Isaiah 14:12-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer,[a] son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial,
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
The brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children
Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”
Babylon Destroyed
22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And cut off from Babylon the name and remnant,
And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine,
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.

MY God, we can understand how important for us to walk uprightly before our God, he's no respecter of person, and if we don't abide in his word and allow them to abide in us, and walk in total obedience we can wake up one day in the same place.
HalleluYAH, bless you Pastor Patricia. You better say that. It isthe truth and the whole truth, so set us Free oh God. Lord of Hosts we all humble ourselves before you Lord.
The Lord knows what to do and when to do it.

It appears the Satan's fall was a direct result of his self exaltation that was manifested in his pride.
The fall of the no name(ISA 14:12-23)
Amen Satan time is now ever shorter then before.
Powerful reading.... no name you have been cast down and defeated, in the name of Jesus
My GOD, we see what happened to satan and what will happen to those who willfully follow in his footsteps. My GOD, this reading gave me a greater and different understanding every time I read it.
Great reading.
