Lucifer
 
Way, way back, before this world or anything else was, God made a being called Lucifer. He was the first and most beautiful being that was ever created. Every precious stone was his covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. He also had musical instruments built into his body and became the leader of the choir in heaven.

One of his jobs in heaven was to be the covering cherub or angel. This means he stood between God and the other angels protecting them from God's brightness and goodness. This is the highest position any created being could hold.

But, Lucifer was not satisfied with this. He wanted more. He wanted the other angels not only to look up to him as the highest angel, but to actually worship him. This was against God's law, for God who created all things is due all worship and Him only.

One day Lucifer overheard the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit planning to create a fabulous, new world. One like which they had never created before. It was to be the most beautiful world, containing the most beautiful plants, animals, birds, and beings God had ever created in one place. Lucifer wanted to be involved in this planning, but as he was excluded he became more jealous of God. He planned to set himself up as a god. He went about all the heavenly hosts planting seeds of doubt in all the angels' minds as to whether God was really just, and loving. Lucifer also said that he should be worshiped, just like God.

Not all the angels believed his lies nor thought that he should be worshipped like God. But one out of every three did believe Lucifer. This saddened God very much, but he could not let such rebellion exist in heaven. So there was a war in heaven. Michael, God the Son, and His angels fought against Lucifer and all the angels that thought he was right. Michael won the battle and Lucifer that old serpent called the Devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world, he was thrown out of heaven to this earth and his angels with him. These angels who were once good, kind, loving and obedient to God, became what are known today as evil spirits, devils or demons. Their main purpose in life is to try and trick all humans into thinking that Satan is right and God is wrong. They do this very well, so we must be careful that they do not trick us.

This is a very sad story, but one with a very important lesson for all of us. No matter how much we know, God knows much, much more. He knows what is best for us and that is why He had many wonderful men write the Bible for us to read, so we will be able to tell Truth from the Devil's lies. God's word can be trusted, but Satan is a liar and the father of them.

(Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:1-19; Revelation 12:7-9.)
