Scripture:- Isaiah 14:1-24
Topic:- How God Created Lucifer [3]
Text:- 14:12
Seeing that the propitious moment for the propagation of his theory had arrived, Lucifer summoned the Angels for a special meeting.
The hosts, eager to know the meaning of the Father’s silence, took their places next to the magnificent Angel, who had always revealed to them the treasures of the kingdom of light.
Lucifer began his speech by exalting, as usual, the government of the Eternal. In a broad retrospective, he reminded them of the great revelations that had enriched them throughout that eternity.
The divine silence presented him as being the indication that the Universe had reached the fullness of knowledge that came from the light.
Silently, the Eternal paved the way for the understanding of mysteries not yet dreamed, kept until then beyond the limits of His government.
Surprised, the hosts learned of Lucifer’s experience of darkness. With eloquence, he told them about the science of good and evil, indicating it as the path of greatest realizations.
The effect of his words was soon felt throughout the Universe. The question was decisive and explosive, generating discord for the first time.
Rational beings, in their test, would have to choose to remain only with the knowledge of the light, which Lucifer claimed to have reached his limit, or venture into the knowledge of the science of good and evil.
In the beginning, the Angels debated at the question, then afterwards the entire Universe put to the test. It seemed that the science of good and evil was to take away most of the creatures, however, little by little, many who at first got soaked with the theory, woke up from the illusion of it, reaffirming their fidelity to the kingdom of the light.
At the end of that conflict, which dragged on for a long time, a third of the stars in the sky were revealed next to Lucifer, and the rest, although shocked by the test next to the Eternal.
The science of good and evil was proclaimed by Lucifer as a new system of government. But how to exercise it, if the Eternal continued to reign in Zion? They needed to find a way to get him out of there.
The council, formed by the rebel Angels, began to deal with that. They decided, finally, to request the throne for a certain time, in which they could demonstrate the excellence of the new system of government.
In case it was approved by the Universe, the new system would be established forever; otherwise, the domain would return to the Creator.
Thus, Lucifer, accompanied by his hosts, approached arrogantly before that suffering Father, making such a request. The Eternal was not ambitious, he only wanted good for His creatures.
If the science of good and evil really consisted of a greater good, it would not oppose its implantation, yielding the throne to its defenders.
More He knew that this path would lead to unhappiness and death. Moved by His protective love, the Creator disregarded the request of the rebel hosts, who turned away enraged.
When the throne was denied, Lucifer and his hosts began to accuse the divine King, claiming to be his government of tyranny. They claimed to be his permanence on the throne the most obvious demonstration of His arbitrariness.
Hadn’t he granted them freedom to choose? Why neutralize it now, preventing them from implementing a superior government system?
The accusations of the rebel hosts reverberated throughout the Universe, making it appear that the Eternal’s government was unfair. This brought deep distress to those who remained faithful to the kingdom of light.
Prayer Point:- I refuse to follow the advice of Satan, no, never in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Mid-Week!
