text: You will find the ¨Why¨ in Isaiah...14.12-14.17.\n\nSatan decided to go into heaven and to raise up his own throne above God´s.  He even thought he would be like God.\n\nBad career choice.  Isaiah 14.09 talks about the maggots and worms that now cover Satan.  \n\nAlso, Ezekiel 28.11 - 28.19.  His heart was lifted up by his own beauty.  God cast him to the ground.\n\nJesus saw him fall already.  Luke 10.18.  He said ¨I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven¨.\n\nThere is the Why and the verses.\n\nBut I also want to show you a different ending than some of the other answers.\n\nHere is another ¨why¨.  For this purpose, the Son of God came to the world, so that he might destroy the works of Satan.  1John 3.8\n\nAnd again...¨because He that is in you is greater than he who is in the world¨ 1John 4.4\n\nJust one more ¨WHY¨.  ¨And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed...it shall stand forever.¨ Daniel 2.44.\n\nHow is it that God plans to cast down Satan, set up a kingdom and destroy the works of Satan, if he really plans to send us all up in a rapture?\n\nFor those who care, I´m Jewish.\n\nThanks for the great question!
