allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The narrative of Lucifer, particularly his origins, rebellion, and subsequent fall, is primarily derived from theological interpretations of specific Old Testament passages, notably <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Isaiah%2014:1-32&amp;version=KJV">Isaiah 14</a> and <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=ezekiel%2028&amp;version=KJV">Ezekiel 28</a>, as well as corroborating New Testament references, including <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Revelation%2012&amp;version=KJV">Revelation 12</a>. While the name &#8220;Lucifer&#8221; itself is rooted in Latin, meaning &#8220;light-bearer&#8221; or &#8220;morning star,&#8221; its application to the fallen angel stems from the King James Version&#8217;s translation of the Hebrew term Helel ben Shahar in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Isaiah%2014:12&amp;version=KJV">Isaiah 14:12</a>.</p><p>Before his rebellion, Lucifer is depicted as an extraordinary being of beauty, wisdom, and perfection, holding a high-ranking position as an &#8220;anointed guardian cherub&#8221; within God&#8217;s divine order. He is described as having resided in the &#8220;garden of God&#8221; and on the &#8220;holy mountain of God,&#8221; adorned with precious stones, signifying his exalted status and proximity to the divine.</p><p>The catalyst for Lucifer&#8217;s downfall was his own self-generated pride. He became enamoured with his inherent beauty, intelligence, and power, leading him to covet the honour and glory that rightfully belonged to God. This hubris manifested in a series of five ambitious declarations, often referred to as the &#8220;five I wills,&#8221; found in Isaiah 14:13-14:</p><ol><li><p>&#8220;I will ascend to heaven.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;I will raise my throne above the stars of God.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;I will sit on the mount of assembly.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;I will make myself like the Most High.&#8221;</p></li></ol><p>These declarations signify a direct challenge to God&#8217;s sovereignty and an attempt to usurp divine authority. As a consequence of this profound act of rebellion, Lucifer was banished from his celestial abode, cast down from the &#8220;mountain of God&#8221; and thrown to the earth. Following his expulsion, his identity transformed from the &#8220;light-bearer&#8221; to Satan, a Hebrew term meaning &#8220;adversary&#8221; or &#8220;accuser&#8221;.</p><p>Biblical scholars often interpret <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Isaiah%2014:12-17&amp;version=KJV">Isaiah 14:12-17</a> and <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Ezekiel%2028:11-19&amp;version=KJV">Ezekiel 28:11-19</a> as dual prophecies. While these passages ostensibly address the human kings of Babylon and Tyre, respectively, the descriptive language employed&#8212;such as references to a &#8220;guardian cherub&#8221; and a presence &#8220;in Eden&#8221;&#8212;is understood to transcend human characteristics, thereby pointing to the spiritual entity, Satan, operating behind these earthly rulers. Further New Testament support for this primordial fall is found in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Luke%2010:18&amp;version=KJV">Luke 10:18</a>, where Jesus states, &#8220;I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven,&#8221; and in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Revelation%2012:7-9&amp;version=KJV">Revelation 12:7-9</a>, which recounts a war in heaven leading to the expulsion of the dragon (Satan) and his angels.</p><p>Despite his fall from grace and loss of his original authority, Satan is depicted as retaining access to the earthly realm and, at times, even to heaven in the capacity of an accuser, as illustrated in the Book of <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Job%201:6-12&amp;version=KJV">Job</a>. However, biblical prophecy outlines his ultimate destiny: following the second coming of Christ, he is foretold to be bound in a pit during the millennial kingdom and eventually cast into the &#8220;lake of fire&#8221; for eternal judgment.</p><h2><strong>Summary</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Lucifer&amp;oq=luicfer+story&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEIMzQzNmowajGoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjvzMm92NaTAxUISEEAHU1HBtQQgK4QegYIAQgAEA4">Lucifer</a>, originally a high-ranking, beautiful angel known as the &#8220;morning star&#8221; or &#8220;lightbearer,&#8221; <strong>fell from Heaven due to pride and envy, desiring to be equal to God</strong>. He rebelled, leading a third of the angels in a heavenly revolt before being cast out by Michael, becoming Satan, the adversary.</p><p><strong>Key Aspects of the Story:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Original Position:</strong> Lucifer was an anointed, perfect &#8220;covering cherub&#8221;. He was likely the highest angel, adorned with jewels, and led the heavenly choir in worship.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Fall (Pride):</strong> Lucifer allowed his beauty and wisdom to corrupt him. He decided he should be worshipped rather than worshipping God, desiring to make himself &#8220;like the Most High&#8221;.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Rebellion:</strong> Lucifer convinced a third of the angels to join his revolt, leading to a war in heaven. He is described as a &#8220;traitor&#8221; who brought darkness into heaven.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Expulsion:</strong> God banished Lucifer from Heaven, with Jesus describing his fall as seeing Satan fall &#8220;like a flash of lightning&#8221;.</p></li><li><p><strong>Aftermath:</strong> He became known as Satan (&#8221;adversary&#8221; or &#8220;accuser&#8221;). His destiny is to be thrown into the lake of fire.</p></li><li><p><strong>Biblical References:</strong> The fall is largely interpreted from passages like Isaiah 14:12 (&#8220;How you have fallen from heaven, oh star of the morning&#8221;) and Ezekiel 28, often associated with his pride, alongside Revelation 12, which describes the war in heaven.</p></li></ul><p><em>Note: The name &#8220;Lucifer&#8221; (Latin for &#8220;light-bearer&#8221;) appears only once in many Bible translations (Isaiah 14:12, KJV), and the story is synthesised from various biblical passages, traditions, and interpretations.</em></p><h2>References</h2><p><a href="https://www.christianity.com/wiki/angels-and-demons/how-did-lucifer-fall-and-become-satan-11557519.html">[1] Christianity.com.

