How did lucifer fall?

Question

I was just curious what your belief is. I know there aren't many specifics about his fall in the bible as far as how it happened, so I would like to hear educated guesses or just your thoughts on the matter.

Are there angels and demons here on earth? If so, how do they affect us on a daily basis?

Is there truly a hell? I know it wasn't referenced to in the old testament (I could be wrong, but I don't remember even once) or was this a creation in the new testament? If so, could you explain why?

What are the names of the four arch angels and what roles did they play? Does one have more power than another?

Answer 1

Lucifer fell for leading a rebellion in Heaven against God. Angels and demons both walk among us! The Scripture says, ".....beware, lest ye entertain ANGELS unawares." Jesus even told Peter once, "Simon, Simon, the DEVIL desireth to have you that he may sift you as wheat." People think that the Devil is already in Hell, but not so! He stands as the principal accuser of the saints of God to the throne of God. The Devil and his minions affect us every day through the choices we make that we may not weigh in our consciousness completely enough to see the ramifications of what we ultimately decide on. Yes, there was a reference to Hell in the OT it says, "And Hell hath enlarged her mouth beyond measure". Sounds like a mighty BIG place! As for the names of the archangels, I can't remember them all, but I do remember Gabriel and Michael. As far as their power and authority is concerned, I don't recall any of them being more powerful than the other, but I could be wrong.

Answer 2

Lucifer fell because he wanted to be God.

Yes there are angels and demons here on earth. Satan tells you to do things you shouldn't do. If you are a Christian and true believer then the Holy Spirit guides you away from what satan tells you to do.

The bible says there is a lake of fire that burns for eternity.

It was not referenced in the old testament because Jesus hadn't died for our sins yet.

As far as the arch angels i will have to do some research and get back with you.

Answer 3

He was the preeminent creation and was proud of it. Because God was worshiped [he directed the worship] all the time, he became resentful and wanted some of the adoration directed towards himself. The division of worship to the created as opposed to the creator, caused the split in the heavenly realms. After Lucifer was banished from the hierarchical realm, he became satan, now totally opposed to God's purpose in creation.

Angels and demons all the time on earth.

Hell is separation from God's presence which is eternal regret and permanent unfulfillment.

Tradition not withstanding, Gabriel and Michael are the only archangels mentioned in the bible. [Michael keeps all God's people and is NOT Jesus - Gabriel is God's messenger who ushers in new ages with a message to all creation (and sometimes individuals)]

Answer 4

Lucifer is not Satan's name. The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the Babylonian dynasty. That the description “shining one” is given to a man and not to a spirit creature is further seen by the statement: “Down to Sheol you will be brought.” Sheol is the common grave of mankind—not a place occupied by Satan the Devil. Moreover, those seeing Lucifer brought into this condition ask: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth?” Clearly, “Lucifer” refers to a human, not to a spirit creature.—Isaiah 14:4, 15, 16.

Answer 5

How did Lucifer fall?

He tripped on the carpet on his way out of heaven.

OK OK All kidding aside. The concept of Lucifer, the morningstar, is that he wanted to rule alongside God in heaven but when he was rebuffed he lead an army of followers against Gabriel and Michael, both of whom commanded the Heavenly host. Upon his defeat, Lucifer was given a choice, to serve in heaven stripped of his status as the most favoured archangel of God or to be cast into the pit, within in which lay the lake of fire, also known as hell.

In Paradise Lost, Milton wrote the immortal words of Lucifer's response: " 'tis better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven."

Answer 6

In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel. It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference. The Hebrew scholar could only speculate that some early Christian scribes, writing in the Latin tongue used by the Church, had decided for themselves that they wanted the story to be about a fallen angel, a creature not even mentioned in the original Hebrew text, and to whom they gave the name "Lucifer." In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun. The name derives from the Latin term lucem ferre, bringer, or “bearer, of light." In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn."

Answer 8

Lucifer was cast down from heaven when he tried to place himself above God. The names of his angels are of little importance. Now is the time for Meggado. Be ready.

Answer 9

he must have started relying of reason instead of faith. Thus he fell back into reality, instead of living in a fantasy world. What if Peter Pan stopped fighting with Capt Hook? He would be able to live and love and grow up
