Yahweh Worshipers
Lesson 9
Lucifer the Father of Lies Pt 2
By Lawrence DeMetrius
Prophet Ezekiel writes,
Thine HEART was LIFTED up because of thy BEAUTY, thou hast CORRUPTED thy WISDOM by reason of thy BRIGHTNESS: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may BEHOLD thee.
[Eze 28:17]
*heart Hb #3820 leb (labe) it is the heart and figurative of feelings, will, intellect and the center of anything
Patriarch Samuel writes,
But The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his <Eliab’s> countenance, or on the height of his stature: because I have refused him: for The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but The Lord looketh on the heart.
[I Sam 16:7]
Lucifer began to focus on and believe himself equally worthy of worship that only belongs to Yahweh. He became misguided by his unique BEAUTY and began to LIFT himself up before THE LORD.
*lifted Hb #1361 gabahh (gaw-bah) it is to soar high and be lofty
*beauty Hb #3308 yophiy (yof-ee) it is beauty, a beautiful person or thing and quality present in a person or thing that gives intense pleasure or deep mental satisfaction, whether arising from sensory manifestations, meaningful design or pattern
*corrupted Hb #7843 shachath (shaw-khath) it means to decay and cause ruin
*wisdom Hb #2451 chokmah (khok-maw) it is wisdom in the good sense
*brightness Hb #3314 yiph’ah (yif-aw) it is splendor and beauty
The prophet Ezekiel continues saying,
Thou hast DEFILED thy SANCTUARIES by the multitude of thine INIQUITIES, by the INIQUITY of thy traffic;
[Eze 28:18]
*defile/profane Hb #2490 chalal (khaw-lal) it is to…
1. boar and wound
2. dissolve or profane a person, place, or thing
3. break one's word
Lucifer did this to himself when he began to LIFT himself up before Yahweh in recognition of his own BEAUTY and BRIGHTNESS. He did so within his own SANCTUARIES.
*sanctuaries Hb #4720 miqdash (mik-dawsh) it is a consecrated thing or place, especially a palace, sanctuary (whether of Jehovah or idols), and an asylum, which is…
1. an institution for the maintenance and care of the mentally ill, orphans or other person's requiring specialized assistance
2. an invaluable refuge as formerly for criminals and debtors
3. a haven, shelter and any place of refuge and secure retreat
All of the above is what Lucifer was as an ANOINTED COVERING CHERUB. Per this description, he was once a multi-faceted GUARDIAN ANGEL, who had a change of HEART about acting in this capacity. He no longer desired to serve but to be served.
*iniquities Hb #5771 avon (aw-vone) it is perversity, which is to be willfully…
1. determined or disposed to counter what is expected or desired
2. contrary, wayward, wicked, and corrupt
3. persistent or abstinent in what is wrong
4. turned away from or rejecting what is right, good and proper
INIQUITY is what one chooses to do. Lucifer did not have to commit INIQUITY. He chose to do it just as any free willed creature of Yahweh can. Those who choose to let INIQUITY mature in them will inherit death. Apostle James writes,
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, <fully matured> bringeth forth death.
[Jam 1:13-15]
Yahweh declares that all souls are HIS. But those that willfully abide and die in INIQUITY will inherit the true death, which is eternal banishment from HIS delightful presence. HE said through Prophet Ezekiel,
Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
[Eze 18:4]
The only way NOT to inherit eternal life, which is everlasting fellowship with Yahweh, is to reject it with willful INIQUITY. The Lord Jesus said,
He that believeth on Him <Christ> is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, <not because of his sin flawed nature but> because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation <or reason for his condemnation>, that light <Christ> is come into the world, and men loved <preferred to be one with> darkness rather than light <Christ>, because their deeds were evil <they preferred unrighteousness over righteousness>.
[St Jn 3:18, 19]
Apostle John writes,
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us <His spiritual brethren> an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[I Jn 5:20]
Prophet Ezekiel continues saying,
…therefore will I bring forth the FIRE from the midst of thee, it shall DEVOUR thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that BEHOLD thee.
[Eze 28:18]
*fire Hb #784 esh (aysh) it is burning, fiery, flaming, hot fire
ESH (aysh) is an element that Yahweh causes to come forth from Lucifer's midst, and is purposed to DEVOUR him before those who BEHOLD or REVERENTLY GAZE upon him as his worshiper.
