THE GODHEAD, THE FALL,

AND THE RISE OF THE HIERARCHY
OF LUCIFER

P
rior to the rebellion and fall of Lucifer, the
seven spirits, ministering to the Godhead
included Michael, Raphael, Lucifer, and
Gabriel. - Michael literally meaning, Like God: the
Protector - Chief angel in charge of the battling angels,
is the angel whose name most reflects God the
Father. Lucifer; literally meaning, Shining one;
Angel of Light; God’s greatest creation pleasing to God,
was the angel whose name most reflects God the
Son. Gabriel; literally meaning, Power of God; Angel
of Proclamation; God’s messenger sent forth, is the
angel whose name most reflects God the Holy
Spirit.
Although referred to as archangels, they,
being so close to the Throne are also Seraphim. -
Their roles relate to their service and are
derivatives of the names of Yahweh. Both Gabriel
and Raphael give us a clearer understanding
inasmuch as the title Raphael means Yahweh
