Ezek 28:12-17
"Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.

This scripture tells us that Lucifer was perfect, even anointed as a guardian angel. He lived in Eden, a garden paradise. Imagine
all the precious stones surrounding him with the glory of God shining
through those rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and other stones. Because of all of this splendor and his elevated status, pride got hold of him and corrupted him. Widespread trade means he solicits followers and entices them to follow him. He merchandized in bribes, enticing one third of the angels to follow him by promising them untold things.
Rev. 12;7
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
Michael was an archangel – a warrior angel. The dragon is Satan.

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

Isa 14:12
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
Luke 10:18
He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
God,
the Father and God the Son saw Lucifer fall out of heaven like a
lightning bolt flashes out of the sky. The reason for the fall of
Lucifer was pride. How careful we as Believers in Jesus, must be of
pride (the wrong kind).
He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
