Once a perfect and beautiful cherub, adorned with shimmering gems and gold, Lucifer was the "seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty" [citation:6]. His sin was pride—a desire to ascend above God and "raise his throne above the stars" [citation:6]. This rebellion corrupted his wisdom, and he was cast from heaven, taking a third of the angels with him [citation:8]. Jesus described the scene: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven" [citation:2]. His fall serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of pride and rebellion against God [citation:6]. Today, he prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to devour, but his ultimate defeat is assured. This is the story of how the light-bearer became the adversary.
