When in Biblical chronology was Satan cast down?
Satan was not yet cast out in the Book of Job, yet Job was a civilized man, presumably living in an historical period.
So the expulsion of Satan occurred during recorded history?
What about his role in the Garden of Eden? That was before Satan was cast down?

You do not understand things at all. Satan was long cast down well before any events of the Bible where humans are involved. Satan revolted around 5 million B. C. The book of Job is a morality play, and not to be taken literally.

you are mistaken
Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
he had been cast to the earth by that time
apparently he had been cast down to earth in Eden as he was the serpent there
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
actually some detail is necessary:
Satan had been cast out sometime shortly after Earth was created
Then much later, he assaulted heaven trying to regain entry as described in Revelation here
Rev 12:7 ¶ And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
This occurred sometime shortly preceding the dark ages of mankind's history

Of course he had fallen before Job. Job is a descendant of Adam. I believe that when you read the third chapter of Genesis where Adam fell, you are witnessing this happen just moments after the fall of satan.
Not only had satan fallen by the time Job had come along, but he had plenty of practice corrupting people.
What is it about the Book of Job that makes you believe that all of the people in it were perfect and without sin? How could that be, if we are all born in sin because of the fall of Adam?

Revelation 12:7 the story starts and it was suppose to happen in the last days. So it would have to be some time in our life time. So why everything today is so messed up.
