When was Satan's Fall From Grace?

[JonC]

NOT what I meant. Satan, in Eden before Adam, was jealous against Adam who came to Eden after Satan and received dominion that Satan thought belonged to him. This fits the pattern set forth in scripture.

I disagree thos fits the pattern of Scripture. I could say the exact same of pride (and probably provide even more examples in the Bible).

In Scripture I do not see that Satan became jealous of Adam and Eve. I do not see a passage stating that Satan thought dominion over the Garden of Eden belonged (or should have belonged) to him.

You could be correct, but that is speculation.

Greetings to you percho. Peace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on Genesis 3 are based on your quote of 1John 3:8. Is John not referring to something in the Scripture that his Jewish readers would recognize? Like maybe the story of Genesis chapter 3?

Peace to you brother

My thoughts are; On the earth the darkness of this age and the god of this age are present here; And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. From Gen 1:2

And on the earth, out of that darkness, God spoke Light to shine. Sin and death are already here and God is about to bring about the foundation of the world [ Kosmos ] into which Adam will bring that sin and death and through the death God will destroy the devil and his works. Heb 2:14 1 John 3:8
