Question:
I read in one of your answers that Satan never lived in heaven. How does this compare with Isaiah 14:12, where is says that, “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!”?
Answer:
The context tells of the future when Satan is cast into Hell and Satan is mocked and is asked, “How are thou fallen from heaven.” The anwser is that Satan fell as he was judged as he invaded heaven as described in verses 13 and 14. He was on the earth planning his invasion. As Satan carried out his plans he was cast back down on the earth.
