To hear some of the Fudamentalist Biblical scholars teach it, they allege Satan fell in Genesis, chapter one somewhere between verses one and two, but I know of no scripture which alludes to this subjective input. Jesus, in the Gospel of Luke 10:18 says, "And I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven." Jesus gives no time frame as to the Fall. Of course we know in modern times that lightning does not fall. The Fall of Satan is likely a metaphor toward those who refuse to be subservient to the Church and its teachings.

Why did satin get sent to hell?
Satan didn't exactly get sent to hell, he chose to be alienated from God, of his own free will, and "fell from heaven" Luke 10:18 [Jesus said] And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." He went to hell because he chose not to serve God.
Why did the devil aspire to have a throne in Heaven?
Christian tradition says that Satan was expelled, along with many of the angels, from heaven because he saw himself as equal to God. This belief implies that the angels did not realise that God was greater than they. When considered rationally, this is certainly inconsistent with broader Christian belief.Not only did Satan not aspire to have a throne in heaven, but Satan and heaven do not really exist.

(Rev.12:9)Jesus Christ [the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - John 1:3 & 10] says: "...I beheld Satan as lightning FALL FROM HEAVEN." (Luke 10:18)Jesus was there. He saw it... and is an eye-witness to it.

Does the Bible speak of angels falling from heaven with Satan or Lucifer?
No. The Bible never mentions a fall from heaven by Lucifer. However, Isaiah chapter 14, written during the Babylonian Exile, talks of the pomp and splendour of the king of Babylon, who 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 (Lucifer, from Latin) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. He has become weak and like one of us; he will go to hell. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one and that this describes the fall of Lucifer/Satan. The Jewish position is that Satan is the heavenly and loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful.AnswerTo add to the above and to clarify matters somewhat, as the above simply points out the difference between Satan and Lucifer, it is true that Christians relate Lucifer to the devil. This is a matter of semantics though. To answer the question from the 'Satan' point of view, in the bible the fall of Satan is mentioned in Revelation Chapter 12: 7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:"Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,and the authority of his Christ.For the accuser of our brothers,who accuses them before our God day and night,has been hurled down.11They overcame himby the blood of the Lamband by the word of their testimony;they did not love their lives so muchas to shrink from death.12Therefore rejoice, you heavensand you who dwell in them!But woe to the earth and the sea,because the devil has gone down to you!He is filled with fury,because he knows that his time is short."Critics point out that Revelation, being written much later than the gospels, cannot be relied upon for orthodox teaching. However, the fall of Satan is also mentioned in the Gospels - the Gospel of Luke (Ch10) - written before Revelation, where it is clear that the fall of Satan was already accepted doctrine by the Jews as they understood Jesus talking about that very issue:16"He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."18He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
Why Was Lucifer thrown from heaven?
It is mentioned a few times.Revelation 12:7-9 says:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.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. Isaiah 14:12 says: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! 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:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.Luke 10:18 says:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
