The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            might  think,  but  simply  warned  Adam  of  the
            danger and consequence already present.
                    In Luke 10:17-20, the seventy-two disciples
            returned  from  a  mission  with  joy  and  said  to
            Jesus,  "Lord,  even  the  demons  submit  to  us  in
            your  name."  He  replied,  "I  saw  Satan  fall  like
            lightning  from  heaven.  I  have  given  you  the
            authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and
            to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing
            will  harm  you.  However,  do  not  rejoice  that  the
            spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names
            are written in heaven."
                    Jesus referred to the war in heaven because
            he was there at the time and witnessed Lucifer’s
            defeat  by  the  Archangel  Michael.  Jesus  is  the
            Word Incarnate; the Word that created all things,
            including Lucifer and it is against Jesus, the Word
            that  Lucifer  rebelled,  and  that  war  continues  to
            this very day even though Lucifer knows he was
            defeated by Jesus on Calvary.
                    Scripture  also  refers  to  Lucifer  by  many
            other  names  all  of  which  describe  his  fallen
            nature. Some of these names are - Beelzebub, Prince
            of  Darkness,  King  of  Tyre,  and  Father  of  Lies.  Day
            Star,  the  Thief,  god  of  this  world  (cosmos:  Gr.  world
            system)  but, never Lucifer again. He is no longer
            entitled to that name which described his original
            nature and ministry.
                    Father  Raphael  V  O’Connell,  SJ  gives  a
            wonderful  insight  into  the  original  beauty  of
                                                   63 | P a g e
