OUR FATHER WHO CAST DOWN THE ONE WHO SOUGHT TO USURP HEAVEN'S THRONE

The book of Isaiah chapter 14 verse 12 says this;

How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!

You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

This well known verse, referencing the king of Babylon, standing in for Lucifer who is being expressed as the man lawlessness or the anti-Christ, having oppressed and destroyed the nations of the earth, is described as having been cast down from heaven to the earth.

This scene is mirrored by the  event that the Lord Jesus witnessed and described to his disciples in Luke chapter 10 verse 18;

He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

It appears that there is a principle in the universe that says that if you see a spirit being fall, authority over that Spirit is accrued to you.

Thus, because Jesus witnessed Satan fall from heaven, Jesus rightfully gained authority over the entire kingdom of Satan and this is why Jesus, when "the seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”, the Lord was able to say to them in verse 19;

 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
