If you were to ask: “Why was Lucifer and his followers kicked out of heaven?” This might be my reply.
When man was first created and placed on earth in the Garden of Eden, they became so evil that God decided to destroy them by flood and start over with Noah and his family. After time, their descendants gathered in today’s Iraq. There they all spoke the same language and decided to build a tower, under the direction of Nimrod, that would reach heaven. Satan was using Nimrod to prove that one person could rule everyone and bring peace to all and he (Lucifer) should have been God’s chosen one but wasn’t, to rule earth.
Genesis 11:5 – 9 – But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”
In heaven, from the very beginning, God’s plan was to give the people on earth 1000 years of peace. Before that would take place, they had to learn life without peace and whether to select God’s leadership or their own.
An individual had to be selected that would represent God and rule for those 1000 peaceful years. God chose Jesus Christ to be the one that would bring peace to earth when it was time. This infuriated Lucifer that he wasn’t chosen. As a result, he and his followers rebelled and because of their rebellion and negative attitudes, they were ousted from heaven and were placed on earth.
While on earth Lucifer or Satan still communicated with God and was able to stand in God’s presence. It is my belief that Satan stated he could prove to God that he could rule the people of earth and bring them peace. We are told in the Book of Job that Satan told God, the main reason people were worshipping and following God was because of God’s blessings making them prosperous. This was why Job was tested to prove that He trusted God when all material blessings were taken away and he physically suffered from many sores.
Satan continues to try and prove that he can bring peace to the world and is slowing convincing leaders how this will be done. He will use the United Nations or the European Union to bring about a one-world government. The United Nations was founded to bring peace to the world. Many leaders have been indoctrinated into believing that peace will only come when all people live under the same laws and regulations and will have equal standards of living in order to block any envy that might exist in the hearts of individuals.
Up to this point, none of this can be proven. It is just a suggestion of what one person, the writer, surmises may have happened. It is just a fictional wondering how everything that happened developed.
Scripture is very clear that there will be a one-world government and a one-world religion for 1000 years when Christ rules the earth. Revelation 20:5 – “They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” The Bible also confirms that Satan wants to be able to also be the ruler of a one-world government and religion to prove that he can, but will fail.
It is very evident we are in the process of seeing Satan’s plan unfolding. A radical ideology or theology will change the world when most moral restraints are removed and fanatical teachers and politicians spread their beliefs. A worldwide anti-God movement does exist. This will include the continual teachings of evolution, situation ethics (no absolute rules), moral freedom and self-sufficiency (man is not accountable to anyone), sexual permissiveness (everything is acceptable), and death education (there is no life after death). How much of this will be emphasized as a result of the Internet? For everything positive that the Internet provides there is a ton of potential for evil. But how else was Satan to deceive the world without having the availability of the Internet, TVs and movies to spout his deception and evilness? How long would the world have lasted if all of these inventions occurred 1800 years ago? Are they truly the blessing that most of us believe they were meant to be?
There will come a time when the world is so indebted that there will be an economic collapse. The threat of wars, crime in the streets and the stealing of one’s identity will be so severe that all people on earth will accept any leader who they believe can guarantee peace and an organized and just government. The Bible says there is a person, the Antichrist, who will occur and conceive the world into believing that he is the messiah and a person of world peace. He will be so charismatic and perform supernatural miracles that even Christians and people of all faiths will accept him as the one we can trust to save us.
The world must go through these devastating times, before Christ returns to put an end to the Antichrist’s rule and a chaotic world. It is then that Christ and His followers will live for 1000 years, with glorified bodies, in peace and love for one another. Satan is out to prove to God that he can rule the world and Scripture says God knows he will—temporarily, then the end to Satan.
Again, much of what has been written is based on Scripture but it is somewhat—no more than a possibility.
