The Lucifer Rebellion
Lucifer was a brilliant primary Lanonandek Son of Nebadon. He had experienced service in many systems, had been a high counselor of his group, and was distinguished for wisdom, sagacity, and efficiency. Lucifer was number 37 of his order, and when commissioned by the Melchizedeks, he was designated as one of the one hundred most able and brilliant personalities in more than seven hundred thousand of his kind. From such a magnificent beginning, through evil and error, he embraced sin and now is numbered as one of three System Sovereigns in Nebadon who have succumbed to the urge of self and surrendered to the sophistry of spurious personal liberty -- rejection of universe allegiance and disregard of fraternal obligations, blindness to cosmic relationships. In the universe of Nebadon, the domain of Christ Michael, there are ten thousand systems of inhabited worlds. In all the history of Lanonandek Sons, in all their work throughout these thousands of systems and at the universe headquarters, only three System Sovereigns have ever been found in contempt of the government of the Creator Son.

The Leaders of the Rebellion Upon the triumph of Michael, "Gabriel came down from Salvington and bound the dragon, all the rebel leaders, for an age." The Causes of Rebellion It is very difficult to point out the exact cause or causes which finally culminated in the Lucifer rebellion. The Lucifer Manifesto Whatever the early origins of trouble in the hearts of Lucifer and Satan, the final outbreak took form as the Lucifer Declaration of Liberty. The cause of the rebels was stated under three heads... Outbreak of the Rebellion Self-assertion was the battle cry of the Lucifer rebellion. Nature of the Conflict While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more deadly... A Loyal Seraphic Commander The seraphic leader was spiritually blinded by the brilliant personality of Lucifer; his charming ways fascinated the lower orders of celestial beings. History of the Lucifer Rebellion The Lucifer rebellion was system wide. Thirty-seven seceding Planetary Princes swung their world administrations largely to the side of the archrebel. The Son of Man on Earth The Son of Man was confident of success, and he knew that his triumph on your world would forever settle the status of his age-long enemies... Present Status of the Rebellion Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael. Return from The Lucifer Rebellion to Home
