Lucifer and Evil                       The Origin and History of Evil

Evil, what is it, where does it come from, why does it affect certain people and not others? Why do some people do evil acts and others don’t, and why do thousands of innocent people suffer through horrific evil events?

Evil starts with an emotional feeling, which is then manifested into a thought, and then from thought, manifested into an act or event, which usually causes unpleasantness, pain and suffering. Emotional feelings that can manifest evil are: selfishness, covetousness, jealousy, vanity, greed, materialism, lust, bitterness, resentment, revengefulness, agitation, anger, prejudice and hatred, but what causes these feelings to come into existence?  What causes evil thoughts to manifest in a person’s mind?

Throughout the entire world, in every country, jails and prisons are filled with people that have done various degrees of immoral, criminal, and evil acts. Mental and emotional instability, combined with hatred, prejudices, radicalism and selfishness affect millions of people causing all sorts of unpleasant, traumatic, horrifying acts.

Divorce and domestic violence affects three out of every five marriages, while lustful, immoral sexual activity causes abortions that take the lives of millions of unborn infant children. Drug and alcohol addictions, poverty and hopelessness cause depression and suicides, and destroy countless lives.

Also, carelessness, neglect, preventable famines, disease, contaminated food, and pollution of water cause horrific suffering and kill millions of people. All these things emanate from evil.

Around the world, we see nations, countries and governments that are involved in senseless wars that kill and injure thousands of people, and most recently, horrific terrorist activities have begun to occur in many cities around the world causing carnage, suffering and death.

All these activities are caused by a shadow of evil, an unseen force that spreads throughout the world like a deadly virus causing turmoil, chaos, mayhem, pain, death and grief.

Currently, and during many past years, hundreds, of phycologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, penologists, behavior specialists, theologians and religious leaders have tried to understand and figure out what causes human beings to engage in these types of acts and atrocities, and how to find a way to prevent these acts from occurring. Despite their efforts, the acts have continued, even increasing in frequency and number.

To begin to understand these things, we must think outside the box as some people put it, and venture into the spiritual realm, and into biblical history and the written words of God.

The spiritual realm is difficult to understand and examine because it is hidden, is invisible and unseen. It exists inside the celestial, spiritual dimension, which exists outside of the terrestrial, earthly realm. Even so, it dwells closely within our own space and time.

Before God created mankind, He created spiritual angelic beings and gave them the gift of intellect, wisdom, discernment, emotions, and a spiritual universe to dwell and prosper in. He gave them freedom of thought, and the liberty to act as they please. Among those angelic beings, there was one named Lucifer (meaning, bearer of light) and was an Archangel. He became God’s most beloved companion and possessed the highest level of wisdom in God’s entire kingdom.

Lucifer honored God, and was exceedingly kind and affectionate to all of God’s creations. He performed amazing wonders that no other angelic beings could do, and he came to be greatly admired by all of God’s angels and other celestial creatures that God had created.

As time passed, Lucifer continued to gain in stature and eventually proclaimed his wisdom to be equal with God. He began to influence other angels into believing this by performing incredible wonders and great acts of kindness. Subsequently, Lucifer became exalted and vanity formed within him. He desired recognition, admiration, respect and acknowledgement of his wisdom, and his many wondrous acts.

Then, Lucifer’s pride became so over inflated that he aspired to create his own kingdom, separate from God’s kingdom, and to establish a new dominion over God’s celestial and angelic beings.

Eventually, over time, this caused confrontations to flare between Lucifer and other Archangels, such as Gabriel and Michael that remained loyal to God. This resulted in the expulsion and exile of Lucifer, and all of his followers, and they were forced to dwell outside the boundaries of God’s Kingdom. Shortly thereafter, God and a consortium of His angelic beings created the terrestrial universe with all its nebula, stars, planetary bodies and terrestrial life. Then Lucifer and his multitude of followers entered within, and came to dwell in that universe.

Among the many planetary bodies that had been created in the terrestrial universe, there was one called Earth which contained a multitude of animals, primarily large sea creatures and huge land beasts (dinosaurs) and other smaller animals. And so it was that Lucifer occupied Earth and reined over all life on that planet.

