The evil in this world and Satan's hatred for man did not start today oo.

Long before God created man, in eternity past in heaven, God created angels. These angels have government and hierarchies, the highest being the Cherubim. Lucifer was a Cherub, he was the custodian of God's Holiness. He rules over other angels to make sure they keep God's law. He walks back and forth through the fiery stones in the Garden of God.

One day pride came into him, cos he thought in his mind that if he can do something that will make God to compromise, then he will take over God's throne.

For the records, God's throne is established in Righteousness and Justice. This means that God cannot compromise either His Righteousness or Justice in any situation, else His throne won't stand. In the case of fallen man, it means that God cannot just overlook our sin just like that and make us righteous without paying the price ( i. e His Justice, cos He needs to punish sin ). While showing us love by giving us His gift of Righteousness, a price needs to be paid, so we can get His Righteousness. That was why Jesus Christ died.

So Lucifer knew all these and thought if he can make God to compromise either His Righteousness or Justice, then God's throne will be his ( Lucifer's). He convinced one-third of the angels but thank God that two-third are still with us.

Eventually, Lucifer and his angels were cast out of heaven and they landed on earth. Then after a long period of time, God created man in the newly replenished earth. Satan saw the highest form of love God has for man and he became jealous. He also saw his opportunity of making God to compromise the foundation of His throne, so he can take over God's throne once again ( what foolishness!!) He deceived man, man fell and sin & evil came into the world. Satan became happy and now relaxed to see how God is going to save man ( by giving us His Righteousness) without compromising His justice. But God disgraced him on the Cross of Calvary where Jesus Christ paid the full penalty for our sins ( past, present and future) and redeemed us with His precious blood. Here, God's Righteousness and Justice have been perfectly satisfied on the body of Jesus!! Hallelujah!!

Since then, Satan's anger has been transferred to Believers in Christ and man has been caught up in a war that started in eternity past. Satan is powerless to Christians who know who they are in Christ but Christians who are ignorant or entertain fear, thinking the devil is still powerful, he manipulates their life.

Satan still thinks he will take over God's throne. He knew his time is very short and he knew he has been condemned to the Lake of Fire ( and he lives in terror of the place). He will still fight God at the Battle of Armageddon at mount of olive in Israel at the second coming of Christ and also at the end of the Millennium but he will be shamelessly defeated!! Jesus Christ is Lord...
