1 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | Tim3:16 | 168653 | ||
Thanks BradK, Your answer was well done and answered me well. My girlfriend and I were having a studious discussion about the whereabouts of our adversary. She said that many preachers have told her that satan was indeed expelled from heaven already. I remarked that it will be one angry beast on his way to earth, and this is likely the point in time when the rapture is to take place. Would you be in agreement with me on this? Thanks for your response, may God Bless you and yours. Tim |

2 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | BradK | 168654 | ||
Hi Tim, I would agree with this in mind: satan fell from heaven because of pride and a desire to be like God (Is. 14:12ff). He fell in the sense as one of God's perfect created beings. He is now a fallen angel- the chief one. First of all, Satan is a created being (Ezekiel 28:15), and he is certainly not God, though he would like to be (Isaiah 14:13-14). And, of course, this is what he promised Eve (Genesis 3:5). In Job 1:7 Satan said that he had been “roaming about on the earth,” which surely doesn’t sound like omnipresence. Also, in Job 1:6 Satan came before God. In Revelation 12:9 Satan is cast down to earth, out of heaven. Again, this would be impossible if Satan were omnipresent. Satan has a network of demons, and these (like angels) seem to have a certain restricted territory in which to function (Daniel 10:20; 12:1). I take it that since Satan has demons strategically placed around the world, he is kept informed as to what is happening in the world, but this is not omniscience, nor omnipresence. I hope this helps, BradK |

Thanks again, BradK, Yes. very helpful insight on your part. Your profile was interestingly similar to my history. I left the Catholic Church, stayed away from religion for years, then found a church that taught Relation, not Religion. This was more palatable than man-made doctrines. Now I attend a local Calvary Chapel, which I hear are very big on the West Coast. God Bless you Brother, and thanx again! Tim |
