What really happened when Satan fell—and how could angels rebel against God in the first place?
In this episode, Dr. E answers a deep theological question about heaven, angels, and the nature of evil. If heaven is perfect and without sin, how could rebellion ever exist?
Dr. Easley explains the difference between the final, sinless heaven and the broader spiritual realms described in Scripture. He also explores what angels are (and aren’t), why their rebellion was rooted in pride, and what that means for believers today.
This episode will help you better understand spiritual warfare, the unseen realm, and why Scripture calls us to stand firm—not fight—against spiritual forces.
