"There was war in heaven… material life is in jeopardy in material combat, but the war in heaven was fought in terms of life eternal."

The Lucifer Rebellion, listed as Paper 53 in The Urantia Book, originated in the system of Satania under the jurisdiction of Christ Michael, the Creator Son of Nebadon, also known as Jesus. Lucifer proposed his manifesto about two hundred thousand years ago, Urantia time. He directly attacked the reality of the Universal Father, the universe government of Michael, and the mortal ascension plan. These proposals were ushered on Urantia by his associate Caligastia who was then the Planetary Prince of the realm and the head of its human affairs. Urantia in its infancy of human development faced the great blunder of betrayal by its head administrator. Of Lucifer it was written:

"How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cast down, you who dared to confuse the worlds!"

And confusing it was on Urantia when its apostate prince joined Lucifer and interrupted Urantia’s evolution with the disorder of rebellion. Urantia was one of 37 worlds in Satania whose Planetary Prince enlisted under the Lucifer banner. Panoptia, also within Satania, was the exception to this; its Planetary Prince failed to gain the support of the people of the planet. The loyal Ellanora, a young woman of the mortal realm, grasped the leadership of the Panoptians

"… and not a single soul on that strife-torn world enlisted under the Lucifer banner."

On Urantia, Van the Steadfast of the Caligastia One Hundred stood for the rule of Michael, the will of the Universal Father, and did not follow his supervisors into rebellion. He along with Amadon, a native of Urantia, sustained order and administered the affairs of Urantia with the help of the Melchizedek receivers until the arrival of a Material Son and Daughter.

"Van utilized both mind and spirit in a magnificent and effective combination of intellectual determination and spiritual insight, thereby achieving an experiential level of personality realization of the highest attainable order."

Van’s sagacity of personality prerogative was complemented by the unswerving devotion of his human associate, the impregnable Amadon. This human hero of the rebellion inspired all subordinate celestial life on Nebadon, who without extensive personal experience or education in related situations, chose to abide by his creator-father. Concerning the Satania rebellion these celestial personalities declare: "What of Amadon of Urantia, does he still stand unmoved? If the Lucifer rebellion has handicapped the local system and its fallen worlds, if the loss of this son and his misled associates has temporarily hampered the progress of the constellation of Norlatiadek, then weigh the effect of the far-flung presentation of the inspiring performance of this one child of nature and his determined band of 143 comrades in standing steadfast for the higher concepts of universe management and administration in the face of such tremendous and adverse pressure exerted by his disloyal superiors. And let me assure you, this has already done more good in the universe of Nebadon and the superuniverse of Orvonton than can ever be outweighed by the sum total of all the evil and sorrow of the Lucifer rebellion." Despite Urantia’s dark history involving the betrayal of its first Planetary Prince, the default of the Material Son and Daughter subsequently assigned, and the crucifixion of its Creator Son, Jesus Christ Michael about 2,000 years ago, Urantia awaits a glorious future as it cradles from its bosom mighty souls who charge for its defense and join to usher it into “The first stage of light and life.” (The Urantia Book, Paper 55, “Spheres of Light and Life,” page 627)
