The devil was once a high-ranking angel who was originally perfect in all his ways. At some point in the past, he was overcome with pride and instigated a large rebellion against God. The Lord reacted by kicking the devil out of Heaven. It was such an uneven match that Jesus described Satan as falling from heaven as lightning (Luke 10:18).
The Bible doesn't really say much about Lucifer. The Islamic religeon explains the devil better, I watched a youtube vid lol, about the devil the uploader a Muslim explained the devil to a T.
In short - Lucifer the devil was the bringer of light one of Gods divine angels. He lost the plot when he wanted to be higher than God. A war erupted in Heaven between Satan and his angels that followed him and Jesus and his angels that stood by God. Like Man the angels also have free will they can turn against God anytime.
quote
Lucifer was the Anointed Cherub. Anointed means to be set apart for Gods Divine purpose. It also means "bestowal of Gods divine favor", and "appointment to a special place or function."
God had given Satan a certain amount of power and authority. But he perverted that power. Lucifer wanted to exalt himself above God... rather than "just" being the Angel of God.
