  • Where did Lucifer, a.k.a., Satan, get the evil inclination to rebel against God? Why would a finite creature think he could overcome the infinite Creator? What drove Satan to envy?

    Like you, I'm a convert to Catholicism, although I was never a Pastor. I am currently working on my Master's in Theology through a Catholic university and your videos have been a huge help! As far as I'm concerned, this is the best Catholic Theology channel on UA-cam!

      Do a word study from the Bible, KJV. use the words religion, Religious and the word TRUTH. Truth is mentioned 330 times, the other two don't get past five.
      Jesus proclaims himself as the Truth. John 14:6.
      Ecclesiastes 12 is a very enlightening chapter. For somebody like you seeking knowledge through book learning. You need to start with the TRUTH. It is your only defence against what is presented as the truth. Anyway, May God give you a Damascus Road experience as he opens your eyes to His truth.

    The question I am left scratching my head now with, what is the prime mover that moves one to envy if made sinless. Back to Freewill? The absence of the beatific vision would indicate that each creature is given a test to essentially accept God's will or reject it. Thus, the test is to trust God but without having full knowledge of what it means to not trust in God. It is said that the angels were not able to repent but man has a finite life to repent. These are just my random thoughts.

      there's a reason why it's nearly universally referred to as the *mystery* of evil. Like many (all?) of the most profound truths of the faith, I think no matter how deeply we analyze the issue of Satan's fall we're left with incomplete understanding. Thank you very much for your insightful comments.

    Satan! Fallen Angel of The Light!
    Jesus is the Lamp and Light to the world. Jesus’ Light shines out to the world through His Catholic Church ‘Lampstands’, which are our Catholic Leaders. The ‘eyes’ of the ‘Body of the Catholic Church’, are our Catholic Church leaders. When Catholic leaders are Holy and good, then the whole Body of the Catholic Church is filled with the light of Christ. When Catholic leaders are bad, then, Luke 13:34 The Simile of Salt. “Salt is good, but if salt itself loses its taste, with what can its flavor be restored? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”
    Matthew 5:13 The Similes of Salt and Light.
    You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
    Luke 11:33
    “No one who lights a lamp hides it away or places it [under a bushel basket], but on a lampstand so that those who enter might see the light. The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is sound, then your whole body is filled with light, but when it is bad, then your body is in darkness. Take care, then, that the light in you not become darkness.
    In the Book of Revelation, Jesus refers to His Catholic Leaders as ‘angels’. Example: Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write this:”, “To the angel of the church in Smyrna, write this:”, “To the angel of the church in Pergamum, write this:”
    Revelation 1:11
    “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest. The hair of his head was as white as white wool or as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame. His feet were like polished brass refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing water. In his right hand he held seven stars. A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth, and his face shone like the sun at its brightest. When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead. He touched me with his right hand and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last, the one who lives. Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I hold the keys to death and the netherworld. Write down, therefore, what you have seen, and what is happening, and what will happen afterwards. This is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
    Revelation 2:1 To Ephesus.
    “To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write this: “‘The one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks in the midst of the seven gold lampstands says this: “I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate the wicked; you have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not, and discovered that they are impostors. Moreover, you have endurance and have suffered for my name, and you have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: you have lost the love you had at first. Realize how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
    Matthew 6:22 The Light of the Body.
    The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.
    Revelation 13:11 The Second Beast.
    Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon.
    The reason Jesus calls our first Pope, St. Peter, ‘Satan’, is because Peter is talking, thinking and acting like the secular world talks, thinks and acts. Matthew 16:23 He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”
    It is actually Jesus, Mary, and Archangel Michael who ‘Deliver us from the Evil One’, when we get a Fallen Angel (Satan) Pope. In Jesus’ ‘Kingdom Come’, He will anoint a new ‘Victor’ as ‘Anointed One’ leader of His Church, as deselected Satan falls from heaven.
    Luke 13:34 The Simile of Salt.
    “Salt is good, but if salt itself loses its taste, with what can its flavor be restored? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”
    Jeremiah 23:1 A Just Shepherd.
    Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD.
    Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my sheep and driven them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil deeds. I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble; and none shall be missing, says the LORD.
    Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; as king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him:
    "The LORD our justice."
    Revelation 12:7
    Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed.
    It is a ‘Victor’, and not necessarily Pope Francis, who stands next to our King Jesus Christ, as His “Anointed One”, Ruling the World with Jesus, when Jesus, Second Coming, Comes to earth in All His Power and Glory.
    Revelation 2:26
    To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the end, I will give authority over the nations.
    Revelation 3:12
    “‘“The victor I will make into a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave it again. On him I will inscribe the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, as well as my new name.
    Revelation 11:15
    Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign forever and ever.'
    Revelation 12:10
    “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: Now have salvation and power come, the reign of our God and the authority of his Anointed One”
    Acts of the Apostles 1:6 The Ascension of Jesus.
    When they had gathered together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
    Matthew 19:28
    Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
    Revelation 3:21
    I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne, as I myself first won the victory and sit with my Father on his throne.
    Acts of the Apostles 26:17
    I shall deliver you from this people and from the Gentiles to whom I send you, to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God,
    Matthew 6:9 The Lord's Prayer
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done on earth as it is in heaven .../
    /... Subject us not to trial but
    deliver us from the evil one.'

