Pride is what made him rebel, and yes he knows he's defeated.
I always had the thought that entering Heaven we would lose all..
Emotions like Pride,Lust,Envy,etc and become Pure.

"Hey satan, have you considered my servant Job...?"
God started it, and He finished it.
You see! I knew it! I keep telling folks God started the Job drama. He authored the whole darn thing which resulted in Job being a pawn in a game of chess, boils, dead children and old fart of a wife and all.
