Lucifer, God's beloved son Read online

Chapter Six-- Lucifer and his struggle

  “Master Satan had been behaving in a weird manner these past few days,” Belial mumbled.

  “I notice that, too.” Beelzebub declared.

  “He is often lost in thought,” Leviathan added on.

  “And he wasn't his usual self. In the past, he would be gloating when he came back from the throne of God, after successfully obtaining his permission from the Most High to harm someone. Now, it was just silence.” Asmodeus said.

  “Worst, I caught him referring to that accursed Nazarene Jesus as The Son.” Abaddon announced.

  “The Son? Nobody used the term these days. Even the holy angels do not refer to Jesus as The Son anymore. Ever since He came down to earth as a man, the angels had changed the way they referred to Jesus. He is called The Lamb, The Lion, and many other names. 'The Son' is rarely used these days.” Belial exclaimed.

  “But Master Satan referred to Jesus as The Son more than once in his conversation with me. For instance, he said to me, 'We must be careful of The Son and His plans for His church' and he also referred to Jesus as The Son when he told me to continue with my work of enticing Joe away from the church. 'Keep Joe away from The Son', his exact words.” Leviathan said.

  “You don't suppose that Master Satan is losing his mind?” Asmodeus suggested.

  “Maybe. He had been reading out on the book of Revelation and the book of Jonah, lately. I had no idea why he would read the book of Jonah. But maybe reading the book of Revelation was driving him crazy.” Abaddon suggested.

  “I could understand. I could never bring myself to read the book of Revelation.” Belial mumbered.

  “The lake of fire was a scary thing to ponder about. Perhaps Master Satan had finally succumbed to that fear within him with regard to the final judgment.” Beelzebub offered.

  Lucifer slipped away from his subordinates, as quietly as he had crept upon them. He did not mean to eavesdrop on their conversation. He was looking for Asmodeus, intending to assign him to promote the spread of abortions around the world. When he discovered that his subordinates were gossiping about him, he tried to make his presence as unnoticed as he could.

  So, they thought he was losing his mind. Maybe they were right. He had found himself thinking about the past lately.

  Curse that girl Elihua! Lucifer thought. She had put these stupid thoughts into me.

  In the book of Jonah, God proclaimed a judgment on the city. He declared through his prophet Jonah that he would destroy Ninevah for her evil deeds. The people of Ninevah repented and God changed His mind about the judgment He would send to Ninevah.

  In the book of Revelation, God proclaimed a judgment that would come on him. He declared through his servant John that He would send Lucifer to the lake of fire.

  Would God forgive him if he turn from his evil ways, like what the people of Ninevah had done? No, God wouldn't.

  Stop thinking about such stupid things, Lucifer thought angrily. Focus on what you could do to bring as many people down to hell as possible.

  He had went earlier to petition before God for God's permission to let him spread the number of abortions in the world. The angels were looking at him with glares in their eyes. They did not like to see him. Michael had been there, and he was glaring at Lucifer like the other angels. He had totally forgotten the hide and seek game they used to play together. Lucifer brought himself to ignore their glares, and to ignore the thought that they were once his friends.

  “Teenagers are toying with sex, and the adults are unfaithful towards their spouse. People are getting pregnant, without intending to do so. They want to abort their babies. Give me the permission to let them do so, and to further influence societies around the world to be more open towards the idea of abortion.” Lucifer said.

  God looked at Lucifer, silently. And Lucifer hated it.

  I know, God's eyes seemed to boast, I know you had been thinking about me.

  Lucifer shifted uncomfortably under the stare of God. Stop looking at me, he wanted to shout, but he managed to keep his silence.

  “Give me the permission.” Lucifer repeated himself. God looked at him. Come back to me, my Son. God's eyes seemed to plead.

  “Do what you will, Satan.” God replied.

  Satan. The Accuser. The Adversary. That was what God called him now.

  Satan, and not Lucifer.

  God regarded him as an enemy. He must had imagined the pleading eyes of God.

  Lucifer shook away his thoughts. Lucifer went to his study room in hell. The study room contained all the books he had collected on all kinds of topic. It was an imitation of the library of heaven, which he used to have access to. Most of the books in the study room were written by Lucifer himself. Lucifer passed through the shelves of books on temptation, seduction, pride, hate, malice, condemnation, greed, gluttony, murder, and all other topics on all kinds of sin available in the world. He stopped for a moment when he saw the title, “My Former Relationship With The Most High”. He shook his head and moved on to the shelf containing the book he was looking for.

  The history of the rebellion.
