Rational beings must be created with free will and must freely choose, serve God or not; otherwise they will be unable to develop independent.

One of the most high Cherubim refused to obey God's rule, and began a rebellion, which was that he raised himself above the creator of Christ and to God (the Father) :

"And said in my heart: I will ascend into heaven... at the height of the cloud, going beneath Ben God" (Isaiah 14.13-14).

 

The rebellion of Satan has flouted God's Law :

a) making himself equal with God, has broken the first commandment;

b) being the creation and putting themselves become over others, it violated the principle of equality of creations: "You don't call yourself teachers, for you have one teacher, the Christ, all of you are brothers. And the father himself did not call anyone on Earth, for you have one Father. And not call yourself as mentors..." (Matt 23.8-10).

 

"Satan felt that God Jehovah is wrong with laws and administration on the inhabitants of heaven, and that he wished to correct these laws and show that looks good" ("The Great Controversy").

This he argues:

a) he versed more of God, then God is not omniscient and omnipotent;

b) therefore God cannot be fair and compassionate, and He - the tyrant.

Satan has achieved his goal. Many people began to consider God strict and tyrannical.

ONLY THE TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD DO NOT THINK SO.

 Therefore, God allowed Satan to demonstrate his claims and their results. His own work as a deceiver should have condemned him.

A third of the angels were involved in the rebellion by Satan. Because of the rebellion and war in heaven, Satan and his angels were finally cast out of heaven :

"His tail carried away a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the ground" (Rev 12.4).

 "And there was war in heaven... the dragon and his angels fought against them, but they could not stand, and there was no longer room for them in heaven" (vv.7-8).
