Rebellion of Satan Bible Study. (The cause of all the upheaval)Pages 1-5 In this Bible study we are going to take a look at what Satan was up to in the first earth age and what caused God to end that age. The things we are going to be talking about in this study happened a very long time ago. We were all happy in heaven which was on earth at that time. We did not have flesh bodies but only spiritual ones. Satan who was called Lucifer back then was a good guy and had great responsibilities given to him by God. But all that changed. Isaiah 14:12-17 Isaiah 14:12: 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!
The name 'Lucifer' is Strong's 1966 and means heylel (hay-lale'); from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star. Strong's number 1984 is a primitive root; to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of colour); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify. (Blunt, Stupefy)The fall from heaven is talking about what happened in the first earth age. Lucifer was Satan's name but it was changed by God. Lucifer is the fake morning star; Jesus Christ is the true morning Star. Rev 22:16 Revelation 22:16: I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star. Isaiah 14: 13: 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: Lucifer is really getting full of pride here. He wants to sit in the Divine assembly of judgment which in Psalms 82:1 we read that is God's job.
Psalms 82:1: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; He judgeth among the gods. He also wants to sit "in the sides of the north." The problem is, that is where God's throne is. Psalms 75:6: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Isa 14:14 ‘’ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the MOST HIGH.’’
The words "MOST HIGH" is Strong's 5945 and means 'elyown (el-yone'); from 5927; an elevation, i.e. (adj.) lofty (compar.); as title, the Supreme.
Supreme is one of the Divine names of God and is God as possessor of heaven and earth. Lucifer was so full of pride that he wanted to be God.
Isa 14:15 ‘’ Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.’’
God does not like people that are full of pride and will bring them down to size. Without repentance, as in the case of Lucifer, that means death of the soul.
Isa 14:16 ‘’ 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; |
