Satan was not cast to the Earth but to Hell for revolt and defiance against God.When Satan learnt that God had made Earth he was eager to see it as it was formed in the deep void.He did circle the Earth and visit it before the creation of Adam but saw Angles guarding it and hid in the dark void and then in a dark hole as a snake on Earth before entering the garden of Eden.

The Genesis must not be taken as literal but a metaphorical explanation for Creation . People in antiquity were not aware of certain scientific truth as we know today and has this day resulted in unresolved theological debates.

Why is Satan called prince of the power of the air?

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".


Why did Satan enter the serpent rather than another creature?

Satan was still noticed and recognised and revealed fully in New testament. Satan was the Old serpent meaning from the garden who is the great dragon. Rev 12:9 and 20:2 is clear there. rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that OLD SERPENT, which IS THE DEVIL, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years ..(emphasis added) rev 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. So the serpent which was an actual serpent was the Devil in the form of the serpent, which many believe that Satan entered into him like he did with Judas at the sop.


Who killed Satan?

Satan is still alive. In one version of the 2012 Prophecy God has a war with Satan and he may or may not end up killing Satan. A huge amount (I forgot the exact number, somewhere around 30%) believe Satan is alive and seriously messing with the world.


Where was God before creation of the earth?

nope! :PAnother Answer:The opening verse in Genesis 1 describes a world in darkness, under water. The original Hebrew for 'formless and empty' or without form and void is 'tohu and bohu' which literally means chaotic and in confusion. When God originally created the heavens and the earth, they were a thing of beauty.Scripture states that God 'did not create it in vain (tohu) in Isaiah 45:18. In Job 38:4-7, we read that the angels shouted for joy at the sight. Yet, the Bible states that Lucifer, one of the chief angels, rebelled against God and was cast down to the earth (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:14-17; Luke 10:18).It appears from the above that the earth 'became' (a better translation for the Hebrew verb 'haya') a wasteland due to Satan's rebellion, and God had to renew the face of the earth as it states in Psalm 104:30: "You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth."The following verses in Genesis 1 reveal God raising the continents to the surface and filling them with vegetation and living creatures through the six days of work. Thus the 'Reign of Man' began.


What does lucfier mean?

Lucifer means bright star. Lucifer was said to be the chief musician in Heaven before he was cast into Hell. Some also believe that there will be no music in Heaven because Lucifer will not be there.

Was Satan cast to earth before man?

First, we need to understand that man was not "cast" to the earth as if by some curse. The Bilble says that the earth was created FOR man, and man was created to inhabit and take care of the earth. He created the earth to be inhabited, and the earth was given to humans as our home.-(Genesis 1:28;Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:18) As far as Satan is concerned, the book of Revelation tells us in chapter 12, verse 9, that he was cast out of heaven, and confined to the vacinity of the earth. This was a curse for him for two reasons. One reason is that prior to his being cast out of heaven, he was free to roam about through the heavenly realms. We read in Job chapter 1, verse 6, that at some point during the lifetime of God's faithful servant Job, there was a gathering in heaven " when the sons of the [true] God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them." This indicates that Satan still had the priveledge of roaming thoughout the heavenly realms during Job's day, so man was on the earth before Satan was cast out. The second reason that this is a curse for Satan is found in Revelation in chapter 12 verse 12, where it says "...the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." So he is angry because he knows his time left is short, he will soon be destroyed.

No, it was the Devil and Satan - see Rev.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."


Were there angels before humans?

Yes they were created before humans. God's word tells us at Job 38:7, "When the mourning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause!" The angels shouted for joy and sang out when the foundation of the earth was laid, so they were created even before the earth. And, Satan had to have already rebelled against God along with 1/3 of the angels in Heaven and been cast to the Earth, hence, (Genesis 3:1) Satan, "the serpent" came to Eve to tempt her in the garden of Eden right after her creation from Adam (Genesis 2:21-23) the demons were already here.

Why would God make Satan?

God did not create satan. What God created was a guardian cherub, an angel. The angel was blameless in his ways, until wickedness was found in him. The angel was boastful. He desired to be like the Most High. And because of the pride of the guardian cherub, God cast him down to the earth. Hence, the angel became the devil, the father of lies, the serpent. In short, God created an angel that soon became evil and hence satan.


Is there any reference for Satan fell through 72 worlds?

In the King James version there doesn't appear to be such a reference. The only verse where - Satan - and the word - world - appear is * Rev 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.


Who are the descendants of Satan?

For there to be descendants of Satan he would first have to exist, which he doesn't. If you do believe in the Christian Satan, he still would have no descendants, because he was never an actual person on Earth. He was always an angel in the kingdom of heaven until God cast him out.