      John 2:19 Cleansing of the Temple.
      “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”
      The Revelation 11 “Two Witnesses” are the Jewish and Catholic Churches. Revelation 11:11 "But after the three and a half days, a breath of life from God entered them. When they stood on their feet, great fear fell on those who saw them."
      42 months, 1260 days, 3.5 years, is symbolic for the period of time between the Exile and Fall of Israel, and the rise of Zion, aka ‘The New Jerusalem’, aka the post Apocalyptic Catholic-Jewish ‘New Jerusalem’ Church atop God’s Holy Mountain under Messianic Reign. The Rise of Zion, New Jerusalem Church will reside in the Second Coming Presence of the Holy Trinity, living in the ‘Divine Will’. Jesus will Rule with and through His ‘New Jerusalem’ Church, which will be the Revelation 4, 12 Catholic elders and 12 Jewish elders, 24 combined elders, under Messianic Reign on earth, in Jesus’ Kingdom Come on free willed earth. All Spiritual Blessings and Sacraments of absolution of sin flows from heaven to earth through the Catholic and Jewish Churches, who are The Book of Revelation’s ‘Two Witnesses’ as well as ‘Two Lampstands’ and ‘Two Olive Trees”.
      Revelation 11:5
      If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone wanting to harm them is sure to be slain.
      Revelation 11:5 is Catholic Anathema and Jewish Kareth.
      Revelation 11:7
      When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war against them and conquer them and kill them.
      Revelation 11:7 is Satan, coming up from hell to kill and destroy the Catholic and Jewish Churches, and all their teachings from the Holy Spirit over the past 2600 years. The Jewish Church was killed by Satan at the time when they handed over their Messiah Jesus Christ to be crucified. Satan is now killing the Catholic Church through Pope Francis and Cardinal Fernández and the Progressive Vatican ‘Gay Lobby’ Mafia Freemason Catholic Curia. When Pope Francis and Cardinal Fernández are finished, then all the work done by faithful Catholic leaders and Catholic Saints, over the past 2000 years will be finished, with no further guidance of the Holy Spirit to be used by the Catholic Church, only the secular lbgt and any fleshly desires and whims of those inputting into the Synod on Sodality. The Catholic Church will have been killed by the ‘beast that comes up from the abyss’.
      Then, in Revelation 11, Jesus’ Second Coming, Comes and God blows new life into the Jewish and Catholic Churches, who are the ‘Two Witnesses’, and Jesus’ Revelation 21 ‘New Jerusalem’ Church is born on free willed earth. This will be the Resurrection and Restoration of the ‘Two Witnesses’, who are the combined Jewish and Catholic Churches on free willed earth, in Christ’s post-Apocalyptic, New Jerusalem Church on earth. In Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven, is really Jesus' Presence, Second Coming, down from heaven to reside in the Body of His New Jerusalem Church. All State of Grace post-apocalyptic Catholics will live in the Divine Will, united to the Presence of the Holy Trinity, in Jesus’ ‘Holy City’, ‘New Jerusalem’ Church on free-willed earth.
      The Revelation 11 ‘Come up here’, as Satan is cast down to earth (Rev 12:9), is Jesus taking over as King and Ruler of the world, as present God authorized secular power, which is presently ruling the world as a punishment from God, are removed as God’s selected rulers over Israel and the world. Jesus will Rule on earth with and through His Church, the ‘New Jerusalem’, combined `Catholic-Jewish Church. After Catholic Apostolic Successors read the Revelation 10 ‘small scroll’, which is a list of Catholic auto-anathemas, while seven Catholic Priests blow seven trumpets, this is when Jesus takes over as King and Ruler of the world. Jesus is not King and Ruler of the world until His subjects, Catholic Apostolic Successor put Jesus’ Laws into enforcement on earth. When they do so, Jesus is immediately crowned and King and Ruler of the world and Messianic Reign on earth begins.
      The enthronement of Jesus as King and Ruler of the world and the Coronation of our Blessed Mother of Messianic Reign!

      Revelation 11:11
      But after the three and a half days, a breath of life from God entered them. When they stood on their feet, great fear fell on those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, “Come up here.” So they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies looked on. At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell in ruins. Seven thousand people were killed during the earthquake; the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has passed, but the third is coming soon. Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign forever and ever.” The twenty-four elders who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God and said: “We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty, who are and who were. For you have assumed your great power and have established your reign.

    Maybe the devil thought his kingdom of hell was his alternative exalted vocation where he really was Lord over his own kingdom. Those in hell serve the devil imitating the saints in an inverted way who serve the Lord in heaven. The angel's permanent exile caused the Lord's permanent loss of extrinsic glory, causing God a permanent loss. In this way the devil did gain some victory over God.
    The mystery of iniquity does include the divine participation in the loss of angels who permanently fell into perdition.
