The Fallen Cherub

The Fallen Cherub
The Bible describes satan in two different ways—a seven-headed dragon with ten crowns and as a figure with wings who was nearly as large as the Archangel Michael.
In the light of God’s Word, we see that satan’s light had been extinguished a long time ago.
God’s Word reveals that satan is a fallen archangel.
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!
Isa 14:12 KJV
Lucifer was a "daystar"—referred to in the Scripture as "son of the morning" (KJV). He rebelled against God and was cast out of "heaven" (the Second Heaven) down to the Earth. When he fell to the Earth, he plotted “the Fall of Man” in the Garden, and he became king of "Mystery Babylon."

Ezekiel 28:14-19 has the record of Lucifer’s first rebellion against GOD.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
KJV
A passage in the book of Isaiah is parallel to this; revealing also that Lucifer held a position in the Second Heaven [the universe], out of where he was cast out.
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High (Isaiah 14:13-14 KJV).

Lucifer intended in his heart to ‘ascend into’ “the Third Heaven”—upon the Mount of the congregation [Mount Zion]—he thought of rebellion against GOD ALMIGHTY.
He led the rebellion of the fallen angels against GOD and His Kingdom and Government. He plotted extermination against “the Son of Man” when He was given birth as a “Child.”
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of Heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:4 KJV

Satan “the dragon” has been ousted from his throne of darkness; he has been dethroned with his demons (fallen angels) from the high places.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:7-9 KJV

Verse 12 says:
Therefore rejoice, ye Heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the Earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
KJV
Now [this present time], the devil knows that his time is short— ‘having great wrath’ (fury), he will plunge the whole world into the Great Tribulation.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the Earth, he persecuted the Woman which brought forth the man Child.
And to the Woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the Woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
And the Earth helped the Woman, and the Earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
And the dragon was wroth with the Woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ.(vv. 13-17 KJV)
When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the Earth, he realized that 'his time is short'—undersized—the period of his manipulative works and deception on men before "the Rapture" can only be brief. He is ‘that ancient serpent who leads the whole world astray.’
Now [this present time], the devil goes after "the Woman"—he now persecutes Israel with much pressure than ever in history.
Soon after the 15th of April 2014 - Passover, Hamas fired several rockets into Israel.
After series of warnings to the Palestinians to evacuate Gaza, Israel retaliated with air strikes on Hamas machinery locations. The United Nations (UN) accused Israel of "war crime."
Also, shortly after Sukkot “the Feast of Tabernacles” – October 8th 2014, Sweden voted anonymously in support of Palestine; declaring her stand against Israel, and encouraging other Scandinavian nations to do the same. Shortly after this, Israel closed down her embassy in Sweden.

In the time of the Great Tribulation, satan—the dragon will come against “the Elect” who will be given "the two wings of a great eagle," so that "she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness."
And “he will make war against the rest of her offspring — the saints—who obey God's Commandments and hold to the Testimony of Jesus.”

Satan’s "antichrist"—"the little horn" will persecute and kill "tribulation saints" [host of Heaven]. He will do this mysterious evil work for "the adversary of the saints."
And it waxed great, even to the host of Heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan. 8:10 KJV
The antichrist will kill many of the Jews. In violation of international agreements concerning the conventions of war, he will bring desolation to their Land.
Furthermore, verses 11 and 12 reveals:
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Jesus said, "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the Land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Luke 21:20-24 NIV).

God’s Word prophesies ‘the imprisonment of satan’ in the “bottomless pit” for a thousand years—after that, he will be released for a while (little season).
And I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Rev 20:1-3 KJV

After satan has been released from the Abyss, he “will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth”—Gog and Magog [Russia] and his satellites (Allied).  They will gather against God's people—against the City He Loves.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the Earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the Earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the Beloved City: and fire came down from God out of Heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:7-9 KJV

The Abyss will be satan's prison.
And, the nations that gather against Israel shall be destroyed by God Almighty.
Revelation 20:10 reveals that satan will be cast into “the lake of fire.”
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
