God set His plan rolling. Then came into existence matter – the earth and its foundation in the heavens.
“Then the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy”- Job 38:7. Morning Stars. Sons of God. All Spirit beings. All created by God. All created by His Word. Even before He created anything.

One such “star” wanted to break free. One of God’s creation wanted to raise above his Creator. One of the sons of God had occupied so prominent a position in the court of God that pride entered him. He thought he could subdue his Creator. Fool! The sprit-being who revolted against the authority of God became Satan, God’s adversary, from then on. He was (unfortunately!) nowhere near when God purposed and planned His course.

This star gathered a significant number of angels around him to support his intentions – one third of the spirit beings. He deceived them and made them believe that he would succeed in this endeavour. The Bible calls this personality Satan – the enemy. He is the adversary of God. He is also called the adversary of the believing kind. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: - 1 Pet 5:8. He is a liar and a murderer from the beginning and is the father of lies. He is also called the prince of this world / age, the Devil, the evil one, the Old Serpent, the wicked one, the accuser, and the Dragon.
