Did God know that lucifer and his angels would turn against him?
Isaiah 14:12 - 14
KJV - 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Hebrews 4:12-13 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." Lucifer and the fallen ones were created beings. The Lord knew and knows all that is and was and will be. Why did He allow it? I suppose it was all part of His justice and mercy. Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law."

My short answer is this: God created the Angels with them having a "free" will just like Adam and Eve! Satan just got filled with pride and wanted to "be like God" and he influenced other Angels to follow him in defiance to God! Of course God knew and knows everything, "for only He is God". "He is the everlasting to everlasting; only He sees all and knows all". So, God "cast Satan and his defying angel "friends"/followers out of Heaven, down to Earth;" never to return to the presence of God's Glory!(Revelation 12:9) Satan was and is the very definition and substance of pure evil! Satan's eternal destiny was and is established as described in God's Word! "Praise God we have a Savior! And, His name is the name above all names! His name is to be Glorified and Praised upon high! His name is JESUS CHRIST"! AMEN! and AMEN! --Andy--

Since Lucifer and his minions were cast from Heaven and sent to Earth, they have since been a source of evil on Earth. Adam and Eve were created by God and placed in a garden on Earth. They listened to Lucifer's lies and disobeyed God. Since then, people have had to deal with Satan and his minions. Our nation, USA is now dealing with Lucifer and his minions and will be tested with the choice of believing Lucifer’s lies or the Teachings of Christ. May our nation make the right choice. Our lives depend on our response. WWIII will end Earth as an inhabitable planet.

In the beginning God created heavens and earth. The earth was formless and darkness was over the surface of the deep…….. (Gen 1:-2). In this condition, God cast out Lucifer (Satan), the fallen angel and his followers out of heaven down to earth. How long this condition of the earth was, is not known. God wanted to restore the earth with habitat and for this reason, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. God said` Let there be light and He separated light from darkness. In this condition, He created everything and at the end God created man. Adam and Eve made an evil choice to rebel against their Creator. They damaged the image of God and passed on to all their descendents (Rom.5:12) But God foresee everything in advance. Through Christ we are made new creatures in the likeness of God (2Cor.5:17)

God is Omniscient. There is no time behind him. Time begins before him. He knows everything of the future. Lucifer is only created being. He doesn't know his limitations. God is love. His love knows no limits. He allowed Lucifer(Helel) with free will to exercise adoration, appreciation to God's nature. God knows his selfishness falls in uncontrolled deviation. God's love knows what is the answer to the evil problem. His love is not coward or of flaw. He can mend everything. Lucifer has no knowledge of it. It is God's love allowed him to grow in adoration, it is God's love thrown him from heaven. He can't act contrary to His love-law.
