I've read Paradise Lost, and in the poem it states that Satan was the mightiest of the angels. Satan rebels after the prophesy of the coming of the son of God. (ie Jesus) Satan ddn't like being second to God, and he couldn’t stand being third. I’ve never read more than Genesis in the Old Testament and I know Paradise Lost isn’t a biblical writing, but Milton was a biblical scholar, and I trust him.