Many of these people have ignored the call of God and succumbed to the flesh, but many more, including the leaders, have taken on a direct role in fighting against God. One of the lies that Christianity and its Protestantism divisions have spread is the invalidity of many scriptural books. Many denominations require the individual to accept that only fractions of the inspired word of God are valid without presenting a scrap of evidence towards that claim that simple research couldn't dispel.</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><p>Today, I will shine a light on that lie.</p></figure></div></blockquote><h2>Always Fighting Against the Law</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fZhP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c10293c-77c5-487c-9a5e-223f8935a078_1024x576.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><blockquote><p>And he shall speak <em>great</em> words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.</p><p><a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Daniel%207:25&amp;version=KJV">Daniel 7:25</a></p></blockquote><p>The ongoing fight against what the law of God is and whether we should keep it is what led me to this truth. I have seen many people choose that the law is not valid purely because their loins burned and they yearned for money and the things of this world. It was obvious to me that the law, following the instructions of God, is still valid. If not, there would be no sin, since breaking the law is sin (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=1%20John%203:4&amp;version=KJV">1 John 3:4</a>).</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><p>It is that simple.</p></figure></div></blockquote><p>Considering that the law is still valid, I wanted to respect the times and laws (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Daniel%207:25&amp;version=KJV">Daniel 7:25</a>), so I searched for the biblical calendar to celebrate the holy days and times that God put in place. However, I could not find all of these details in the Bible. It took me a very long time searching to understand the deception which stopped me looking outside what these so-called leaders told me was the box. When I understood that God worked with the entire world, and even the Bible showed that events were written in other books (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Esther%202:23&amp;version=KJV">Esther 2:23</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Joshua%2010:13&amp;version=KJV">Joshua 10:13</a>), I knew the answer must be available somewhere else.</p><p>The question remains of why, with so many references in the Bible to other books, these books are ignored by protestant denominations. One of the tactics used is to pit protestants against Catholics or Orthodox Christianity. This is the age-old tactic of getting someone to go along with you, not because you are correct, but because they must go against the other side. How many people are trapped because they are fighting against the Catholics, the Vatican, the Orthodox, and vice versa? Countless.</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><p>Stop fighting and start searching for the truth.</p></figure></div></blockquote><h2>Breaking the Bonds</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kB2I!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F350eff7f-5531-4e8a-a696-bcc2bb9ddd22_1024x576.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>When I understood the use of the "divide and conquer" methodology, I was on my way to being free from that bond. Unlike others who grew weary of Christianity or another religion leaving their belief in God behind to embrace the world, I realised this was also part of the deception. The world's religions wear you out and exploit you until nothing is left (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Proverbs%205:9-11&amp;version=KJV">Proverbs 5:9-11</a>). Then you are into the no better world, spending your days bitter against the religion that raped you of your life and throwing yourself into the world with full gusto to wash away with tears the torture of remembering your honour and virginity being taken by these miscreants.</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><p>There are so many spinning balls of deception that unless one is guided, its impossible to elude all.</p></figure></div></blockquote><p>After finding many answers to the <a href="https://www.wakeuplookandsee.com/the-biblical-calendar-series/">calendar</a> in the Bible, I picked a book I once discarded as fiction after looking at charlatans on youtube, such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/treysmithnutshell">Trey Smith</a>, who spin such wild tales you get sucked into the lie or toss the book aside as mere fantasy. I picked up the <a href="https://www.wakeuplookandsee.com/the-book-of-enoch-3/">Book of Enoch</a> and found a detailed account of how the calendar is organised. While it does take some figuring out, it is better than being stuck with the lie.</p><p>Finding this information cemented my understanding that religion has been put in place to deceive those who try to follow the path of the Most High. Indeed, we see this in the following passages, which show that these institutions have been set up for that reason.