God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Is it more wrong to allow what God prohibits, or to prohibit what God allows? This is actually a trick question because both alternatives are equally wrong. Either alternative would put me in the position of the Lawgiver. God allows only Himself the prerogative to determine holy standards.
Sometime after the creation of the angels, Satan chose to rebel. We get a hint from other Bible passages in the Old Testament (e.g. Eze. 28:11-19; Isa. 14:12-15) that Satan’s pride drove him to try to exceed the greatness of God. When he and a third of the angels attempted to overthrow the Almighty, all of them were thrown out of heaven. Lucifer, one of the greatest and most beautiful of all the angels would be now known as the devil and the rest of the angels that rebelled would be known as demons. Their ambition, since they can no longer war directly with God, is an all-out attack on God’s people through their crafty, calculated and diabolical schemes. The warnings are all over the Bible. “Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). Though powerful and ruthless, we must remember that Satan is under God’s sovereign authority and will one day be cast in the “lake of fire” (Revelation 20:10). So through it all, the deceiver was even able to deceive himself!
