The Mystery of Iniquity and the Great Plan of God

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” – Revelation 12: 7-9

“How you are fallen from heaven,
    O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
    you who laid the nations low!
13 You said in your heart,
    ‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
    I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
    in the far reaches of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the far reaches of the pit.” – Isaiah 14:12-15

“You were the signet of perfection,
    full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
    every precious stone was your covering,
sardius, topaz, and diamond,
    beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle;
    and crafted in gold were your settings
    and your engravings.
On the day that you were created
    they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub.
    I placed you;  you were on the holy mountain of God;
    in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
    from the day you were created,
    till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of your trade
    you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;

so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
    and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,
    from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
    you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
    I exposed you before kings,
    to feast their eyes on you.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
    in the unrighteousness of your trade
    you profaned your sanctuaries;
so I brought fire out from your midst;
    it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
    in the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who know you among the peoples
    are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.” – Ezekiel 28:16-19

18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” – Luke 10:18

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’? – Genesis 3:1

The first sin, the original sin did not start on Earth and it did not come from mankind. It came out of the heart of Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, the Great Red Dragon, Apollyon, Beelzebub, Abaddon, The Serpent, The Father of Lies, the Accuser, the Adversary, the Prince of Darkness, the Prince of the Power of the Air. A “liar from the beginning…” The original sin is pride.

“Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
    you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.”

 “You said in your heart,
    ‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
    I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly”

Sin is a radicle curvature inward. Where as in the Trinity love is always outward towards the other members. It is never self seeking, never self glorifying. Each member of the Holy Triune God and Crown of Heaven are always seeking the Glory of the Other Members of the Trinity. Our God is a three strung cord that cannot be broken. The Fathers will is for the Glory of the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son fulfills the Will of the Father by the Power and to the Glory of the Holy Spirit and Father. The Holy Spirit glorifies the Son in the Hearts of mankind and searches the depths of the Father for the Glory and according to the Will of the Father.

The best analogy for the Trinity is a simple triangle. Think of each corner of the triangle and how it points outward to the other two corners. That is the Trinity, each member always pointed outward. That is the glue that keeps the Triune Crown as One, Love. God is Love. Sin is when that outward trajectory of the heart is instead turned inward towards the self.

Satan was the first Cherub of God, the first angel created to declare the Worship of the Triune God. He was created perfectly and appeared more beautiful possibly than any other angel. The mystery of iniquity is why did Satan’s heart create pride and thus sin which separated his heart from an outward action of love to that of inward selfishness? Was it that one day out of no where he realized how beautiful he was and sin was just created out of the blue like that? Or did something happen that caused that reaction?

Now we leave scripture and I propose a possibility. A “What if God…” moment so to speak like Romans 9:22. What if God, desired to create mankind, to make for His Son a Bride made of a new type of being. A being made in the image of God the Son, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, to the Glory of the Triune God according to the Will set forth by the Father. What if God announced such a joining of a multitude that themselves would be brought into the actual personal relationship of the God Head. A place above the angels, a people of God in which God himself would live and dwell.

What if Satan, hearing this news, instead of worshipping the Crown for a moment considered Himself. What if Satan considered His beauty, his status, his place in the assembly of Heaven as being first among the angels, chief of the worshippers. What if he considered his position, his power, and now the fruit of his pride, his jealousy was the first to question God. What if Satan objected, what if he threw down his instruments and spoke out to the assembly of Heaven. What if Satan by the providence of God was allowed to convince 1/3rd of heavens angels to rebel with him

What if in God’s plan for the Creation of the Bride of the Son, in His announcement of it’s creation did already account for the rebellion in Lucifer’s heart? I can assure you God has accounted for all things, for all sins, for all errors of the heart that would break the strand of love. The redemption of that separation from the God of love is itself won by God, won by Christ himself. Yeshua HaMashiach is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The King of Kings and LORD of LORD’s.

He has won us for himself to be His Bride, His People, His Body. He redeems us by the blood of His Cross, He became a man and dwelt among us and received the cup of wrath that we deserved. He saves us from the rebellion of Lucifer that was started in Heaven and brought to Earth. He saves us from sin and from death, He saves us from selfishness and jealousy. He saves us from ourselves by becoming our sin and us His righteousness. Our Atonement, our Propitiation, the Lamb of God, our Way, our Truth, our Life, our God in the Flesh, our Husband for Eternity. May His name be Blessed and may every knee bow to the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God and may we pick up the instruments that Satan threw down and carry the worship of the Triune God for ever and ever. Amen.
