It's just the mythos around November 1st that makes people think October 31st has spiritual significance. November 1st was All Saints Day, a celebration of Christian saints when it was believed the saints would leave heaven and visit the earth in spiritual form. Thus All Hallows Eve (Halloween) naturally is born, and it was thought that demons would try to capture people and prevent the goodness of All Saints Day from happening, so you could ward off evil spirits with offerings, and if you wore different clothing the demons wouldn't recognize you and wouldn't attack, very much in line with a bride having bridesmaids (since there's multiple women in a veil and white the demon wouldn't know who to torment or take before she was wed. October 31st holds no spiritual significance. Satan and demons are just as powerful that day as every other day.
*Dear God, grant me the wisdom to manage my finances with care and responsibility. Bless me with abundance so that I may fulfill my needs and contribute to the well-being of others. Amen.*
Anakin is Adam, who is tempted by Palpatine (Satan) and suffers a kind of death as a result. Later his own son (Luke) gives him a chance of redemption through his selfless actions. 80's and 90's scifi employed a lot of christian allegory. Current movies are just lectures from purple haired feminist.

We should be humble and imitate Jesus. Jesus also wants us to seek him. When down and out and weak and weary you tend to turn to God. Believing and trusting in Jesus is true humility. Paul had a thorn in his side to keep him humble. As a disciple a major weakness for him was being boastful. I can do anything through Christ who gives me strength and Gods strength is made perfect in weakness. Those are ways to live. When Jesus says he conquered the world its perhaps my favorite thing ever. The Devil thought he was equal to his creator. One interesting theory is that Satan was jealous that God created man. So when we are humble that's when we are strong because we trust in the power of Jesus. And when we feel defeated in life we turn to God. He lifts us up especially in times of pain and suffering. Praising and worshipping God can be liberating. The lack of humility you describe in the video is a little different than the lack of humility which will lead us astray. God wants no one to perish. Hell was created for the Devil and the fallen angels and believing in Christ is the path to salvation So no human thinks they are as great as Jesus like the Devil did Yet we can be arrogant and boastful in many other ways however as long as we remain humble in knowing we are trusting in Jesus then we are strong.
I don’t understand how satan could think he was as great as god? If god created everything satin can’t! So hews he supposed to be able to relate anything but chaos? If satin was perfect how or where did evil come from? Was it always there with god? I don’t understand where evil came from?
Satan is like a prosecutor and he gives you temptation to prove to G-d that you are not good or worthy, in my opinion. That is his job. That is what he was made for. He has NO free will. He is G-d’s servant. Lucifer is not Satan.

Great video, Allen! Just FYI, the video seems to have a stuttering issue between 12:11 and 12:15. The audio completely cuts out and the video freezes. It’s not too long for you to be able to pick up on the context and know what you’re talking about though.
I heard & watched many biblical teachings & by far this is the best on Satan/devil/Lucifer. The Scripture, the points, principles, with practical applications. I love it. Thanks for this amazing video, Pastor Allen Parr. Please keep it coming.
This is a hard topic to tackle, I appreciate your diligence and especially appreciate your attention to the context of the verses cited. Misconceptions about Satan run RAMPANT today, and we need more people willing to unpack the biblical explanation to counter those fallacies built on tradition and confusion.
How is the following Bible verses reconciled with the New Testament and the Christian church when it is written that one of God's holy spirits (verses 21 & 22) puts lies in the mouth of certain prophets? Could this also have happened to the writers of the New Testament? 1 Kings 22:19-23 19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. 21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
@@mariobethell3731 Unfortunately, you’ve only replied to my comment, and not posted a general comment on the video, so you may not get many answers besides me since your question won’t be seen as easily. Only mentioning that because your question seems like one for everyone, not related just to my comment. But I’ll offer what answer I can, though I can’t claim to be an expert on Kings, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve studied it. First a little housekeeping. God is sovereign and omnipresent. We see in cases like Job that even in conditions of pain and loss, adversaries like Satan cannot act outside of God’s ordination, and we even see a similar scene where a deceptive spirit (in Job’s case,Satan) is allowed to speak to God and be in his presence. The spirit mentioned in Micaiah’s vision in Kings is never called ‘holy’, so we should also be careful not to give that title to it, lest we establish an equality to God’s character that the text hasn’t made. Additionally, Michaiah is describing a prophetic vision, and any time we’re dealing with prophecy like this, we should be careful not to get too caught up in the weeds of its literal description, prophecy’s main goal is often to make a truth clear, not necessarily narrate a physical literal event(for example, God already knows everything, audible conversation is unnecessary for His account, so conversations depicted like the one shown are there for US as readers and hearers). I don’t want to say something like “it’s all metaphor, no worries”, but just want that to be a caution given any time we dive into accounts of prophetic vision Now, let’s look at some of the context. Kings as a whole is penned during the time of Israel’s exile, in many ways as an answer to the national question of “Why would God let this exile happen to his people”, and it goes through king after king, comparing them spiritually to king David and with painfully few exceptions, they all fail and lead Israel further away from YHWH and closer to the worship of false idols and foreign gods. Ahab was among the most garbage of those kings. He was constantly chasing idols and surrounded himself with prophets who were not true to the Lord, but either mixed up in his synchronization of foreign dieties, or just told him what he wanted to hear, with no actual appeal to God himself, except what might be made for appearance only so they could claim ‘God was with them’. Ahab CONSTANTLY found himself at odds with true prophets who followed YHWH, like Elijah and Micaiah. In order to go to war, the king of Judah requested that Ahab seek the Lord’s counsel before joining him in battle. All Ahab’s ‘prophets’ said “You got this, Ahab, God is so dang happy with you”, but Judah’s king follows up by specifically asking if there was a prophet of YHWH in the land. This tells us that Ahab’s cabinet of prophets was not following the same God, in a way that was somehow clear to Judah’s king(who was one of the few ‘good, God-fearing’ kings in the book, fun fact). Then Micaiah shows up as the prophet of the true God, and gives this vision as an explanation as to why all of Ahab’s ‘prophets’ are wrong, while his prophecy of Ahab failing and dying is correct. So we have true prophets that God is speaking through, and false prophets that are claiming to have divine revelation, when God isn’t actually speaking to them. Verses like Dueteronomy 18:22 tell us that the sign of a true prophet is that what they proclaim comes to pass, while false prophets speak presumptuously and inevitably are incorrect, even if a blind squirrel may find a nut sometimes. Now with God being sovereign, he’s choosing to speak truth through the prophets that honor and follow him, while not extending that privilege to prophets that reject him or seek to build themselves up. So almost poetically, the prophets whose own spirits are characterized by lies, indeed receive deceptive spirits instead of true revelation. Is this because God arbitrarily decides to lie to some people to make his decisions happen? By no means. Those who seek lies find exactly what they were looking for. These were not prophets who were just ‘doing their best’ or ‘doing the wrong things with the right intentions’. They were enemies of God, claiming to speak for him while helping an evil king to lead God’s people deeper into forbidden idol-worship, replacing the God of truth with false pretenses and damnation. In effect, this is like the Tower of Babel account, but instead of confounding their spoke language, he confounds their prophetic visions, because the gods they sought vision from were already lies and cheap knockoffs with no real power to make their prophecies come true. Michaiah’s vision attempts to give some explanation to the strange and complicated spiritual workings that we only see evidence of in our daily life, but there’s still much that is hard for us to unpack. God Himself does not lie. But lies exist, and God is sovereign. Those that seek after lies are often permitted to find them. God warns about this throughout scripture, so when those that rebel against God find lies and deception, God’s actually being true to the word of warning He’s already given. Contrast this with prophecies coming from those that rightly seek the Lord, and you see a very different pattern, characterized by God being true to HIS word as He has promised to be. Additionally, whereas we see here that a prophet of God comes and rebukes the false prophets, the books within the Bible continually AFFIRM each other, so we see the Holy Spirit inspiring one writer, and then in another place the Holy Spirit inspires another writer to support what was written previously, piling truth upon truth instead of someone later pointing out ways the old prophets were wrong. I hope this helps a bit.
@@mariobethell3731 You are a fool trying to destroy faith... Didn't you read the passage?? Was Micaiah not a true prophet of God and did he not tell King Ahab precisely that he was being deceived by these fake prophets and how? So if the King had listened to the true prophet of God he wouldn't have been killed? And can you tell me where the lying spirit in the passage is said to be holy? You're the only one here who is deceived by a lying spirit.
HOW COULD GOD JESUS FORGIVE **SATAN/LUCIFER AS A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; WHEN THE FATHER OF SATAN IS A LIAR; A MURDERER; A COVETEOUS BEING; AND A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED ALL OPPOSITE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? IT LIKE YE FORGIVING A LION AFTER HE BITS YE AND STILL LIVE WITH THE LION; THEN NEXT THE LION WILL EAT YE.... YE ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND SATAN WAS BORN/SOWN INTO THE WORLD OF CREATION AFTER ADAM DECEIVED AND BETRAYED GOD JESUS IN THE BEGINNING; FOR THIS WAS THE SIN OF ADAM TO OBEY SATAN THE CUNNING BEAST SEED AND THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE WOMAN THE DEVIL; FOR ADAM AND EVE ARE BOTH ALMIGHTY FLESH OF THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF THE DEVIL/WOMAN; THIS IS WHY EVE DECEIVED ADAM BECAUSE OF THE GENES AND SEED OF THE DEVIL ALMIGHTY FLESH. THE SAME FOR SATAN THAT IS WHY HE CHALLENGED GOD JESUS IN HEAVEN BECAUSE SATAN IS THE ALMIGHTY ***SON OF THE DECEIVER; BLASPHEMER AND BETRAYER THE DRAGON; CUNNING BEAST SEED OF CREATION. THIS IS WHY SATAN WAS A BEAUTY BECAUSE HE IS THE WHITE ALMIGHTY SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION. THEN GREATEST OF ALL THIS IS WHY TODAY 2024 **THE WHITE SUPREMACY SEED OF CREATION ARE ALL SATAN MALES/FEMALES. WE COULD ALL SEE THE REALITY AND TRUTH OF CREATION IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE 2024 YEARS AGO FATHER OF ADORATION WAS CAESAR NOT GOD THE FATHER OR GOD JESUS. SO LET US FACE THE FACTS GOD JESUS CONQUERED DEATH AND FORGAVE YE ALL WHITE SUPREMACY SATAN MALES/FEMALES; FOR WHAT YE SOW THAT YE SHALL REAP. FOR TAKE A SIMPLE EXAMPLE THE GREAT USA WHITE SUPREMACY ADMINISTRATION KNOWS TO A FACT ***THE COMMANDMENTS SOWN THOU SHALL NOT KILL; BUT STILL SUPPLING ISRAEL WITH ARMS AND WEAPONS; SAME AS THE WHITE SUPREMACIES OF SATAN MALES AND FEMALES IN RUSSIA. SO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND GET THE REALITY OF WHO IS SATAN AND WHO SATAN CAME FROM NOT; NEVER GOD
That same logic, could also be used with Jesus. When he told Peter he was going to build his church on that rock. And then he said, “get behind me Satan.” Most Protestants use that as a reason why Peter couldn’t be the one who leads the church. He wasn’t worthy. But, it was Satan who put doubt in Peter, and Jesus wasn’t talking to Peter, but to Satan for putting the doubt in him. And thus, the church was built, still, through Peter.
About a decade ago, my pride started getting out of control while doing God's work ON CHURCH GROUNDS! I do not blame God AT ALL for throwing me down like lightning from my position like He did to Satan lol. I've come to realize what an abomination my attitude was and how serious of a sin I was committing in front of God. Although I am in so much misery, I admit that I 100% deserve this punishment. And it's not just punishment, my Heavenly Father is lovingly disciplining me. Amidst my misery, He found me and reached out His compassionate and loving hand towards me. The Holy Spirit came and wiped out everything out of my life that did not belong, addictions, people, etc. and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. I am so incredibly grateful to God that He has humbled me and stopped me sooner rather than later, it just proves to me how much He loves me and cares for me. The Holy Spirit has been guiding me and teaching me a lot lately and I'm so incredibly happy about that and so incredibly honored. I am so incredibly unworthy, but God still does everything in His power to not let me perish😢.
Thank you, Brother Allen. We as Christians definitely have to be able to recognize pride in ourselves and stay before the Lord. God bless you and continue to let God use you.😊
What a blessing to have learned teachers here on earth. I read and listen to my Bible. I get confused even though I have prayed for discernment. Thank you Yahweh ❤
@DiscipleDave But the Holy Spirit works through people (Acts 20:28 plus a HOST of other Scriptures)... So what you're saying is just false. Even the written Bible itself is a testament to the Lord using PEOPLE to share the truth. Paul wrote all his letters to teach others, and more than that, even his oral teaching was also the word of God. The key is being able to discern who is of the Holy Spirit and who is not. You don't just trust no one and go with "what the Holy Spirit says to me in my head", that's how you end up with the disunity of the Protestant branch of Christianity.
Thank you brother Allen, for being the example and pushing us to start our own ministry. On this channel, I pray that the gospel poetry I share touches hearts in a way our Father in heaven will be proud of.
Excellent teaching! I have been following you for the past 3-4 years and have had a few differences but we have come to an understanding of love priority. Really enjoy and learn from your teaching. A few months back you changed positions on a controversial subject with such grace and love and want to commend you for the way you handled this teaching. I truly admire you and thank you for your ministry. In His Rest!
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” -ISAIAH chapter 45 verse 7 (ISAIAH 45:7) HOLY BIBLE KJV
That’s correct if we go by this translation. Then consider that many have legions making this hard to understand. Now, other literal translations are translated like this. (Revelation 9:16 MLV) And the number of the armies of the horsemen are tens of thousands of tens of thousands {i.e. an infinite number} . I heard the number of them.

