Lucifer StorY

A myth^[4] of the fall of angels, associated with the Morning Star, was transferred to Satan, as seen in the Life of Adam and Eve and theSecond Book of Enoch,^[5] which the Jewish Encyclopedia attributes 2 the first pre-Christian century:^[6] in these Satan-Sataniel (sometimes identified with Samael) is described as having been 1 of the archangels. Because he contrived "2 make his throne higher than the clouds over the earth and resemble 'My power' on high", Satan-Sataniel was hurled down, with his hosts of Angels, and since then, he has been flying in the air continually above the abyss.^[4]
