Infinately North-South, East-West

[rush transcript] -

Satan desperately wanted to ascend (North) into heaven and have his throne on the sides of the North;

But Jesus witnessed him "fall [south] like lightning."

Quite possibly this happened in the garden, just after the creation of Adam, the object of his jealousy;

Though he still had limited access to heaven (see Job), because the literal blood had not yet been presented yet, he would eventually be confined (further South), to earth. Some of his armies had already been chained further south, below the earth in Tartarus, but he remained free for a time. 

When Jesus came "from above", He entered Jerusalem and left it, through the East gate, which David used, and which He will use when His feet touch down on the Mount of Olives in the East, and it splits from North to Souh.

He was arrested in the East (Gethsemane), came back through the East gate, and was to take our sins, "as far as the East is from the West", in an infinite sense, when He was crusified for them at Calvary, in the North. 

Sheol was on the South side. 

Motivated by the "depths of His love", through absolute identification with fallen sinners, He then "decended into the lowest parts of the earth" (South), into hell, in order to rescue and "lead captivity captive" from one Kingdom (below) into another kingdom (above), by raising us up and made us to "sit above" in "heavenly places" (North), 

After the millenial reign, Satan will be cast down further, not just South, but to the "bottomless pit", (infinately further and further South forever). As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His thougs and ways higher than our thoughts and ways!
