Where did the sons of God meet?
Cast out then cast down
We believe that the devil sinned before man was created, and this is right, but not many of us can prove from bible that this is the case.
This is important to establish, because Here is that proof.
Ezekiel 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
We all know that Lucifer was in heaven the covering cherub before God until iniquity was found in him. Please note that he was in the garden of God before he sinned.
This is a reference that the garen placed on the Earth,,which God called Eden was actually his garden,
So up until this time we know that Lucifer was perfect and then cast out of heaven. NO do tell. If everywhere is heaven where was he cast.
It stands to reason that God created a special place for him. That special presion being called the deep, the abyss darkness. Darkness is the punishment of the wicked.
Matth 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matth 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matth 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Similarly when the devil was cast out of the kingdom , he and the other deceived angels were cast into outer darkness.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
In genesis we see a most peculiar thing. Before the Lord opens his mouth to create anything there is already the presence of darkness and water. This is evidence that the fall of lucifer and his punishment was executed before the earth was created.
So we all agree that Lucifer was thrown from heaven and placed in a place that he could only beckon to passing angels I n heaven. Don’ you see the prison analogy.
Desires of ages
Could one sin have been found in Christ, had He in one particular yielded to Satan to escape the terrible torture, the enemy of God and man would have triumphed. Christ bowed His head and died, but He held fast His faith and His submission to God. "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." Rev. 12:10. {DA 761.1}
Satan saw that his disguise was torn away. His administration was laid open before the unfallen angels and before the heavenly universe. He had revealed himself as a murderer. By shedding the blood of the Son of God, he had uprooted himself from the sympathies of the heavenly beings. Henceforth his work was restricted. Whatever attitude he might assume, he could no longer await the angels as they came from the heavenly courts, and before them accuse Christ's brethren of being clothed with the garments of blackness and the defilement of sin. The last link of sympathy between Satan and the heavenly world was broken. {DA 761.2}
