The Lucifer Rebellion

53:1.1Lu­cifer was not an as­cen­dant be­ing; he was a cre­ated Son of the lo­cal uni­verse, and of him it was said: “You were per­fect in all your ways from the day you were cre­ated till un­righ­teous­ness was found in you.” Many times had he been in coun­sel with the Most Highs of Eden­tia. And Lu­cifer reigned “upon the holy moun­tain of God,” the ad­min­is­tra­tive mount of Je­ru­sem, for he was the chief ex­ec­u­tive of a great sys­tem of 607 in­hab­ited worlds.

53:1.2Lu­cifer was a mag­nif­i­cent be­ing, a bril­liant per­son­al­ity; he stood next to the Most High Fa­thers of the con­stel­la­tions in the di­rect line of uni­verse au­thor­ity. Not­with­stand­ing Lu­cifer’s trans­gres­sion, sub­or­di­nate in­tel­li­gences re­frained from show­ing him dis­re­spect and dis­dain prior to Mi­chael’s be­stowal on Uran­tia. Even the arch­an­gel of Mi­chael, at the time of Moses’ res­ur­rec­tion, “did not bring against him an ac­cus­ing judg­ment but sim­ply said, ‘the Judge re­buke you.’” Judg­ment in such mat­ters be­longs to the An­cients of Days, the rulers of the super­uni­verse.

53:1.3Lu­cifer is now the fallen and de­posed Sov­er­eign of Sa­ta­nia. Self-con­tem­pla­tion is most dis­as­trous, even to the ex­alted per­son­al­i­ties of the ce­les­tial world. Of Lu­cifer it was said: “Your heart was lifted up be­cause of your beauty; you cor­rupted your wis­dom be­cause of your bright­ness.” Your olden prophet saw his sad es­tate when he wrote: “How are you fallen from heaven, O Lu­cifer, son of the morn­ing! How are you cast down, you who dared to con­fuse the worlds!”

53:1.4Very lit­tle was heard of Lu­cifer on Uran­tia ow­ing to the fact that he as­signed his first lieu­tenant, Sa­tan, to ad­vo­cate his cause on your planet. Sa­tan was a mem­ber of the same pri­mary group of La­non­an­deks but had never func­tioned as a Sys­tem Sov­er­eign; he en­tered fully into the Lu­cifer in­sur­rec­tion. The “devil” is none other than Cali­gas­tia, the de­posed Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia and a Son of the sec­ondary or­der of La­non­an­deks. At the time Mi­chael was on Uran­tia in the flesh, Lu­cifer, Sa­tan, and Cali­gas­tia were leagued to­gether to ef­fect the mis­car­riage of his be­stowal mis­sion. But they sig­nally failed.

53:1.5Abad­don was the chief of the staff of Cali­gas­tia. He fol­lowed his mas­ter into re­bel­lion and has ever since acted as chief ex­ec­u­tive of the Uran­tia rebels. Beelze­bub was the leader of the dis­loyal mid­way crea­tures who al­lied them­selves with the forces of the traitorous Cali­gas­tia.

53:1.6The dragon even­tu­ally be­came the sym­bolic rep­re­sen­ta­tion of all these evil per­son­ages. Upon the tri­umph of Mi­chael, “Ga­briel came down from Sal­ving­ton and bound the dragon (all the rebel lead­ers) for an age.” Of the Je­ru­sem se­raphic rebels it is writ­ten: “And the an­gels who kept not their first es­tate but left their own habi­ta­tion, he has re­served in sure chains of dark­ness to the judg­ment of the great day.”
