After Satan’s rebellion, Satan was motivated more by his envy of God than his jealousy of God: true or false? This past week I have been reading a book written by John Milton called Paradise Lost. According to Wikipedia, “John Milton was an English poet and intellectual. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including over ten chapters, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval.” According to the British Library, “Paradise Lost is an epic poem (12 books, totaling more than 10,500 lines) written in blank verse, telling the biblical tale of the Fall of Mankind – the moment when Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and God banished them from the Garden of Eden forever.” According to Britannica, “Many scholars consider Paradise Lost to be one of the greatest poems in the English language. It tells the biblical story of the fall from grace of Adam and Eve (and, by extension, all humanity) in language that is a supreme achievement of rhythm and sound.” 

After Satan’s rebellion, Satan was motivated more by his envy of God than his jealousy of God: true or false? What is the difference between envy and jealousy? Jealousy means “fiercely protective or vigilant of one’s rights or possessions”, and envy means “desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable attribute belonging to (someone else).” True. Satan Wasn’t jealous of God, but envious of Him. He wanted what God has, which is power of everything. Because of this satan was kicked out of Heaven.
