Thesis 12: The Fall Of The Angels

Satan, a chief angel,[1] was filled with pride[2] and led a rebellion with a major part of the stars (angels) of heaven.[3] (Angelic beings are often described in terms of celestial phenomena [#30; #53].) Satan tempted man as a serpent,[4] but his head would eventually be crushed.[5]
