The Fall of Lucifer
Please read Ezekiel 28;13-17 & Isaiah 14;12-14 KJV. Before beginning this study.
Lucifer in heaven, before his rebellion, was a high and exalted angel, next in honor to God’s dear Son.*His countenance, like those of the other angels, was mild and expressive of happiness.*His forehead was high and broad, showing a powerful intellect.*His form was perfect; his bearing noble and majestic.A special light beamed in his countenance and shone around him brighter and more beautiful than around the other angels; yet Christ, God’s dear Son, had the pre-eminence over all the angelic host.*He was one with the Father before the angels were created.*Lucifer was envious of Christ, and gradually assumed command which devolved on Christ alone.*SR 13.1
The great Creator assembled the heavenly host, that He might in the presence of all the angels confer special honor upon His Son.*The Son was seated on the throne with the Father, and the heavenly throng of holy angels was gathered around them.*The Father then made known that it was ordained by Himself that Christ, His Son, should be equal with Himself; so that wherever was the presence of His Son, it was as His own presence.*The word of the Son was to be obeyed as readily as the word of the Father.*His Son He had invested with authority to command the heavenly host.*Especially was His Son to work in union with Himself in the anticipated creation of the earth and every living thing that should exist upon the earth.*His Son would carry out His will and His purposes but would do nothing of Himself alone.*The Father’s will would be fulfilled in Him.*SR 13.2
Lucifer was envious and jealous of Jesus Christ.*Yet when all the angels bowed to Jesus to acknowledge His supremacy and high authority and rightful rule, he bowed with them; but his heart was filled with envy and hatred.*Christ had been taken into the special counsel of God in regard to His plans, while Lucifer was unacquainted with them.*He did not understand, neither was he permitted to know, the purposes of God.*But Christ was acknowledged sovereign of heaven, His power and authority to be the same as that of God Himself.*Lucifer thought that he was himself a favorite in heaven among the angels.*He had been highly exalted, but this did not call forth from him gratitude and praise to his Creator.*He aspired to the height of God Himself.*He gloried in his loftiness.He knew that he was honored by the angels.*He had a special mission to execute.*He had been near the great Creator, and the ceaseless beams of glorious light enshrouding the eternal God had shone especially upon him.*He thought how angels had obeyed his command with pleasurable alacrity.Were not his garments light and beautiful?*Why should Christ thus be honored before himself?*SR 14.1
He left the immediate presence of the Father, dissatisfied and filled with envy against Jesus Christ.*Concealing his real purposes, he assembled the angelic host.*He introduced his subject, which was himself.*As one aggrieved, he related the preference God had given Jesus to the neglect of himself.*He told them that henceforth all the sweet liberty the angels had enjoyed was at an end.*For had not a ruler been appointed over them, to whom they from henceforth must yield servile honor?*He stated to them that he had called them together to assure them that he no longer would submit to this invasion of his rights and theirs; that never would he again bow down to Christ; that he would take the honor upon himself which should have been conferred upon him, and would be the commander of all who would submit to follow him and obey his voice.*SR 14.2
There was contention among the angels.*Lucifer and his sympathizers were striving to reform the government of God.*They were discontented and unhappy because they could not look into His unsearchable wisdom and ascertain His purposes in exalting His Son, and endowing Him with such unlimited power and command.*They rebelled against the authority of the Son.*SR 15.1
Angels that were loyal and true sought to reconcile this mighty, rebellious angel to the will of his Creator.*They justified the act of God in conferring honor upon Christ, and with forcible reasoning sought to convince Lucifer that no less honor was his now than before the Father had proclaimed the honor which He had conferred upon His Son.*They clearly set forth that Christ was the Son of God, existing with Him before the angels were created; and that He had ever stood at the right hand of God, and His mild, loving authority had not heretofore been questioned; and that He had given no commands but what it was joy for the heavenly host to execute.*They urged that Christ’s receiving special honor from the Father, in the presence of the angels, did not detract from the honor that Lucifer had heretofore received.The angels wept.*They anxiously sought to move him to renounce his wicked design and yield submission to their Creator; for all had heretofore been peace and harmony, and what could occasion this dissenting, rebellious voice?*SR 15.2
Discussion Question:
1) With whom did Satan really have a problem with? Jesus Christ or the Father?
2) "Lucifer was envious of Christ, and gradually assumed command which devolved on Christ alone.Lucifer was envious and jealous of Jesus Christ.*Yet when all the angels bowed to Jesus to acknowledge His supremacy and high authority and rightful rule, he bowed with them; but his heart was filled with envy and hatred." What are the two laws out of the ten,did he break*according to the scriptures that lead to his fall?*
3) How does the fall of Lucifer should change view attitude towards God's Law?
