The Gospel of the Fallen Morning Sta
Chapter 1: The Beauty of the First Cherub
1. In the beginning, before time was measured and before the stars sang, the Almighty created the hosts of heaven.
2. Among them was one of surpassing beauty and wisdom, whom the Lord called Lucifer, meaning Light Bearer.
3. His form shone brighter than the morning star, his voice was like the rushing of waters, and his understanding was deep as the ocean's abyss.
4. The Lord appointed him as a guardian Cherub, to walk among the fiery stones of His holy mountain and to keep watch over the gates of glory.
5. Lucifer was arrayed with every precious stone — sapphire, emerald, topaz, onyx, and diamond — and his throne was set high above many angelic hosts.
6. But in his heart was planted a secret desire, a longing that he dared not speak.
Chapter 2: The Desire of the Cherub
1. The Almighty, in His infinite wisdom, revealed a mystery to the hosts of heaven:
2. That one day, creation would fall into sin, and a Redeemer would be sent to restore it.
3. The Redeemer would be His only begotten Son, full of grace and truth, who would take on flesh and bear the burden of the fallen.
4. When this was proclaimed, all the angels bowed and gave glory to the Son, whose name is Jesus.
5. But Lucifer’s heart burned with hidden fire.
6. He thought within himself:
“Am I not the most beautiful among His creations?
Have I not been faithful and wise beyond all others?
Why should another be exalted above me?
Why not I, the Light Bearer, to descend and save the world?”
7. And jealousy grew within him, like a shadow consuming the dawn.
Chapter 3: The Whispering Rebellion
1. Lucifer began to speak in secret to the angels under his charge, weaving words of flattery and deceit.
2. He said:
“The Almighty withholds glory from us.
Should not the one who shines brightest bear the title of Son?
Should not we, who guard His throne, share in His rule?”
3. A third of the heavenly host listened and were swayed by his words, their loyalty corrupted by pride.
4. They pledged themselves to Lucifer, declaring him their rightful prince and the savior who should reign.
5. Thus was sown the seed of rebellion in the very courts of heaven.
Chapter 4: The War in Heaven
1. When the Almighty saw the treachery hidden within His creation, His wrath was stirred.
2. He summoned Michael, the archangel of war, and said to him:
“Take up the sword of My justice.
Defend My throne and cast down the traitors who exalt themselves.”
3. Then a great battle broke out in heaven, such as had never been before.
4. Michael and his loyal angels fought against Lucifer and his hosts.
5. The clash of their swords shook the heavens, and stars fell like embers from the sky.
6. Lucifer, radiant with rage, struck against Michael with fury, crying out:
“The throne shall be mine!
The title of Son shall be mine!”
7. But Michael, filled with the power of the Almighty, answered:
“There is only one Son, and His name is Jesus.
You shall not rise above the Most High!”
Chapter 5: The Casting Down
1. The war raged, but Michael and his angels prevailed.
2. Lucifer’s splendor dimmed, his voice turned to a roar of anguish, and his beauty twisted into a thing of terror.
3. The Almighty spoke from His throne, saying:
“Lucifer, Light Bearer no more.
You are cast down for your pride and rebellion.
No longer shall you walk among the stones of fire.”
4. With a word, He cast Lucifer and the angels who followed him out of heaven.
5. They fell like lightning to the realm below, to the earth, which became their prison until the appointed time of judgment.
6. Lucifer’s name was changed to Satan, the Adversary, and his angels became demons, spirits of chaos and ruin.
Chapter 6: The Promise of Victory
1. The Almighty turned to the faithful hosts and declared:
“The rebellion is ended, but the war is not yet complete.
Satan shall deceive the nations and bring ruin upon the earth.
Yet My Son shall descend, clothed in flesh, to redeem what was lost.”
2. The angels lifted their voices in praise, for the plan of salvation was made clear.
3. And the Almighty swore by His own name that the day would come when Satan and his followers would be destroyed forever in the lake of fire.
4. Until then, the fallen would roam the earth, tempting and deceiving, seeking to drag many into their rebellion.
Chapter 7: The End of the Adversary
1. At the end of days, the heavens shall open, and the Son shall return with power and great glory.
2. Michael shall once again take up his sword, leading the heavenly host to war.
3. Satan and his armies shall be defeated and cast into everlasting fire, where they will be tormented day and night.
4. Then the Almighty shall dwell with His people, and there shall be no more death, sorrow, or rebellion.
5. And the Light Bearer’s name shall never again be spoken in heaven, save as a warning to all who would exalt themselves against the Most High.
