One of the oldest stories Christianity, and before Christianity, Judaism talks about is how Lucifer was ousted out of Heaven due to his rebellious behavior. Some stories talk about Lucifer wanting to be like God and earning to be worshiped he rebelled against God so he could take His place. Some other stories, such as the story written by John Milton in Paradise Lost books state that Lucifer threw a tantrum when God presented His Son as His right hand and the successor of the Heavenly Throne.

Regardless of the reason for Lucifer’s rebellion, he lost and then was cast into what is now called Hell. Here he lamented and tried to regain his previous status, but his pride and the legions of angels and heavenly hosts who fell with him made him reconsider his lamentation, finally deciding to be evil and make Hell his kingdom.

The previously glorious angels and heavenly bodies of Heaven are free falling into their new home, Hell.

Paradise Lost by John Milton “Over the burning Marle, not like those steps/ On Heavens Azure, and the torrid Clime/Smote on him sore besides, vaulted with Fire; Nathless he so endur’d, till on the Beach/Of that inflamed Sea, he stood and call’d.”
