God is Perfect where all of His creation of Angels and Humans were given Free Will to make decisions. God gave all:

  1. Life,
  2. Place to live,
  3. A purpose,
  4. Love to be received and given, and
  5. Fellowship in recognizing the love given by God which is worship
     

 

God, because He is perfect, will not violate the gift given to Angels and Humans to stop their own decisions that can be against God. There was no reason for Lucifer and the Fallen Angels to choose to go against God, but God because of His perfect nature would not violate His own character of perfection to stop them.



Lucifer and the Fallen Angels did not think there would be any consequences because there was no rebellion, rejection, and sin against God before the event that would have caused God to give consequences and judgment. God s judgment began with a plan that was going to deal with the Fallen Angels over time as God will not allow the sinful Fallen Angels to stay in His Presence and the results of the rebellion had to be shown so that perfect judgment could be done. God, with respect from this author, was having to start perfect justice that never had been required before the rebellion.



The Earth was part of the Kingdom of God before the rebellion of Lucifer and the Fallen Angels ( list refs). The consequences on the Earth because of the rebellion caused the Earth to go into a state of foreboding darkness covering the entire earth with water, Genesis 1:1, as God did not create the Earth with a foreboding darkness and void. In Genesis 1:2, God did a restore on the Earth, which many Biblical Scholars believe that was showing to all the Fallen Angels and God s Angels that Lucifer did not have the power to create anything.



There are Biblical Scholars that believe, as this author, that there are scriptural references that hint of something alive was on the Earth before the destruction of Genesis 1:1 because the Earth became void. The scriptural passage of ( look up later } states that Lucifer would not release his prisoners which infers a time not given, where we know that Lucifer was in charge of everything before the rebellion.



The fall of Adam and Eve is different than the Fallen Angels, as Adam and Eve did sin, but they did not rebel against God. God, because of His perfection of giving humans free will just as the Angels have, did not violate their free choice, knowing ahead of time their mistake would happen. Suffering and death were introduced because of Adam and Eve, but God already had a plan to restore all humans, that would choose God, to be in a future perfect environment with abundant life, purpose, love to be received and given and fellowship in recognizing love given by God which is worship.
