Eternity as the dwelling place of the Godhead; is filled with infinite selfless Love, that is character of God the Father; Son; and Holy Spirit. The essence of this Divine Love permeates their eternal laws and principles of all Divine creating, relating; and sustaining…
Thus, as God’s children, and citizens of eternal kingdom; Lucifer and all angels lived contentedly, in accord with eternal laws and principles of infinite selfless love, enjoying tranquillity of eternal safety, peace, freedom and fulfilment.
However, inexplicably at some point iniquitous intentions appeared in Lucifers heart.
- I will ascend into heaven;
- I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
- I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
- I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
- I will be like the Most High”.
These intentions were known to Godhead; and that harbouring them, Lucifer placed himself on the threshold of committing acts of iniquity (lawlessness). However, so far Lucifer only committed them as the intentions of his heart (invisible to other angels).
Thus, the Godhead lovingly and patiently waited for the actual manifestation of his freewill choice. Will he choose to repent and relent; or start committing them?
The Bible provides no indication when, Lucifer first desired to be like the Most high God; or how long it took; before he openly rebelled against the Godhead.
Thus, God the Father; didn’t stop Lucifer having iniquitous intentions; because he had a freewill; and knew Divine laws and principles. So, if he chose to commit iniquitous intentions in his heart; or by his deeds; Lucifer was free to do so.
The sustaining expression of relational Divine Love, between God and His children; is a freewill choice; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” John 3:16); thus, “If you love me keep my commandments” (John 14:15). .
Self defilement, and tragic fall of a perfect covering cherub will be revealed in my blog; How Lucifer Became Satan.
