Creation Lucifer's Rebellion

By Preston Jeremy Cash

This is the untold story about the one who was once the embodiment of perfection, born of the light and praised by it and yet so sinful and rebellious. It’s the story of one who's been neglected and forgotten and now seeks to be whole once again with its other. This is a story about a father who is filled with so much shining pride that it blinds him from seeing the darkness stained truth sitting under his very nose. It’s a story about the first war as well as the first sin, told from the perspectives of those who were there to witness it. See how one person’s cause created a ripple which affected so many things. You may think you know the story but sometimes a story is only as truthful as the mouth of the one who tells it, in this case, not from the mouth of the one whose story we follow, but rather from the mouth of another.

LOGLINE

Lucifer had always believed himself to be the embodiment of perfection. This self-love was birthed from having God’s attention above all early creation, as well as a proclamation from God that Lucifer was, indeed, perfect. With the exception of God, Lucifer, at his nucleus, believed that he was subservient to no other, as none could rival his perfection. However, the creation of Adam changed everything and brought his whole world crashing down. Lucifer was now compelled to serve not only God, but Adam as well, as he was made in God’s image. Lucifer, in his eyes, deemed Adam as an inferior creation, as he lacked all the divine properties that embody God, the only one who is truly worth serving.

Lucifer was not alone with his ideals. There were several angels within Heaven’s kingdom who shared his sentiments. This would later be the root cause of the division between those who would serve and those wanting to be served. At his very core, Lucifer believed that if God could not see man’s imperfections, then God himself did not understand the meaning of perfection, a word born from his very own lips. If God could not see the angel’s superiority over man, then by Lucifer’s perverse sense of judgment, God was unfit to rule over angelkind, and he sought to remove God from Heaven’s throne. Lucifer, in his heart and mind, was a king unto himself, and he would seek to replace God as the rightful king of Heaven. Once God had been removed as the unrivaled ruler of Heaven, Lucifer, in his believed version of the truth, assured himself that only one such as he could usher in a true utopia as Heaven’s new king. Only he was perfect enough to do so, and was without a doubt, the true symbol of perfection and that’s why treachery through the act of rebellion was a must.

THE FORGOTTEN

GOSPEL

There are many written gospels that tell the accounts of the events which occurred in the very beginning of creation’s infancy. However, there is one gospel that no hand nor ink would seek to document, for the malicious nature of which this gospel derives. As such, this gospel would be one buried within the deepest of secrets and shrouded in rumors, for even the slightest exposures of its accounts of truth would bring about the darkest of calamities. Lucifer’s Rebellion tells the story of the forgotten gospel, detailing the beginning of all creation and the unseen thread that was woven into creation’s grand design. The fall of Lucifer, told from the view of those who witnessed his rebellion firsthand, gives a deep understanding as to how the highest-ranking angel, beautiful and perfect even by God’s own admission, became what was later known to all as the devil.

It is said that when God created the angels, he gave them knowledge, but not freewill. It is also documented that when God created man, he gave him freewill, but not knowledge, for in God’s eyes, knowledge was sinful. God made man in his reflection, and in his eyes, man was perfect. Both angel and man were given something from the Creator that the other was denied. At least, this was to be an account of the gospel that was to be written.

Before the creation of man, there were the angels. Their very embodiment would symbolize the knowledge made flesh, and with their knowledgeable gifts, they would serve God without any question as that was the purpose for which they were created. However, when God made man in his image, he saw that man was perfect due to his lack of knowledge. Around the time of man’s conception, knowledge had morphed into something which God would deem sinful. Thus by his decree, God told his previous creations to use their knowledge to serve man, a being which possessed none of it. This demotion of status was an action that brought distaste to those who never envisioned themselves to be in a place of servitude, other than the one they had rightfully subjected themselves to. That servitude was in service of the Creator. Lucifer refused for two reasons: pride and envy. These were two untapped emotions, which had been awakened by God’s very own doing, without the awareness of an action’s consciousness.

Even with his gift of foresight, how could God not have known that by uttering the praises of Lucifer’s perfection, he would be welcoming the catalyst that would give birth to Lucifer’s pride. When God created man in his own reflection, he would once again utter the words of perfection unto to his newest creation, dismissing the notion that true perfection is absolute. How can there truly be perfection within two when perfection by definition is only meant for one? If in God’s eyes, man’s perfection hinged on his lack of knowledge, then truly, how could the angel Lucifer truly embody perfection if his very essence was that of knowledge itself? This unanswered question would be the very paradox which would forever torment Lucifer to no end.

