But Satan's descent from heaven was not described in the Bible, so there's not much point in quoting the Bible to prove anything. I think it appears in some Hebrew holy books but am not sure. It is also described in detail in Milton's Paradise Lost, which I haven't read.
In Tolkien's paraphrase of Satan's fall, it occurs before the Creation of the Universe, when God is surrounded by his angels in heaven.

There Bible gives little detail about this...but a rebellion occured in Heavan with the Angel Lucifer leading some Angels against other Angels loyal to God led by Micheal. Lucifer had been the most powerful Angel and his pride had made him challenge God - maybe because God's plan had a human to be his only Son. Lucifer loses and he and his supporters are cast out of Heaven and into Hell. Obviously some Creation has occured for this to happen - but not the Creation of Earth. Lucifer still batles God's Angels with the hope of gaining complete controll of Heavan - the Crucifixion was his ultimate defeat however. It is just a matter of time that all his power will be destroyed. Praise God.
