The Rebellion Of Lucifer And His Angels Against God
 |
| Man's evolutionary journey through the ages |
The rebellion of Lucifer and his angels against God is one of the most fascinating and mysterious topics in Ancient Egyptian and Christian theology.
How did God's most beautiful and powerful creatures turn against their Creator? What were the motives and consequences of this heavenly revolt? Was the timing of the rebellion a coincidence with God's creation of Homo sapiens, the last and most advanced species of Man? Or was it a sinister plot to abort man's elevation to the status of the angels? And what does it mean for us today?

We'll explore the origins of Lucifer and his fallen angels, his transformation into Satan, and the subsequent rebellion of his angelic followers. Join us as we unravel the complexities of this spiritual warfare and its implications on humanity.
CYCLES OF GOD’S CREATION AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT PHASES
Before we go on to explain the rebellion of one-third of the angels in heaven, led by Lucifer, let us explain the nature of God’s creation and his development schemes.God divided the development phases of his creation into two, summer and winter. These are the phases of development or evolution through which all creatures must pass through to develop to their full potential.
Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

GOD’S FIRST CREATURES
The first beings God created were the angels of the morning. These were the very first sets of beings he created after The Big Bang. They were not angelic beings overnight. They went through development phases just like humans. This creation took place between 150 to 300 million years after the Big Bang. It is the era of the very first generation of stars and galaxies.CYCLES OF CREATION
Scientifically, it follows that each time God creates a new generation of stars, he creates associated life forms with it. In other words, when God creates an environment, he creates life to inhabit it.
THE GROUNDS FOR THE REBELLION
GOD CREATES OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
When God created our solar system, this set of angels, and the ones he created after that were the workers who took care of man and his environment.We shall treat the rebellion shortly, but to understand the grounds for their rebellion, let us use the March of Progress from Wikipedia, to see the long march associated with man’s evolutionary development.
Until we became homo sapiens, these rebellious angels were our caregivers right from our early primitive forms.
The March of Progress,
originally titled The Road to Homo Sapiens, is an illustration
that presents 25 million
years of human evolution. It was created for the Early Man volume of the
Life Nature Library, published in
1965, and drawn by the artist Rudolph Zallinger.
The illustration is a foldout entitled
"The Road to Homo Sapiens". It shows a sequence of figures, drawn by natural history painter and muralist Rudolph
Zallinger
(1919–1995). The 15 human evolutionary forebears are lined up as if they were
marching in a parade
from left to right. The first two sentences of the caption read "What were
the stages of man's long march from apelike ancestors to sapiens?

The 15 primate figures in Zallinger's image, from left to right, are listed below. The dating follows the original graphic and may no longer reflect current scientific opinion.
- Pliopithecus, 22–12 million-year-old "ancestor of the gibbon line"
- Proconsul, 21–9 million-year-old primate which may or may not have qualified as an ape
- Dryopithecus, a 15–8 million-year-old fossil ape, the first such found (1856) and a probable ancestor of modern apes
- Oreopithecus, 15–8 million years old
- Ramapithecus, 13–8 million-year-old ape and possible ancestor of modern orangutans (now considered a female Sivapithecus)
- Australopithecus, 2–3 million years old; then considered the earliest "certain hominid"
- Paranthropus, 1.8–0.8 million years old
- Advanced Australopithecus, 1.8–0.7 million year old
- Homo erectus, 700,000–400,000 years old, then the earliest known member of the genus Homo
- Early Homo sapiens, 300,000–200,000 years old; from Swanscombe, Steinheim and Montmaurin, then considered probably the earliest H. sapiens
- Solo Man, 100,000–50,000 years old; described as an extinct Asian "race" of H. sapiens (now considered a sub-species of H. erectus)
- Rhodesian Man, 50,000–30,000 years old; described as an extinct African "race" of H. sapiens (now considered either H. rhodesiensis or H.
- heidelbergensis and dated much earlier)
- Neanderthal Man, 100,000–40,000 years old
- Cro-Magnon Man, 40,000–5,000 years old
- Modern Man, 40,000 years to the present
EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FIRST REBELLION, OF LUCIFER AND HIS ANGELS
Of the 15 primate
species that man has to go through to become the modern man he is today, only
homo sapiens have the direct potential for development to the status of angels. This
was the reason for God’s planting of the Garden in Eden. In other words, a
fully developed homo sapiens to perfection is an angel. That’s a fact and this
shall be made manifest at the end of this age.

| Humans will become angels |
Let us hear from Jesus
Christ, an authority in human husbandry.
Luke 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
The end of the age has its fair share of disastrous consequences for those who fail to take advantage of God's amnesty offered through Christ. While some will shine as the stars forever, others will face eternal shame forever.
Daniel 12 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
1 Corinthians 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
THE FIRST REBELLION, OF LUCIFER AND HIS ANGELS
The rebellion of Lucifer and his angels against God is one of the most fascinating and mysterious topics in Christian theology. How did God's most beautiful and powerful creatures turn against their Creator? What were the motives and consequences of this cosmic revolt? And what does it mean for us today?Let
us look at the events, and why they took place.
In the progressive
order of God's recreations, man had reached the last hurdle of his evolutionary
development as Homo sapiens, the thinking and spiritual point of his journey to become a perfect being as the angels of God. He had reached the point where God would upgrade him
to join his service as his angels.
But this means God
will have to groom them first to become gods, hence the reason he planted their
tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
In further
development, man was to go further to become the seed or sons and daughters of God. These are
equal to the Angels. Their tree is the tree of life, the tree of everlasting
life, the tree of immortality.
LUCIFER CONFRONTS GOD BECAUSE OF HOMO SAPIENS
Then said the angels led by Lucifer, why make them equal to us, when we have laboured with you to take care of the universe, right from its early days?
This is how the Bible recorded it. Note: The first angels are the early morning workers in verses one to three, while later generation angels corresponding to the more recent generation of stars are the ones mentioned in the third and sixth hours. Early maturing humans are the ones mentioned in the eleventh hour.
Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Trouble For The Newly Created Homo Sapiens. Lucifer And His Angels Rebel Against God.
Therefore,
when God created Homo sapiens, the angels led by Lucifer were not in support of
God’s latest evolutionary change in humans, so they complained thus:
Matthew 20: 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
The angel that God
answered clearly is Lucifer: Matthew 20: 13 But he answered one of them, and
said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto
thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye
evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many be called, but few chosen.
THE TEMPTATION OF ADAM AND EVE
Thus, the fallen angels set out to frustrate God’s further development of man as homo sapiens. This is how the Bible recorded the first events.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 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. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the 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 for ever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
THE NEXT POST
Join
us as we unravel the complexities of this continuous spiritual warfare, whose implications on humanity have been very grave. To make matters worse, Lucifer and his fallen angel's attacks on humans have been relentless, to say the least.
To make matters more complex than can be imagined, God grows his creatures through summer and winter before they become mature and perfect. This means that in the course of the winter, as it is now, he uses the rebels to grow his creatures through the season of winter.
And the winter people are
the rebels, the unbelievers that God pardons and gives them rulership instead
of punishment as a gift of repentance!
Isaiah 26:10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
