Where is this story in the Bible?

Question

I have been skimming through the bible(mostly Revalation) and I have not found the story of satan's rebellion against God. This is one of the fundamental stories of christianity that justifies the religion. So what book and chapter is the Rebellion told or mentioned.
Also, if anyone knows, where there is evidence for purgatory in the bible.
Danke

Answer 1

Yes Isaiah and Ezekiel have smatterings and a few verses in Revelation such as:

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.

This relates how Satan recruited one-third of all the angels to rebel with him. These then are his demons.

BTW, the beast in Rev with the harlot riding on his back:

the beast was ancient Rome and the harlot is the harlot church that became known as catholicism

the whole book of rev is about God's jedgment of the Roman Empire. That is the empire that was in power both when Jesus was born and the church was established on the earth.

The Roman Empire was controlled by Satan. It is his equivalent of God' s Israel! Satan copies everything God and Jesus do.

Answer 2

Rev. 12:4,7,9 <---- the third of the stars was his followers and then they fought, Satan vs Michael.

An English translation of the Hebrew word Shoel, hell signifies an abode of departed spirits and corresponds to the Greek Hades. In common speech it generally denotes the place of torment for the wicked, although it has been often held, both in the Jewish and the Christian churches, that Hades (meaning broadly the place of all departed spirits) consists of two parts, paradise and Gehenna, one the abode of the righteous and the other of the disobedient. “Gehenna,” or “Gehenna of fire,” is the Greek equivalent of the “valley of Hinnom,” a deep glen of Jerusalem where the idolatrous Jews offered their children to Moloch (2 Chr. 28: 3; 2 Chr. 33: 6; Jer. 7: 31; Jer. 19: 2-6). It was afterwards used as a place for burning the refuse of the city (2 Kgs. 23: 10), and in that way became symbolical of the place of torment (Matt. 5: 22, 29-30; Matt. 10: 28; Matt. 18: 9; Matt. 23: 15, 33; Mark 9: 43, 45, 47; Luke 12: 5; James 3: 6). Expressions about “hell-fire” are probably due to the impression produced on men’s minds by the sight of this ceaseless burning, and are figurative of the torment of those who willfully disobey God.
On the other hand, the devil and his angels, including the sons of perdition, are assigned to a place spoken of as a lake of fire - a figure of eternal anguish. This condition is sometimes called hell in the scriptures (2 Pet. 2: 4). This kind of hell, which is after the resurrection and judgment, is exclusively for the devil and his angels, and is not the same as that consisting only of the period between death and resurrection. The one group are redeemed from hell and inherit some degree of glory. The other receive no glory. They continue in spiritual darkness. For them the conditions of hell remain.

Answer 3

You can find the account of Satan's rebellion here.

Isaiah 14:12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:

‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
____________

Notice the five "I will" statements that form the basis of Satan's rebellion.

purgatory? the word is not in the bible. There are scriptures that talk of purification by fire but it is a long long stretch to use them to justify the doctrine of purgatory.
