Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is as old as God and Heaven themselves: they are timeless. They always were and always will be; there was no birth of either God or Satan and there will be no death of either, either. =) Satan used to be an angel-- one of the closest to God himself, and this angel was named Lucifer. Lucifer tried to rebel against God, questioning why God alone was superior to the rest, and as punishment God exiled Lucifer and all those who followed him from Heaven. Thus, the reign on Earth of Satan and his demons began.

SteveSatan was an angel ( Lucifer) before he was satan, but God kicked him out of heaven when he became too proud f his position and thought that he could overthrow God. It can, therefore, be assumed that Satan has existed forever just like God and the other angels. But, unlike God, Satan will not live forever. Does that answer ayour qustion, or did i totally confuse you?
