Prince of the Powers of the Air

God did not create Satan. God created Lucifer, the highest angel in God’s angelic kingdom. Lucifer was the anointed cherub (Ezekiel 28:14; Isaiah 14:12,13). Lucifer then of his own free will wanted to be God and receive worship as God. Through his pride and vanity, he fell and became Satan. This event caused a catastropic event to the Original earth to throw it into a state of chaos.

Other titles for fallen Lucifer, now Satan are:

• Satan, meaning - the Adversary

• Apollyon - the destroyer
• Beelzebub - the prince of demons
• Belial - the low, abject one
• The Wicked One

There are a number of Fallen Angels that rebelled with him: Rev. 12:4,9. These angels along with Satan will be imprisoned in the lake of fire for eternal torment. Lucifer’s Reign - The anointed cherub that covereth. God’s most high priest in the mountain of God. Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:13-17. Lucifer was the highest ranking angel that God created.
