Bible Note: Greetings Theo, You have asked an interesting question.. The elements in Scripture that seem to suggest that there was a mutiny in heaven and that Satan was once pure before God, being a "guardian" cherub, are found in Isaiah 14:12-17, Ezekiel 28:12-19 and Revelation 12:7-11,3-4. This is the Scriptural support behind the traditional explanation of the origin of Satan and his demons. According to these passages of Scripture, the motivation behind Satan's fall was covetousness of the Power of the Throne. Blessings to you, Nolan |
