When did satan's rebellion take place?

Question

Jean, you have a great answer but I think it is to the wrong question. My question was "When" , ,, not " Why"

Drakke's answer is nothing more than Atheistic proselytizing.

Hey there M !! If you would kindly tell me where you got that idea, I would greatly appreciate it. thanks.

bratnumb, I guess I can't really argue about that. but I guess I am asking in the context of an actual timeslot or period. Great answer though.

Jesus Freak is right on the ball but I was hoping for a more specific answer.

Sonno, I will not get into the wording of self proclaimed, it is too ambiguious. But there is 3 time dispensations explained in the bible to the more astute studier. And the refference you make to the war in heaven in the book of revelation was a prophesy at that time and it speaks of the war that is going on in heaven now. The passage that refers to it is this. " Since John the baptist the kingdom of heaven suffers violence from those who would take it by force ".

realchurch, The bible starts with " In the begining God created the heavens and the earth. Period. In no way does that connect to the first day in Genesis. There is nothing that says that Genesis 1:1 is immediatly or shortly thereafter followed by Genesis 1:2

David G has nailed it. His link says it all. Good stuff.

Answer 1

Satan’s rebellion happened during the first earth age (dispensation of time). We’re in the second earth age now, and there will be a third one following this one. Satan’s rebellion is why you’re here in a flesh body. God wants to know who you’re going to follow, Him or satan.

For those who wish a deeper study of this subject, I invite you to visit the source below. This will take the wrapping off the mystery of why you’re here in a flesh body.

Edit:

Jesus freak, right on the money answer. You understand God's Word on a deeper level than most.

Answer 2

That's an impossible question to answer, as there was not human measurement of time at that point, according to the Bible. In Revelations 12 it says that there was a "war in heaven" involving Michael, the archangel (which is commonly accepted as the spirit form of Adam, the first man). This only states the obvious, that it supposedly happened before the creation of man. Other than that, we have no self-proclaimed record or any way to contemplate it further.

Answer 3

All Creation including Satan was on the first Day.

Sometime after Creation week and before Eve sinned Lucifer was cast out of heaven.

Any attempt to fix a timetable is pure speculation because God did not reveal this fact.


Gen 2:4
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
(KJV)

Ezek 28:13-17
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
(KJV)

Answer 4

Your name says it all. Fundy xianity lends new meaning to the words "manipulative horsesh*t" You've been conned, dude, by a "religion" created by psychopaths to keep you fearful, guilt ridden and under their control. Get deprogrammed and have a healthy life. :))

Btw, i'm definitely NOT an atheist, just not into "popular" BS. If you'd like to know what Xianity is really all about, read *Gnosis of the Cosmic Christ*, not popular with bush supporters, NASCAR trolls, or the KKK :))

Answer 5

Most do not know this answer!!! Great question.
Satan's fall happened because of his tempting Adam and Eve!


Ezekiel 28:
" 'You were the model of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
ruby, topaz and emerald,
chrysolite, onyx and jasper,
sapphire, [b] turquoise and beryl. [c]
Your settings and mountings [d] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.

14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.

15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.

16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, O guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.

18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.

19 All the nations who knew you
are appalled at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.' "