Now God, having lost His most beloved companion, Lucifer, to vanity, decided to replace Him, therefore He created a man (which He named Adam), a living human being formed in His own image. God created man from the dust of the Earth and also had formed a lush garden (which he called Eden) for Adam to dwell in on Earth.

God also placed two celestial trees in the Garden of Eden, The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Tree of Life would give immortality to all living creatures that dwelled within the garden, therefore, Adam became immortal, meaning he would not age, never become sick or ill, and never die as long as he dwelled in the Garden of Eden.

The Tree of Knowledge and of Good and Evil would give man vast spiritual knowledge and powers from eating its fruits. God, however, had created Adam with innocence and did not want him to acquire spiritual knowledge until He developed his intellect and wisdom and could maintain his purity of mind and heart.

God wanted to protect man from the temptation of various spiritual emotions, (like vanity), which overwhelmed Lucifer. Therefore, He entered into a sacred covenant with Adam, not to eat any of the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge until such time as He commanded.

Since God created him with innocence, He set him apart from His angelic beings to dwell in the terrestrial universe on Earth. And God stated to all His angelic beings within His celestial kingdom, see here, I have created a human being in my own image. All other beings that I have created shall have devotion to him, just as you have had devotion to Me.

And Lucifer came and said to God, I will not give devotion to man, as I was created before him and my wisdom is exceedingly above his. Therefore, God wanted to humble Lucifer, so He gave Adam dominion over the Earth and all living creatures that dwelled there within. This caused Lucifer to feel disparaged, and bitterness, resentment, and anger developed within him, and evilness was formed.

Then Lucifer said to all his followers, this human being (man) that God has created in His image, is not above us, but below us in the chain of creation. He was created after us, has no spiritual qualities and is not worthy of our devotion.

Therefore, we shall give no devotion to him, as he is below us in wisdom and is not even a spiritual being, but rather a flesh being created from the dust of the Earth, and he is no greater than any of the other terrestrial creatures on Earth.

Then God came to Lucifer and said to him, you may enter into the Garden of Eden but you may not allow Adam to see your spiritual body, neither shall you ever speak to him, else all that you have shall be taken from you, and God departed from Lucifer’s presents.

As time passed God visited with Adam in the Garden of Eden to fellowship with him and to teach him knowledge; as Adam began to mature and grow in wisdom, God taught him to understand emotions, how to feel love, compassion, happiness and joy, as well as how to express kindness and respect for all the life forms around him.

God also taught him mathematics, geometry, and about astronomy, biology, ecology, music and song and many other areas of knowledge and sensitivity. Adam soon developed a great love for God, and for all the animals around him, and respected all things that God had created. Adam became a master in maintaining the Garden of Eden, and everything therein was in a perfect state of being and harmony.

While Adam loved and interacted with all the animals around him, they could not intellectually communicate with him, nor could they help him maintain the Garden of Eden.

Therefore, God felt compassion for Adam because he was alone and had no one to communicate with or to help him care for the Garden of Eden. So God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and removed a rib bone from Adam’s body, and from it, He created a woman (a female human being). God brought life to her and presented her to Adam.

And God said to Adam, see here, I have brought you a partner (a woman), which I created from the bone of your body. She is like unto you and will be your companion and wife and will help you care for the Garden of Eden. Love her as I have loved you and teach her all the knowledge that I have taught you. I have put my fertile seeds into your body’s and you will come to desire each other, and will know each other, will propagate and will bring forth children like unto your own image.

And Adam became overwhelmed with joy, because the woman was beautiful and warmed his heart. Then, Adam named the woman Eve and bonded with her and there was much love between them. He taught her all the knowledge that God had taught him and they become as one flesh.

Now Lucifer having entered in to the Garden of Eden saw that God had created a human woman and gave her to Adam. This caused Lucifer’s resentment to grow with great intensity and he became filled with bitter jealousy, selfish indignation and revengeful wrath, and wicked evil thoughts begin to materialize from within his intellect.

Lucifer realized that human beings would now begin to increase in number, and that his control over the domain of Earth and the terrestrial universe would be lost to the multitude of mankind. He knew that God would direct all his angelic beings and celestial creatures to give devotion to mankind because God had created them in His own image.

