An Interview With Lucifer

(Interesting text that’s been circulating on the internet, author unknown)

WHO CREATED YOU?
Lucifer: I was created by God himself, long before the existence of man (Ezekiel 28:15).

HOW WERE YOU FORMED?
Lucifer: I came into existence fully formed and like Adam, I had no childhood. I was a symbol of perfection, full of wisdom and beauty and my clothes were adorned with precious stones (Ezekiel 28:12,13).

WHERE DID YOU DWELL?
Lucifer: I walked in the glow of the precious stones of God’s Holy Mountain in the Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 28:13).

WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
Lucifer: I was anointed and ordained by God as a guardian cherub. My job was to guard God’s glory and lead the angels in praise. A third of them were under my command (Ezekiel 28:14; Revelation 12:4).

WERE YOU IN NEED OF ANYTHING?
Lucifer: (thoughtfully and in a quiet voice) No, nothing (Ezekiel 28:13).

WHAT CAUSED YOU TO LOSE THE POSITION OF GREATEST HONOUR THAT ANY CREATED BEING COULD HAVE?
Lucifer: It didn’t happen suddenly. One day, I saw my reflection in the stones (like a mirror) and realised that I surpassed the other angels (maybe not Michael or Gabriel) in beauty, strength and intelligence. A yearning brewed in my heart and I began thinking about how it would feel to be worshipped like a god. This yearning lead to strategizing and scheming a plan on how to raise my throne above the stars of God and become like Him. One day, I tried to go through with my plans but that caused me to be expelled from God’s Holy Mountain (Isaiah 14:13-14; Ezekiel 28:15-17).

WHAT FINALLY TRIGGERED YOUR REBELLION?
Lucifer: When I realised that God was about to create someone to His image and likeness and therefore superior to me, I couldn’t accept it and so I manifested the true intentions of my heart (Isaiah 14:12-14).

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANGELS THAT WERE UNDER YOUR COMMAND?
Lucifer: They followed me and were also expelled. Together we have made the kingdom of darkness (Revelation 12:3,4).

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MANKIND?
Lucifer: (enraged) I hate the human race and will do everything in my power to destroy it because I envy them. I should have been made in the image and likeness of God (1 Peter 5:8).

WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES TO DESTROY MANKIND?
Lucifer: My biggest objective is to keep them away from God. I encourage them to do what is evil and confuse them in a sea of philosophies, thoughts and lie-filled religions mixed in with half-truths. I send my messengers to confuse those who want to seek God. I turn lies into truths, leading man to practise what is wrong, pulling him away from God, though he thinks he’s close. And there’s more. I make the message of Jesus Christ seem like old-fashioned nonsense. I stimulate pride, arrogance, selfishness, quarrels and hatred in them. I work hard with my minions to weaken churches, cause divisions, discouragement, criticism of the leadership, adultery, resentment, spiritual weakness, greed and an absence of commitment (laughs hysterically). I try to destroy the lives of pastors, especially with sex, money, ungratefulness, lack of time for God and pride (1 Peter 5:8; James 4:7; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 3:3; 2 Peter 2:1; 2 Timothy 3:1-8; Revelation 12:9).

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
Lucifer: (with a hatred-filled look) I know that I can’t win this battle with God and I have little time before going to my eternal prison—hell. My angels and I will work hard to make sure we take as many people as possible with us there (Ezekiel 28:19; Jude 6; Rev. 20:10-15).

SO, AS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYS: “TODAY, IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS” (Hebrews 3:7,8).

God bless you all!
