It appears that this universe was created by God, possibly by a big bang, and then given to Lucifer himself for a time. I believe that we are on Lucifer's turf as long as we exist on planet earth.
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! -
Isaiah 14:12
Lucifer -
heylel in the Hebrew (light bearer) from
halal - Or to shine
***Note as this is a Hebrew word it is not a king of Babylon
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. -
Revelation 12:3-4
I believe that before the big bang there were three sets of Arch-Angels....
1. Michael - Over strong angels
2. Gabriel - Over wise angels
3. Lucifer -Over worshiping angels
Lucifer seems to be the angelic name... The names devil and Satan came after the fall, along with their evil connotations. We can know the ways of Lucifer by examining his ways on earth. If you look into the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil you can see a lot of ways manifest by the lyrics of the song, including, "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint."
In reading over the true story behind the movie "The Exorcist" I find the Catholic priest stating this to the demonic forces...
Priests: In the name of the one God in three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I order you to depart and worship the Holiest Virgin. In the name of the Holiest Virgin and in the name of Jesus… I order you to leave! In the name of the one God in three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I order you to worship the Holiest Virgin.
The Voice: No.
Priests: You didn’t want to submit to the Heavens, but you had to. To the One God in three Persons, the Holiest Virgin, the Holy Angels, and to Michael the Archangel. Withdraw… In the name of the one God in three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Notice that the priest brought Michael the Archangel into the situation. Michael's third are greater in power than Lucifers third.
There was a powerful and drawn out sigh and then silence afterwards. As this process endured, at the end was finally Lucifer, and he was the last one left.
When he was asked why he was there, his response was “Because I wanted to reign. To be the only creature on Earth. I didn’t want to serve anyone.” At the end, he stammered and stuttered through the “Hail Mary” like those before him, and he too left Anneliese. - from

In the story of the Exorcist we also find Lucifer's reason for the rebellion, in his own words, "I did not want to serve anymore."
