       At present, we know that Satan’s fall occurred after the creation of the world by God, for the passage I just read in Isaiah tells us that. For Satan said, “I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high.” So, we know that it had to be after God had created all the stars of the Universe. Taking this a step further, we know that Genesis 1:31 stated, “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day” (ESV). If you were to include angels in the creation, at that point we know that all angels were good at least up until the end of Day Six. The Apostle John seems to support this point when he said in his epistle that “the devil has been sinning from the beginning” (1 John 3:8, ESV). He didn’t say, “the devil has been sinning long before the beginning” but “from the beginning.”
