Today's Question: Why did Lucifer fall?
We need to understand what Lucifer is.
- “How you are fallen from heaven, O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! (Isaiah 14:12)
- I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” (Revelations 22:16)
- 19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; (2 Peter 1:19)
Lucifer is a title or a function. This title or function may have had things to do with the God's Judgment of Nations. Satan was Lucifer. Jesus became The Morning Star.
Arch Angel Michael has been known as mankind's advocate. Satan was an accuser. God is The Judge. We have a courtroom.
God judges sin in particular ways. God judges the Nations in particular ways. There are rules or laws to how the spiritual works.

- Job 1
7 And the Lord said to [f]Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” 8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you [g]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and [h]shuns evil?” 9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not [i]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse[j] You to Your face!” 12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [k]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. (Job 1:7-12)
- Satan Thrown from Heaven.
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Revelations 12:7-9)
Satan, a fallen angel, was an accuser, with a function pertaining to judgement of sin.
God gifted Adam authority over the Earth. Satan gained authority over the Earth by cunning. Adam and Eve had free will. Satan rebelled from God due to a feeling of entitlement. God defeated Satan, legally, with a loophole. From original sin, God had a plan to bring all of mankind back under God. Satan didn't see the plan. When the plan came to fruition, Satan was angry.
Some people have talked about "The Devil's Backbone." That is a lie. Satan was more of a spoiled noble who felt entitled, and lost, and then threw a tantrum.
Addendum -
Question: What if someone was worshiping a Lucifer, as a fallen angel?
That would be a demon. There is Satan, a Fallen Angel. "A Satan" may have been a demonic entity who was ruler of a principality.
Is your soul saved? The only way to heaven is through The Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven is oneness with God.
Given someone was worshipping what they believed to be Lucifer, as a fallen Angel, they may have been doing a lot of evil, and a particular demon had claim to their soul. Demons feed off man's fear. Are you afraid of a medieval torture chamber? How about being eaten alive? There are layers to hell. Experiences may vary.
Question: Why did God give Satan authority in Job 1?
Satan may have known some things about God, and God's Law, and how God judges sin. God's law, how God judges, is not 100% the Laws of Moses, nor is it spelled out verbatim in the Bible. Someone finds it in-between the lines, by observing mankind, or by asking God.
Satan has no power in and of himself. Satan has been like mankind's envious half-brother who worked to get man in trouble with God.
Question: What is the difference between an angel and a demon?
An Angel was a created being who may have governed over some aspect of creation. A lot of pagan gods had roles with some sort of aspect of creation. Satan, a fallen angel, had a function towards testing of men's hearts, and judgement of sin. God tests the heart.
Demons were born of the sins of men. In the story of Cain and Able, Able was the first murder. A demon may have been born of that sin.
Question: Aren't demon's Nephilim spirits?
No.
Some demons may have been born of particular sins pertaining to a period of time where there were Nephilim. Demons were born of the sins of men.
Demons may have been tied to particular sins. Being born of men, a demon can possess. Angels cannot possess.
When it comes to demons......some people have been sadists. Whoever wrote "The Boys" TV Series on Amazon was a sadist. He was into some weird stuff. Was someone more of "One mind," and of a similar character as the writer of "The Boys?" Harvey Weinstein was a very liberal guy. Liberal in politics tends to equate liberal in morality. How far would someone go down that rabbit hole, and push taboos and traditions like an Aleister Crowley or a Richard Dawkins? Given someone was more of "one mind" with those people, they may have been like your Rabbi. Were they doing ugly things like a Ditty Party?
Man is made in the image of God or "Our Image." "Our Image" being God and the angels. The Spiritual is a reflection. What was man reflecting? Hell may be like God's Dungeon or trash bin. Given your soul was weighted down with sin, you may have sank like a man with mill stone around his neck.
As Christians, we should be of one mind and one spirit. (Philippians 2:2) What spirit was someone of?
Question: Should people fear hell?
God is a creator. He created all things. A man should have a fear of God. Fear of God is a good thing. Fear of God takes away fear of man. (And other things.) God is love. God's love is fatherly. You are doing the right things? What do you have to fear? Perfect love knows no fear.
Growing up as a young man, I suppose I had a fear of hell. It seemed like an unpleasant place. Right here on Earth, God disciplines you as a man disciplines his son. (Deuteronomy 8:5) My dad spanked me. I gained an understanding of fear God as a man may fear his dad. More than being spanked, I feared my dad's disapproval. I worked to do right.
Was someone an educator who believed that corporal punishment was wrong, and spanking children was bad? They probably loved their life, and put a lot of emphasis on healthcare. The wages of sin are death, and they were dead. If you love your life, you will lose it, if you hate your life in this world, you will keep it for eternal life. (John 12:25)
