This lesson discusses the origin and development of the war between good and evil. It will cover the consequences of Satan's rebellion against God and how God counteracted it through the plan of salvation. The lesson traces Satan's rebellion from his original position as Lucifer, the most beautiful of God's creatures, to his desire for power and position over God. This resulted in a war in heaven where Satan and his angels were defeated and cast out. Satan then deceived Adam and Eve and brought the war to Earth. God's plan of salvation through Jesus' life, death and resurrection defeated Satan and provides victory over sin and death for humanity.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. The rebellion
1. From Lucifer to Satan
2. The prince of this world
Redemption
1. War in heaven
2. War at the cross
3. Current war
This lessons we’re going to study the consequences of Satan’s
rebellion, and how God counteracted it with the Plan of
Salvation.
This lesson we are studying the origin and the development of
the war between good and evil.
4. “The law of love being the
foundation of the
government of God, the
happiness of all intelligent
beings depends upon their
perfect accord with its great
principles of righteousness.
God desires from all His
creatures the service of love
service that springs from an
appreciation of His character.
He takes no pleasure in a
forced obedience; and to all
He grants freedom of will,
that they may render Him
voluntary service.”
5. So long as all created beings acknowledged the allegiance of
love, there was perfect harmony throughout the universe. All
it took was one rebel, and everything changed. Lucifer
thought that he could do a better job than God did. He
wanted God’s position and the prestige that went with it.
6. His lust for power resulted in a “war in heaven” (Rev. 12:7). By
tricking Adam and Eve at the forbidden tree in Eden, Satan
brought that war to earth, and we have been living with the
consequences ever since. The plan of salvation is God’s way of
dealing with the rebellion and restoring the order and harmony
that Satan had disrupted.
7. “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning! How you are cut down to
the ground, you who weakened the nations!”
(Isaiah 14:12)
Isaiah 14:4-23 and Ezekiel 28:1-19 tell the story
of the origin and destiny of Satan in a prophecy
that was initially write for the kings of Babylon
and Tyre.
Satan is described as a “morning star”, beautiful
and perfect.
How did sin entered that perfect being?
He thought he deserved to be treated like God
because of his beauty. He wanted to be exalted
above Him (Isaiah 14:12; Ezekiel 28:17).
The Bible doesn’t explain the origin of sin, It
just recounts it: “You were perfect… till iniquity
was found in you.” (Ezekiel 28:15).
8. “It is impossible to explain the origin of sin so as to
give a reason for its existence. Yet enough may be
understood concerning both the origin and the final
disposition of sin to make fully manifest the justice
and benevolence of God in all His dealings with evil.
Nothing is more plainly taught in Scripture than that
God was in no wise responsible for the entrance of sin;
that there was no arbitrary withdrawal of divine
grace, no deficiency in the divine government, that
gave occasion for the uprising of rebellion. Sin is an
intruder, for whose presence no reason can be given. It
is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it is to defend
it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause be shown for
its existence, it would cease to be sin.”
E.G.W. (The Great Controversy, cp. 29, pg. 492)
9. “I will no longer talk much with you, for the
prince of this world is coming, and he has nothing
in Me.” (John 14:30)
How did Satan become the “prince of this world”?
God made Adam and Eve rulers of this world. Satan
usurped that position when he deceived them
(Genesis 1:28; 3:4-6).
Satan arrogated the right
to represent the Earth in
Heaven council meetings
to himself for some time
(Job 1:6-7).
Nevertheless, the prince was defeated by the King at
the Cross. Now we are waiting for God to give us back
the domain over the Earth. That will happen when “the
creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of
God.” (Romans 8:21).
10. “And war broke out in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought with
the dragon; and the dragon and his
angels fought.” (Revelation 12:7)
There was a war in Heaven. God
and the faithful angels defeated
Satan (the dragon) and his angels.
They were thrown out of Heaven
and war continued on Earth.
Satan tried to kill Jesus when
He was a baby (v. 4).
He used the pagan Rome to
persecute the early Church
(v. 13).
He “flooded” the Church
with unconverted people
and tried to destroy It for
1,260 years (v. 14-16).
He is currently trying to
destroy a faithful remnant
(v. 17).Some of the battles in that
war are told in Revelation 12.
11. “And He said to them,
‘I saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven.’”
(Luke 10:18)
Satan’s kingdom began to fall as the 70
preached the Kingdom of God.
Jesus gained our victory when He died.
He “disarmed principalities and
powers… triumphing over them in it [the
cross].” (Colossians 2:15).
This is an important point. Victory is not
ours, but Jesus’. He can be victorious
over Stan only if we hold on to Jesus.
12. “These things I have spoken to you,
that in Me you may have peace. In
the world you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
The devil is defeated, although he still
“walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8).
Jesus clearly explained it: we’ll suffer
affliction as long as we live here because
of sin.
If you feel downhearted, remember Paul’s
words; there’s a “great cloud of
witnesses” that have already overcame:
Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah,
Moses, Rahab… (Hebrews 11).
We can also overcome as
they did; we just need to
keep “looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of
our faith.” (Hebrews 12:2).
13. “When Christ took human nature upon Him,
He bound humanity to Himself by a tie of
love that can never be broken by any power
save the choice of man himself. Satan will
constantly present allurements to induce us
to break this tie—to choose to separate
ourselves from Christ. Here is where we need
to watch, to strive, to pray, that nothing may
entice us to choose another master; for we
are always free to do this. But let us keep our
eyes fixed upon Christ, and He will preserve
us. Looking unto Jesus, we are safe.
Nothing can pluck us out of His hand.”
E.G.W. (Steps to Christ, cp. 8, pg. 72)
