As the report goes: Lucifer was one of the most beautiful angels in all of heaven. And he became jealous of God and wanted to become as good if not better than God and was cast out of Heaven for his sin.
So who was the reporter who got this story out first? and how did he manage to get the information?

The Bible says that when this mighty angel fell, he became the Devil. Scripture gives us some insight into what it was that caused the fall of this angel.
1. Pride
As we examine the Bible, we find that pride was a factor in Satan's fall. In a passage that may speak of the original fall of this anointed angel, we read the following.
Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you (Ezekiel 28:17).
New Testament Connection
The New Testament also connects the sin of pride with the Devil.
not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the Devil (1 Timothy 3:6).
God's View Of Pride
Pride is at the top of the list of sins that God hates.
There are six things which the LORD hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination unto Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6;16,17).
"Haughty eyes," or pride, is at the top of the list of the things the Lord hates. The Bible warns us what pride will lead to.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18).
2. Selfish Ambition
A second cause for the fall of Satan was a selfish ambition - the desire to be something that he was not. In another passage that appears to give us insight around his fall, we read the following.
How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High" (Isaiah 14:12-14).
This angel led a rebellion against God - a rebellion that will only end when he is thrown into the lake of fire.
Summary
The fall of the angel who became the Devil seems to be rooted in two basic sins - pride and selfish ambition. These sins caused his downfall, as well as the downfall of those angels who went with him. It has also been the downfall of many people since that time.

Truthfully, the devil is not a main theme of the Bible, GOd and Salvation are. In many books like ROmans he is only mentioned in like the second to last verse in passing... and in some books like Hebrews not at all.
Adam walked with god and spoke in the garden, it is possisble that before the fall he was warned or after...
Moses talked with God for 40 years as he wrote the Torah
There are allusions to the story in the prophets
Jesus made comments about it
John in Revelation spoke of a dragon thrown from heaven whose tail pulled a third of the stars from the sky

In the Book of Genesis, written by Moses, actually orally handed down by Moses to his decendents until the written word began. God inspired the writers of the books of the Bible. God spoke to some of the men personally and to many God sent His Holy Spirit unto them to guide them to write His words.

This is a very, very old story and back in those days people didn't have names like we have names these days, in fact they weren't even people, and in our languages we cannot even say what they were, or when that was, because time had not even begun then, OK?
