The Revolt and Fall of Satan
The Cave of Treasures places the revolt of Satan on the sixth day of creation, straight after Adam is made king, priest and prophet. The prince of the lower order of angels sees the majesty given to Adam and grows jealous. He refuses to worship him and tells his hosts not to do so either, saying that he is fire and spirit and will not bow to a thing made of dust.
In this book the Rebel separates himself from God of his own free will. He and all his company are swept out of heaven at the second hour of the day and stripped of their glorious apparel. Once Satan is cast out, Adam is raised to Paradise in a chariot of fire, with angels singing before him.
