difficult to avoid it.
You guys make god into some twisted 12-year-old with an ant farm who can't wait to start burning the little guys. And then you're puzzled that we don't jump in the ant farm with you when you describe how BADASSE His magnifying glass is - and how very difficult it is to avoid his torture.

I don't think it was that hard at all to get the angels to fall. Why should it be? They weren't "way more righteous" BUT they had witnessed, "way more righteous things, such as the creation of all of creation!
I am so so glad you pointed this out though, so few people realize it! It is true, that by dragging down 1/3 of the Heavenly Heirarchy Satan performed a coup without equal. The WAY Satan got away without being destroyed by God was tricky. Instead of Challenge God in Combat, which he would have lost, he challenged God's RIGHT TO RULE.
This automatically set a few things in motion: the divine or heavenly creatures stopped to see what God Jehovah would do with this challenge. If God destroyed Satan outright, it would mean that God would perhaps be not the "best" suited for the job. If he accepted the challenge and allowed Satan a time to rule and see then who was the best, it would prove, ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME who was the best. And that is what happened. So, for the last 6,000 years, as the Bible says, we have been living "under the authority of the wicked one."
Satan, Ruler of the Earth
When Satan approached Eve (through the speech of the serpent) he actually challenged the rightfulness and righteousness of God's sovereignty. He intimated that God was unrightfully withholding something from the woman, also declaring that God was a liar in saying that she would die if eating of the forbidden fruit. Additionally, Satan made her believe she would be free and independent of God, becoming LIKE God. Satan's logic evidently was that, if Eve would achieve such independence, he would appear to be a benefactor to man, deserving mankind's gratefulness. By this means this wicked spirit creatures raised himself higher than God in Eve's eyes, and Satan became her god, even though Eve, at the time, apparently did not know the identity of the one misleading her. By his action he brought man and woman under his leadership and control, standing up in opposition to Jehovah God, as a rival god. (Gen. 3:1-7)
The Bible, in lifting the veil to give a glimpse into heavenly affairs, reveals Satan later as appearing before God in heaven, as a rival god, challenging God to His face, saying that he could turn God's servant Job (and, by implication, any servant of God) away from Him. He charged God, in effect, with unrighteously giving Job everything, along with full protection, so that he, Satan, could not test Job and show what was really in his heart, which Satan intimated, was bad. He inferred that Job served God primarily for selfish considerations. Satan made the point of his argument clear when he said: "Skin in behalf of skin, and everything that a man has he will give in behalf of his soul. For a change, thrust out your hand, please, and touch as far as his bone and his flesh and see whether he will not curse you to your very face." (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-7)
It is important to note, however, that Satan recognized his impotence in the face of God's express command, for he did not challenge God's power and authority when God restricted him from taking Job's life. (Job2:6)
The apostle Paul associates Satan with "the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places," and speaks of them as "the world rulers of this darkness." (Eph. 6:11, 12) As a governing force in the invisible realm immediately about the earth, he is "the ruler of the authority of the air." (Eph. 2:2) In Revelation he is shown to be the one "misleading the entire inhabited earth." (Rev. 12:9) The apostle John said that "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." (1 John 5:19) He is therefore "the ruler of this world." (John 12:31) That is why James wrote that "the friendship with the world is enmity with God." (James 4:4)
PS This is why when Christ Jesus taught his apostles to pray, he said, "Let your will be DONE, ON EARTH, as it is in heaven." And why in the Old Testament it gives a promise in the future of one day where "a Lion will lie down with a Lamb, and a Child will lead them." However, this will not happen until Satan is done away with and Christ and His fathers Kingdom returns!
The Earth to be here Forever
The first chapter of Genesis 1:28: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
Also, the Bible says the Earth is to be "filled" with Perfect, Peaceful men, (Ps. 72:7) "In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth."
Matthew 6:10 "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
Also, the Bible says the Earth will never be destroyed or depopulated, (Ecclesiatstes 1:4) "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever."

Any proof? scriptures? Line of reasoning? or is it just rambling because you haven't read the Bible? It's fine to make a statement but how about backing it up?
