When Did Satan Fall?

Yesterday we learned that angels were probably created on day one of creation week. Now, we know Satan is a fallen angel. But when did his sinful pride get him cast to earth? The Bible doesn’t tell us, but it does give a few clues.
At the end of creation week, God pronounced everything he’d made “very good.” Since everything was very good, this must’ve included the angels—even the ones that would eventually rebel. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. So it’s very unlikely Satan rebelled on that day.
From all of this, I believe Satan’s fall probably happened sometime after the end of creation week. But again, we can’t know for sure.