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 🙏

Lucifer should have been thankful for what he had instead of desiring for greater. Lucifer should have been humble instead of being prideful. To be Honest; If I was Lucifer I would have felt so lucky as to be the most beautiful angel. I would have chosen to be Loyal to God
This was a powerful video! Thank you Pastor Allen for the many deep topics and insights that God called you to share with us! Keep at it, because we need you bro. 😎💯
My mother and I just talked about this on yesterday and I just so happen to stumble across this video. Thank you for explaining this and providing biblical reference. 👍🏾
Thank you for sharing this teaching and this video. I’ve never heard the “story of Satan”, except in a very rudimentary way. I believe I have a more robust understanding now of Lucifer and the lessons we can learn from his story. I continue to pray for you, Brother Parr. Thank you for all you do! 💛
It is good but also incomplete. While pride did lead to the devils fall, it was mainly the devils jealously of man that was the real kicker. He didn’t like or understand Gods love for simple creatures such as man. In addition, due to the love and mercy of God, Satan was not expelled for years and I was given ample time to change
I’ve thought about that a lot.. if we go to Heaven as Christian’s which we are promised that and we expect that but that’s why I keep telling myself Heaven is perfect but it’s not like some ppl think it’s not “our perfect Heaven “ it’s God’s Kingdom 👑 not OURS! We are servants of his and get to celebrate his glory right along side him but we all have to remember we could always still fall, we’re not there forever if we don’t obey right?! Or am I wrong. Will we not know sin anymore? Honestly is something I get a bit confused about rn .. I’m trying to research more on this
The bible is silent about many questions we have. The history of the devil is one of them. The bible never says Lucifer became Satan. Neither Lucifer nor Satan is a name. Isaiah was written in Hebrew. I think we should just take the passages as they are and not add extra interpretations to it. The prophets are making taunts on the respective Kings in these passages. And we should glean to see how these description describes them. Is Rev 12 a past or future event? In summary, the only way to come to the conclusion of the history of the devil from these passages is purely on church tradition and not a direct and contextual interpretation of the sacred volume.
This was great! Thanks! I also love how additional details about this and the war in heaven was revealed in great clarity over 200 years ago to a modern prophet. Lucifer's pride was to try and take the Father's glory. He rebelled against God's plan, sought to replace Christ, destroy the moral agency of man, and take God's glory because of it. Due to his rebellion, he was cast out, and pursued 1/3 of heaven to follow.
Nobody ever asks questions here. If the angels (including Lucifer) were created before the beginning then how was Lucifer created with all the precious stones (which did not exist before the creation of the earth)?? And why are we pretending Isaiah, Ezekiel and Revelation are all referring to the same person, cause no one name was used for him in all three places?? Also, isn't it funny how the sin of pride was found in a being that God created to be perfect?? Did God intentionally create him with pride and lied about the perfection, or was it an oversight on God's part?? It's interesting how you're reading verbatim and still drawing conclusions that are not rooted in what you're reading
Brother, this is an excellent video! Holy Spirit worked mightily in you with this one! So many people have wondered and have asked where did all this evil come from, and our beloved Friend allowed you to answer in a most sincere way. Well done, and great listening!
There is no hidden Biblical story. You just understand the Bible incorrectly because you have grown up in a society that teaches incorrectly. The word satan just means "accuser" or "adversary". It has never been used to represent some celestial being (some depict as having red skin with horns and carrying a pitchfork). You just won't find that in the Bible. Remember when Jesus called Peter by the word satan? Does that mean Peter is actually satan the way western civilization sees satan? Of course not. The word lucifer is only found once in the Bible. It is in the book of Isaiah and just means morning star. Read the passage in context and who it was written to. That gives the answer right there. God was talking about the king of babylon and His wishes for the king. Its so simple. No need to make it harder. No need to try to find some hidden thing. It is right there.
There's a misconception of Satan if he is a he. In Ezekiel 28, Lucifer is the most beautiful angel God had created. Visualize the description. Lucy-fer is just like Jenny-fer, a female name. Knowing the enemy is winning half the battle.
Very helpful Mr. Parr. I feel guilty because I allow my 19 year old to taste my mixed drink and I allowed her to in front of the younger kids. I pray God will forgive me. I haven't been living the life God wants me to live lately and I really want to be restored so that I can live for him.

