Call it into being

Ezek.28:17, says that God would ” … cast thee to the ground..” Luke 10:18, says “… beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

But actually Satan had not fallen yet. We must understand that God sees things as already past tense, or in one place it says speaking of God “..calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Take for instance John 20:22, which says “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, receive ye the Holy Ghost:” This was prophetic of the coming of the Holy Spirit that came as a rushing mighty wind on the day of Pentecost. They couldn’t receive the Spirit of Christ until he went back into heaven. He called it into being!

Jesus saying I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven was prophetic of what would happened after the cross. So, Satan’s fall actually would be fulfilled by Jesus’ death on the cross because Jesus spoiled principalities and powers through his death.
