text: why did satan come from heaven and is tehr scripture to back up your answere?   you will find the ¨why¨ in isaiah...14.12-14.17.  satan decided to go into heaven and to raise up his own throne above god´s.  he even thought he would be like god.  bad career choice.  isaiah 14.09 talks about the maggots and worms that now cover satan.    also, ezekiel 28.11 - 28.19.  his heart was lifted up by his own beauty.  god cast him to the ground.  jesus saw him fall already.  luke 10.18.  he said ¨i saw satan fall like lightning from heaven¨.  there is the why and the verses.  but i also want to show you a different ending than some of the other answers.  here is another ¨why¨.  for this purpose, the son of god came to the world, so that he might destroy the works of satan.  1john 3.8  and again...¨because he that is in you is greater than he who is in the world¨ 1john 4.4  just one more ¨why¨.  ¨and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed...it shall stand forever.¨ daniel 2.44.  how is it that god plans to cast down satan, set up a kingdom and destroy the works of satan, if he really plans to send us all up in a rapture?  for those who care, i´m jewish.  thanks for the great question!
