4. What did Lucifer’s first sin lead to?
“By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick*** hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.” Ezekiel 28:5,17
5. Who did Lucifer want to take the place of?
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” Isaiah 14:13-14
“Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:” Ezekiel 28:2
Note: Lucifer became jealous of God. he was very prideful and thought that he was just as wise and good as God and wanted very much to be God. The devil is still attempting to overthrow God’s government. he claims that God’s laws are too strict and imposable to keep. he claims that God’s laws are restricting our liberty.
