The Vanity of Lucifer the Fallen
The Ignorant Fisherman
September 16, 2015
Satan's rebellion against Almighty God will be just as a brief moment in light of ETERNITY'S FOREVERNESS. It will be a vapor, a puff of smoke, the chief vanity of all vanities but his brief rebellion will have EVERLASTING consequences and damnation (Isa. 14:12-15, Rev. 20:10).
Lucifer, the Son of the Morning, the greatest creation of Almighty God, is the progenitor and father of vain imaginations, delusion, false reality, lies, slander, murder, deception and rebellion (John 8:44; Ezek. 28:12, 15).
Lucifer is also called the Father of Lies, an angel of light (deceiver), Satan (adversary), the Devil (slanderer), a devouring lion, the Great Dragon (a consuming dreadful violent monster), and that Old Serpent (cunning and crafty for evil designs) - John 8:44, 2 Cor. 11:14, 1 Peter 5:8, Rev. 12:9.
These various names for Lucifer describe his godless character and actions against Almighty God, his Creator, and against God's ETERNAL Person and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
These various names given to Lucifer describe his godless and lawless character and actions against Almighty God, his Creator, and against Almighty God's ETERNAL Person and His PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS. These descriptions are given for us ("sons of Adam") by the Holy Spirit to help us better understand who this Tyrant of Lawlessness truly is and to warn us of his horrific rage (John 8:44, Rev. 12:9).
In ETERNITY past Lucifer enjoyed a relationship to Almighty God. I truly believe there was a point in his existence where he loved and adored the Triune God with all his heart. He had the chief place as Protector of the Holiness of God (Ezek. 28:14), and he was the worship leader and choir director of all Heaven (Ezek. 28:13). Lucifer enjoyed all the heavenly blessings of his rank and position. However there came a time when Lucifer became very proud, arrogant, envious and bitter. In his foolish heart he sought the place of his ETERNAL Creator and Sovereign for himself, and and in a series of events he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out of the presence and holy habitation of Almighty God (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:15-18; Jude 1:6; Rev. 12:4).
In his foolish heart he sought the place of his ETERNAL Creator and Sovereign for himself, and and in a series of events he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out of the presence and holy habitation of Almighty God.
Lucifer could have remained in his highly honored position indefinitely, enjoying the ETERNAL blessings and fellowship with His Creator.