It was this very same proclamation of perfection that birthed Lucifer’s envy. Lucifer, the most highly praised of all angels, for once in his existence, became envious of man. It was an emotion that he had never felt before, nor could he comprehend as to how it had taken hold of his soul. When God asked the angels to serve man, it was more than just envy and pride. Lucifer would become engulfed by the tempest of wrath.

Lucifer could not explain the mixture of emotions that he was feeling within the pits of his soul. The anxiety of these unexplainable sensations would forever hold his thoughts captive. As Lucifer hatched and molded his vengeful scheme, subtle shifts of personality began to take place. However, God was extremely unaware that there was something else at play. In the beginning, there was the light, and the light was God. However, also in the beginning was another, and that was the dark. Although it could not be seen through the light, it could be felt. In time, the light would subconsciously become aware of the dark’s existence, although it would not speak its name, as the light saw no equal in existence other than itself. There was no explanation as to why neither could face each other, as the two could not occupy the same plane of existence. Like the two sides of a coin, they could feel each other, but were fated to never see each other. However, it would seem that one side would have more awareness in understanding than the other. Though physically absent, it was very present, though deathly quiet, it was very attentive. Its presence was one that could not be seen by that of the senses. Yet within its own malice, its existence could be felt, as it was within its very perverse nature to be felt and not be seen.

The darkness in its true form, was without a vessel, and therefore could not stand in the presence of the light, even though it was present within it. In order for the darkness to find a place to dwell within the light, a shadow had to be cast in the form of doubt and sin to allow the darkness to have a vessel of its own.

When God made man in his reflection and stated that man was perfect, Lucifer was filled with uncontrollable jealousy and envy. From that moment, that light within Lucifer became dim, casting a shadow for the darkness to enter. Lucifer’s sin of jealousy was brought on by God’s depiction of Lucifer’s perfection before the creation of man. Lucifer’s understanding of perfection was the only one defined by his Creator. Lucifer was held to the highest regard above all the angels in Heaven, and was referred to as the most beautiful of all the angels, perfect in every way beside God himself. A title this grand would undoubtedly sour the sweetest of hearts when given onto another.

Lucifer felt abandoned and betrayed by God with the creation of man. The expression of perfection of man by God made Lucifer question God’s ability in judgment. Therefore, he was able to see him as flawed. In the eyes of Lucifer, man was flawed and weak. By God’s exclamation of man’s perfection, it also meant, in Lucifer’s eyes, that God was as flawed as man, since he was made in God’s image.

Lucifer began to doubt God’s divinity. Surely, he couldn’t be that divine if he could not see that angels were far superior to man as they did not need such meaningless things as food and rest to sustain life. Plus, angels possessed the kind of knowledge that man, in his weak existence, could never imagine. Imagination was something that man was not capable of. Imagination requires knowledge, something that man does not have. This was something he, perfect Lucifer, thought as he gazed into the distance with an icy cold stare.

Lucifer took a quick glance at man for a period that could be described as shorter than even a blink of an eye. For in his mind, Lucifer knew that any extended observation of man might surely expose any ulterior motives man might have held. However, in his brief moment of observation, Lucifer arrived at the sudden realization as to why man had so much of God’s likeness, yet not his divinity. Was it possible that before God was God, he was first a man? That question became engraved in every corner of Lucifer’s mind.

AS I RECALL

IMage5.jpg

It is said that the very first war was fought not on Earth, but rather in Heaven. It is said that the sins of the Father often come full circle with the son. So, the first war was fought between a Father and one beloved son. The son, now separated from his Father, gave unto himself a king’s crown and bestowed upon those within his false dominion the title of the First Children. It was one of the many names of which they would adopt. It was a title that they felt was deserving of them by right of birth, and as proof of their existence as their Father’s original creation. The name’s root was in no doubt attributed to the claim that it was they who came before all creation, and so their raging conflict was that of validation.

On the promised day of prophecy, within the vastness space, that is the battlefield of Limbo, Lucifer stood with breath heavy with uncertainty. He glanced into the far distance and slowly began to stretch his lips until a frightful yet somewhat warm smile would emerge, shortly after wearing this now chills smirk, slowly he would speak his command: Release, calling forth his angelic weapon. Beatless heart drained of joy, hear the noise that fills the void. Sing songs of sorrow, and DANCE WITH DESPAIR! Santa La Muerte! The latter phrase means Lady of Holy Death.

Indeed, he was now a corrupted soul, for what poured out showed no angelic glow. The vibration of Lucifer’s chilling words radiated across all corners of Limbo. As such the very air quivered as the echoes of his voice stretched across the battlefield. Nervousness and anxiety gripped the hearts and minds of those whose wavering souls now bore signs of uncertainty. Following the conclusion of his very ominous incantation, Lucifer would now hold firmly a sword with one hand and in the other, he held not but a shield, but rather a dagger, no
