Lucifer

final stage is reached when the stalk is fully ripe with grain. Thus, in this parable, Jesus was teaching His disciples that the Kingdom of God operates on a seed-plant-harvest principle! After his fall into sin and disgrace, the Word of God says of Lucifer, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”(Revelations 12:9). These are not just fancy names.…

going to say. I have forgiven him of this sin and will not shame him for it, as it is my belief that the woman was the reason he’s behaved the way he has of late. She is no longer a problem, I expect to see a difference.” He made eye contact with Lucifer as he said this, and hate burned brightly inside of the angel. “The way he…

Lucifer, the prince of dawn, and holder of light. He was an archangel and walked amongst the stones of fire, the thrones of god. Lucifer led a rebellion against God, he thought he was more beautiful than God, so he desired to be worshiped as God. 1/3rd of angels in heaven followed Lucifer's rebellion, then God cast out Lucifer, he fell like lightning from heaven. This ended the preadamic race. God judged the preadamic world by catastrophic effects, this killed every living thing. God came down…

literature, the piece follows the downfall of Lucifer, the angels who followed him, and Adam and Eve. Lucifer believe that his exceptional beauty earned him God’s favoritism. His pride, stemming from his vanity, made him feel the desire to not be controlled, not even by God himself. Pride then lead him to round up an army of “lesser” angels and wage a war against God, eventually casting him and his followers out of heaven. This same pride also kept Lucifer from seeking forgiveness even though…

of knowledge and power, condemns himself to eternal damnation. At the beginning of the play, Faustus commits blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which in Matthew 12:31 states, “will not be forgiven.” Furthermore, Faustus offers to give his soul to Lucifer if he agrees to meet Faustus’ demands. Although based on Scriptures and Faustus’ friends if he had repented, he would have been forgiven for his transgressions;…

The third stanza is centered on the question of what kind of bodily strength and skills could create the Tyger. The first two lines question “what shoulder, & what art, /Could twist the sinews of thy heart?” (9-10), which are simply asking what strength and beauty could twist the tissues of the Tyger’s heart. The next question Blake asks is “when thy heart began to beat, / What dread hand? & what dread feat?” (11-12). Here, Blake wants to know that when the Tyger’s heart began to beat, did its…

Faustus’s request, and he tells Doctor Faustus that he can be his servant only if Lucifer, the commander of the devils, agrees about it. The second time that Mephistopheles appears in the play is when he brings words that Lucifer has agreed about Doctor Faustus’s proposal if he signs the contract where he says that he will sell his soul to devil if Mephistopheles will serve to him for twenty-four years. According to Lucifer this contract should be signed by Doctor Faustus blood. After contract…

morally good world where no evil occurs (Calvin Beisne). Take Lucifer for example who was one of God’s top angels, having the responsibility of assigning different angels to worship. He didn’t want to be God’s servant any longer, he wanted to be him. Lucifer became evil, went to hell and ended up being Satan and turned good people against God. Lucifer’s free will caused him to turn into the devil. God very well could have prevented Lucifer from persuading Eve but instead he allowed it to happen…

that Dr. Faustus is ultimately destined for destruction. The knowledge that the doctor possessed far surpassed that of many men, however it was is desire for power and knowledge that was not humanly attainable, that made him sacrifice his soul to Lucifer and damn himself for eternity. The chorus describes Dr. Faustus to the reader before the play begins by acknowledging the fact the he is full of knowledge in many areas, especially theology by stating, “….In heavenly matters of theology/Till…

Albus Dumbledore is God God, Lucifer, and Jesus attending a boarding school in a Scotland castle sounds like the beginnings of a very odd joke. Yet it can be argued that this is essentially what went down in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone. Religious symbolism is heavily entrenched in this young adult movie series, as it naturally should. References to religion is often essential in any narrative that depicts the struggle between darkness and light. This is because darkness and…
