When Satan became disaffected in heaven, he did not lay his complaint before God and Christ; but he went among the angels who thought him perfect and represented that God had done him injustice in preferring Christ to himself. The result of this misrepresentation was that through their sympathy with him one third of the angels lost their innocence, their high estate, and their happy home. Satan is instigating men to continue on earth the same work of jealousy and evil surmising that he commenced in heaven. {5T 291.1}

(291) [Da Satan blev utilfreds i himmelen, fremlagde han ikke sin klage for Gud og Kristus; men han gik omkring blandt englene, der mente, at han var fuldkommen og fremholdt, at Gud havde gjort ham uret ved at foretrække Kristus frem for ham. Følgen af denne forkerte fremstilling blev, at en tredjedel af englene ved at give ham medhold mistede deres uskyldighed, deres høje stand og deres lykkelige hjem. Satan ophidser menneskene her på jorden til at fortsætte den samme gerning med misundelse og mistanke, som han begyndte i himmelen. Vejl f menigh bd. 2 side 87]