*devour Hb #398 akal (aw-kal) it means to eat
Yahweh is a CONSUMING FIRE. Thus, when HE said to Lucifer, I am going to DEVOUR you, it is appropriate to see Lucifer being eaten up by Yahweh. Moses writes,
For The Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
[Deut 4:24]
*behold Hb #7200 ra’ah (raw-aw) it is to…
1. see, advise self, appear, approve and consider
2. discern, make to enjoy, have experience, take heed and to look up or upon
3. mark, meet, perceive, regard and have respect for
All mortal and immortal spirits who RA’AH (raw-aw) BEHOLD Lucifer as WORSHIP WORTHY, will at the appointed time recognize him as the failure he is in Yahweh's perspective. In fact, they will burn together with him in the DEVOURING FIRE of Yahweh’s wrath. Apostle John writes,
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see <recognize> life, but the <fiery> wrath of God abideth on him.
[St Jn 3:36]
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
[Rev 20:10]
Prophet Ezekiel writes,
All they that KNOW thee among the people shall be ASTONISHED at thee: Thou shalt be a TERROR <to them>, and never shalt thou be any more <worship worthy>.
[Eze 28:19]
*know Hb #3045 yada (yaw-dah) it is to…
1. know by seeing, figurative of observation, care and recognition
2. instruction, designation and punishment
3. acknowledge, acquaintance, discover
4. endued with, familiar friend and famous
YADA is what one does toward another who they find WORTHY OF RESPECT AND HIGH REGARD. There are those who know Lucifer in depths wherein they literally experience intimate communication with and manifestations of him. These are inclusive of those who willingly give themselves to practices of idolatry, sorcery, and witchcraft, under the direct tutelage of Lucifer, his angelic allies and evil spirits.
*astonished Hb #8074 shamem (shaw-mame) it means to stun or grow numb, devastate and amaze or stupefy
This will be the reaction of those who worship Lucifer, when they finally YADA (yaw-dah) or KNOW him as the failure he is in Yahweh’s perspective. Instead of appearing as a place of favor to them, he will be revealed as their eternal place of TERROR.
*terror Hb #1091 ballahah (bal-law-haw) it is alarm, destruction and trouble
In ancient times, Lucifer was worshipped as BAAL, the chief god of the Canaanites. However, all nations were seduced into worshipping him, and embraced idols that represented him within their unique cultures.
Apostle John writes,
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[Rev 12:9]
BALAAM is the collective or plural name per these variations, among which BAALI, was an epithet attributed to Yahweh. This assessment implied that it was socially acceptable to acknowledge Yahweh but only as a member of Lucifer’s dynasty of gods. This is the perfect perversion of truth, which many mortals will embrace until the last generation. It is the lie that supports the worship of all false gods. Yahweh makes it very clear that it is not to be tolerated in the lives of HIS worshipers. Prophet Hosea writes,
And it shall be at that day, saith The Lord, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, <indicating Yahweh as a unique and individual person> and shall call Me no more Baali.
For I will take away the name of Baali out of her <Israel's and all Yahweh worshipers> mouth, and they <Balaam> shall no more be remembered by their name.
[Hos 2:16, 17]
Per the writings of Yahweh’s scribes and prophets, from Enoch to Jesus Christ and His Original Apostles, there are seven truths to consider about Lucifer the Father of Lies.
1. His divine appointment was to cover the Holy Mountain of Yahweh.
2. He possessed great influence in his former position as an ANOINTED COVERING CHERUB and chief director of praise toward Yahweh. At one time, he was inspiration to praise Yahweh in heaven and earth, which is likely why he was created the most beautiful of all angelic beings. However, he became blinded by his God-given glories, and began to believe that he was worthy of praise that only belonged to Yahweh.
His conviction of this was so strong that he committed treasonous acts, which caused him to be cast from his heavenly estate, along with a third of heavenly hosts who foolishly collaborated with him.
3. He has the ability to cause temporal wealth, lifestyle status, and fame to manifest during one’s mortal life time, but only in exchange for worship toward himself.
4. According to the writings of Enoch, Lucifer, being of the class of angels called SATANS, is permitted to accuse mortals of their shortcomings in the courts of heaven. To assist him with his evil work, he has limited authority to designate other fallen angels under his command to geographical areas, families, and individuals, to wreak havoc in the lives of those who fail to honor Yahweh’s directives. However, Lucifer and all wicked entities are subject to the brethren of Christ, when they are addressed by them in the Name of Jesus Christ.
5. He is the chief and father of lies and liars, and is never to be underestimated. Although he was PERFECT in his CREATION, there remains no truth in him anymore at all. Eve’s encounter with Lucifer in Eden reveals that the slightest conversation with him can result in death. The only reason he and his allies converse with mortals is to impart a lie whereby they can steal, kill, and destroy something of value from them. Namely, their holistic well-being.
6. He is the ruler of all angelic and mortal spirits, sciences and systems that oppose Yahweh, HIS Christ, and divine worship.
7. He passionately hates all children of earth, especially those who are restored to divine worship. Regardless of his intense hatred and deceptive power, he and his allies are all defeated by Christ and His brethren.
