The FIrst Footnote 1
War in Heaven
“"Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the
worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides
of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world
as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of
the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like
an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go
down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial,
because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off
from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. I will also make it a
possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the
LORD of hosts." Is 14. 3-23
“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not
known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me.
I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I
the LORD do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:5-7)
“"Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king
of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect
in beauty. 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 thou wast
created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy
mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy
ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee
as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the
stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of
thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou
hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will