Always remember this pattern, 1) Conflict is always between islam vs other religions 2) Other islamic countries will not accept those affected muslims as their refugees, but they somehow sneak into non-islamic countries. (Russia, whole EU problem with refugees: France, Germany, Spain etc., India divided into 3+ countries, Iran was not an islamic state initially) 3) once they are into non-islamic countries, they create separate laws and try to break that country too. Stay strong Israel 🇮🇱
I myself? View the world around me and just how awful it is and how people are making everything far much worse for themselves! Not giving a single care or anything! No wonder! In fact! Many people have turned away from God! So? In the End? I’ll be laughing in their faces from Heaven
I have heard this taught my whole life. It's not that I don't believe that Satan exists, but I find it hard to connect the dots between these scriptures and the being we've come to know as "Lucifer". But this word we have adopted as a name for Satan is a result of multiple iterations of translation from the original text in Hebrew (helel or halal), to Greek, then Latin all of which refer to the planet Venus as the morning star, light-bearer, or dawn-bringer. Pagan leaders have a long history of considering themselves gods and even associating themselves with celestial objects. So how do we make that leap from the Bible explicitly stating that the passage in Isaiah refers to the king of Babylon to taking a single phrase "morning star" and making it a proper name "Lucifer" and assigning it to Satan? I struggle with the connection. It seems that if we applied that same practice to any other part of the Bible, it would be considered heresy. Please understand my heart, I'm not here to be a troll. I sincerely want to know why we accept these things as part of our faith. I think too many Christians, myself included for a very long time, have just accepted what has been taught from one generation to the next without making our own efforts to dig in to the actual source material. I welcome your thoughts on this.
Unpopular opinion. If you do biblical scholarly work, you'll realise that Lucifer is not his name (it refers to the morning star, Venus. Isaiah in chapter 14 uses the planet Venus as an analogy of the star that shines bright in the morning. The original morning star is Jesus himself). Satan is not his personable name (he refers to the opposer, Jesus, called Peter "satan"). Same with the devil (the accuser). They are titles. The enemy's name is not revealed in the bible. The key to understanding this topic is to study the original language or texts in the OT and the NT. Please do your research. Don't build an expectation to be spoonfed on theological topics. Do your due diligence in everything God-centred. I encourage debate and discussion around this. I'm not dogmatic around this. But the truth needs to be said, with love being the goal.
I commented something similar myself. Even the Angel of the Lord (who is the pre-incarnate Son of God) is said to act as "Satan" in Numbers 22:22, showing that the term "satan" can be used for other entities besides the devil. You need to look into the Hebrew to see this. However it is also clear in Scripture that the term "Satan" can be what we believers call the devil and refer to him by (and in that way be his name). Also I looked into the Latin of Revelation 22:16, and whilst Jesus is the "bright morning star", it doesn't say lucifer there. Where it does say lucifer however is in 2 Peter 1:19, where "lucifer" is said to rise in all believers' hearts! Apparently we should all be reading this as Satan rising in our hearts... (smh) Again very clear that Isaiah 14 isn't about Satan at all, and as you said, it's so important to do your own research in this and actually look at the passages in context.
@@MrOlu109 interesting. Is the Book of Revelation initially written in Latin? Also agree on the Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Christ. It was mindblowing when I came across that.
@@mutsvaiv No it's written in Greek the same as all of the New Testament. But the word "lucifer" is a borrowed word from Latin, it's not Hebrew. So even though that's the word that we see in the KJV and NKJV of Isaiah 14:12, it's not original to the text. I was only saying that in the Latin copies of Revelation, they don't use the word "lucifer" in Revelation 22:16. But they do use it in 2 Peter 1:19. Yes I learnt that our Lord Jesus is the Old Testament Angel of the Lord fairly recently myself. It was also a unanimous belief among the early church fathers. Have you heard of Sam Shamoun btw? I've been learning from him and he has definitely been gifted by the Spirit to teach the Scriptures. He goes to levels I haven't experienced elsewhere on UA-cam, let alone in church on a Sunday.
@@tylerknight1515 Perfectly made doesn't mean there is no potential to sin. To not have the potential to sin, means that you cannot choose to sin. But if you cannot choose to sin and do wrong, you also can't choose to love and do right either. You'd just be a mindless robot doing what you've been programmed to do. But God didn't want that. Instead, God wanted a family of angelic and human creatures who would truly love Him and worship Him in spirit and truth. And so for the sake of love, He made His creatures perfectly but with the potential to choose Him or not choose Him freely. And that means the potential to sin.
First i want to say i agree with most of the things yout alk about, however in this instance i have to say it is NOT BIBLICAL that Lucifer is Satan, Lucifer is only mentioned in the KJV, and in the footnote it says lit star of the morning, son of the dawn or words to that affect, if that is the literal translation and other versions dont have the name Lucifer then how can we say Lucifer is a being at all? Even in the passage whereby lucifer is mentioned the context of that chapter is talking about the King of Babylon
Before Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven by the way? He was Cast into Hell! In my belief? I think that we will all face this obstacle, we are born Sinners! No matter how many times we dedicate ourselves to scriptures or the Church and belief! We will face this challenge
Why do I seem to be the only one with questions? Did God create this Lucifer? Where was the iniquity that was found in him when God was creating him? Why throw him to us humans, God who knows everything? These things baffle me
This was wonderful to watch, Allen! Thank you so much! I watched this in conjunction with my personal quiet time today :) I felt like I was watching a professor give a lecture, in the best way possible! Your background in teaching definitely comes through ❤️
There is noone who does everything all the time that leads others to, and not awsy from God. Noone. Dont expect that. Humans are deeply flawed, and sinful. Trust only Jesus. Amen.
Thank you, brother Allen whenever you tell a story in the Bible, it is easy for me to use my imagination. You really can tell a story and thank you for recommending the daily audio Bible. It is great between you and Bryan. I believe my Bible study have gone to the next level
You are in error because you misconstrued the scriptures, an Angel of Light cannot fall from Grace, because the Angel of Light is the light of the living god, what you are saying now is that the light of the living God is corruptible light, but God's light is incorruptible, therefore, Satan did not fall from heaven, a spirit being cannot fall from himself he cannot change from this to that he is spirit, the spirit of light cannot become the spirit of Darkness, and the spirit of Darkness cannot become the spirit of light, spirit remains what it is therefore you are in error you misconstrued the scriptures, it is talking of the spirit of man when God made man the Pinnacle of creation and his Beauty but he fell from this Beauty, only man can fall from Grace.