And Lucifer came before God and said, since the beginning of creation I have honored you, and was kind and nurtured all the beings that you created. You allowed me to grow in wisdom and become superior over all your creations. Now you have dishonored me by creating mankind in your image and positioning them above me.

In the order of creation, I came first, and I am above mankind. My wisdom and power is far superior and mankind should not have any devotion before me, nor should he have dominion over any life form that was created after me or control over any area that I occupy.

And God said to Lucifer, I am, that I am, and I am above all that I have created, and even though I have given freedom of thought and action to all my celestial beings, like unto yourself, only I alone, have the authority to decide the structure of devotions, degrees of power and areas of dominion. Now go your way, honor the words I have commanded, and be content with all that I have given you. Then, Lucifer departed from the presence of God.

Now as it came to pass, Lucifer did not honor the words that God had commanded, nor was he satisfied with what God had given him. Therefore, he plotted to corrupt and destroy Adam and Eve.

Lucifer, having knowledge that Eve was of innocence, and had not yet become fully developed in spiritual wisdom, knew he could prey upon her. Therefore, using his celestial powers, He transfigured himself into a beautiful tree snake and positioned himself in the Celestial Tree of Knowledge, and waited for Eve to come by.

Then, when she appeared, He beguiled her and convinced her to eat fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good an Evil which God had commanded not to be picked or eaten. He also convinced her to give the fruit to her Husband Adam, and he did eat of it.

Lucifer knew this would cause Adam to break his sacred covenant with God, and to obtain knowledge of spiritual temptations, and to lose his innocence. He also knew it would cause God to question His Trust in mankind, and Lucifer assumed that God would restore him to the highest level of power and admiration that he once had.

However, when God discovered what had happened and became aware of Lucifer’s actions, He did not restore Lucifer’s superiority, but rather scorned him, gave him the image of a venomous serpent, and caused there to be an everlasting state of enmity between him and mankind. He also banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, and they lost their immortality, and they no longer had a beautiful, safe, lush tropical environment to dwell in, but rather, in the natural Earth with its changing seasons.

Then Lucifer (now called serpent) became infuriated with anger and hate and went before his multitude of fallen angels and celestial creatures and said: God has turned against us and put enmity between us and mankind.

Therefore, we must defile and destroy mankind. We shall become as devils, and attack the weaknesses of mankind which is in their desires, in their need of companionship and in their lack of spiritual wisdom.

We are celestial, spiritual beings and mankind are terrestrial, earthly flesh beings. We have more power and wisdom then they do, and they cannot see us. We can approach them unseen, put thoughts into their minds, manipulate their emotions and desires, and put temptations before them that they cannot resist.

We can cause confusion in their thoughts, weaken their love and faith in God, and cause them to do all measure of immoral and wicked deeds. This will make them impure in the eyes of God, and He will turn away from them.

Then, without God protecting them, we can corrupt and destroy them. We can weaken their physical health; make them susceptible to sickness and disease, cause them to make weapons of war to kill each other, turn them against each other, and cause them to lie, steal and murder one another, to commit rape, fornications and adulteries and all sorts of other wicked acts against each other, and against God.

Therefore, we shall go out among all humans, put temptations before them, corrupt their thoughts and they shall do all acts of evil and become an abomination to God. Then, We will capture their souls and imprison them in our kingdom, keep them from the presence of God and forever cause them sufferings.

God, being fully aware of Lucifer’s plans to defile mankind was not about to allow Satan to have free rein over human beings. Therefore God manifest himself into human form, took the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, also known as Jesus Christ. He came into the earthly world by way of a spiritual divine birth through a virgin human female woman. He was born as an infant male human child and grew to become an adult man.

Jesus taught wisdom to human beings that would enable them to overcome the celestial powers of Lucifer (now referred to as Satan or the Devil) so they could resist his temptations and turn away from doing wicked and evil acts. Jesus also elected to die for the sins of mankind so each human being could be forgiven of their immoralities, their soul cleansed and purified and be able to enter into God's heavenly kingdom for eternity.

