Lucifer was not the highest ranked angel in heaven

[Diamond72]

Do you believe he was the highest angel in heaven before the creation of earth and man? Why?

Michael and Gabrial are higher. Otherwise, Gabrial would not be able to throw him out of Heaven.

Cherubim don't necessarily represent low-ranking angels.

Satan is a high ranking archangel and is usually referred to as having his own angels in terms of his leading role (i.e., archangel).

Revelation 12:7 (NIV)
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

Matthew 25:41 (NRSV)
Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;

Revelation 12:9 (NRSV)
The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