@@casenswartz7278 so scholars are infallible? Scholars and people with degrees get things wrong all the time. I don’t need to prove anything. I’m not making the claim that the Bible has some hidden subplot. Isaiah 14:3-23 is about the King of Babylon and no one else.
I find it incredible that angels who fully understand who God is would rebel against him in the first place and that angels must also have free will to make that decision. God being the Alpha and Omega knew when he created angels that a third would rebel against him which just leads to more questions for me. Did Angels really have free will or were they created specifically to rebel against God? Was Lucifer created perfect so his pride would lead to his downfall? If these rebelling angels and Lucifer were created specifically to rebel is it fair that they will be punished for eternity for their sins?
Thank you Mr Allen for the powerful revelation concerning Lucifer. But the controversial question is: how was Lucifer persuaded/influenced to sin if God created him to be Holy and perfect??
A similar question would be asking how could Adam sin if he was made perfect? I think the answer to this question and yours would be the same: Being made perfect doesn't mean that you can't sin. What it means is that there is no sin in you when you are created. However with the ability to love comes the ability to choose. Love isn't really love if I can't choose not to love. Choosing not to love God would be sin, but I would need to make the choice of my own free will in order to truly love Him. So the ability to choose (free will) is what gives the potential to sin, even though Adam/Satan weren't made with sin in them.
@MrOlu109 There's a clear difference adam and lucifer. Lucifer was created as a perfect holy angel who resided in heaven while Adam was created on earth. When you are holy and created to be perfect, having freewill doesnt make you sin unless there's an external influence that could have tempted lucifer like the way the serpent tempted Eve
@@MrPM779 In Genesis 3:6 Eve saw the tree was to be desired to make one wise, which was a direct transgression of the commandment she'd been given. Did that desire come from within her before she sinned, or from the external influence of the devil alone? If that desire came from within her before she sinned, why can't an evil desire rise up in Satan before he sinned?
@@MrPM779 Why in your mind does there need to be a tempter in order for you to sin? Sin began in Satan with his own evil desires and pride. As the Lord said, it's not what is outside that defiles but what is inside, for out of the heart comes all sorts of evil. So I'm not sure exactly why you seem to think that Satan couldn't fall of his own accord? Do you not think that Adam and Eve were created perfect and holy, just as Satan was?
There is no way that anyone who would die would ascend straight into Heaven! There’s no guarantee on this! So I think we can accept this fact and fate! You or I or your Pastor or anyone! Will not be Perfect
Very well done and accurate study. My only comment is that based on Lucifer’s feats & attributes as described in the scriptures. He seems to be so much more than just an angel. He seems to be a unique entity that is vastly more powerful than any angel.
I’ve been skeptical that Lucifer is another name for Satan because it is only found in king James and new king James and as (far as I know) it is a transliteration from Latin meaning day star/morning star. Some would argue that Isaiah 14 is used sarcastically against the king of Babylon but I’m not sure where I stand on this. I would like to look into it more.
This is exactly right... Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are examples of God mocking these earthly kings who think of themselves higher than they ought to. There is other evidence of God mocking others in Scripture (Wisdom of God mocks scoffers and people who don't listen in Proverbs 1:26 and Psalm 2:4 are examples) Lucifer is a Latin word, not original to the text, and lucifer is said to rise in our hearts in the latin translation of 2 Peter 1:19. So the term "lucifer" cannot refer to Satan either.
Pride is and will always be the biggest hurdle one must overcome to be closer to God. Lucifer wants to be God, but led him to be farthest from God. As we also often do when we worship ourselves to be the god of our lives.
But Lucifer did not become Satan in the real sense. Lucifer was ascribed to both Satan and Jesus Christ in the Latin Vulgate bible in Isaiah 14 and 2 Peter 1:19 respectively. If Morning star, Daystar, light bearer and Light bringer were replaced by Lucifer which referred to Jesus according to 2 Peter 1:19 (Goggle search "2 Peter 1:19 Latin Vulgate ") why would the use of Lucifer in the same Latin Vulgate in Isaiah 14 be referring to Satan? It was KJV that made the mistake of Calling the Lucifer in Isaiah 14 Satan when the passage, in fact, has nothing to do with Satan but an earthly King. Remember that KJV was translated from the Latin Vulgate bible. Failure to understand Isaiah 14 by the interpreters using the Latin Vulgate made them translate Lucifer to Satan. Isaiah 14 is about the King of Babylon (an earthly king) but not Satan.
Throw away anything influenced by the Roman Catholic Church! Life will be much easier for you. They are the reason Satan got his foot through the church!
The way this question about Satan got revealed to me was when I was Re-Born, I had a lot of questions, like how was this universe created, where did all of this start? Why are we here? All of these questions I feel like was answered. Here is how it was shown to me. There was another world before this universe ever was created and that world was named "The City of God" and all that was created up to that point all lived in this city, well God has a chain of command just like anyone else of a King standards, So Lucifer was 2nd in command and Lucifer was the most beautiful of all creations and was honor as such, then this holding Lucifer up on a pedestal this set in Pride within Lucifer, then Lucifer started to think that he deserved some of God's Glory, (It is written Glory be to God and no one else is worthy of God's glory) so Lucifer thought as himself as an equal to God then Justice said this has to be tested, and that test instantly turned Lucifer into Satan, then Satan pursued 1/3 of all that was created to side with him in over throwing God. God has truth, Love, Justice within his spirit so then Justice said all this has to be tested or none of them are justified so all must perish. Long story short this world was created to test principles between God vs Satan to see which King will have the Kingdom.
Oh man, I was really hoping you wouldn't push this false narrative. So a couple things that make this argument entirely wrong. Much like the passage in Isaiah that mentions "Lucifer" (Lucifer is neither Satan, nor even a name) this passage is talking about the fall of a once great and powerful king. In this case the king of tyre. It's very much written as a sarcastic, roast against this king. We know this passage is talking about a man and not an angel or fallen angel etc because it goes out of it's way at least 3 times in verses 2, 9 and others to say he is not a god, but merely a man. There's no mistaken it. All the verses you cited claiming it's not a man are using poetic imagery and metaphors to get the point across . The verse about being in the garden of Eden, is a reference to Adam and how he fell into sin. It was drawing a comparison between the king and Adam. Furthermore, he does not have access to God's throne. In fact, God goes on to say he doesn't. Again it was a reference to the ego of this king who thought to be as high as the Most High, and God had to cast him down. Almost a 1 to 1 parallel to the King of Babylon in Isaiah that everyone mistakenly equates to Satan. And if that weren't enough, the entire context of this passage is talking the king of tyre which is one of the Oracles, where each Oracle is speaking specifically of a physical earthly man and geographical location. It would make absolutely no sense to all a sudden switch gears to speak about an angelic being under the guise of a king. All the verses talking about his perfect beauty and jewels etc, again is just poetic imagery to emphasize how powerful this king once was, but got too arrogant and cocky, and fell from grace. This passage has nothing to do with a fallen angel. Neither does Isaiah. Again, it's just Parallel passage talking about the fall of a once great King of Babylon. Lucifer is not a name of anybody, and it certainly isn't the name of Satan. Lucifer is a translation of a Latin word elel that simply means light bearer or bringer. It's a reference to Venus or the morning Star, which is what the king of Babylon was compared to. Also, Lucifer is only found in the KJV and NKJV So again, not only is Lucifer not Satan, but it's not a proper name of anybody. Isaiah and Ezekiel are merely stories about two Kings who had it all, and fell from grace due to their pride. Nowhere in either passage is there any indication without forcing an outside ideology, that would suggest either passages are about angelic beings, let alone Satan. And the real kicker is these two passages are where 90% of the origin story of Satan comes from. Once you realize these passages aren't about Satan, and aren't his origin story, you start to realize most of what we're told about Satan is pure fan fiction. Satan is not anything like who or what we've been told. After all, Satan (saw-tawn) is simply the Hebrew word for adversary. There are many adversaries or "satans" in the Bible including the Angel of the Lord, Peter, and God Himself. It's almost as if we've attributed all of the examples of a fallen spirit, adversary, enemy, false accuser etc etc to one single boogyman villain, capitalized the 'S' and call him Satan... Just my hot take.
You're totally right. Those verses are taken out of context. We don't see Satan in the Tanakh besides the book of Zechariah. It's only after Jesus that Satan becomes a big deal. The Lake of Fire is not a thing in the Old Testament either. It's like after God sent Jesus there were a lot of changes. In Luke 10 Jesus mentions "Satan falling from the sky like lightning" but that's all He says. He doesn't quote Isaiah. He could have, but he didn't. But for some people that's enough to take those verses of Isaiah out of context. Even though Hillel Ben Shachar and Satan are completely different characters.
Thank you for the helpful insight. One thing I’ve learned though is that Lucifer is not his name. It’s a false English translation of the Hebrew word Heylel meaning, Star of the Morning, Light Bringer. From my understanding the name Lucifer was given falsely by Saint Jerome when a competing scribe Saint Lucifer was also translating. Jerome attributed the word Heylel to His competitor almost out of spite or jealousy no one will truly know the intent. But Lucifer is not the devil’s name
In the scriptures you state did they were given instructions from God to make statements about specific Kings about a king or kings. Where does it say that Lucifer is the power behind any of these Kings? Please tell me the verse.
Read Luk. 4:5-6. Satan shows Christ all the kingdoms of this world, and he tells Christ that God gave him total authority over those kingdoms. Satan is able to rule this world by deceiving it(Rev. 12:9). That especially includes human rulers.
The reason you don’t see Satan is because he is God in the Old Testament. What would it look like is Satan took the throne of God on earth? After all, he wanted to be like God. The result is the Old Testament. Those actions and behaviors are not of God. That is someone looking to make a statement with violence and destruction.
There's a theory of how and when Satan Fell from Heaven. According to this theory, Satan became jealous of God's relationship with Adam and Eve. Satan wanted to become worshiped instead of God.
Around min 12:10, the video stops abruptly while you are teaching about the fact that hell was originally created for Satan and his demons, but it is also the destination of souls who follow Satan in his rebellion. You had just posed the question: What does that mean for us? and the video then sticks and the audio stops for about 5 secs, but it kind of picks up right where you left off. Wasn't sure if you realized that or not and it belies your high level of professionalism that I've become accustomed to. That imperfection notwithstanding, this really blessed me. Thank you for consistently being His willing vessel. God bless you and your wife and family. Shalom to you all.
Thanks, Allen. Praise God. To anyone who may be dealing with the past, the future, or existential dread - I want to tell you that God is big enough to defeat that with His Love. There is nothing realer than God and His Love. Put your eyes on Jesus. Submit to God and put your trust in Him, you can't do anything about your situation through worry. God is assuring and He Loves you. Come. ❤
Lucifer is not the name of Satan. Lucifer is a Latin word meaning morning star. Where this name came around is those who translated the Bible from Greek Latin and not Hebrew. Jesus also calls himself the Morning Star in Revelations 22. The book of Isaiah in chapter 14 vers 12 said Heyella in Hebrew not Lucifer. The cult of Lucifer came around when the story called Paradise Lost came out in 1647 written by John Melton. All your English Bibles that were translated from latin to english have the name Lucifer in it. Now if you go to a Bible like the ESV that is trainslated from Hebrew Isaiah 14:12 does not say Lucifer and you turn to Leviticus 16:6-10 you will see that they put Azazel back in who was a Devil a Satan in the Apocrypha. Aaron sacrificed two goats one to the Lord and one to Azazel. The name Lucifer does not exist in Hebrew text. We as christens need to look at Revelations 20 where it says the Serpent, the Devil who is Satan. Yep that is 3 he is trying to be like God. Allen a good question for you is why are we still using Lucifer as Satans name if it is a Greek Latin word and not Hebrew. Also if it means Morning Star and Jesus calls himself the Morning Star are we not calling Jesus the devil? I think this name does not belong to Satan at all. He is tricking you with a cover up in the greek translations.
Thank you Brother Allen, this is an extremely informative video. Since I thought about life and God's creation as a whole, including angels and demons, Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel, and the devil or satan, after I became a Christian in 1989, I believed it to be the way you explained. However, I could never tell anybody WHY I believed it and certainly did not have the theological knowledge to explain it. This is great! Perhaps you should do a series on angels, seraphim, serabim, cherubs, and what those words mean, and what the roles of the different beings are, what it means in our lives, and what our position is in relation to them before God. That would be something I would enjoy tremendously.
What is your stance on Aliens? Now that former intelligence agents have come forward with their story, what are your thoughts on that from a biblical stand point? I have had several people ask me recently and I have nothing to say. 😵💫 help!!
@@00naenae ok, that doesn't really tell me anything, and it doesn't even line up in any practical sense. God is immortal. Who else is immortal, angels, or men? God is holy. Who else is holy, angels, or men? God is pure. Who else is pure, angels, or men? God is light. Who else is light, angels, or men? If we're the ones made in God's image, why are the angels the ones living in heaven with God while we are down here on the earth? To me, this doesn't make sense. So when you say we're made in God's image, in what way do you mean? Can you state it plainly?
Angels were created with free will, just like human beings were. Angels and human beings were created with free will because God intended both species to develop His character within them. That would not be possible if He created robots who were merely programmed to do it. A being has to be able to _willingly_ choose to obey God and submit to His authority. However, the catch with free will is that said being can also choose to disobey God.
Join me in this prayer. Pray God’s will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. Pray God protects and blesses the children. Pray for the truth to be revealed. Pray God lifts the scales from the lukewarm and lost eyes, opens their ears and soften their hearts. Pray God strengthens His children, gives them more discernment, pours more Fire on them and wakes them up. Pray the end times harvest will increase. Pray God exposes the evil people and brings them to justice. Pray for repentance to fall upon and sweep across America. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem 🌎

I love that you released this on Oct 31, which is a very important day for the forces of darkness. Shine the light!
Great comment!
It's just the mythos around November 1st that makes people think October 31st has spiritual significance.
November 1st was All Saints Day, a celebration of Christian saints when it was believed the saints would leave heaven and visit the earth in spiritual form.
Thus All Hallows Eve (Halloween) naturally is born, and it was thought that demons would try to capture people and prevent the goodness of All Saints Day from happening, so you could ward off evil spirits with offerings, and if you wore different clothing the demons wouldn't recognize you and wouldn't attack, very much in line with a bride having bridesmaids (since there's multiple women in a veil and white the demon wouldn't know who to torment or take before she was wed.
October 31st holds no spiritual significance. Satan and demons are just as powerful that day as every other day.
And shine bright like a star! 🙏🏼

If memory serves me correctly, I think George Lucas was inspired by Joseph Campbell and "The Hero's Journey".
Anakin is Adam, who is tempted by Palpatine (Satan) and suffers a kind of death as a result. Later his own son (Luke) gives him a chance of redemption through his selfless actions. 80's and 90's scifi employed a lot of christian allegory. Current movies are just lectures from purple haired feminist.

