What did Satan do before he was cast out of heaven?

Answer 1

Before he went to hell, Satan was the brightest and most beautiful angel that God created, his name was Lucifer which means brightness - he was the star of the morning, or bright star. Before he chose himself rather than God, he was the most beautiful of all God's creatures, and enormously powerful.

Answer 2

He was Head Cantor in Heaven. '''Answer:''' According to the biblical evidence... "...thou hast said in thine heart, I will '''ASCEND INTO HEAVEN'''... I will '''ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS'''..." (Isa.14:13-14). When Satan entertained his assault on God's throne in heaven... He was standing on the earth. Clouds are a phenomenon within the earth's breatheable atmosphere. The evidence suggests that Satan [Lucifer] and the angels under his command were "headquartered" on the earth at the beginning of creation. This would make sense, that Satan's attack from earth, where his throne and power and authority were given to him by God disrupted, perverted and destroyed that branch of God's Government in the universe. That would be why it's here on earth where Jesus tells us to pray for the restoration of God's Government. "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done '''IN EARTH''', as it is in heaven." (Matt.6:10)

Answer 3

Satan was not a literal physical snake. A literalistic at all costs method of interpretation is particularly troublesome when it comes to books of The Bible in which visionary imagery is the governing genre. Symbolic imagery, often used throughout the Bible, is multifaceted and masterful. We do violence to the text when we interpret what is symbolic in a strictly literal manner. For example, when the apostle John describes Satan as a "dragon" and an "ancient serpent," we would be seriously mistaken to suppose that he intend to communicate that Satan is literally a smoke spouting snake. The symbolism of a dragon or a snake is not designed to tell us what he looks like but to teach us what Satan islike. Satan is and has always been our accuser or adversary.
