Lucifer was cast out of the 3rd Heaven and became Satan
In my 20 years of exposing false teachers, I have often encountered Atheists quoting scripture and wanting to teach us doctrine. It is hillarious and yet alarming that people actually listen to them.
Just yesterday I encountered a reported atheist panel member on Twitter discounting Satan by cherry picking Ezekiel 28 claiming that Lucifer cast out of heaven is not the devil but the King of Tyrus. Many non bible reading people accepted that.
Of course we know Satan's greatest strategy is to get people to believe he does not exist and is only a fairy tale, a myth in the bible.
I sent one of the other panelist the following and need to blog this for others questioning:
In the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus Christ declareth unto His disciples, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Luke 10:18, KJV). This pronouncement, spoken after the seventy returned with joy, revealeth the Saviour’s divine vision of Satan’s expulsion from the celestial realm, a swift and mighty casting down by the judgment of God, confirming the adversary’s defeat and his banishment from the presence of the Almighty.
Ezekiel’s Scriptures on Lucifer’s Removal
Ezekiel, prophet and scribe, speaketh of Lucifer, typified as the King of Tyrus, in Ezekiel 28:12-17 (KJV): “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God… Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee… Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.” Herein, Lucifer, once exalted, is cast out from the holy mountain for his iniquity, his splendor marred by rebellion.Other Scriptures on Pride as the Cause of Lucifer’s Fall
The prophet Isaiah further illuminateth Lucifer’s pride in Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV): “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.” Lucifer’s heart, lifted up in pride, sought to usurp God’s throne, provoking divine wrath and his descent into the abyss.Moreover, Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) affirmeth the principle: “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” This truth undergirdeth Lucifer’s rebellion, as his vainglory begat his ruin.Conclusion
Through Christ’s testimony in Luke, Ezekiel’s lamentation, and Isaiah’s prophecy, the Scriptures declare Lucifer’s fall from Heaven, his pride as the root of transgression, and his banishment by the righteous judgment of God. Let all take heed, for pride bringeth low even the mightiest of angels.This response adheres to the KJV style, citing relevant scriptures and maintaining a concise yet comprehensive explanation.