The Bible says the enemy fell from Heaven like lightning. Light travels 186,000 miles/sec, lightning travels 270,000 mph. Pick one. Doesn't matter, the message is God hit him so hard! 😂😂😂😂😂
We should be humble and imitate Jesus. Jesus also wants us to seek him.
When down and out and weak and weary you tend to turn to God. Believing and trusting in Jesus is true humility. Paul had a thorn in his side to keep him humble.
As a disciple a major weakness for him was being boastful.
I can do anything through Christ who gives me strength and Gods strength is made perfect in weakness. Those are ways to live. When Jesus says he conquered the world its perhaps my favorite thing ever. The Devil thought he was equal to his creator. One interesting theory is that Satan was jealous that God created man.
So when we are humble that's when we are strong because we trust in the power of Jesus.
And when we feel defeated in life we turn to God. He lifts us up especially in times of pain and suffering. Praising and worshipping God can be liberating. The lack of humility you describe in the video is a little different than the lack of humility which will lead us astray.
God wants no one to perish. Hell was created for the Devil and the fallen angels and
believing in Christ is the path to salvation
So no human thinks they are as great as Jesus like the Devil did
Yet we can be arrogant and boastful in many other ways however as long as we remain humble in knowing we are trusting in Jesus then we are strong.
I don’t understand how satan could think he was as great as god? If god created everything satin can’t! So hews he supposed to be able to relate anything but chaos? If satin was perfect how or where did evil come from? Was it always there with god? I don’t understand where evil came from?
Great video.

Satan is like a prosecutor and he gives you temptation to prove to G-d that you are not good or worthy, in my opinion. That is his job. That is what he was made for. He has NO free will. He is G-d’s servant. Lucifer is not Satan.

This is a hard topic to tackle, I appreciate your diligence and especially appreciate your attention to the context of the verses cited. Misconceptions about Satan run RAMPANT today, and we need more people willing to unpack the biblical explanation to counter those fallacies built on tradition and confusion.
How is the following Bible verses reconciled with the New Testament and the Christian church when it is written that one of God's holy spirits (verses 21 & 22) puts lies in the mouth of certain prophets? Could this also have happened to the writers of the New Testament?
1 Kings 22:19-23
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
@@mariobethell3731 Unfortunately, you’ve only replied to my comment, and not posted a general comment on the video, so you may not get many answers besides me since your question won’t be seen as easily. Only mentioning that because your question seems like one for everyone, not related just to my comment. But I’ll offer what answer I can, though I can’t claim to be an expert on Kings, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve studied it.
First a little housekeeping. God is sovereign and omnipresent. We see in cases like Job that even in conditions of pain and loss, adversaries like Satan cannot act outside of God’s ordination, and we even see a similar scene where a deceptive spirit (in Job’s case,Satan) is allowed to speak to God and be in his presence. The spirit mentioned in Micaiah’s vision in Kings is never called ‘holy’, so we should also be careful not to give that title to it, lest we establish an equality to God’s character that the text hasn’t made. Additionally, Michaiah is describing a prophetic vision, and any time we’re dealing with prophecy like this, we should be careful not to get too caught up in the weeds of its literal description, prophecy’s main goal is often to make a truth clear, not necessarily narrate a physical literal event(for example, God already knows everything, audible conversation is unnecessary for His account, so conversations depicted like the one shown are there for US as readers and hearers). I don’t want to say something like “it’s all metaphor, no worries”, but just want that to be a caution given any time we dive into accounts of prophetic vision
Now, let’s look at some of the context. Kings as a whole is penned during the time of Israel’s exile, in many ways as an answer to the national question of “Why would God let this exile happen to his people”, and it goes through king after king, comparing them spiritually to king David and with painfully few exceptions, they all fail and lead Israel further away from YHWH and closer to the worship of false idols and foreign gods. Ahab was among the most garbage of those kings. He was constantly chasing idols and surrounded himself with prophets who were not true to the Lord, but either mixed up in his synchronization of foreign dieties, or just told him what he wanted to hear, with no actual appeal to God himself, except what might be made for appearance only so they could claim ‘God was with them’. Ahab CONSTANTLY found himself at odds with true prophets who followed YHWH, like Elijah and Micaiah. In order to go to war, the king of Judah requested that Ahab seek the Lord’s counsel before joining him in battle. All Ahab’s ‘prophets’ said “You got this, Ahab, God is so dang happy with you”, but Judah’s king follows up by specifically asking if there was a prophet of YHWH in the land. This tells us that Ahab’s cabinet of prophets was not following the same God, in a way that was somehow clear to Judah’s king(who was one of the few ‘good, God-fearing’ kings in the book, fun fact). Then Micaiah shows up as the prophet of the true God, and gives this vision as an explanation as to why all of Ahab’s ‘prophets’ are wrong, while his prophecy of Ahab failing and dying is correct.
So we have true prophets that God is speaking through, and false prophets that are claiming to have divine revelation, when God isn’t actually speaking to them. Verses like Dueteronomy 18:22 tell us that the sign of a true prophet is that what they proclaim comes to pass, while false prophets speak presumptuously and inevitably are incorrect, even if a blind squirrel may find a nut sometimes. Now with God being sovereign, he’s choosing to speak truth through the prophets that honor and follow him, while not extending that privilege to prophets that reject him or seek to build themselves up. So almost poetically, the prophets whose own spirits are characterized by lies, indeed receive deceptive spirits instead of true revelation. Is this because God arbitrarily decides to lie to some people to make his decisions happen? By no means. Those who seek lies find exactly what they were looking for. These were not prophets who were just ‘doing their best’ or ‘doing the wrong things with the right intentions’. They were enemies of God, claiming to speak for him while helping an evil king to lead God’s people deeper into forbidden idol-worship, replacing the God of truth with false pretenses and damnation. In effect, this is like the Tower of Babel account, but instead of confounding their spoke language, he confounds their prophetic visions, because the gods they sought vision from were already lies and cheap knockoffs with no real power to make their prophecies come true. Michaiah’s vision attempts to give some explanation to the strange and complicated spiritual workings that we only see evidence of in our daily life, but there’s still much that is hard for us to unpack. God Himself does not lie. But lies exist, and God is sovereign. Those that seek after lies are often permitted to find them. God warns about this throughout scripture, so when those that rebel against God find lies and deception, God’s actually being true to the word of warning He’s already given.
Contrast this with prophecies coming from those that rightly seek the Lord, and you see a very different pattern, characterized by God being true to HIS word as He has promised to be. Additionally, whereas we see here that a prophet of God comes and rebukes the false prophets, the books within the Bible continually AFFIRM each other, so we see the Holy Spirit inspiring one writer, and then in another place the Holy Spirit inspires another writer to support what was written previously, piling truth upon truth instead of someone later pointing out ways the old prophets were wrong.
I hope this helps a bit.
@@mariobethell3731 You are a fool trying to destroy faith... Didn't you read the passage??
Was Micaiah not a true prophet of God and did he not tell King Ahab precisely that he was being deceived by these fake prophets and how? So if the King had listened to the true prophet of God he wouldn't have been killed?
And can you tell me where the lying spirit in the passage is said to be holy? You're the only one here who is deceived by a lying spirit.

FOR TAKE A SIMPLE EXAMPLE THE GREAT USA WHITE SUPREMACY ADMINISTRATION KNOWS TO A FACT ***THE COMMANDMENTS SOWN THOU SHALL NOT KILL; BUT STILL SUPPLING ISRAEL WITH ARMS AND WEAPONS; SAME AS THE WHITE SUPREMACIES OF SATAN MALES AND FEMALES IN RUSSIA. SO READ AND UNDERSTAND AND GET THE REALITY OF WHO IS SATAN AND WHO SATAN CAME FROM NOT; NEVER GOD
That same logic, could also be used with Jesus. When he told Peter he was going to build his church on that rock. And then he said, “get behind me Satan.” Most Protestants use that as a reason why Peter couldn’t be the one who leads the church. He wasn’t worthy. But, it was Satan who put doubt in Peter, and Jesus wasn’t talking to Peter, but to Satan for putting the doubt in him. And thus, the church was built, still, through Peter.
About a decade ago, my pride started getting out of control while doing God's work ON CHURCH GROUNDS! I do not blame God AT ALL for throwing me down like lightning from my position like He did to Satan lol. I've come to realize what an abomination my attitude was and how serious of a sin I was committing in front of God. Although I am in so much misery, I admit that I 100% deserve this punishment. And it's not just punishment, my Heavenly Father is lovingly disciplining me. Amidst my misery, He found me and reached out His compassionate and loving hand towards me. The Holy Spirit came and wiped out everything out of my life that did not belong, addictions, people, etc. and my relationship with Jesus has never been stronger. I am so incredibly grateful to God that He has humbled me and stopped me sooner rather than later, it just proves to me how much He loves me and cares for me. The Holy Spirit has been guiding me and teaching me a lot lately and I'm so incredibly happy about that and so incredibly honored. I am so incredibly unworthy, but God still does everything in His power to not let me perish😢.
Thank you, Brother Allen. We as Christians definitely have to be able to recognize pride in ourselves and stay before the Lord. God bless you and continue to let God use you.😊
Pride was the reason Lucifer fell from grace.....
What a blessing to have learned teachers here on earth. I read and listen to my Bible. I get confused even though I have prayed for discernment. Thank you Yahweh ❤
@DiscipleDave But the Holy Spirit works through people (Acts 20:28 plus a HOST of other Scriptures)... So what you're saying is just false. Even the written Bible itself is a testament to the Lord using PEOPLE to share the truth. Paul wrote all his letters to teach others, and more than that, even his oral teaching was also the word of God.
The key is being able to discern who is of the Holy Spirit and who is not. You don't just trust no one and go with "what the Holy Spirit says to me in my head", that's how you end up with the disunity of the Protestant branch of Christianity.
Thank you brother Allen, for being the example and pushing us to start our own ministry. On this channel, I pray that the gospel poetry I share touches hearts in a way our Father in heaven will be proud of.
This was so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this message. I will go back and study those scriptures more in depth. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Excellent teaching! I have been following you for the past 3-4 years and have had a few differences but we have come to an understanding of love priority. Really enjoy and learn from your teaching. A few months back you changed positions on a controversial subject with such grace and love and want to commend you for the way you handled this teaching. I truly admire you and thank you for your ministry. In His Rest!
Excellent educated delusional talked about lies.

