Brightest Cherub, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,
was a ruler walking in the middle of the angels
in the third heaven in Eden the garden of God.
He was not satisfied with his position.
He wanted to sit beside God, on the seat,
which was reserved for God's Only Begotten Son.
As a result, he lost his glory,
and became the prince of Darkness.
He was cast to the Earth.
The Earth which God had made to dwell,
was waste and void,
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
But the Spirit of God moved.
And God said,
Let there be light
and there was light. (Gen 1:3)
This Light was not the sun nor the moon and none like this.
This Light is the same Person,
which was reported in the first verse of the Bible,
exactly in the first Word - The Beginning.
John designates him The Word and The True Light.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made
that was made. (John 1:1-3)
That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not. (John 1:9-10)
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
This is The Light which overthrew the darkness.
God even divided the light, which is good,
from the darkness, which is not good.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Gen 1:4) [/quote]
The most bitter day for the devil, however,
was when God created man in His own image.
We got the glory that Lucifer was looking for.
Man was created in God's image, likeness of God.
And God said:
Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness (Gen 1:26)
Adam was faced with all the sympathetic animals,
but one thing bothered him. Adam was lonely.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man. (Gen 2:21-23)
Adam was the image of God. Now the image was changed slightly.
The image of God consisted two individuals,
who were one and the same flesh and bone.
As the image of God they ruled all around the creation
naked without scales, feathers or fur;
they were clothed with the divine glory.
In the Old Testament God's only begotten Son,
is called the Wisdom. The Wisdom says:
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old. (Prov 8:22)
The Wisdom was present, when God created the World,
and not a bystander.
Then I was by Him, as a master workman (Prov 8:30)
The Wisdom tells us step by step
the early events of the universe with all its upheavals,
but says finally:
Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him:
and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men. (Prov 8:30-31)
He has created a solar system after another.
But His delight is a tiny little human being in the middle of an infinite universe.
Adam, the image of God, had experienced,
that it is not good to be alone,
although he was surrounded by the animals.
Similarly, had experienced God's only begotten Son,
although He was surrounded by the huge angelic hosts.
But then the man was created in God's image.
The only begotten Son of God could love people as Bride.
God's only-begotten Son, True Light,
could become one with His loved ones.
In Him was life;
and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)
A human had no life in himself.
The life was in Him, Who is called
the Word and the Wisdom and the Light.
Man was a living image of God,
but a vivid picture is darkened at the moment
the power is turned off.
And then in us there is no longer Light.
The witch, which disconnects us, is
Sin
