The heaven – the throne , the earth – the footstool , the man deified
man was then the bearer of God , a dwelling of God ’ s glory . All the hosts of the angels and archangels found their rest into the man , as they were part of My glory , and the man was served by the angels like God . And I loved the man and I made him king in Eden , as I made for him a Garden of Eden over which the man was to be king . And if I made him king over Eden , he had a hidden thought , which was ministered by angels , and this hidden thought received the angels ’ ministry through the chief of the angels .
The man was made king and then he became conceited and said : « I will put my chair and I will set it above the clouds ; I will put it above the Most High ». And look , this hidden thought of the man , who was to receive the angels ’ ministry , shook the Eden and the heaven above , as the man , made out of clay , longed to ascend above his creator . And as the first angel over the hosts of the angels started , when it started to think to serve the man ’ s hidden thought , it smashed against the mountain of haughtiness which grew into the man , and the Lord did no longer feel the rest into the man , and the angels started to fall down from God ’ s face , from the honor , which they were in . And while the angels were falling down , the Lord woke up Michael and cried out through him : « Let us stay well and take good heed in fear !» And when he said „ in fear ”, the falling of the angels stopped , because of the obeying word .
Behold sons , what the man has done ! He became an occasion and a dwelling of the angels ’ falling down . As quick as the lightning was this falling of the man ; as quick as the thought , as when the man though it , the angels fell down and became satans . And what does the word satan mean ? Satan means the change of the good into the evil , and when the good turns into the evil , a fight of enmity against the good starts , and a power that is called evil is brought forth ; the power of the evil against the power of the good , of God . And look , this is how satan was made then , giving birth to an inimical power , which goes to God and accuses the man before God . This power inimical to the good was brought forth like lightning and this wicked power is called satan , but it fell down from God ’ s face , as it is written : « I saw satan having fallen like lightning from heaven ».
And after this power fell down on the earth , which earth did it fall on ? He fell in the man ; he fell upon the man and upon the man ’ s wisdom , as satan took then a serpent ’ s image and this fallen angel worked ; he worked through the serpent speaking a word of temptation enticing the man not to listen to God , so that the man may also fall , if he and his entire host fell down . Lucifer was the first angel over the angels and over the hosts of the angels and had the first host , close to the light and happiness of God ; that is he was the first ; he and his host near God ’ s throne , close to the light and happiness , children , and that is why he was called Lucifer , ( Adonis , morning star , translator ' s note .) that is light , as he took his brightness from the light of the godly happiness .
And Lucifer got angry with the man ; he blamed the man for his fall . He was the angel of God ’ s wisdom , and when the Lord rested in the man , he and host also rested together with all heavenly hosts , and his fall happened into the man , as the spirits of the angels do their work through the bodies . And Lucifer struggled to make the man fall down from heaven , and entered into a serpent and enticed the man , and since then the work inimical to the good and to the man ’ s happiness in heaven was brought forth , and the man was expelled from heaven and was put into the Sheol . But I sent My Son to become flesh and to spoil the work of satan annihilating him from everywhere and to fulfill his defeat and destruction on his coming .
