The Scripture indicates that when Lucifer rebelled against the government of God he led with him about one third of the angels (Revelation 12:4). Did satan have a place in heaven before God?

    That's a theological question. We can't answer those here. You can ask, "How would I find information about this in Logos?"

    I'll answer it as a folklore-based Biblical parallels question. Ginzberg, Louis, Henrietta Szold, and Paul Radin. Legends of the Jews. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society, 2003. is the best common Logos resource that covers the topic. It has a good index that should lead you to the references in Judaic literature but this is an area where FL doesn't do all the work for you.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