</p><blockquote><p><sup>33. </sup>Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.</p><p><strong><sup>34. </sup>And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.</strong></p><p><sup>35. </sup>They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:</p><p><strong><sup>36. </sup>For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.</strong></p><p><sup>37. </sup>Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:</p><p><a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=1%20Maccabees%201:33-37&amp;version=KJV">1 Maccabees 1:33-37</a></p></blockquote><p>The 66-book lie is just one of many put in place to execute the plan to get the children of God to forget the laws and ordinances. As Daniel prophesied, so it happened in the Grecian kingdom, where the king spoke great words against the most High&#8212;fighting till this day against the laws of God.</p><blockquote><p><sup>44. </sup>For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,</p><p><sup>45. </sup>And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:</p><p><strong><sup>46. </sup>And pollute the sanctuary and holy people:</strong></p><p><sup>47. </sup>Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine&#8217;s flesh, and unclean beasts:</p><p><sup>48. </sup>That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:</p><p><strong><sup>49. </sup>To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.</strong></p><p><sup>50. </sup>And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.</p><p><a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=1%20Maccabees%201:44-50&amp;version=KJV">1 Maccabees 1:44-50</a></p></blockquote><h2>Books for the Righteous</h2><p>The more you search for God, the more you understand. It is a simple equation, yet most people cannot solve it. God is not found in religion by attending the church, bible study or by paying tithes to the churches. The tithes belong to God to do his work, but many pass on this responsibility to the churches and absolve themselves. This is incorrect; the more you study, the more the truth becomes evident that each of us has a duty to God (Parable of the talents: <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Matthew%2025:14%E2%80%9330&amp;version=KJV">Matthew 25:14&#8211;30</a>, Parable of the ten virgins: <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Matthew%2025:1-13&amp;version=KJV">Matthew 25:1-13</a>, The wedding invitation: <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Matthew%2022:1-14&amp;version=KJV">Matthew 22:1-14</a>) and we must take up that mantle.</p><blockquote><p><sup>12.</sup> Then, I know another mystery, <strong>that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom</strong>.<br><sup>13.</sup> <strong>And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them</strong>, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.</p><p>The Book of Enoch 104:12-13</p></blockquote><p>While the 66 books are inspired, they are not the only books sent by God (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=John%2021:25&amp;version=KJV">John 21:25</a>). Those who search will be given those books, and they will trust in them, and God will open their eyes to the truth, and they will see the lies.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Only the 66 books, better known as the Holy Bible (the protestant Bible), are the selection of books the founders of the protestant churches have conspired to allow their congregation to read while hiding everything else. They claim that only these books are inspired and forbid their congregation to read anything else without providing any valid proof for their claim. This lie has led many astray and have left them struggling to find answers that the leaders themselves cannot offer. Do you know that Bible study teacher that doesn't know anything or the pastor that says to pray about it because he doesn't have an answer? Or when your studies of the Bible conflict with the doctrine taught in the church and you are left confused? Yet, the congregation all follow as an ox to the slaughter (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=Proverbs%207:22-23&amp;version=KJV">Proverbs 7:22-23</a>), not knowing it is for their life.</p><p>The false gospel is for your life, and it is not a joke. Sitting passively and not taking a stand for yourself is the same as willingly handing yourself to hell. This lie is one of the greatest deceptions you must escape, keeping the commandments of God without fear and allowing the Highest to guide you into all truths (<a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/passage?query=John%2016:13&amp;version=KJV">John 16:13</a>).</p><p>As always, choose today who you will serve. The flesh strives for the things of this world. The flesh is strong and powerful; we all have fallen at some point, but get up, dust yourself off, and continue the journey, striving never to fall again. This test will determine whose kingdom you want to be part of and who you will serve.</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><p>Is it the God of heaven or this world (the beast)?</p></figure></div></blockquote>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difference between God and Religion → Truth is Important]]></title><description><![CDATA[Religion has done one of the greatest tricks known to man.

