The dramatic story of war among angels existed in heaven even before earth was formed. The great 17th century poet John Milton described in his masterpiece Paradise Lost what he considered the first test of free will: the fall of angels. His story begins when Lucifer is ordered to obey the Son of God. Lucifer refuses, the rebellious angels join him and challenge the power of God. On the first day, one of the powerful Seraphs and Lucifer meet, angel against angel. On the second day, the archangel Michael asks for assistance and on the third day the Son of God comes forward. He pursues the enemy to the bounds of heaven and the bad angels throw themselves into the bottomless pit. The war in heaven is over, but Lucifer is far from finished. God has created a new race – humans. The struggle between good and evil begins.
