I agree with that. We’re all “dirt people” to him and beneath his type of being.

Genesis 2:7
“Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

Somebody, I can’t remember who, had a theory that the real war in Heaven was waged after Adam & Eve were created and God told his Angels that they were to serve us and help us.

I do think though it was before God created humans, that the war in the Heavens got started when the enemy said he would not serve God and this included those angels who sided with the enemy as well.

Ha, that was pretty much the plot behind that Christopher Walken movie “The Prophesy”. There was a 2nd war in Heaven which was basically a war against mankind being elevated by God above the angels. But Lucifer by that time had already fallen from God’s grace in the 1st war.

From what I understand it was a spiritual war in which some angels wanted to be like God themselves instead of serving God. They wanted to be worshipped like gods, having autonomous power. Something like that. And that is considered the first sin, committed by the now-fallen angels. Pride in one’s self.

I think it has more to do with the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, true man and true God. Thus a man, Jesus Christ, second person of the Holy Trinity would be ruling over the angels.
