Thursday: The Fall of Lucifer
Daily Lesson for Thursday 15th of May 2025
It seems incomprehensible that Lucifer once held the position of covering cherub, occupying an exalted position next to the throne of God. Surely his existence would have helped reveal the glory of God to the universe. Instead, he began to consider his own glory, not the glory of his Creator; or, to be more precise, he started to imagine that he was not being given the deference due to him.
Read Ezekiel 28:11-17 and Isaiah 14:12-14. What led to Luciferโs downfall? Compare these passages with Revelation 14:1-12. How does the contrast between Luciferโs fall and humanityโs high position in Christ inform your understanding of what takes place in Revelation 14:1-20?
Notice how Lucifer was removed from the holy mountain, while the redeemed stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb of God. Lucifer is said to have been in Eden; the human race was also once there, but in contrast to Satanโs fate, humanity is being restored to Paradise through Christ. (See Revelation 22:1-3.)
In this context, the following quote from Ellen G. White is very instructive: โHeaven will triumph, for the vacancies made in heaven by the fall of Satan and his angels will be filled by the redeemed of the Lord.โโAdvent Review and Sabbath Herald, May 29, 1900.
And they are there, in heaven, only because of the gospel. In fact, the theme of the gospel, of redemption, is found in a graphic manner in the throne room in Revelation 4:1-11 and 5. For instance, the angels cry out: โ โ โYou are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God, persons from every tribe and language and people and nationโ โ โ (Revelation 5:9, NIV). What a picture of the gospel: the death of Jesus for the redemption of humanity!
Notice, too, how the language reflects the first angelโs message, in which we are called to preach โthe everlasting gospel . . . to those who dwell on the earthโto every nation, tribe, tongue, and peopleโ (Revelation 14:6, NKJV). What a powerful representation of the fullness of what Christ has done for the world. There is not a human being in all earthโs history for whom Christ has not died. Each person just needs to learn about it and choose to accept it.
What role do we have as a church, and as individuals, in letting people know about what Christ has done for them? |

Knowing Bible Teachings Helps Us Understand Revelation
This quarter we are studying how biblical allusions, among other things, help us interpret prophecy. The last book of the Bible truly becomes a revelation of Christ for those who are grounded in biblical teachings. One of these teachings is about what happens when a person dies, and another is about who the angels are.
One of the saddest things I have ever had to do was go to a funeral for a little girl who was hit and killed by a car. At the funeral, the minister talked about how much fun Jesus and the little girl were having in heaven right now. I thought, how cruel the minister was to make Jesus look as though he deprived the poor mother of her daughter so He could play with her!
Jesus does not break our hearts and tear our world apart so He can have fun with our loved ones while we suffer. Jesus will be reunited with the little girl at the same time the mother is โย at the Second Coming. This is why it is so important to study the topic of death in the light of the cross,ย the light of God’s love.ย
The minister even referred to King David as going straight to heaven to be with his son who had died. After the service, I wanted to mention to the minister what Peter said in Acts 2 while sharing the prophecies about Jesus in Scripture.ย
โFor David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: โThe Lord said to my Lord, โSit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.โ Acts 2:34-35 NKJV
Peter clarifies that David’s prophecy was about Jesus and not himself, as David has not gone to heaven yet, but remains in his grave, awaiting the resurrection.ย
The minister then talked about how the little girl who died is now an angel watching over us. Many believe that angels are our dead loved ones. They find comfort in the false idea that our dead loved ones are watching over us, but this lie not only leads to spiritualism, but it also leads to idolatry. It puts dead loved ones in the place of God. I find it comforting to know that God is watching over me. Why would I think my dead loved ones watching over me would be more comforting than God watching over me, when my soul hungers and thirsts for God’s love more than my family’s love?ย
Nowhere does the Bible teach that our dead loved ones are angels. As a matter of fact, in Genesis we read:
So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. Genesis 3:24 NKJV
We know cherubim are angels. Genesis 3:24 refers to cherubim before anyone has died. Therefore, angels are clearly not our dead loved ones. God Himself and the angels of heaven are watching over us now and directing the mission of saving the people of this world, while our dead ones are resting from their labors. I find that way more thrilling and amazing than the lie that my dead loved ones are watching over me. The Bible teaches me that our dead loved ones are taking a deserved rest.ย
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, โWrite: โBlessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.โ โ โYes,โ says the Spirit, โthat they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.โ Revelation 14:13 NKJV
The word angels means “messengers,” and the Bible refers to two heavenly messengers by name. One isย “Gabriel” in Daniel 8:15,16; Daniel 9:21; Luke 1:19, 26. Daniel and Revelation also refer to “Michael,” who is identified as the archangel/chief angel (Jude 1:19) and leader of the angels who fought against “the dragon” in heaven and cast him out (Rev. 12:7). Daniel tells of Michael personally intervening in the affairs of this earth (Daniel 10:13,21 and Daniel 12:1).ย Knowing this helps us interpret Revelation correctly.
While looking at Genesis and Revelation, let’s look at another passage that the lie of spiritualism has skewed.ย
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, โHow long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?โ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. Revelation 6:9-11 NKJV
Many twist this passage to say that the souls of dead loved ones are literally under the altar in heaven. This makes no sense literally, as we will not be living under an altar in heaven. Plus, if the dead are currently in heaven, why would they be asking for vengeance against those who put them in heaven? Knowing that the dead rest in their graves keeps us from misinterpreting this passage.ย
Remember in Genesis 4:10 God tells Cain that Abel’s blood was crying out for vengeance. Abel’s blood was not literally crying out. It was symbolic. The situation was symbolically crying out for justice. Likewise, in Revelation 6:9-11, the situation symbolically cries out for justice, while the dead continue to rest.ย
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is clear that God is love. God loves us more than our family loves us, and therefore the truth about God and angels is comforting, knowing God Himself and His angels are watching over us, and not our dead loved ones. God will also not tear a young mother’s world apart so He can have fun with the mother’s child. When a child dies, God will be reunited with the child at the same time the mother is โ at the Second Coming.ย
The Revelation was never meant to be a “closed” book, difficult to interpret. To all diligent Bible students, the Revelation is truly a revelation of Christ. So, if you want to understand Revelation better, spend more time in really studying the rest of the Bible. Don’t confine your Bible study a weekly Sabbath School lesson, but study the Bible, book by book, remembering that Christ Himself is the ultimate revelation of God. Then you will understand the message God put in each of the 66 books of the Bible, including the Revelation.ย
