Sometime after their creation, and most certainly after the sixth day when everything was declared “very good” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Genesis%201.31" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Genes"><U><U>Genesis 1:31</U></U></A>), Satan rebelled and was cast out of heaven. “How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Isaiah%2014.12" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Isaia"><U><U>Isaiah 14:12</U></U></A>) When Lucifer sinned, Jesus said “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Luke%2010.18" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Luke%"><U><U>Luke 10:18</U></U></A>), and in the book of the Revelation he is seen as “a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revelation%209.1" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revel"><U><U>Revelation 9:1</U></U></A>). </div> <bR> <div> We are also told that one third of an “innumerable company of angels” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Hebrews%2012.22" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Hebre"><U><U>Hebrews 12:22</U></U></A>) chose to rebel with him. John saw this great wonder in heaven, “…an enormous red dragon…His tail swept <B>a third of the stars</B> out of the sky and flung them to the earth…the great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, <B>and his angels with him</B>” (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revelation%2012.3-9" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revel"><U><U>Revelation 12:3-9</U></U></A>). </div> <bR> <div> Since Satan is referred to as a star which fell or was cast down to earth, and <A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revelation%2012.4" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Revel"><U><U>Revelation 12:4</U></U></A> it says a third of the stars were cast out with him, then the conclusion is that the stars in Revelation 12 refers to fallen angels, fully one-third of the heavenly host. If the one-third number is in fact accurate, what assurance that is! Two-thirds of the angels are still on God's side, and for followers of Christ, they are on our side as well.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>This information has been used with permission from GOTQUESTIONS.ORG - see copyright, waiver & release details below .</B></div> <bR> <div> This particular pasage minus the brief description & picture at the top which I have added can be found in its original form by clicking this link : -</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.gotquestions.org/one-third-angels.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.gotquestions.org/one-third-an"><U><U>http://www.gotquestions.org/one-third-angels.html</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> <A NAME="copyright"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></FONT><B>Copyright Policy:</B> While all of the material on the GotQuestions.org website is under copyright protection, the only purpose of our copyright is to make sure people copy it right.
