FIrst Footnote 1
All was well until one day....The angel said, ‘I will be like Creator and able to create, not just govern stars!!’
Creator did not approve of this, so Michael, who kept all the good angels, had to fight and overthrow this
evil angel and his minion.
War in Heaven
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon
fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to
the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”3
“"Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the
worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides
of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world
as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of
the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like
an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go
down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial,
because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off
from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. I will also make it a
possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the
LORD of hosts." 4
“So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot
unto his crown.And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
