Why God Created Lucifer. Part [1] 05/01/2024 (Evening thought)

Ezekiel 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; you seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that you were created. 

There are many questions swirling around the issue of God’s decision to create Lucifer, even though God knew in advance that this particular being would at some time in the future, use his freedom of choice to cause much trouble in heaven, and later upon the earth. In trying to figure out the reasons why, some folks have stumbled in their understanding of God.

And others have ended up blaming God for all the resulting trouble, because in their minds if this angel was not created in the first place, there would have been different outcomes. Therefore, the study this evening will address squarely the reasons why God went ahead with the decision to create, beings that could, and would make trouble.

Before we delve into the study, there are certified truths and facts about God which we must grasp, as they would lay the foundation for understanding the decisions that were made by the Godhead. [1] Whatsoever God decides to do, is not only His prerogative to do so, but it is also the best thing and the right thing to do, given the circumstances. God only does that which is just, right and best.

Deuteronomy 32: 3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

What True Worship is. Part [13] 04/30/2024 (Morning thought)

Joel 3: 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Revelation 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Every person living on planet earth would have to make definite choices, and decisions, either for, or against true worship, because the mark of the beast is the counterfeit that will finally seek to coerce the conscience through economic sanctions. Therefore, let all those who desire to worship God in His capacity as Creator, now take a stand for the truth, for the Sabbath commemorates God’s work in the here and now, and will forever do so in the great hereafter. We’ll therefore end with verses from the pen of Isaiah which certify this sacred truth in stone.

Isaiah 66: 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
