Is Lucifer humanity’s savior? Lucifer, the Light Bearer and THE MORNING
STAR, is called, erroneously, the devil, serpent and Satan. He is
pitted as the arch enemy of God, who tempted man to do evil and whose
fate lies in a pit of fire. All very interesting, and all very wrong.
If the ‘faithful’ would just do a little research they would find that
Lucifer is not evil incarnate, nor is he the enemy of man and God, at
least the true God. I sometimes, well most of the time; wonder if
anyone actually reads the Bible. Here are some quotes with some phrases
with some highlights:
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened. And ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.
And the Lord God said, Behold, this man is
become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…”
And,
of course, the so called God placed guards, Cherubims with flaming
swords, to keep everyone away from the tree of life. Aside from the
question, who is the US, God is referring to, it is clear that God said
that man has become one of us, gods. It is the serpent who gave man
wisdom and God who kept man from completing the transformation. It is
the serpent, who the faithful call evil, interesting to say the least.
The
WAKING GOD TRILOGY explores this issue. One of its main characters,
Mantrella (a.k.a. Lucifer) offers to Andrew and his friends a truer
picture of the genesis and destiny of man. Is the Light Bringer really
evil? Was God just pissed off because man would no longer sit around
and sing praises? Was it really capital G, God, that banished Adam or a
lesser g, god that did the deed? What did Jesus really mean when he
clearly said, “DID I NOT SAY YE ARE GODS.”
What follows are some interesting excerpts to ponder. Discover more in the TRILOGY.
It
is said of the Pentagram, “If an apple is cut in half across its
equator then the pattern of the seed is revealed, a perfect
five-pointed star or pentagram…Five, comprised of the feminine number 2
and the masculine number 3, is the number of harmony, of the union of
opposites and of marriage. It is also the number of humankind because
of the five points of the extremity of the human body. When Eve gave
Adam the Apple of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, therefore, it was
not just a piece of fruit she was offering, but a potent symbol of
wisdom.
Eating the fruit that contains the pentagram resulted in
a profound awakening for Adam and Eve…they realized they could make
their own choices…The pentagram is the sign of Venus, both the planet
known as THE MORNING STAR, and the Goddess.” (Secret Signs and Symbols,
Nozedar)
“There are no passages within the older parts of the
Hebrew Scriptures where Satan is portrayed as an evil devil - the arch
enemy of God and of humanity. At most, he is described as a henchman
who carries out God's evil instructions. There is no dualism here
between two powerful supernatural entities: an all-good God and an
all-evil Satan. God is portrayed as performing, directly and
indirectly, both kind and evil deeds. When:
plagues are to be sent, or
a great genocidal flood is created to kill off almost all of humanity, except for Noah and his family, or
Onan was killed because he practiced an elementary form of birth control, in violation of a cultural tradition, or
Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because its residents were abusive to the needy and to strangers, or
Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt because she looked the wrong way,
it
is God who does it. In essence, the ancient writers of the early Hebrew
Scriptures looked upon Jehovah as performing both good and evil deeds.
A good indication of this is found in:
Isaiah 45:6-7:
"...I
am the LORD and there is none else. I form the light and create
darkness. I make peace an create evil. I the LORD do all these things."
(KJV)
or in Job 9:22-23:
“... [God] destroys both the blameless
and the wicked. When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the
despair of the innocent." (i.e. laughs at the suffering of the victim)
or in Lamentations 3:37-38:
"Who
has commanded and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it? Is
it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and evil come?"
During
the last three centuries before Christ's birth, the portrayal of Satan
underwent a major change. The Zoroastrian / Persian dualism concept
appeared in Jewish writing: God was now looked upon as wholly good;
Satan as profoundly evil. History was seen as a battle between them. No
longer was Satan simply God's prosecuting attorney, helper, or lackey.
Satan, and his demons, were now humanity's greatest enemies.
Author
G. Messandé 1 theorizes that from the middle of the 5th century BCE
until 53 BC and later, the Jews were on particularly good terms with
the Persians. From the latter's religion, Zoroastrianism, the Jews
picked up a number of concepts: the immortality of the soul, angels,
and Satan. Of the 3 main divisions of Judaism (Essenes, Pharisees,
Saducees) in the 1st century BCE, the Essenes seems to have focused the
most on Satan.