However, because God had given mankind the freedom of thought, discernment and to act as they please, each human being would have to choose of their-own free will, to accept the teachings of Jesus Christ; to use that wisdom to live a righteous and benevolent life, or to reject His teaching, and be influenced by Satan, to live an unrighteous and malevolent life filled with vanity and evil acts. Some will even come to embrace Satan, and submit to committing the most despicable and heinous of evil acts.

Therefore, the decisions and choices that each individual person makes, will determine if their soul ascends into God’s kingdom, or sadly, will descend into Satan’s kingdom.

To give you an understanding of just how powerful Satan and his demonic, malevolent followers are, and have been, referenced below are some factual statistics from the Nation of America.

The Work of Satan:

• One in four adults−approximately 61.5 million Americans, will experience some type of mental disorder in a given year. One in 17−about 13.6 million−live with a serious mental disorder such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder.




• Approximately 20 percent of youth ages 13 to 18 experience severe mental disorders in a given year. For ages 8 to 15, the estimate is 13 percent.




• Approximately 1.1 percent of American adults—about 2.4 million people—live with schizophrenia.




• Approximately 2.6 percent of American adults−6.1 million people−live with bipolar disorder.




• Approximately 6.7 percent of American adults−about 14.8 million people−live with major depression.




• Approximately 18.1 percent of American adults−about 42 million people−live with anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder and phobias.




• About 9.2 million adults have co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders.




• Approximately 26 percent of homeless adults staying in shelters live with serious mental disorders and an estimated 46 percent live with severe mental instability, and or substance use disorders.




• Approximately 20 percent of state prisoners and 21 percent of local jail prisoners have “a recent history” of a mental health disorder.




• Seventy percent of youth in juvenile justice systems have at least one mental health condition and at least 20 percent live with a severe mental disorder.




• Approximately 60 percent of adults, and almost one-half of youth ages 8 to 15 with a mental instability received no mental health services in the previous year.




• African American and Hispanic Americans used mental health services at about one-half the rate of whites in the past year and Asian Americans at about one-third the rate.





• One-half of all chronic mental disorders begins by the age of 14; three-quarters by age 24. Despite effective treatment, there are long delays−sometimes decades−between the first appearance of symptoms and when people get help.

• Serious mental illness costs America $193.2 billion in lost earnings per year.

• Mood disorders such as depression are the third most common cause of hospitalization in the U.S. for both youth and adults ages 18 to 44.

• Individuals living with serious mental instability face an increased risk of having chronic medical conditions. Adults living with serious mental disorders die on average 25 years earlier than other Americans, largely due to treatable medical conditions.

• Over 50 percent of students with a mental health condition age 14 and older who are served by special education drop out, have the highest dropout rate of any disability group.



• Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. (more common than homicide) and the third leading cause of death for ages 15 to 24 years. More than 90 percent of those who die by suicide had one or more mental disorders.




• Although military members comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population, veterans represent 20 percent of suicides nationally. Each day, about 22 veterans die from suicide.




• The United States has the largest prison population in the world, and the second-highest per-capita incarceration rate, In 2019 in the US, there were 700 people incarcerated per 100,000 population. This is the U.S. incarceration rate for adults or people tried as adults.




• According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), currently, there are approximately 2,325,000 adults incarcerated in US federal and state prisons, and county jails, about 0.91% of adults (1 in 110) in the U.S. resident population.




• Additionally, 4,751,400 adults (1 in 51) were on probation or on parole. In total, 6,899,000 adults were under correctional supervision (probation, parole, jail, or prison) – about 2.8% of adults (1 in 35) in the U.S. resident population.




• In addition, there are approximately 56,000 juveniles in juvenile detention in.




• Also, in addition to the 636,000 people released from prisons each year, over 11 million people cycle through local jails in just the United States alone each year. And there are hundreds of thousands of crimes that are not reported or counted in published statistics.

World-wide statists from other countries throughout the world are equally as shocking.

It is estimated that there are currently in 2020, more than 20,000,000 (twenty million) people incarcerated in jails and prisons throughout the world.

Never under estimate the power of Satan and his demonic followers.

May the grace of God be upon you always.