200 million demons divided by 8 billion people on earth = 0.025 demons per person. This means there are 40 people to every demon.
That’s correct if we go by this translation. Then consider that many have legions making this hard to understand. Now, other literal translations are translated like this.
(Revelation 9:16 MLV) And the number of the armies of the horsemen are tens of thousands of tens of thousands {i.e. an infinite number} . I heard the number of them.
@@josecamacho6372 that's referring to the 4 angels that will be loosed from the river Euphrates. Foe a specific job which will be to slay 1 third of man.
The KJV says...
Revelation 9:14-16 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 🙏

Lucifer should have been thankful for what he had instead of desiring for greater. Lucifer should have been humble instead of being prideful. To be Honest; If I was Lucifer I would have felt so lucky as to be the most beautiful angel. I would have chosen to be Loyal to God
This was a powerful video! Thank you Pastor Allen for the many deep topics and insights that God called you to share with us! Keep at it, because we need you bro. 😎💯
Powerfully false
My mother and I just talked about this on yesterday and I just so happen to stumble across this video. Thank you for explaining this and providing biblical reference. 👍🏾
How you been talking around your phone?
Thank you for sharing this teaching and this video. I’ve never heard the “story of Satan”, except in a very rudimentary way. I believe I have a more robust understanding now of Lucifer and the lessons we can learn from his story. I continue to pray for you, Brother Parr. Thank you for all you do! 💛
It is good but also incomplete. While pride did lead to the devils fall, it was mainly the devils jealously of man that was the real kicker. He didn’t like or understand Gods love for simple creatures such as man. In addition, due to the love and mercy of God, Satan was not expelled for years and I was given ample time to change
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉jesus❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Satan/devil😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂so evil
Lucifer had it all, the perfect cherub angel. The star of stars, and yet it still wasn't enough..... if he can fall from glory, then anybody can.
I’ve thought about that a lot.. if we go to Heaven as Christian’s which we are promised that and we expect that but that’s why I keep telling myself Heaven is perfect but it’s not like some ppl think it’s not “our perfect Heaven “ it’s God’s Kingdom 👑 not OURS! We are servants of his and get to celebrate his glory right along side him but we all have to remember we could always still fall, we’re not there forever if we don’t obey right?! Or am I wrong. Will we not know sin anymore? Honestly is something I get a bit confused about rn .. I’m trying to research more on this
*Слава Отцу, и Сыну, и Святому Духу, и ныне, и присно, и во веки веков*
The bible is silent about many questions we have. The history of the devil is one of them.
The bible never says Lucifer became Satan. Neither Lucifer nor Satan is a name. Isaiah was written in Hebrew.
I think we should just take the passages as they are and not add extra interpretations to it. The prophets are making taunts on the respective Kings in these passages. And we should glean to see how these description describes them.
Is Rev 12 a past or future event?
In summary, the only way to come to the conclusion of the history of the devil from these passages is purely on church tradition and not a direct and contextual interpretation of the sacred volume.
This was great! Thanks!
I also love how additional details about this and the war in heaven was revealed in great clarity over 200 years ago to a modern prophet.
Lucifer's pride was to try and take the Father's glory. He rebelled against God's plan, sought to replace Christ, destroy the moral agency of man, and take God's glory because of it. Due to his rebellion, he was cast out, and pursued 1/3 of heaven to follow.
The craziest part is Lucifer is still allowed to go to heaven. He still hasn’t been cast out permanently.
If he repents
@@Lule8603 I don’t see that happening
Nobody ever asks questions here. If the angels (including Lucifer) were created before the beginning then how was Lucifer created with all the precious stones (which did not exist before the creation of the earth)??
And why are we pretending Isaiah, Ezekiel and Revelation are all referring to the same person, cause no one name was used for him in all three places??
Also, isn't it funny how the sin of pride was found in a being that God created to be perfect?? Did God intentionally create him with pride and lied about the perfection, or was it an oversight on God's part??
It's interesting how you're reading verbatim and still drawing conclusions that are not rooted in what you're reading
That is the problem with nowadays, nobody asks questions, they just believe
Brother, this is an excellent video! Holy Spirit worked mightily in you with this one! So many people have wondered and have asked where did all this evil come from, and our beloved Friend allowed you to answer in a most sincere way. Well done, and great listening!
Awesome truth's and well said! A present and eternal guidance and lesson. Thanks Allen.
There is no hidden Biblical story. You just understand the Bible incorrectly because you have grown up in a society that teaches incorrectly. The word satan just means "accuser" or "adversary". It has never been used to represent some celestial being (some depict as having red skin with horns and carrying a pitchfork). You just won't find that in the Bible. Remember when Jesus called Peter by the word satan? Does that mean Peter is actually satan the way western civilization sees satan? Of course not. The word lucifer is only found once in the Bible. It is in the book of Isaiah and just means morning star. Read the passage in context and who it was written to. That gives the answer right there. God was talking about the king of babylon and His wishes for the king. Its so simple. No need to make it harder. No need to try to find some hidden thing. It is right there.
Praise the lord
Wow, I never knew Lucifer had three legs (1:29) ...you learn something new everyday! AI art is janky
Thank you so much Allen Parr for telling us about something important God Bless You as Always Amen 🙏
Lucifer= Hey’lel The Shining One

