Satan and the angels who rebelled against God and his authority fell from heaven to the earth's atmosphere. They prevented light from shining on this earth. Darkness filled the earth and the earth's atmosphere was filled with chaos. The surface of the earth was empty and contained nothing.

Satan (literally, the adversary – you will read about him everywhere in this book ABHOT), the leader of the rebellious angels (and human rebels today), fell to the first heaven from where he had access to the earth as well as to the Lord’s presence; the second heaven was not in existence at this time. His meeting place with the Lord (Job 1:6; 2:1; Zec 3:1; (Jud 1:9)) could have been somewhere in the second heaven (created on the second day) or the first. Fast forward. After the birth of Jesus, the promised “Man Child” and “Seed of the woman” on earth, there was war in the second heaven (or first) with Satan and his evil angels on one side and the loyal angels lead by Michael on the other (Rev 12:7-9). Satan fell like a lightning (Luke 10:18) from there to the earth or / and its atmosphere where the evil angels already were (Eph 2:2).
