Satan's Decent from Heaven to Hell
The journey of Satan according to John Milton’s
Paradise Lost
Satan Wages War
Against God
As an angel in heaven, Satan feels he is powerful enough to overcome God. He begins to
wage a war against the almighty.
The Battle of Angels BeginsSatan conjures up enough angels to follow his belief, and a starts a battle of
good and evil.
War in Heaven
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels
Revelation 12:7
Michael Battles Lucifer
The Warring Angels Call A Truce
Lucifer and his angels are defeated and no longer allowed into heaven.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:8
Rebel Angels Hurled From
Heaven
And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:9
Hell Receives Defeated Angels
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides
of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I
will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides
of the pit.
Revelation 14:13-15
Satan Rises From the Burning LakeSatan rises up to claim hell as his own domain and delivers a rousing speech to his followers
("Better to reign in hell, than serve in heav'n"). The logic of Satan (Satanic Logic) is introduced by: "The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."
So stretched out huge in length the Arch-fiend lay,Chained on the burning lake; nor ever thenceHad risen, or heaved his head, but that the willAnd high permission of all-ruling HeavenLeft him at large to his own dark designs,
Satan Speaks to His Legions
For who can yet believe, though after loss,
That all these puissant legions, who exile
Hath emptied heav’n
Satan still wants to battle for his belief in his right of power. He speaks to his followers and is angry that they have been casted out of heaven. He calls for a meeting with all the demons at
his Palace.
Pandemonium - Satan's Palace At Pandemonium, the high capital of Satan and his peers. Their summons called From
every band and squared regiment By place or choice the worthiest: they anon With hundreds and with thousands trooping came Attended
Here Beelezub tells Satan of a new world being built by God. This new world is to be home to man.
Satan Holds Court in HellSatan begins to organize his followers andnames Mammon and Beelzub as his
lieutenants. It is decided here that Satan will poison the newly created Earth.
As Satan journeys to Earth, he sees sin and death at the
gates of hell. Sin was born through a burst
of flame out of Satans forehead before he began his
war with God.
What thing thou art, thus double-formed,
and whyIn this infernal vale first
met thou call’st Me father,
and what phantasm call’st my son?
I know thee not, nor ever saw
til nowsight more detestable
than him and thee.