The Annointed Cherub that Covers
I did have the same question! Thank you for this teaching, Pastor Allen. You are such a blessing.
There's a misconception of Satan if he is a he. In Ezekiel 28, Lucifer is the most beautiful angel God had created. Visualize the description. Lucy-fer is just like Jenny-fer, a female name. Knowing the enemy is winning half the battle.
Very helpful Mr. Parr. I feel guilty because I allow my 19 year old to taste my mixed drink and I allowed her to in front of the younger kids. I pray God will forgive me. I haven't been living the life God wants me to live lately and I really want to be restored so that I can live for him.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better alcohol isn't inherently sinful, and it's actually not illegal to do that in many states. I'm not trying to tell you how to parent or anything just trying to ease your mind if I can.
God will certainly forgive you for that. Just confess it to Him. God bless,
@@cmolty9582 Thank you. 😊
Well? He was God’s most beloved Angel and Perfect! But? He tested God and his own faith and was casted out! Notice as well? The Archangels! Like? Michael, and Gabriel and so many more
Always remember this pattern,
1) Conflict is always between islam vs other religions
2) Other islamic countries will not accept those affected muslims as their refugees, but they somehow sneak into non-islamic countries. (Russia, whole EU problem with refugees: France, Germany, Spain etc., India divided into 3+ countries, Iran was not an islamic state initially)
3) once they are into non-islamic countries, they create separate laws and try to break that country too.
Stay strong Israel 🇮🇱
I myself? View the world around me and just how awful it is and how people are making everything far much worse for themselves! Not giving a single care or anything! No wonder! In fact! Many people have turned away from God! So? In the End? I’ll be laughing in their faces from Heaven
How great explanation! To GOD be the glory!
I have heard this taught my whole life. It's not that I don't believe that Satan exists, but I find it hard to connect the dots between these scriptures and the being we've come to know as "Lucifer". But this word we have adopted as a name for Satan is a result of multiple iterations of translation from the original text in Hebrew (helel or halal), to Greek, then Latin all of which refer to the planet Venus as the morning star, light-bearer, or dawn-bringer. Pagan leaders have a long history of considering themselves gods and even associating themselves with celestial objects. So how do we make that leap from the Bible explicitly stating that the passage in Isaiah refers to the king of Babylon to taking a single phrase "morning star" and making it a proper name "Lucifer" and assigning it to Satan? I struggle with the connection. It seems that if we applied that same practice to any other part of the Bible, it would be considered heresy. Please understand my heart, I'm not here to be a troll. I sincerely want to know why we accept these things as part of our faith. I think too many Christians, myself included for a very long time, have just accepted what has been taught from one generation to the next without making our own efforts to dig in to the actual source material. I welcome your thoughts on this.
Unpopular opinion. If you do biblical scholarly work, you'll realise that Lucifer is not his name (it refers to the morning star, Venus. Isaiah in chapter 14 uses the planet Venus as an analogy of the star that shines bright in the morning. The original morning star is Jesus himself).
Satan is not his personable name (he refers to the opposer, Jesus, called Peter "satan"). Same with the devil (the accuser). They are titles. The enemy's name is not revealed in the bible.
The key to understanding this topic is to study the original language or texts in the OT and the NT.
Please do your research. Don't build an expectation to be spoonfed on theological topics. Do your due diligence in everything God-centred. I encourage debate and discussion around this. I'm not dogmatic around this. But the truth needs to be said, with love being the goal.
I commented something similar myself. Even the Angel of the Lord (who is the pre-incarnate Son of God) is said to act as "Satan" in Numbers 22:22, showing that the term "satan" can be used for other entities besides the devil. You need to look into the Hebrew to see this.
However it is also clear in Scripture that the term "Satan" can be what we believers call the devil and refer to him by (and in that way be his name).
Also I looked into the Latin of Revelation 22:16, and whilst Jesus is the "bright morning star", it doesn't say lucifer there. Where it does say lucifer however is in 2 Peter 1:19, where "lucifer" is said to rise in all believers' hearts! Apparently we should all be reading this as Satan rising in our hearts... (smh)
Again very clear that Isaiah 14 isn't about Satan at all, and as you said, it's so important to do your own research in this and actually look at the passages in context.
@@MrOlu109 interesting. Is the Book of Revelation initially written in Latin?
Also agree on the Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Christ. It was mindblowing when I came across that.
@@mutsvaiv No it's written in Greek the same as all of the New Testament. But the word "lucifer" is a borrowed word from Latin, it's not Hebrew. So even though that's the word that we see in the KJV and NKJV of Isaiah 14:12, it's not original to the text.
I was only saying that in the Latin copies of Revelation, they don't use the word "lucifer" in Revelation 22:16. But they do use it in 2 Peter 1:19.
Yes I learnt that our Lord Jesus is the Old Testament Angel of the Lord fairly recently myself. It was also a unanimous belief among the early church fathers.
Have you heard of Sam Shamoun btw? I've been learning from him and he has definitely been gifted by the Spirit to teach the Scriptures. He goes to levels I haven't experienced elsewhere on UA-cam, let alone in church on a Sunday.
What I don’t understand is how this perfect angel can have been found with any iniquities at all, if he was in fact created perfect.
@@tylerknight1515 Perfectly made doesn't mean there is no potential to sin. To not have the potential to sin, means that you cannot choose to sin. But if you cannot choose to sin and do wrong, you also can't choose to love and do right either. You'd just be a mindless robot doing what you've been programmed to do. But God didn't want that.
Instead, God wanted a family of angelic and human creatures who would truly love Him and worship Him in spirit and truth. And so for the sake of love, He made His creatures perfectly but with the potential to choose Him or not choose Him freely. And that means the potential to sin.
First i want to say i agree with most of the things yout alk about, however in this instance i have to say it is NOT BIBLICAL that Lucifer is Satan, Lucifer is only mentioned in the KJV, and in the footnote it says lit star of the morning, son of the dawn or words to that affect, if that is the literal translation and other versions dont have the name Lucifer then how can we say Lucifer is a being at all? Even in the passage whereby lucifer is mentioned the context of that chapter is talking about the King of Babylon
Thanks Allen and bless you for the time and energy you devote to this channel. Cheers and prayer!
You are very welcome!
Before Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven by the way? He was Cast into Hell! In my belief? I think that we will all face this obstacle, we are born Sinners! No matter how many times we dedicate ourselves to scriptures or the Church and belief! We will face this challenge
Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation!
Why do I seem to be the only one with questions?
Did God create this Lucifer? Where was the iniquity that was found in him when God was creating him?
Why throw him to us humans, God who knows everything? These things baffle me
This was wonderful to watch, Allen! Thank you so much! I watched this in conjunction with my personal quiet time today :) I felt like I was watching a professor give a lecture, in the best way possible! Your background in teaching definitely comes through ❤️
There is noone who does everything all the time that leads others to, and not awsy from God. Noone. Dont expect that. Humans are deeply flawed, and sinful. Trust only Jesus. Amen.
Thank you, brother Allen whenever you tell a story in the Bible, it is easy for me to use my imagination. You really can tell a story and thank you for recommending the daily audio Bible. It is great between you and Bryan. I believe my Bible study have gone to the next level
He’s using his imagination because this story isn’t real.
What is your proof that the story is not real?
@@alvincobbs92 I need proof that a supposed hidden story isn’t real?
You are in error because you misconstrued the scriptures, an Angel of Light cannot fall from Grace, because the Angel of Light is the light of the living god, what you are saying now is that the light of the living God is corruptible light, but God's light is incorruptible, therefore, Satan did not fall from heaven, a spirit being cannot fall from himself he cannot change from this to that he is spirit, the spirit of light cannot become the spirit of Darkness, and the spirit of Darkness cannot become the spirit of light, spirit remains what it is therefore you are in error you misconstrued the scriptures, it is talking of the spirit of man when God made man the Pinnacle of creation and his Beauty but he fell from this Beauty, only man can fall from Grace.
I’ve studied lots of Satan, and of demons and angels, and you nailed it on this! Great job!
Did study the Bible because this story certainly isn’t there
@@cc3775 it is in the Bible, it’s contained in lots of different prophecies, and these prophecies have multiple fulfillments, and symbolism pointing to Satan! It’s amazing how God showed the prophets the future and the past with the same language!
@@casenswartz7278 no they don’t, that’s just nonsense. You’ve been sold a lie.
@@cc3775 and you can prove that how? I did this study in my own, most scholars agree with this teaching, and so does church history. If your so enlightened, explain why to all the people with PhDs please
@@casenswartz7278 so scholars are infallible? Scholars and people with degrees get things wrong all the time. I don’t need to prove anything. I’m not making the claim that the Bible has some hidden subplot. Isaiah 14:3-23 is about the King of Babylon and no one else.
I find it incredible that angels who fully understand who God is would rebel against him in the first place and that angels must also have free will to make that decision.
God being the Alpha and Omega knew when he created angels that a third would rebel against him which just leads to more questions for me.
Did Angels really have free will or were they created specifically to rebel against God?
Was Lucifer created perfect so his pride would lead to his downfall? If these rebelling angels and Lucifer were created specifically to rebel is it fair that they will be punished for eternity for their sins?
Thank you Mr Allen for the powerful revelation concerning Lucifer. But the controversial question is: how was Lucifer persuaded/influenced to sin if God created him to be Holy and perfect??
A similar question would be asking how could Adam sin if he was made perfect? I think the answer to this question and yours would be the same:
Being made perfect doesn't mean that you can't sin. What it means is that there is no sin in you when you are created. However with the ability to love comes the ability to choose. Love isn't really love if I can't choose not to love. Choosing not to love God would be sin, but I would need to make the choice of my own free will in order to truly love Him.
So the ability to choose (free will) is what gives the potential to sin, even though Adam/Satan weren't made with sin in them.
@MrOlu109 There's a clear difference adam and lucifer. Lucifer was created as a perfect holy angel who resided in heaven while Adam was created on earth.
When you are holy and created to be perfect, having freewill doesnt make you sin unless there's an external influence that could have tempted lucifer like the way the serpent tempted Eve
@@MrPM779 In Genesis 3:6 Eve saw the tree was to be desired to make one wise, which was a direct transgression of the commandment she'd been given. Did that desire come from within her before she sinned, or from the external influence of the devil alone?
If that desire came from within her before she sinned, why can't an evil desire rise up in Satan before he sinned?
@@MrOlu109 because no one tempted lucifer
@@MrPM779 Why in your mind does there need to be a tempter in order for you to sin? Sin began in Satan with his own evil desires and pride. As the Lord said, it's not what is outside that defiles but what is inside, for out of the heart comes all sorts of evil.
So I'm not sure exactly why you seem to think that Satan couldn't fall of his own accord? Do you not think that Adam and Eve were created perfect and holy, just as Satan was?
The denial of young earth creationism and a perverse desire to be Yahwehs equal, led to Lucifer's fall.
Thank you for this message. And thanks for reminding us once again in which path we are walking and how can we influence others. In Jesus name Amen ❤️
There is no way that anyone who would die would ascend straight into Heaven! There’s no guarantee on this! So I think we can accept this fact and fate! You or I or your Pastor or anyone! Will not be Perfect
Very well done and accurate study. My only comment is that based on Lucifer’s feats & attributes as described in the scriptures. He seems to be so much more than just an angel. He seems to be a unique entity that is vastly more powerful than any angel.
I’ve been skeptical that Lucifer is another name for Satan because it is only found in king James and new king James and as (far as I know) it is a transliteration from Latin meaning day star/morning star.
Some would argue that Isaiah 14 is used sarcastically against the king of Babylon but I’m not sure where I stand on this. I would like to look into it more.
This is exactly right... Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are examples of God mocking these earthly kings who think of themselves higher than they ought to. There is other evidence of God mocking others in Scripture (Wisdom of God mocks scoffers and people who don't listen in Proverbs 1:26 and Psalm 2:4 are examples)
Lucifer is a Latin word, not original to the text, and lucifer is said to rise in our hearts in the latin translation of 2 Peter 1:19. So the term "lucifer" cannot refer to Satan either.
Nobody can equal God. We should all check our egos from time to time, pride is a dangerous sin
In addition as well? Jesus Christ and God are very forgiving! Focus on your mind
Pride is and will always be the biggest hurdle one must overcome to be closer to God. Lucifer wants to be God, but led him to be farthest from God.
As we also often do when we worship ourselves to be the god of our lives.
We need to spread the god's word to everyone. Sin has took the humanity. Only Jesus can save us. God bless brothers.
But Lucifer did not become Satan in the real sense.
Lucifer was ascribed to both Satan and Jesus Christ in the Latin Vulgate bible in Isaiah 14 and 2 Peter 1:19 respectively.
If Morning star, Daystar, light bearer and Light bringer were replaced by Lucifer which referred to Jesus according to 2 Peter 1:19 (Goggle search "2 Peter 1:19 Latin Vulgate ") why would the use of Lucifer in the same Latin Vulgate in Isaiah 14 be referring to Satan?
It was KJV that made the mistake of Calling the Lucifer in Isaiah 14 Satan when the passage, in fact, has nothing to do with Satan but an earthly King.
Remember that KJV was translated from the Latin Vulgate bible.
Failure to understand Isaiah 14 by the interpreters using the Latin Vulgate made them translate Lucifer to Satan.
Isaiah 14 is about the King of Babylon (an earthly king) but not Satan.
Throw away anything influenced by the Roman Catholic Church! Life will be much easier for you. They are the reason Satan got his foot through the church!
The way this question about Satan got revealed to me was when I was Re-Born, I had a lot of questions, like how was this universe created, where did all of this start? Why are we here? All of these questions I feel like was answered. Here is how it was shown to me. There was another world before this universe ever was created and that world was named "The City of God" and all that was created up to that point all lived in this city, well God has a chain of command just like anyone else of a King standards, So Lucifer was 2nd in command and Lucifer was the most beautiful of all creations and was honor as such, then this holding Lucifer up on a pedestal this set in Pride within Lucifer, then Lucifer started to think that he deserved some of God's Glory, (It is written Glory be to God and no one else is worthy of God's glory) so Lucifer thought as himself as an equal to God then Justice said this has to be tested, and that test instantly turned Lucifer into Satan, then Satan pursued 1/3 of all that was created to side with him in over throwing God. God has truth, Love, Justice within his spirit so then Justice said all this has to be tested or none of them are justified so all must perish. Long story short this world was created to test principles between God vs Satan to see which King will have the Kingdom.
No wonder he is an antichrist coz Jesus took over from him and became the second in command replacing him
Praise God for this video. It’s such a humbling reminder of our spiritual battle. Thank you.
Oh man, I was really hoping you wouldn't push this false narrative. So a couple things that make this argument entirely wrong. Much like the passage in Isaiah that mentions "Lucifer" (Lucifer is neither Satan, nor even a name) this passage is talking about the fall of a once great and powerful king. In this case the king of tyre. It's very much written as a sarcastic, roast against this king. We know this passage is talking about a man and not an angel or fallen angel etc because it goes out of it's way at least 3 times in verses 2, 9 and others to say he is not a god, but merely a man. There's no mistaken it. All the verses you cited claiming it's not a man are using poetic imagery and metaphors to get the point across . The verse about being in the garden of Eden, is a reference to Adam and how he fell into sin. It was drawing a comparison between the king and Adam. Furthermore, he does not have access to God's throne. In fact, God goes on to say he doesn't. Again it was a reference to the ego of this king who thought to be as high as the Most High, and God had to cast him down. Almost a 1 to 1 parallel to the King of Babylon in Isaiah that everyone mistakenly equates to Satan. And if that weren't enough, the entire context of this passage is talking the king of tyre which is one of the Oracles, where each Oracle is speaking specifically of a physical earthly man and geographical location. It would make absolutely no sense to all a sudden switch gears to speak about an angelic being under the guise of a king. All the verses talking about his perfect beauty and jewels etc, again is just poetic imagery to emphasize how powerful this king once was, but got too arrogant and cocky, and fell from grace. This passage has nothing to do with a fallen angel. Neither does Isaiah. Again, it's just Parallel passage talking about the fall of a once great King of Babylon. Lucifer is not a name of anybody, and it certainly isn't the name of Satan. Lucifer is a translation of a Latin word elel that simply means light bearer or bringer. It's a reference to Venus or the morning Star, which is what the king of Babylon was compared to. Also, Lucifer is only found in the KJV and NKJV So again, not only is Lucifer not Satan, but it's not a proper name of anybody. Isaiah and Ezekiel are merely stories about two Kings who had it all, and fell from grace due to their pride. Nowhere in either passage is there any indication without forcing an outside ideology, that would suggest either passages are about angelic beings, let alone Satan. And the real kicker is these two passages are where 90% of the origin story of Satan comes from. Once you realize these passages aren't about Satan, and aren't his origin story, you start to realize most of what we're told about Satan is pure fan fiction. Satan is not anything like who or what we've been told. After all, Satan (saw-tawn) is simply the Hebrew word for adversary. There are many adversaries or "satans" in the Bible including the Angel of the Lord, Peter, and God Himself. It's almost as if we've attributed all of the examples of a fallen spirit, adversary, enemy, false accuser etc etc to one single boogyman villain, capitalized the 'S' and call him Satan... Just my hot take.
You're totally right. Those verses are taken out of context. We don't see Satan in the Tanakh besides the book of Zechariah.
It's only after Jesus that Satan becomes a big deal. The Lake of Fire is not a thing in the Old Testament either. It's like after God sent Jesus there were a lot of changes.
In Luke 10 Jesus mentions "Satan falling from the sky like lightning" but that's all He says. He doesn't quote Isaiah. He could have, but he didn't. But for some people that's enough to take those verses of Isaiah out of context. Even though Hillel Ben Shachar and Satan are completely different characters.
Crazy how Lucifers pride said I will but God says I am.
Thank you for the helpful insight. One thing I’ve learned though is that Lucifer is not his name. It’s a false English translation of the Hebrew word Heylel meaning, Star of the Morning, Light Bringer. From my understanding the name Lucifer was given falsely by Saint Jerome when a competing scribe Saint Lucifer was also translating. Jerome attributed the word Heylel to His competitor almost out of spite or jealousy no one will truly know the intent. But Lucifer is not the devil’s name
Satan wanted to be above or equal to god that’s when god threw him out of heaven
Lucifer and all the angels were created on day one of creation week.
In the scriptures you state did they were given instructions from God to make statements about specific Kings about a king or kings. Where does it say that Lucifer is the power behind any of these Kings? Please tell me the verse.
Read Luk. 4:5-6. Satan shows Christ all the kingdoms of this world, and he tells Christ that God gave him total authority over those kingdoms. Satan is able to rule this world by deceiving it(Rev. 12:9). That especially includes human rulers.
The reason you don’t see Satan is because he is God in the Old Testament. What would it look like is Satan took the throne of God on earth? After all, he wanted to be like God. The result is the Old Testament. Those actions and behaviors are not of God. That is someone looking to make a statement with violence and destruction.
I love Allie Stuckey! Thank you for such a needed sermon. As the saying goes, " preach it !!! ".
There's a theory of how and when Satan Fell from Heaven. According to this theory, Satan became jealous of God's relationship with Adam and Eve. Satan wanted to become worshiped instead of God.
This is from Islam and it is utterly false. Lucifer's fall happened way before Adam and Eve and this whole world even existed.
Isaiah 14,Ezekiel 28.
5:23 Just wow!! 🤯👍✨
Around min 12:10, the video stops abruptly while you are teaching about the fact that hell was originally created for Satan and his demons, but it is also the destination of souls who follow Satan in his rebellion. You had just posed the question: What does that mean for us? and the video then sticks and the audio stops for about 5 secs, but it kind of picks up right where you left off. Wasn't sure if you realized that or not and it belies your high level of professionalism that I've become accustomed to. That imperfection notwithstanding, this really blessed me. Thank you for consistently being His willing vessel. God bless you and your wife and family. Shalom to you all.
Man don't really know nothing
Thanks, Allen. Praise God. To anyone who may be dealing with the past, the future, or existential dread - I want to tell you that God is big enough to defeat that with His Love. There is nothing realer than God and His Love. Put your eyes on Jesus. Submit to God and put your trust in Him, you can't do anything about your situation through worry. God is assuring and He Loves you. Come.

