Did Satan try to overthrow God

[lentz]

I find it impossible for a child of God,to think that the very creator of all things,who is all knowing,who knows the number of hairs on your head,how many stars are in the universe,who knows the very thought of a persons mind....... Had no idea one angel was sneaking around behind his back,whipping up the crowd and gaining a third of the angels to enact a coup. And he knew nothing about it. Impossible.

Who says He didn't know about it?

He knows it's going to happen again in Revelation 20:7-9 .
But even though He could stop it now, long before it happens... He is going to let it happen.

Rev 12:7; And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war,
Rev 12:8; and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.
Rev 12:9; And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Luke 10:18; And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.

Ezek 28:11; Again the word of the LORD came to me saying,
Ezek 28:12; "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Ezek 28:13; "You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.
Ezek 28:14; "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezek 28:15; "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you.
Ezek 28:16; "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezek 28:17; "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you.
Ezek 28:18; "By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.
Ezek 28:19; "All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever."'"

Most scholars consider this to be a parallel prophecy. Meaning it is about two different things. There was a an Earthly nation of Tyre that had a king. Part of this passage applies to him.
However this king wasn't the cherub in the garden of Eden. Still the king of Tyre and cherub from the garden have similar motivations, and will end up the same way.

I see the point you are trying to make. But Revelation is after the fact. I believe the bible says the plan of salvation was conceived before creation. So God knew man would sin. Could Satan just be a tool God uses to perfect us? It really dont matter to me, just one of those things you meditate on in night.

And i see this is in wrong forum.
Forgive me. Half blind and inept i am.

He is a tool of GOD the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ is THE Devil's LORD and Creator. and He created Him Just by "Speaking Him the devil and And all creation By speaking the Word for Jesus Is The WORD. That Walked among us. and The GOD that has Always Been with GOD HIS FATHER and Have for EVER been. The GOD is Sitting as we may say, on His Throne. He just Speaks and His Sons speaks too, Who can even Speak as one them, Can The Devil Create, Can The DEVIL Speak Speak And Create? And Where Does The Devil Gets His Power From? And Even His Mind To Think? And Where To Go.
He Ask The Lord, Where can I Go, And He Ask The Lord If He Do This, Or Do That, And Then The Devil Ask HiM Can He Have Permission .

And you :"lentz" know all of this and more! And So Much More, Oh Yes You Do.
