(15) You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. 1

2 II. Satan's Rebellion and Removal from His Position Iniquity was found in Him Five I Statements 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. Lead a rebellion in Heaven Merchandised His goods (rebellion and discontentment) Because of His beauty and His brightness he lead this rebellion He spoiled His wisdom Profaned the Holy Place There was war in Heaven Cast down to the ground He lost His place in Heaven Isaiah 14:12-17 MKJV How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! (13) For you have said in your heart, I will go up to the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. (14) I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High. (15) Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the Pit. (16) Those who see you shall stare and closely watch you, saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble; who shook kingdoms; (17) who made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; who did not open the house for his prisoners? Ezekiel 28:16-18 MKJV (16) By the multitude of your goods they have filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned. So I cast you profaned from the height of God, and I destroy you, O covering cherub, from among the stones of fire. (17) Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have spoiled your wisdom because of your brightness. I will cast you to the ground; I will put you before kings, that they may behold you. (18) By the host of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade, you have profaned your holy places; so I brought a fire from your midst; it shall devour you, and I will give you for ashes on the earth, before the eyes of all who see you. Verse 16 goods, trade, trading, traffic, merchandise (peddling discontentment and rebellion) leading a rebellion, turning the angels against God, traitor. Rev 12:3-4a KJV And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. (4a) And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: Rev 12:7-9 KJV 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 2

3 Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. III. Satan Locked Away At the End of This Age He is cast into Hell at the end of this age The people in Hell will be amazed that Satan is as weak as they are and is receiving the same judgment that they received. His heavenly music had become nothing but noise He will be covered in hell with maggots He will be bound in hell for 1000 years Isaiah 14:9-11 MKJV Hell from below is moved for you, to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, all the he-goats of the earth. It has raised from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (10) All of them shall speak and say to you, Are you also as weak as we? Are you like us? (11) Your pride is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your harps. The maggot is spread under you, and the worms cover you. Revelation 20:1-3 MKJV And I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. (3) And he cast him into the abyss and shut him up and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed a little time. IV. Satan's Final Rebellion and End Satan will be loosed at the end of the 1000 years He will lead one final rebellion He will deceive many once again (as many as the sand of the sea) They will surround the saints and the Holy City Fire will come out of heaven and devour them all He will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone He will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelation 20:7-10 MKJV (7) And when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be loosed out of his prison. (8) And he will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of them is as the sand of the sea. (9) And they went up over the breadth of the earth and circled around the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of Heaven and devoured them. (10) And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever. V.
