Yes, Jesus did say in Luke 10:Just as the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world, so too Satan fell as a star from heaven to earth before the world began. Which was the beginning of light, but also darkness. This is the "half of time" (or dividing of time) spoken of by Daniel, which has been since the beginning. The locus and scorpions which come out of the pit are the agents of Satan, of the darkness and evil. Their work is from the beginning to the end.
[17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
[18] And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
When that took place, of satan being cast out of heaven and onto the earth, it had to have been after this global earth was created, but not before the first appearance of Christ in the likeness of our flesh. Rev. 12:1-17.
Though those prophetic scriptures are quite intense about satan and his angels being cast out of heaven and onto the earth, when we view the book of Job, we are shown that satan (Lucifer) at that time, was able and allowed to approach God and accuse God of protecting Job, thus receiving God's permission to tempt and try the faith of Job.
Job 1:6-12
In Rev. 12:5-11 we see that the "accuser" satan, no longer has access to heaven or God Himself, and is now bound "in chains of darkeness" (2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6, Rev. 20:1-3), which is meaning that he does not have any light/knowledge of the Truth of God, and how God's Truth (Jesus) has been, and still is, taking up residence in all who repent towards God, through faith in Jesus. Rom. 8:8-9, 1 John 5:12-13, Rev. 3:20.
