The Fall of Satan
The Devil blames Adam for his expulsion from heaven, saying God created Adam in his image.
The Origin of Satan – Library of Rickandria
When the archangel Michael commanded all angels to worship Adam, the Devil refused, saying he would not worship one lower than himself.
Michael, also called Saint Michael the Archangel, Archangel Michael and Saint Michael the Taxiarch is an archangel and the warrior of God in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The earliest surviving mentions of his name are in third- and second-century BC Jewish works, often but not always apocalyptic, where he is the chief of the angels and archangels, and he is the guardian prince of Israel and is responsible for the care of the people of Israel. Christianity conserved nearly all the Jewish traditions concerning him, and he is mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7–12, where he does battle with Satan, and in the Epistle of Jude, where the archangel and the devil dispute over the body of Moses.
Seeking revenge, the Devil then tricks Eve into causing Adam’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden as well, paralleling his own fall from glory.
Eve is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. According to the origin story of the Abrahamic religions, she was the first woman to be created by God. Eve is known also as Adam’s wife.
Upon hearing this, Adam cries out to God for protection from the Devil.
Adam is the name given in Genesis 1–5 to the first human. Adam is the first human-being aware of God, and features as such in various belief systems (including Judaism, Christianity, Gnosticism and Islam). According to Christianity, Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This action introduced death and sin into the world. This sinful nature infected all his descendants and led humanity to be expelled from the Garden. Only through the crucifixion of Jesus, humanity can be redeemed. In Islam, Adam is considered Khalifa (خليفة) (successor) on earth. This is understood to mean either that he is God’s deputy, the initiation of a new cycle of sentient life on earth, or both. Similar to the Biblical account, the Quran has Adam placed in a garden where he sins by taking from the Tree of Immortality, so loses his abode in the garden. When Adam repents from his sin, he is forgiven by God. This is seen as a guidance for human-life, who sin, become aware of their mistake, and repent. In Gnostic belief-systems, the bodily creation of Adam is viewed in a negative light. Due to the underlying demonization of matter, Gnostic cosmologies depict the body as a form of prison of Adam’s soul. This soul would have been transferred by Sophia (wisdom) onto the creator (Demiurge) of the material world, who in turn is tricked into blowing the soul into a body.

12.1 Groaning, the Devil said:
“O Adam, all my enmity, jealousy, and resentment is towards you, since on account of you I was expelled and alienated from my glory, which I had in heaven in the midst of the angels.
On account of you I was cast out upon the earth.”
12.2 Adam answered:
“What have I done to you?
12.3
What fault do I have against you?
Since you have not been harmed nor injured by us, why do you persecute us?”
13.1 The Devil answered:
“Adam what are you saying to me?
On account of you I was cast out from heaven.
13.2
When you were formed, I was cast out from the face of God and was sent forth from the company of the angels.
When God blew into you the breath of life and your countenance and likeness were made in the image of God, Michael led you and made you worship in the sight of God.
The Lord God then said:
‘Behold, Adam, I have made you in our image and likeness.’
14.1 Having gone forth Michael called all the angels saying:
‘Worship the image of the Lord God, just as the Lord God has commanded.’
14.2 Michael himself worshipped first then he called me and said:
‘Worship the image of God Jehovah.’
14.3 I answered:
‘I do not have it within me to worship Adam.’
When Michael compelled me to worship, I said to him:
‘Why do you compel me?
I will not worship him who is lower and posterior to me.
I am prior to that creature.
Before he was made, I had already been made.
He ought to worship me.’
15.1
Hearing this, other angels who were under me were unwilling to worship him.
15.2 Michael said:
‘Worship the image of God.
If you do not worship, the Lord God will grow angry with you.’
15.3 said:
‘If he grows angry with me, I will place my seat above the stars of heaven and I will be like the Most High.’
16.1
Then the Lord God grew angry with me and sent me forth with my angels from our glory.
On account of you we were expelled from our dwelling into this world and cast out upon the earth.
16.2
Immediately we were in grief, since we had been despoiled of so much glory,
16.3
and we grieved to see you in such a great happiness of delights.
16:4
By a trick I cheated your wife and caused you to be expelled through her from the delights of your happiness, just as I had been expelled from my glory.”
17.1
Hearing this, Adam cried out with a great shout because of the Devil, and said:
“O Lord my God, in your hands is my life.
Make this adversary of mine be far from me, who seeks to ruin my soul.
Give me his glory which he himself lost.”
17.2
Immediately the Devil no longer appeared to him.
17.3
Adam truly persevered for forty days standing in penitence in the waters of the Jordan.
