HEAVEN

In the beginning was the one who is called the Word. The Word was with God and was truly God. From the very beginning the Word was with God. And with this Word, God created all things. Nothing was made without the Word. Everything that was created received its life from him, and his life gave light to everyone. The light keeps shining in the dark, and darkness has never put it out. 

(John 1:1-3; Genesis 1:1-2)

The angel Lucifer grew to desire God’s position in heaven, aspiring to be just like the Most High God. This is Satan’s origin story. Once he made his position known, he was cast out of heaven. 

(Luke 10:18; Isaiah 14:12-14)
