Chapter 1: The Glory of the Light Bearer
1. In the timeless halls of eternity, before the foundations of the earth were laid, the Almighty dwelt in unapproachable light.
2. Around His throne burned seven flames of eternal fire, and countless angels ministered to Him in perfect harmony.
3. Among these holy ones was one of surpassing splendor, named Lucifer, the Light Bearer, the Guardian Cherub.
4. His beauty surpassed the dawn, his form arrayed with every precious stone: sapphire, emerald, topaz, ruby, and zirconia
5. Wisdom was woven into his being, and the music of creation flowed through his voice.
6. To him the Almighty entrusted many thrones and realms of authority, and he walked upon the stones of fire nearest the Throne of Glory.
7. No created being shone as brightly as he, and his radiance was as a mirror reflecting the glory of the Most High.
8. Yet even in the heart nearest to God, a shadow may grow unnoticed.
Chapter 2: The Mystery Revealed
1. In the fullness of time, the Almighty gathered His heavenly council and declared a mystery hidden since before the dawn of ages.
2. He spoke, and His voice was like the sound of many waters:
“Behold, I shall create a world beneath the heavens, filled with life and breath.
I shall form man in Our image, to walk with Us in fellowship and love.
Yet I foretell that man shall fall into darkness through disobedience, and death shall reign among them.”
3. The angels bowed low in awe, their wings trembling at the depth of this plan.
4. Then the Almighty continued:
“To redeem them, I shall send My only begotten Son, clothed in mortal flesh.
He shall bear their sin and conquer death by His own blood, that creation may be restored.”
5. At this proclamation, the heavens shook with joy.
6. The angelic host lifted their voices, crying, “Holy! Holy! Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who brings salvation to His creation!”
7. All bowed in worship — all save one.
8. For within Lucifer’s heart stirred a thought unspoken, a fire of desire and jealousy.
Chapter 3: The Secret Longing
1. Lucifer withdrew from the presence of the Most High, his mind consumed with turmoil.
2. Alone among the gardens of the holy mountain, he spoke within himself:
“Am I not the most glorious of His creation?
Have I not served faithfully at His side since the dawn of eternity?
Why should another be exalted above me?
Why should the Son — unseen, untested — descend to save the world, while I remain a servant?”
3. His longing deepened into ambition, and ambition into pride.
4. Lucifer began to imagine a throne beside the Almighty — or even above it.
5. He said in his heart:
“If I were the Redeemer, all would bow to me.
I would bring creation to perfection under my rule.
I would not share my glory with another.”
6. Thus pride, like a seed, took root in his spirit and began to bear the fruit of rebellion.
Chapter 4: The Whispering of Deceit
1. Lucifer did not act openly at first, but moved with subtlety among the ranks of angels.
2. To those nearest him he spoke soft words, cloaking rebellion in the guise of reason.
3. To Seraphiel, a commander of a thousand hosts, he said:
“Brother, does it seem just that the Son alone bears the title of Redeemer, while we, who have labored since before the stars, are not given such honor?”
4. Seraphiel hesitated and answered, “The will of the Almighty is perfect, Lucifer. Who are we to question it?”
5. Lucifer smiled and replied,
“So we are told. Yet what if His plan is flawed?
What if there is a better way — a way through me?”
6. One by one, he drew others to his cause, appealing to their desire for greatness.
7. Soon a third of the heavenly host pledged themselves to him, declaring him their rightful prince.
8. Their voices, once raised in praise to the Almighty, now murmured rebellion in secret halls.
Chapter 5: The Confrontation
1. The Almighty, whose gaze pierces all things, beheld Lucifer’s treachery and was grieved.
2. He summoned Michael, His archangel of war, and said:
“Michael, the Light Bearer has corrupted a third of My host with his pride.
Arm yourself and prepare the faithful, for war shall break forth in heaven.”
3. Michael bowed and answered, “Your will is my sword, O Lord. I shall not falter.”
4. Then the Almighty called Lucifer into His presence, and His glory filled the throne room like a storm.
5. The Most High spoke with thunder:
“Lucifer, son of the dawn, what is this I hear?
Have you set yourself against Me?
Have you desired the throne that belongs to My Son alone?”
6. Lucifer lifted his head proudly, no longer bowing.
7. His voice rang like a trumpet:
“I have desired only what is rightfully mine!
Why should Your Son, unseen and unproven, claim the title of Redeemer?
I am the brightest of Your creation, the most faithful, the most worthy!
Give to me the throne, and I will bring salvation to the world.”
8. The Almighty’s face blazed with holy fire.
“You speak in arrogance and blindness.
None may take the place of My Son, for His nature is Mine and His throne eternal.”
9. Lucifer’s countenance twisted with rage.
“Then I shall rise above Your throne, Most High!
I shall be as God!
If You will not give me the glory I deserve, I shall seize it by force!”
10. With that, he turned and departed to gather his armies for war.
Chapter 6: The War in Heaven
1. And war broke out in heaven, a war unlike any before or after.
2. Michael and his faithful angels arrayed themselves in shining armor, their swords like burning stars.
3. Lucifer’s host rose against them, dark and terrible, their banners proclaiming their rebellion.
4. The clash shook the very foundations of heaven.
5. Lightning split the skies as angel fought angel, and the songs of praise were drowned by the roar of battle.
6. Michael lifted his voice in the midst of the conflict:
“Stand firm, O faithful! For the throne of the Almighty cannot be overthrown!”
7. Lucifer, with wrath and fury, descended upon Michael, crying:
“The throne shall be mine! The name of the Son shall be mine!”
8. Their swords met, and the heavens trembled.
9. For a moment, darkness seemed to prevail, and many feared the Light would fall.
10. But the Almighty poured His strength into Michael, and with a mighty strike, he cast Lucifer down.
11. Then Michael cried aloud:
“By the decree of the Most High, you are defeated, O traitor! Never shall you return to this
holy place!”
Chapter 7: The Casting Down
1. The Almighty spoke, and His word was final:
“Lucifer, Light Bearer no more, you are cast out for your pride and rebellion.
You shall be called Satan, the Adversary.
Your kingdom shall be the earth below, and there you shall wander until the day of judgment.”
2. A great wind arose, and Lucifer and his fallen host were hurled down like lightning.
3. They fell to the earth, their cries echoing through the void, their wings scorched and broken.
4. The once-bright Morning Star was now clothed in darkness, his glory turned to ashes.
Chapter 8: The Promise of the Son
1. When the heavens were stilled, the Almighty spoke to His faithful host:
“The war is ended, but the battle is not over.
Satan shall deceive the nations and spread ruin upon the earth.
Yet My Son shall descend in the fullness of time to redeem creation.”
2. The angels bowed and worshiped, singing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and glory forever!”
3. Thus the plan of salvation was sealed, and the throne of the Most High remained unshaken.
4. And all the faithful knew that the day would come when Satan and his followers would be destroyed forever in the lake of fire.
