Chapter 14 Appendix 1 Relevant Information

Among the fallen angels we know, Lucifer and Satan are the two most familiar names, but I have my own set of views, just like other researchers, each has its own reasonable explanation.What is written here is the integration of general information and mine for your reference. Title: Godlike Radiance, Brightest Star Title: Before the throne Symbol: Weapon of the Almighty (token) The English Chinese Religious Dictionary explains: "The one who brings light—Venus". God gave Lucifer and Mikael the position of "before the throne".Legend has it that the titles and positions bestowed by gods have mana, and the titles of him and Mikael: "God-like" also mean that the two have god-like appearance, strength, character, and other qualities.

According to the records, Lucifer has a violent and stern temperament, and because he wanted to gain the same status as God, he set off a war between heaven and earth, and was finally knocked down to hell by his twin angel, the Archangel Mikael.The fact of his rebellion is mentioned in the Bible: "You have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven; above the stars of God I will exalt my throne; I will sit on the mount of the assembly, in the farthest part of the north." (Isaiah 14-13) "I will ascend above the high clouds; I will be equal with the Most High." (Isaiah 14-14)

His failure and fall is described as follows: "Why did you fall from heaven, O bright star, son of the morning; why were you cut down to the ground, you who conquered the nations" (Isaiah 14-12) The "bright star" in this passage refers to the "light-bearer—Venus", that is, Lucifer. Satan, which appears in the Bible, has this comment in the combined version of the "New Testament": Satan means "resist" and is another name for "devil". "Satan" means "resist", and there are only four times in the Old Testament that it represents "malicious devil".

In the "Bible", Satan sometimes plays the role of "Trialist" to test Jesus, and sometimes plays the role of "Traitor". Because his image is both good and evil, some people later called him the guardian angel. Satan was once one of the most exalted angels, at the right seat of God (Gabriel is the left seat).He was expelled from the heaven because he wanted to further obtain equal status with the gods - this statement is confused with the life experience of "Lu Xihua", making people think that this is the same person. "There were also angels who did not keep their place and left their dwelling place, and the Lord kept them in chains forever in darkness, to wait for the judgment in the great day." (Jude 1-07)

This verse shows that there are indeed angels who are out of place and have left their own dwellings, but it does not point out who they are. It may refer to the plural rather than the singular, and it is many "Satans" (devils) rather than one "Satan" . "...Depart from me, you cursed ones! Go into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!" (Matthew 25-41) "Again there was a vision in heaven: a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and on his seven heads were seven crowns." (Revelation 12-3) "His tail dragged down a third of the stars in the sky, and they fell to the ground." (Revelation 12-4)

"There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought with his angels." (Revelation 12-7) "There is no victory, there is no place for them in heaven." (Revelation 12-8) "The great dragon was that old serpent, named Devil, and Satan, who deceived the whole world. He was cast down to the ground, and his angels were cast down with him." (Revelation 12-9) The dragon is mentioned many times in the "Apocalypse" of the "Bible", and it is clearly pointed out that it is Satan, which overlaps with Lucifer, the star of the dawn.

There are also the following scriptures: "But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, This man casts out demons only by Beelzebub, the king of demons." (Matthew 12-24) "Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: Every nation divided against itself will be laid waste; and every city and house divided against itself will not stand." (Matthew 12-25) "If Satan drives Satan out, he is fighting against himself; how can his kingdom stand?" (Matthew 12-26) "If I cast out demons by Beelzebub, on whom will your children cast out demons? Then they will judge you right from wrong." (Matthew 12-27)

If you look at "If Satan casts out Satan" and "If I drive out demons by Beelzebub, who will your children rely on to cast out demons?", "Satan" is a noun, not just a person. There are also scriptures: "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great burning star fell from heaven like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water." (Revelation 8-11) "The name of this star is wormwood. A third of the waters turned into wormwood; and because the waters became bitter, many died." (Revelation 8-12) There are quite a lot of nouns used to describe the devil in the "Bible". Because of the name and surname, there are many sayings and opinions.

In Su Lan's works, Satan (Ye) and Lucifer are set as two different angels.
