The Creation
of the
Angelic realms
“Are not all Angels ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister to those who will inherit salvation?”
Hebrews 1:14.
In the
beginning, GOD who IS Love, created out of Love, to Love, and to be Loved.
Note that LOVE is the beginning, the purpose, and the end to all things. As nothing existed outside of
GOD, GOD took from Himself and created the first beings with independent
existence and consciousness outside of Himself. We know GOD took from
Himself to create life because this creative process is mirrored in man, where a
man and woman come together to create new life. The child is not created
ex-nihilo (out of nothing) but is a genetic part of both parents.
For those of you who believe that life was created
ex-nihilo, consider this: which reveals the Love of GOD more? Creation out
of nothing or Creation out of the self? Creation out of the self of
course. This giving of
“Himself”
in the creation process truly manifests the great and unsurpassing Love of GOD.
The Angelic Hosts were not
created all at once. They were created in specific order.
The Archangels were created first before everything else came into being. These Archangels are supremely
powerful. They number no more than 10. They laid
the foundations for the rest of Creation to come into being. In order for
you to understand this better, imagine hanging up very large heavy drapes over your
window. You made the drapes but there are others there to assist you in
hanging them up. Likewise, GOD brought forth all the elements of Creation,
and the Archangels put them into place. Not because GOD needed their
assistance, but because GOD wanted them to share in His work of Creation.
Archangels ~ The FIRST
Manifestations
Consider the word Arc-Angel.
An Arc can
represent the beginning and the completion of a Circle. A circle
being the complete whole. The
Archangels were the beginning and the completion of GOD's Creation. They
laid the foundations and they tied all the elements and forces into a “whole.” Note also
that an “Arch” is the most powerful architectural structure that
exists in that it can support the greatest amount of weight above it.
A sphere is also the most perfect geometric shape, and the only geometric shape
that can take the most amount of pressure equally from all sides.
Likewise, Archangels are the most powerful beings in Creation under GOD.
To give you some idea of how powerful Archangels are, one Archangel is
equal to at least 10,000 Angels, in power, in strength, in wisdom, in
knowledge. These Archangels were the Heavenly Princes
and the
Bible calls both Michael and Lucifer “princes.”
Being manifestations of GOD, all the Angelic Hosts contained GOD's qualities
within themselves, but the Archangels were the very FIRST manifestations of these qualities. For example, Lucifer was the first being
created as the living manifestation of GOD's Light. As such he is called “a son of the morning”
- the FIRST created Angel of Light amongst many Angels of Light. (Note: Light was
the very first element that appeared in the Physical Dimension).
Internal qualities: such as Love, Kindness, Gentleness, Virtue, etc, and External qualities: such as Light,
Strength, Power, Healing, etc. The
Archangels
were the FIRST Creations of these qualities.
Michael was the first Archangel to manifest GOD's quality of Power, and Lucifer was the first Archangel to manifest GOD's quality of Light.
Note the Order of Creation: both Power and Light are GOD's
primary essence, but one quality is internal and the other is
external.
As GOD seated Himself in all His Glory on His Heavenly Throne, these two
great Archangels stood beside Him. These were the greatest Angels GOD ever
created. Michael, on His right, and Lucifer on His Left. These
Angels embodied GOD's primary attributes in their very purest form:
Michael, the Archangel of Power, and Lucifer, the Archangel of Light. One
being internal (Power) and the other external (Light). These were the qualities of GOD that these two Archangels were to
manifest throughout Creation.
Now please note: this does NOT mean that Lucifer did not have Power in him,
or that Michael did not have Light in him. Not at all. ALL the Angelic Hosts had these qualities within
themselves. What I am saying is
that Michael was the first
Angel to manifest the fullness of Power
throughout GOD's Angelic Creation. Lucifer was the first
Angel to manifest the fullness of Light
throughout GOD's Angelic Creation.
Note one very important thing here: Since the internal precedes the
external, who do
you think could have defeated Lucifer? Out of all the Angelic Hosts,
ONLY Michael could have ever defeated Lucifer. The other Angels
did not even stand a chance. Even the other Archangels did not stand
a chance because Lucifer was the Second
in the Highest Order of Creation. This is very important to understand.
Thus Lucifer is the second
in the order of Creation for two reasons:
1. He was the living embodiment of Light which proceeded out of GOD.
2. Power is an
Internal quality, Light is External quality. The Internal always precedes the External, just as the
Spiritual always precedes the Physical. This is a Spiritual Principle.
These
are basic Spiritual principles that apply throughout all of Creation. You will also note that GOD always does everything in pairs. Satan
does NOT. Satan is a solitary being. So if someone
tells you that Lucifer was GOD's greatest Archangel, they are wrong.
Lucifer was not the first, he was the second. Michael was the first.
The name “Michael” means
“God-like” because he was the first
Angel who radiated GOD's attribute of Power - by which
He created all things.
Since Angels are absolute beings and project whatever they are into Creation, if an Angel sins, he sins completely
and absolutely within his entire being, AND he projects ALL of that into Creation. That is a very profound and important
point. Now Lucifer no longer radiates Light, but radiates
Darkness and Defilement out of himself.
The sin of the Archangels, since they were the beginning and completion of
GOD's Creation,
cannot be retracted. In other words, an Archangel cannot
undo what he has done, because that would mean undoing Creation
itself.
So the fallen Angels are now the complete OPPOSITE of what God created them to
be. And what is their agenda? To inject their fallen
natures of absolute Sin into man.