To think of religion, its spread, and its evolution is fascinating; however, understanding its insidious deception is crucial and a long journey for many. Today we explore the point of God and Religion and whether religion equals God.</p><h2>God and Religion</h2><p>Everyone and anyone, when the spirit in them awakens, and the fact that this world is more than making money, inevitably runs into the dilemma of where to go.

The word Lucifer came from the Latin Vulgate and translates as the other biblical translations &#8212; Day Star, morning star, the light bearer, light bringer, etc.</p><p>In <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+22%3A16">Revelation 22:16</a>, we read, "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."</p><p>The broader context of <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Isaiah+14">Isaiah 14</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Ezekiel+28:2">Ezekiel 28:2</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=ezekiel%2028%3A11-19">Ezekiel 28:9-13</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+12%3A4">Revelation 12:4</a> traditionally interpreted and taught through Christianity &amp; Catholicism as referring to Satan. The claim is that the passage has a dual meaning, speaking both of Nebuchadnezzar and Satan, but studying building precept upon precept and line upon line shows that this is not the case.</p><p>What is missed by most are the details and in combination with the preaching/teaching of their pastors and "experts", who use speculation &amp; conjecture, the understanding put forward of Satan equals Lucifer is adopted.</p><h3>The confusion</h3><h4>Isaiah 14</h4><p>What does it mean when the scriptures say?</p><ol><li><p>How art thou fallen&nbsp;from heaven,&nbsp;O Lucifer,&nbsp;son&nbsp;of the morning! <em>(Isaiah 14:12)</em></p></li><li><p>For thou hast said&nbsp;in thine heart,&nbsp;I will ascend&nbsp;into heaven,&nbsp;I will exalt&nbsp;my throne&nbsp;above&nbsp;the stars&nbsp;of God <em>(Isaiah 14:13)</em></p></li><li><p>I will sit&nbsp;also upon the mount&nbsp;of the congregation,&nbsp;in the sides&nbsp;of the north <em>(Isaiah 14:13)</em></p></li><li><p>I will ascend&nbsp;above the heights&nbsp;of the clouds;&nbsp;I will be like&nbsp;the most High <em>(Isaiah 14:14)</em></p></li></ol><h4>Ezekiel 28</h4><ol><li><p>Because thine heart&nbsp;<em>is</em>&nbsp;lifted up,&nbsp;and thou hast said, I&nbsp;<em>am</em>&nbsp;a God,&nbsp;I sit&nbsp;<em>in</em>&nbsp;the seat&nbsp;of God,&nbsp;in the midst&nbsp;of the seas; yet thou&nbsp;<em>art</em>&nbsp;a man,&nbsp;and not God,&nbsp;though thou set&nbsp;thine heart&nbsp;as the heart&nbsp;of God <em>(Ezekiel 28:2)</em></p></li><li><p>Thus saith&nbsp;the Lord&nbsp;GOD;&nbsp;Thou sealest up&nbsp;the sum,&nbsp;full&nbsp;of wisdom,&nbsp;and perfect&nbsp;in beauty. <em>(Ezekiel 28:12)</em></p></li><li><p>Thou hast been in Eden&nbsp;the garden&nbsp;of God <em>(Ezekiel 28:13)</em></p></li><li><p>every precious&nbsp;stone&nbsp;<em>was</em>&nbsp;thy covering,&nbsp;the sardius,&nbsp;topaz,&nbsp;and the diamond,&nbsp;the beryl,&nbsp;the onyx,&nbsp;and the jasper,&nbsp;the sapphire,&nbsp;the emerald,&nbsp;and the carbuncle,&nbsp;and gold <em>(Ezekiel 28:13)</em></p></li><li><p>the workmanship&nbsp;of thy tabrets&nbsp;and of thy pipes&nbsp;was prepared&nbsp;in thee in the day&nbsp;that thou wast created. <em>(Ezekiel 28:13)</em></p></li><li><p>Thou&nbsp;<em>art</em>&nbsp;the anointed&nbsp;cherub&nbsp;that covereth;&nbsp;and I have set&nbsp;thee&nbsp;<em>so:</em> <em>(Ezekiel 28:14)</em></p></li><li><p>thou wast upon the holy&nbsp;mountain&nbsp;of God <em>(Ezekiel 28:14)</em></p></li><li><p>thou hast walked up and down&nbsp;in the midst&nbsp;of the stones&nbsp;of fire. <em>(Ezekiel 28:14)</em></p></li><li><p>Thou&nbsp;<em>wast</em>&nbsp;perfect&nbsp;in thy ways&nbsp;from the day&nbsp;that thou wast created,&nbsp;till iniquity&nbsp;was found&nbsp;in thee. <em>(Ezekiel 28:15)</em></p></li><li><p>Thine heart&nbsp;was lifted up&nbsp;because of thy beauty,&nbsp;thou hast corrupted&nbsp;thy wisdom&nbsp;by reason of&nbsp;thy brightness:&nbsp;I will cast&nbsp;thee to the ground,&nbsp;I will lay&nbsp;thee before&nbsp;kings,&nbsp;that they may behold&nbsp;thee. <em>(Ezekiel 28:16)</em></p></li></ol><h3>The details</h3><p><a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=genesis%2037%3A9-10">Genesis 37:9&#8211;10</a> shows that the stars refer to the tribes of Israel.

