Unlike many depictions in popular culture, the Bible never explicitly states that Satan is the ruler of Hell. It is said that on the Day Of Judgment Satan shall rise to power again and lead another war against Heaven, this time he and his followers will be cast down by God himself and sent to a lake of burning fire (Hell) as an eternal punishment for their many sins. Satan also attempted to convince Jesus not to be crucified as he would lose power because Jesus would bear the weight of humanity's sins. Satan also once attempted to undermine God's power by tempting Jesus Christ into bowing down and worshiping him, though Jesus refused to do so. He was defeated by Michael the Archangel and cast into Hell as punishment. Eventually, following the creation of humanity, he grew prideful and jealous of God's power as well as humanity for being favored by God over him and attempted to overthrow him, gathering up legions of followers in his fellow angels and revolting against God in the first war in Heaven. Lucifer also held the position of Accuser and would act as a kind of prosecutor in Heaven. Some Christians believe that Lucifer was the first of the angels and had no superior other than God himself. He was a cherub, according to one interpretation of Ezekiel 28:12-15. In the Old Testament, Satan was originally called Lucifer, the Morning Star, which means light-bearer. ![]()
