Satan is a created being. He was one of the most important angels in heaven, but he sinned and was cast out of heaven. He still has limited access to heaven but spends much of his time on earth. The planet earth has an atmosphere that is breathable for human beings. We call the oxygen we breathe "air". Since Satan has his domain on earth (after getting it away from Adam) and rules from earth he is called the "prince of the power of the air".

Is every soul part of the universal spirit?

What happens to the Soul at death? Do we see the Soul leave the body? Although we don't, we know that is what causes death, that is why we cremate or bury a body. Where does the Soul go? If the Soul leaves the body, then it has to go somewhere and it doesn't travel through space to go somewhere. It just merges with the Spirit that is everywhere. The best way to understand how the Soul is a part of the Universal Spirit is to blow air into a balloon. Where do you get the air from? From the air that is everywhere. If you burst the balloon, where will the air go? Into the air that is everywhere. So does the Soul. The Soul is energy, is a power and we can feel that power not only inside us but we can feel that power all around us.


What chapter and verse in the Bible says God threw Satan out of heaven?

A:The canonical books of the Old Testament, written prior to the Maccabean period, say nothing about Satan being cast out of heaven. The Jews of the Apocalyptic period, from 200 BCE to 100 CE began to wonder why God had abandoned Israel and allowed evil to rule the world in their time. Such a degree of evil was more than God would ordain and greater than mere humans could cause. It must therefore be the work of a powerful spiritual force. This force would be the fallen angel, Satan, although Jews eventually returned to the earlier post-Exilic belief that Satan is the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of men. The Apocalyptic writers studied the Old Testament and proceeded to develop colourful accounts, as in the Book of Enoch. Enoch is taken on an inspection tour of Sheol, the shadowy underworld place of the dead, "the land of destruction, forgetfulness, and silence." During the journey he sees the sons of God in their fallen state and learns that these "angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after" the daughters of men.The Book of Jubilees specified that nine parts of the angels fell while one part remained sinless and loyal to God. Medieval writers later reversed these proportions, so that only one-tenth of the angels fell.The Book of the Secrets of Enoch (2 Enoch) added to the myth the significant new element that the angels rebelled on account of pride. The key passage is : "And one from out the order of angels, having turned away with the order that was under him, conceived of an impossible thought, to place his throne higher than the clouds above the earth, that he might become equal in rank to any power. And I threw him out from the height with his angels, and he was flying in the air continuously above the bottomless."Christians see Satan as Lucifer in Isaiah 14:4-23, but this passage refers to the king of Babylon, who laid the nations low. It talks of the king's pomp and splendour, how he had ruled the nations in anger, and his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the Morning Star and was thus derisorily called 'Lucifer' (lucem ferre, which mean 'light-bearer', a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. This text was misunderstood by early Christian scholars and even some Jewish scholars of the period, with both assuming that it referred to Satan or the devil. Modern Jewish scholars accept the literal reading of the text, which really does refer to the king, but conservative Christians continue to misinterpret it.Answer:The Bible passage in question is probably Revelation 12:9--"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."This was the New Testament's "Spiritually-inspired" [II Tim.3:16] added detail of "Lucifer's" attempt to "go to heaven" ["...I will ascend into heaven..." - Isa.14:13] to exalt his throne above that of God.The scope of this attempted rebellion of Satan against his Creator in the beginning isn't revealed in one book of the Bible; but bits and pieces have to be gleaned from different passages on the same subject "...here a little, and there a little..." - Isa.28:13] throughout [as the Holy Spirit opens a Faithful Believer's mind and heart to it].Another connected passage to Satan's being "cast out of heaven" ["here a little"] is Jesus' own confession:"...I BEHELD SATAN AS LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN." (Luke 10:18)John tells in [John 1:1-3] that Jesus was the "WORD of God" in the beginning who was the "Creator" of the angels... the earth, the universe, and was the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament. Jesus' testimony, above, to witnessing this "casting out of Satan" is further testimony to the necessity of "Faith" on the part of the Bible reader in order to "Believe" what's written therein.In two more connected passages ["and there a little"]... both Peter and Jude reveal that this "casting out of Satan and his angels [demons] from heaven to earth" was an act of "imprisonment" or "restraint" of these "angels that sinned"... which is to be enforced until their "trial" at the conclusion of God's plan, that other Bible passages call "The Last Great Day" or "Judgment Day.""...the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness UNTO THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT DAY." (Jude 1:6)"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL [tartaroo; a spiritual condition of restraint; a restriction of their power, since physical metal chains don't work on spirit], and delivered them into chains of darkness, TO BE RESERVED UNTO JUDGMENT..." (II Peter 2:4).Revelation 12, quoted above, which is one of several "inset chapters" in the storyline that brings the reader up to speed on certain event and character details; also has one other reference to "Satan's casting out":"...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. And when the Dragon saw that HE WAS CAST UNTO THE EARTH, he persecuted the Woman...".There is much more in the Bible [here a little, and there a little] that fills in the big picture of this account... but these are the main passages that refer to the "casting Satan out" part of the story.
