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 can you find in bible how many angels did Satan take with him?
In the bible it states that Satan took one third of all angels with him. 2nd Corinthians 4:4
Who took Satan's job in heaven?
Though it is evident that Satan i.e Son of the Morning had some responsibility before he fell, the scriptures give no indication as to what they were. It neither gives any indication that someone replaced him. Knowing that the organization in heaven is perfect I assume that his position was filled.
What does 6 represent in the Bible?
It took god six days to make this heaven and earth.
Did Satan take lordship over the earth after Adam fell?
A:For almost two thousand years, Christians have believed that Satan is capable of defying the will of God. Paradoxically they believe, at the same time, that God is omnipotent and therefore surely capable of negating Satan's every effort. Some Christians believe that Satan took lordship over the earth when Satan fell, other Christians are uncertain when this happened, while others say that Satan has never had lordship over the earth although he has many powers.
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.
Is God Satan's Father?
No. God is Satan's creator, however, when Satan tried to become like God, God threw him out of heaven, Satan took a third of the angels with him too. So no, God is not Satan's father, but create.EDIT: Yes, God is Satan's father. Because Satan is an angel that turned evil and god is the father of all both good and evil.Answer:The Scriptures tell us that God created Lucifer (Satan), who was perfect in the beginning, but had a desire to usurp God. "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." Isaiah 14:12-15. God does not create evil. It is rebellion of the created being that produces evil.
When was They Took the Stars Out of Heaven created?
They Took the Stars Out of Heaven was created in 1944.
Was there any other fights that took place between heaven and hell other than the devil getting cast out of heaven by Micheal?
That is the only one recorded, though since that happening Satan has always waged war against heaven and the people of God. His final battle will be when the Lord has finished His work towards the latter part of the Millennium, when Satan will be loosed for a short while to try one last time to destroy the work of God.
Who has been in heaven and came back to earth?
The Bible says that Jesus ascended into heaven and _will_ return, not that he has returned. Others in the Bible who were taken directly into heaven: Elijah (in a chariot of fire), and apparently Enoch (God took him, seemingly without him dying first). Also, Mohammad is said to have ascended into heaven. There is a lot more to read on the topic. Of course, if you meant "heaven" in a less traditional way, then every astronaut who survived a trip into orbit and back could be said to have "ascended to heaven and then returned to earth."
Why was mr Satan famous?

What are the characteristics of Aristotle's picture of heaven?
Aristotle's model of the universe took into account the charted movements of the heavenly bodies, but was complicated by the assumption that Earth lay at the center of the universe.
Do extra-terrestrials exist?
Definitely. As described in the Bible at Revelation 12:7-12, a great war took place in Heaven, after which Satan the Devil and his demon angels were thrown down to the vicinity of the Earth. These ones certainly qualify as extraterrestrials and they do still exist. They're just not the entertainment industry's idea of E.T.
