...why did 33% (one in THREE) of the angels rebel against God ???
This wasn't just "one bad apple".... this was an ENTIRE group of then that REBELLED against God and tried to overthrow Him... DESPITE --->KNOWING<--- they would lose.
They KNEW they would lose (obviously)... but STILL rebelled against God anyways...
Just how BAD must Heaven be for so many to rebel against God ???
Could it be that Heaven isn't as great/desirable as we ASSUME it is ??
The Heaven IS Gods Throne.
Isa. 66:1 [
1]
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool...
I do not believe Heaven is BAD.
Quite opposite. I believe “The Heaven” is Pure Light and Perfection.
God IS The Creator, The Giver of Life, The Giver of Knowledge, The Giver of Freewill, The Giver of Understanding, and A DIVIDER.
IMO, Knowledge IS Power.
God IS All Knowing, ie. Supreme Power.
Angel-kind were created “with Knowledge”.
Man-kind is created “ignorant”.
Understanding OF ALL Knowledge, IS exclusive to God.
(The Picture I see, is same in Heaven, as on Earth, regarding, Appointments, of Certain Angels, and of Certain men, (Captains if you will), having Charge over directing other Angels and other men, with Intent of their Appointment, to Foster Gods Will.)
We are revealed, (In Scripture), a few particular Names, OF Angels, and OF men...and can Observe their “their own choice of Freewill”...and “their Appointments” appointed unto them, based on “their Freewill”.
Lucifer, (Name), One of Two, Morning Stars, (Descriptive Title) ... Revealing a “appointed” Positions, Divided from Other Called: Angel-spirit-Kind of beings.
FREEWILL...(without Understanding of Knowledge)... Lucifer decides, He would be “suitable” and “capable” TO RISE ABOVE God, and BE “in Charge” of Gods Throne. (THE Heaven).
Inanutshell...No, Lucifers’ Charge over Gods Throne, did not occur. God cast Lucifer Out of The Heaven of Gods “Kingdom”, TO Earth, (with a new name: Satan; new description Adversary OF God; Devil, Serpent, etc. while Satan was allowed to “keep” his Power” (greater than the “ignorant of knowledge”,) men OF Earth, were created and made, and would be the Occupants OF the Earth.
And THERE begins the Beginning of a Man-kind of thing. Created By Gods Hand, Made Alive By Gods Breath of Life....
Man-kind....With TWO Ears and ONE Mouth...And FREEWILL.
Fascinating really. Mankind with TWO Ears. TWO “unseen” spirits...
Each “unseen” spirit, with Full KNOWLEDGE of God, and with “power” to Influence this new “man-Kind” of thing.
This “new man-kind of thing”, fully functional to Hear, be Influenced, BY Each “unseen” spirit....and Freely Choose Which “unseen spirit” TO Trust to Believe.
The “new man-kind of thing”, fully functional “TO use his One Mouth”, TO DECLARE, “which” “unseen spirit”, the man-kind of thing...BELIEVES!
The Bottom line “RESULT” IS: A “true” Declaration by the Mouth of a mankind of thing...according to the mans own “true” word...
IS expressly, Acceptable TO the TWO “unseen” spirits, OF WHICH Man-kind of things...ARE “with” or “without”...Each of the TWO “unseen” spirits.
It is Gods WILL OF DIVISION, Effected By Gods DESIGN of His Creations (of angel-kind and man-kind of beings) to FREELY Choose or FREELY Reject God.
Has “The Heaven”, Gods “Throne”, Gods “kingdom”, become “corrupted”?
THE Heaven...No not Corrupted.
Gods Throne...No not Corrupted.
Gods “Heavenly” Kingdom...Yes Corrupted.
Gods “dry land Earth”...Yes Corrupted.
Some “angel-kind” of beings...Yes Corrupted.
Some “man-kind” of beings...Yes Corrupted.
Gods Supreme Power TO destroy Corruption, DESIRE and ABILITY TO RESTORE Corruption OF His Heavenly Kingdom, His Dry Land Earth, Free-Willing man-kind of living beings...? YES.
Gods Supreme Power and Ability to RESTORE Corrupt angel-kind beings?
Power and Ability...YES
Desire...NO.
Spot on ... Great “Knowledge” is given (by God) To created Angel-Kind spirit beings.
....”Understanding” of Gods Knowledge...IS ALSO given (by God)...”BUT” with “EXCEPTIONS”....”understanding” IS GIVEN by God, to those (angels and man)....WHOSE true Freewill election is “WITH” God....Those WHOSE Freewill election is “AGAINST” God, NO, they DO NOT receive from God, His “understanding” of His “knowledge”.
As far as THE Heaven, (Gods Estate) and Heaven(S) (Angels Estate)...
While Scripture speaks of “Heaven”, (a singular term) there ARE “DIVISIONS” of Heaven....(beyond what a mans EYE can SEE ie sky’s)
While Scripture speaks of “Earth”, (a singular term) there ARE “DIVISIONS” of Earth....(beyond what a mans EYE can SEE ie Ocean borders, Land borders, Mountain, Valley divisions, etc.)
While Gods Glory (Light, Power) is continuously Reflected FOR men TO SEE, Evil, Darkness, Corruption is continuously Reflected FOR men TO SEE...
UNTIL the DAY, God Destroys, Removes, the Corrupt and Makes Manifest to be SEEN, Only that Which IS holy.
Glory to God,
Taken
