He rebelled against God but this rebellion is not specifically explained in the Bible. This is shown today by the evil that persists.

Satan wanted to be like God, not under God’s rule. He rebelled and took a third of the angels with him in this rebellion, was cast to earth, hates mankind because we are made in God’s image and likeness, and so seeks to destroy mankind through deception.

Satan rebelled against God, his Creator. He wanted to be God and thus he is now trying to fulfill this role on earth though through his perverted perspective.

Because of his pride in wanting all things to worship him, God cast him out of his position as archangel and made him Satan or the fallen angel. His current job is to seduce, sue, deceive… people living in the world.
