The Bible sometimes dances between poetic truth and mythic plagiarism, but one tale that remains potent is that of an archangel — one who was “chosen.”
Lucifer Morningstar, crafted of pure light by the hands of the Creator(-ix), was a being of unmatched beauty. Not bound by race, gender, or form, Lucifer embodied the Creator’s radiance. Angels, after all, are not human. They predate humanity, are androgynous, and were never made for reproduction or fleshly temptation.
Among the celestial hierarchy, Lucifer was of the highest order — second only to Michael and the Creator themselves. But when instructed to guard the Creator’s newest material experiment — humanity — Lucifer scoffed. He was offended. Why should a being of his stature protect such fragile, self-destructive creatures?
Instead of obeying, he rebelled. Not quietly — but loudly, politically. He spread dissatisfaction among angels of every rank, planting seeds of discord from seraph to cherub. He led a cosmic revolt, not just against duty, but against the very architecture of divine order.
The rebellion failed.
He and his allies — former lights of heaven — were defeated, stripped of status and grace. His siblings, his peers, his own division turned against him. The Creator, with sorrow, cast him out. Wings clipped. Glory dimmed. He fell — into one of the lower realms, cast as the reluctant ruler of one of many Hells.
And in a tragic twist of fate, Lucifer ended up doing exactly what he refused to do: guard humanity. Not in the flesh, but in spirit. Not from above, but from the shadows — a watcher, a tempter, a challenger — but still a guardian in the divine machinery.
What does this story teach?1. You cannot escape your destiny.
Even if you run from it in the physical world, it will confront you in the spiritual.
2. Lucifer was thrice chosen.
Chosen by the Creator. Chosen by his angelic peers. Chosen by rebels to lead. And yet — he still fell, undone by pride, ego, envy, greed, and audacity.
3. False support does not equal right direction.
An army may back your rebellion, but divine justice overrides popularity. If you're off your path, the universe will correct you — even if it breaks you in the process.
4. Being “chosen” doesn’t make you righteous.
Many faiths claim chosenness: Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Mormons, and even initiates in ATRs. But when your belief becomes a weapon of supremacy, you mirror the arrogance of Lucifer. That path, too, ends in a fall.
5. You are not superior because of what you believe.
Heaven can’t be bought, demanded, or faked. Even the chosen can disappoint the divine. Destiny is alignment — not entitlement. If you resist it, you suffer. If your enemy aligns with it, they rise while you fall.
