What percent of angels did Satan take with him when he left heaven?

Nowhere does The Bible give any details of this nor of exactly how many angels there are in total both good and bad. Jesus indicated He could summon 12 legions of angels (a Roman legion being around 6,000 men) a total of 72,000 in all. But there is no indication that this is all there are. Nor do any references to angles elsewhere including numbers in the book of Revelation indicate that a 'census' count is provided since numbers are not the issue.
In essence the question is unanswerable, and any answer would be a guess only, although it seems that a significant number rebelled.
Another answer:Revelation 12:3, 4 - And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.The language is highly figurative, of course, and it's true that "numbers are not the issue," but many interpreters and informal Bible students alike take Satan to be the "fiery red dragon" of this passage, and his angels the "stars of heaven" that were thrown down to earth. IF SO, Satan appropriated a third of the angels to his service.

Why are bad angels are in heaven?
There are no bad angels in heaven. The bad ones left with Satan after the great war in heaven.
Why are angels left on graves?
=Angels are left on graves to watch over the person who passed away and to guide them to Heaven.=
Where does it say that Satan took a third of Heaven with him to earth?
The Apocalyptic Book of Jubilees specified that nine tenths of the angels fell and were thrown out of heaven, while one tenth remained sinless and loyal to God. Apparently, medieval writers reversed these proportions, which must have seemed too embarrassingly disproportionate.Answer:The symbolism of the parable that is the book of Revelation indicates that Satan [the Dragon - Rev.12:9] swept one-third of God's created angels into his "government coup attempt" on God's throne in heaven in the beginning."...his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven..." (Rev.12:4).Revelation 1:20 reveals the symbol for "angels" is "stars.""...The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches..."It was this "one-third of God's angels" along with Satan who were cast out of heaven onto the earth where they have been restrained and not permitted to leave, pending Judgment Day, according to Peter and Jude [Rev.12:8-9; II Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6][Rev.] - "...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."[II Peter] - "...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [tartarus: a spiritual condition of restraint], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment."[Jude] - "...And 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."Satan didn't take one-third of heaven to earth... he took one-third of God's angels into heaven to try to "take the universe" away from God."...thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God... I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High..." (Isa.14:13-14)."And there was war in heaven..." (Rev.12:7).This attempt was thwarted, and Satan didn't take his angels to earth with him... they were all forcibly detained here against their will until Judgment Day."...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)
Where in the bible does it mention Satan getting kicked out of heaven?
The evidence is that before Lucifer perverted himself and the angels in his charge... he gave a lot of premeditative thought, resentment, harbored hatred and deliberate, decisive planning before he launched his attack on God's throne in heaven "from the earth.""For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I will exalt my throne above the stars (symbol for angels - see Rev.1: 20) of God... I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS..." (Isa.14:13-14).It is evident that God gave Lucifer the earth as his throne in the beginning. Clouds are a phenomenon within the earth's atmosphere. So, Lucifer was on the earth when he thought his thoughts and made his plans. He then launched his attack on God's throne in heaven from the earth.At least, that's how Isaiah was inspired to word it.Satan and his angels were then "kicked out of heaven," after Michael and his angels subdued them:"...there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon (Satan); and the Dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was there any place found any more in heaven... he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev.12:7-9)God gave Lucifer the earth for his throne... and it was that earthly branch of God's Government that was perverted and disgraced. It was back down to the earth where they were cast... and restrained... pending Judgment Day."...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartarus - imprisonment) , and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment..." (II Peter 2:4)."...the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation (the earth), He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment of the Great Day." (Jude 1:6)In what men call the "Lord's Prayer"... they generally overlook the words: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ON EARTH, as it is in heaven."Heaven is fine. It's the earth where God's justice will be administered and Satan's perversion rectified... when Jesus, who defeated the Dragon and qualified to be King, returns to the earth with His Kingdom to unseat Satan and demolish his corrupted authority on the earth.Satan and his angels were "kicked out of heaven"... but it was from the earth that they launched their attack."...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." (Luke 10:18)
Who is hell intended for?
God created hell for Satan (Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire (Hell), prepared for the devil and his angels). Those who do not follow Jesus will end up in hell since they chose to follow Satan instead of Jesus - the only way to heaven.
What kind of outer shell is each atom in a covalent bond left with?
Satan, it is left with Satan.
Who allows Satan the freedom to pursue his evil intentions?
From another post: "According to Milton in the lines between 210-220 the all ruling heaven left him at large to his own dark designs."
Will humans go extinct in 3000?
Doubtful. If anything, and it probably won't be in 3000, Jesus, like the real Jesus, will come back, take the Christians to heaven, destroy satan and those left on earth, and then Christians go to heaven to stay, non-Christians go to hell to stay.
Who is hell designed for?
Originally, hell was for Satan and his fallen angels. All that changed when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were banished from the Eden. Man's fall from grace left him in an impossible situation. Christ died so humans still have the hope of heaven. But God has to separate His faithful saints from the wicked, like taking rotten apples from a barrel of good fruit. The rotton fruit, if left, would spread the rot to the perfect ones. So those deserving paradise will live in mansions while unrepentant sinners will spend eterinty with the 'god of their own choice, Satan'. A permanent separation from all that is good.
Why did God made Humans?
It is well known that there were problems in heaven some time back and heaven lost Satan and his followers. This left some vacancies. It is also well known that Satan had a very important position in heaven, something of the order of the right hand man to God. Now these cast outs were instated in their positions by creation - assumed - . Most of us believe that Jesus came to earth to die for our sins and provide for us a way to obtain a place in heaven. This is probably not untrue, but if you examine the process he went threw it is very much similar to our scenario. It is proposed that Jesus did this to pledge/prove his obedience and love for God to get the position Satan previously occupied in heaven. This implies that we are in the same position were God will not accept us into heaven (by creation as the original cast outs) but first we will have to learn who He is, prove our love and obedience to him before we can become part of his kingdom and fill the vacancies. We are therefore here on earth as an invitation to join his kingdom. The Bible specifies that when we join heaven, we will be ranked even higher than the existing angels. If we do not accept this invitation, investigation and proposed research suggests that we will simply be killed off - seize to exist. The choice to make is therefore is not very difficult.