Lucifer is not the name of Satan. Lucifer is a Latin word meaning morning star. Where this name came around is those who translated the Bible from Greek Latin and not Hebrew. Jesus also calls himself the Morning Star in Revelations 22. The book of Isaiah in chapter 14 vers 12 said Heyella in Hebrew not Lucifer. The cult of Lucifer came around when the story called Paradise Lost came out in 1647 written by John Melton. All your English Bibles that were translated from latin to english have the name Lucifer in it. Now if you go to a Bible like the ESV that is trainslated from Hebrew Isaiah 14:12 does not say Lucifer and you turn to Leviticus 16:6-10 you will see that they put Azazel back in who was a Devil a Satan in the Apocrypha. Aaron sacrificed two goats one to the Lord and one to Azazel. The name Lucifer does not exist in Hebrew text. We as christens need to look at Revelations 20 where it says the Serpent, the Devil who is Satan. Yep that is 3 he is trying to be like God. Allen a good question for you is why are we still using Lucifer as Satans name if it is a Greek Latin word and not Hebrew. Also if it means Morning Star and Jesus calls himself the Morning Star are we not calling Jesus the devil? I think this name does not belong to Satan at all. He is tricking you with a cover up in the greek translations.
awesome video. thank you. freezes at 12:12 for a sec, but thank you for teaching in depth and breaking it down.
Thank you Brother Allen, this is an extremely informative video. Since I thought about life and God's creation as a whole, including angels and demons, Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel, and the devil or satan, after I became a Christian in 1989, I believed it to be the way you explained. However, I could never tell anybody WHY I believed it and certainly did not have the theological knowledge to explain it. This is great! Perhaps you should do a series on angels, seraphim, serabim, cherubs, and what those words mean, and what the roles of the different beings are, what it means in our lives, and what our position is in relation to them before God. That would be something I would enjoy tremendously.
What is your stance on Aliens? Now that former intelligence agents have come forward with their story, what are your thoughts on that from a biblical stand point? I have had several people ask me recently and I have nothing to say. 😵💫 help!!
Demons. That is who they are.
It doesn't strike anyone as a little odd that angels would be able to just decide to disobey God?
To my understanding, they too were given free will
@@00naenae and to your understanding, what is the difference between angels and men?
@@sunwukong32 humans are made in God’s image
@@00naenae ok, that doesn't really tell me anything, and it doesn't even line up in any practical sense.
God is immortal. Who else is immortal, angels, or men?
God is holy. Who else is holy, angels, or men?
God is pure. Who else is pure, angels, or men?
God is light. Who else is light, angels, or men?
If we're the ones made in God's image, why are the angels the ones living in heaven with God while we are down here on the earth? To me, this doesn't make sense.
So when you say we're made in God's image, in what way do you mean? Can you state it plainly?
Angels were created with free will, just like human beings were. Angels and human beings were created with free will because God intended both species to develop His character within them. That would not be possible if He created robots who were merely programmed to do it. A being has to be able to _willingly_ choose to obey God and submit to His authority. However, the catch with free will is that said being can also choose to disobey God.
