Satans Rebellion

Satan's rebellion refers to the biblical and theological narrative in which Satan, often identified as a fallen angel, rebels against God. This concept is primarily derived from interpretations of the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12-15) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 28:12-17) in the Hebrew Bible, where the downfall of proud kings of Babylon and Tyre is metaphorically described, and later Christian tradition associated these passages with Satan. In Christian theology, Satan's rebellion is seen as the origin of evil in the world, where Lucifer, a high-ranking angel, becomes prideful and seeks to overthrow God, resulting in his expulsion from Heaven. The term "Satan" translates to "adversary" in Hebrew (שָׂטָן), and "Lucifer" is derived from the Latin phrase Lucifer meaning "light-bringer" or "morning star," which is a translation of the Hebrew הֵילֵל (Helel) found in Isaiah 14:12. In Islamic tradition, a similar figure is known as Iblis, who refused to bow to Adam and was cast out of Heaven. The narrative of Satan's rebellion serves as a foundational myth explaining the existence of evil and the spiritual battle between good and evil.