This maps to Ezekiel 28:15.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Isaiah+14">Isaiah 14</a> passage has nothing to do with Satan. The scriptures refer to Jesus as the light of the world and the sun in many places. <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=John+8%3A12">John 8:12</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=2+Peter+1%3A19">2 Peter 1:19</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%209%3A5">John 9:5</a>. Also, the light is equated to life in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%201%3A4">John 1:4</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=John+8%3A12">John 8:12</a> as we see that Jesus is the life in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%206%3A48">John 6:48</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%206%3A35">John 6:35</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%206%3A51">John 6:51 </a>&amp; <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=john%206%3A33">John 6:33</a>. Even within <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Genesis%201:3">Genesis 1:3,</a> we see that the light of the world was created, the plan of Salvation on day one before the creation of the sun on day four. <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+13%3A8">Revelation 13:8</a>, <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=revelation%2021%3A27">Revelation 21:27</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=revelation%2022%3A1">Revelation 22:1</a> then further confirms that the lamb was slain to give us life.</p><p><strong>The </strong><em><strong>lamb</strong></em><strong> was slain to give us </strong><em><strong>life</strong></em><strong> who is </strong><em><strong>the light of the world</strong></em><strong> which is the </strong><em><strong>Sun</strong></em><strong> and is the </strong><em><strong>Son of God</strong></em><strong> who is </strong><em><strong>God</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p><p>In <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+12%3A4">Revelation 12:4</a> with the understanding that the stars are the 12 tribes of Israel, we see that the popular doctrine of a third of the angels was cast down with Satan (Lucifer) falls apart. We understand that the remainder of this verse refers to the birth of Jesus (the light of the world); <em>also with a deeper understanding that the dragon (serpent) is at the door waiting to consume anyone who is born and anyone who sees the <strong>light</strong></em>.</p><p>We see in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Ezekiel+28">Ezekiel 28</a> that the king of Tyre (Tyrus) is Nebuchadnezzar who conquered the Southern Kingdom (Judah &amp; Benjamin). We see in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=2+Kings+17">2 Kings 17</a> that Assyria conquered the Southern Kingdom which are the remaining ten tribes of Israel. In <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=1%2Bkings%2012:26-33">1 Kings 12:26-33</a> we see the start of the corrupted sun worship within the southern kingdom of Israel. The legacy of this is seen in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Exodus+32:1-4">Exodus 32:1-4</a> stemming all way back to Egypt. Also, in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=jeremiah%203%3A8-11">Jeremiah 3:8-11</a> we see that Judah (the southern kingdom) was eventually worst than the southern kingdom. Baal (A Tyrian sun god) &amp; Bel (An Assyrian sun god possibly originating from the word Bethel) appear to have both originated in the 12-tribe Israel through the corrupted worship of the Most High.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>The doctrine of Lucifer being Satan is completely fabricated and is what causes significant confusion when Jesus calls himself the <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+22%3A16">bright and morning star</a>. The primary organisation that pushes the Lucifer equals Satan doctrine is Christianity, and its mother that <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=Revelation+17">great whore</a>. This same organisation has cleverly demonised the pure worship of the Most High by associating it with the corrupted sun worship of Israel.</p><p>Lucifer, the light bearer, the morning star, the sun is <strong>Jesus</strong> who is God. Satan remains as the devil but has essentially done what is said in <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=2%2Bcorinthians%2011%3A13-15">2 Corinthians 11:13&#8211;15</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.bibleopening.com/bible/passage?query=2%2Bthessalonians%202:1-4">2 Thessalonians 2:1&#8211;4</a>.</p><blockquote><p>13.
