Why Satan...
Q: If Heaven is Perfect how could Satan and 1/3 of the angels become corrupt?
A: God is perfect, and things he creates are perfect, but with freewill created beings have choices, and chose to rebel.
The current Heaven is God's dwelling place. He created it for the time of Time and mankind. Heaven didnt exist before God created it. He created angels to serve Him and mankind under God's direction.
They were eternal spiritual beings with some level of free will. Some of those created ones got prideful and thought they could take the Creators place. It shows they had a lack of understanding of things as well. Just as the ones in Heaven today are perplexed and curious about human "Salvation" as Scripture explains.
Angels are eternal spirits in eternal bodies.
Humans were made from dirt and were physical beings who have a soul and spiritual connection to God reestablished afyer salvation. So when they sinned, death entered their existence, and God blocked the way to the eternal tree of life fruit to prevent us eternally stuck in corrupted, diseased decaying bodies without a chance to be redeemed and have the spiritual reconnection to God fixed and be transforned into a new creation with a new nature and indwelling Holy Spirit. We would also be damned eternally like the fallen angels.
The fallen angels are not living in Heaven. They were thrown out, and now reek havoc on Earth, but still limited in what they can do, only by approval of and control of God. The righteous angels left in Heaven were sealed by God and they cannot sin. God uses the fallen ones to bring about His Will and good purposes with Humanity. They think theyre getting their way when He says yes to a request. [That is a bigger topic, not discussed here.]
God uses Satan for His purposes, but will one day lock them up eternally in Hell/Lake of Fire.
We cannot see these evil beings all around us. We know God has assigned an angel to everyone who will become saved. We know the angels fight the fallen ones 247 around us. We know God made sure we dont see the spiritual realm for varied good reasons, but He has given us a glimpse of some activity around us revealed in Scripture, and has allowed/revealed to us some more such as about Job, and Satan's fall & coming judgment.
One thing to note about judgment of sin regarding Fallen Angels and Humans...
Fallen Angels
1. 1st judgment: cast put of Heaven
2. 2nd judgment: he will be bound in the abyss for one thousand years
No salvation offer
3rd Judgment: will be cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity
Fallen Humans
1st Judgment: Spiritually severed from God (spiritual death)
Physically will die (physical death of this body)
Salvation offer: Have opportunity for salvation, which thru rebirth restores spiritual connection to God (gives spiritual life), and eternity with God.
2nd Judgment: All who die in sin without salvation in Christ will be placed in Hell and
3rd Judgment: be judged on Judgment Day, where they, in Hell are tossed into the Lake of Fire for eternity. (This is the second death. It doesnt mean anhilation just as we are not anhilated now, it means they live eternally as spiritually dead in a body fit for eternal punishment).
Those Saved will recieve their perfected nature and perfect eternal body fit for eternity with God.
God will destroy this Earth and bring a New eternally sin free Earth and Heaven into existence. The sealed angels and the redeemed humans in their perfected state will never have to worry abiut sin entering existence again, because it is now impossible. 😊
We humans can be saved, and it is vitally and of eternal importance that we get saved. If you arent saved or arent sure you are, see How to be Saved
