Okay, let's get into it. So I was cleaning out my grandma's attic last weekend – dusty boxes everywhere, right? Found this old Bible with handwritten notes in the margins. One note just screamed at me: "SATAN FELL – WHY?" Got me thinking… I mean, you hear about it in sermons and memes, but why actually? Grabbed my laptop right there in the dust.
Digging Into the Old Stuff
Started hunting through random Bible verses people argue about. Isaiah 14:12-15 hit me first. Dude's talking about some "morning star" full of himself wanting to sit on God's throne like "lol try me". Cross-checked with Ezekiel 28:12-17 – talks about a super-beautiful angel gone rotten, getting kicked out for playing God. Realized both passages sound like an origin story.
Pride, Drama & Rebellion
Connected the dots:
- Satan wasn't some mustache-twirling villain from day one. Bro was top-tier angel (Ezekiel calls him perfection)
- Got obsessed with his own glory like TikTok influencer logic – wanted God's throne views
- Whispered lies to other angels. Imagine angel group chat chaos: "God's holding us back, rebel!"
- Full-blown heaven coup attempt – failed spectacularly
Even Revelation 12:7-9 spells it out: war in heaven, Michael & crew beat his team, kicked out permanently. Cosmic eviction notice.
Why This Actually Matters Today
Here’s the gut punch: Satan's whole problem was thinking "I deserve better than my place." Sound familiar? Scroll social media – influencers flexing, politicians yelling "I should be in charge!", that coworker sabotaging others for promotion. Same toxic pride virus. Watching this unfold in real-time while researching? Chills.
Finished reading all this dust-covered theology just as my uncle barged in arguing about why the lawnmower broke. Man blamed everyone but himself – same attitude that got Satan turfed from paradise. Irony so thick you could chew it. Now when I see entitlement meltdowns in traffic or Twitter rants? Just whisper: "Dude, chill before you pull a Satan." Pride wrecks everything – angels, humans, lawnmower repairs. End of story.
