They called him Lucifer back then, we call him Satan/Devil right now. Have you ever wondered about what the Devil planned to do with God if the coup in heaven had succeeded? I assume that the devil is smarter than all we humans but maybe 'less' smarter than God. So lets work with that assumption.
When we humans plan a coup, we usually have contingency plans in place on what will happen to the former leader that was overthrown. Most times it boils down to two options:
1. Kill the leader.
2. Throw the leader in Jail.
Most times throughout history, the leader has ended up being killed just because it is more cleaner and less worry that he might escape and foment trouble later.
Now lets go back to the options available to Lucifer. Lucifer could either kill God or he could throw him in jail. Now as a human being, I would not risk throwing God in Jail I would rather make sure he was dead because afterall God being alive posed a major threat to my new found regime. So I would venture to say that Devil if he was reasonable would seek the death penalty for the Lord our God. Which would raise an interesting question as to whether God can be killed.
Now some of you will say well Azazel, what is the point of all this over-thinking etc. Afterall, God ended up winning and Satan lost. Let us not forget that Satan convinced 1/3 of angels in heaven to side with him. That is no easy feat. That is the mark of a person who had made carefully strategic plans and even though they never bore fruition, at least the devil got to own earth.
I asked a question the other day on twitter, I asked what would happen if the Devil ruled the world? This one girl said that the world would be 'unlivable', that the devil would kill everybody. Blah Blah Blah LOL. Little did she know that the same bible states explicitly that the devil actually rules this world as per 'Earth'
In 2 Corinthians 4:4 - The devil is called the god of this world. He is the king or prince of this world. Now explain to me how the devil got a rotten deal? He got to rule the earth, something created by God. Maybe that was all he sought in the first place, afterall why rule something that is already being ruled when you can rule something of your own? Maybe the coup wasn't in order to take control of heaven, maybe it was to take control of earth.
The coup in heaven, happened before earth was created? So why would God go create us humans in a world that he knew was controlled by the Devil and his minions? Something that he knew had a high chance of failure.
Some of you will then say, 'Azazel if the Devil ruled earth, why would he allow God to walk into it and not 'arrest' or 'kill' God on site. I guess it's the same reason why the devil is able to walk into heaven when ever he pleases as evidenced in the book of Job 1.
The whole gist of this post is to make una think, if I didn't succeed in that then that just plain sucks.

hmm...whether God can be killed. I think God is not really supernatural as much as we make it. Maybe he's just far higher than us in the evolutionary chain..and so hes evolved beyond our current contraints of space and time, renderin him invisible physically. Mayb evolution will one day make us get to that point..i'll think more deeply on this and work it out.
And yea, i know it has nothing to do with ur post but u succeeded in making me think, its no ones fault where the thoughts decide to go.
Yup definitely nobody's fault where your thoughts go..
My point is to make the reader reflect a little lol
You certainly got me thinking. hmm...You think maybe God and Devil are more pally pally than we imagine?
LOL... That "unlivable" comment was hilarious... I swear an overarching theme in the Bible is how the "world" is the Devil's and we shouldn't conform to it... So the world is unlivable abi?
I never understood the whole God vs. Satan dynamic. Even if it turns out that God wins eventually cos Satan is banished to the "lake of fire" with his followers at the end of time, I swear Satan still gets more souls... I mean the Bible says that the path to destruction is wide while that which leads to salvation is narrow right? So most humans will go to Hell... Devil has more people, yet he loses? hmm...
I guess the only way out of that is the classic "quality over quantity" argument... Singing praises in paradise seems preferable to roasting for eternity... Sorry for just rambling... I guess we can't fully understand some of these things...
uhm.......uhm.......thought provoking alright!!!
Hmmmm..
I cannot discuss the Superiority or form of God cause what guides me is simple: FAITH and BELIEF...
That way, I don't question or let my imagination run wild..
I figure you're neither a believer nor unbeliever cause then, I'd figure you out..
I was here.
Hmmmmmm, very interesting. I never thought of it that way. But seriously thinking and wondering about what happened to God and Satan can make someone go mental. I remember when i was 13, i used to ask my self ''Who created God'' ''if God knows tomorrow, why can't he take the holy people from earth and let the one's that will perish go with satan'' I thought about this for 2 years and it got me no where. When it comes to the spiritual realm i just want to believe.
Nice 1 tho...

I think what you want to get us to do is guess that you are one of the team that wrote SUPERNATURAL under a pseudonym. Greeting to Dean and Sam -lol
The earth had been created before the coup occurred,so when devil was cast down with the other angels,they decided to torment man in order to anger GOD,& slept with the woman on earth who gave birth to giants, hence the seed of GOD was tinted,thus GOD sent Jesus, one of the 3 powerful archangels/ seraphim's around HIS throne who agreed to come & reconcile man to HIM... when GOD HIMSELF asked who would go for HIM...hence, the GRACE HE had given us, because Master Jesus had paid the ultimate price with his blood, in the blood we have the confidence that ALL our sins are forgiven & can come boldly to the THRONE OF GOD to seek HIS face & ALL keys to heaven & hell had been given to Christ who sits at the right hand of GOD to rule the over mankind.
CAN AN IMMORTAL BE KILLED AZAZEL? They would be cast into the bottomless pit till eternity! The bible said LUCIFER is known as the bright morning sun because GOD created him with the best of all the materials he had, no wonder he was able to convince 1/3 of the angels...as for the book of JOB, i still have some reservations about who wrote that book, i see it as more of a folk tale, which was put into the bible...just as i see the book of ESTHER.... because the bible consist of the cultural & spiritual beliefs of the ISREALITIES.
I read this post and now my mind wont rest, well damn!
lemme add my two cents...In the same bible you just quoted, it says everything that was ever created was created thorough Jesus (John 1)... Satan might rule the Earth... but he does not own the earth... the world was " innocent" and God used to roam the Earth but God ties with the world were severed due to Eve eating the fruit of knowledge... two cents have been added...
Love Lami
