I dont think you will find verses to support the idea that Lucifer wanted to overthrow God but you will find verses that he wanted to be like God. Words like "rebellion appear in bible passages but i don't think it is the right reading to say that Lucifer thought he could prevail in a war.


The story of Adam and Eve is actually built on the same theme and uses some of the same words.  Adam and Eve were guilty of trying to be like God when they thought that they knew better than God what fruit was good to eat and when to eat it. Then in their sinful state they were described as being in rebellion against God. Despite the fact that they (and us) thought they could do that which only God can do and were in rebellion no one thinks that in a war they would defeat God.
