Satan's Perspective

God created this great big beautiful world and everything in it. He created me, Lucifer. I have many names, Lucifer being one of them.

In the beginning, I was one of the greatest archangels. I was very good-looking, smart and talented in so many ways. There was no one as good as I thought I was. I was the total package. I'd sit in front of the mirror for hours admiring my reflection. I'd say,' mirror mirror on the wall, who's the greatest of them all?' well, it was me of course. So what if I was vain, prideful and greedy. I wanted everyone to admire only me. so, I hatched a plan; I'd show God that He wasn't the greatest.

I called a meeting to see how many of God's children would come over to my way of thinking. I was a pretty convincing speaker. Just had a way with words. As it turned out, I drew 1/3 of his children away from Him. No small feat. They took a walk on the wild side with me. Uh oh!! God was furious with me, and so disappointed with his children. He was so angry that He destroyed that first age, and everything in it. I stood in the wings, waiting to see what would happen next. God decided to create a new world age, He would make man flesh. There would be a redeemer born to gather his children back to Him. every soul that was in the first age would have to come through the womb. God created everything again, and a new age began.

God created the fowls of the air and water and animals of the earth. Then He created mankind, male and female. Some were hunters and others were fishermen and some were gatherers. He was pretty well satisfied with his work. He rested awhile, then realized that He needed a farmer to till the earth, so He formed a man, whom He named Adam. He also created animals to help Adam with his work. then God took the curve from Adam's side while He slept and made a woman, whom He called Eve. This woman would help Him. Christ the Redeemer would come from the seed of these two people.

However, I wasn't going to let that happen. I took action, and started making my moves on Eve. I wholly seduced her with my charms and good looks. I whispered sweet-nothings in her ear. I really laid it on thick. She just couldn't resist me. I was so effective, that she even encouraged Adam to take part, which he did. Eve became pregnant with my child, then Adam knew her and she became pregnant with his child. Twins! Imagine that! I was doing my part to pollute the seed-line. My son Cain, was born first, then she continued in labor and had Adam's son, Abel.

Cain was everything I wanted Him to be. He wanted to be top-dog. He was a chip off the old block. Abel was a good kid, but He was no match for Cain. Cain rose up and killed Abel because of jealousy. Now, I guessed the seed-line was cut off. I was feeling pretty secure. But wait--not so fast--God intervened and Adam and Eve had another child named Seth to replace Abel. Foiled again!

Most all the people had corrupted their seed-line with the fallen angels who left their heavenly abode, not to be born of woman, but to seduce her, except Noah and his family, their pedigree was pure. Their union produced giants, which were against God's natural order of things. God didn't like it one little bit, He caused a great flood to destroy the giants and he marched those fallen angels off in chains, awaiting judgment. Only Noah and his family were saved on the ark. Many year later, God's plan was still going forward as planned. God sent his angel Gabriel to tell a young girl that she had been chosen to carry God's child, Christ, the Redeemer.

I was fit to be tied, but there was nothing I could do at that time. The child was born, but I was going to see that He didn't live long enough to cause me any problems. I still had a few tricks up my sleeves. King Herod had heard about the miracle child and was jealous and felt threatened. He ordered all male children two years and under, to be killed. I thought surely the child had been killed and my problems were over. Wrong! He escaped death, this time.

As He grew into manhood, Christ preached the gospel to all who would listen. Many were converted. This made the religious leaders nervous and agitated. Who did this man think He was anyway? They wanted Him out of the way. They plotted against Him, lied about Him, they even had one of his own, betray Him. He was crucified and died on a cross. finally, He was gone...out of my way for good.

But in three days He rose from the grave. I couldn't believe it! It was true though, the whole town knew He had risen.

After a while He ascended into heaven to sit at his father's right hand. The very place that I want to sit. I've read that Christ will return to earth some day. He never gives up, does He? Well, neither do I!

But before He arrives, I will have already come and set up my kingdom with all my old cronies. What a hay day we will have. I'll be snapping my fingers left and right, performing miracles or so it would seem and the world will be in awe of me.

I seduced them in the first age, and I am going to do it again. Let them put me in chains and throw me in a pit for 1,000 years. When I am released, I will still have a few things to say.
