No one could summon Lucifer with the subtle force and power like Elohim God….
With a beautiful voice that sounded like the rushing of many waters, Christ intoned, “Lucifer, my son, my brother, and my enemy. I have called you here away from the prying eyes and ears of no one, so that we may have this time to converse and give you the opportunity to be forgiven.”
Glaring hatefully but with the respect due to the Lord of Hosts, Lucifer said regally with a pompous manner, “Forgiven for what, Yeshua? Once every year during the time of what should have been my greatest victory, You call me to repentance-- repentance for a crime that was the result of what?” He paused briefly before he continued.
“You cast me out for a lie that You and the Father named free will!” Circling around Jesus, Lucifer drew himself close to the Lord’s ear and continued,
“If Elohim truly wished us to have free will then He would have seen His folly and allowed me to rule.”
Unmoved and unflinchingly the Lord said, “Folly? True, We created all sentient beings with free will, but there has been and always will be consequences to the choices all beings make. By virtue of divine right, We, because We created all there is, can judge what is good and just. But, We will not force any being to follow the light for that would make them mindless automatons. If they choose the good, then an eternity in bliss awaits them. However, if they follow the lusts and dark desires of their flesh, then a never-ending darkness of separation and torment will engulf them.”
Angrily soaring back from Christ, Lucifer extended his twelve beautiful wings and snarled. “Yes! And into Hell You would commit their souls! And You call Yourself a loving God! What a travesty!”
“Hell was not created for man, but for you, Satan, and those who would willfully choose to follow you.”
… [Lucifer] remembered the anger, the rage, the disappointment. All the anguish in his heart and his eyes darkened. He remembered the war and all the carnage and the broken bodies of his angelic brethren. He remembered the burning walls and the beautiful buildings and edifices crumbling under the weight of armed conflict. He remembered being brought before the Lord on his knees and in chains, broken by defeat. He remembered Hel’El being torn from his very essence, leaving him devoid of the wondrous living light of God. He remembered being hurled, unceremoniously, from the rafters of Heaven, falling and burning as he fell…
Tearing himself angrily from the touch of Jesus, Lucifer, the Devil, roared like an enraged beast.
Breathing heavily, Lucifer screamed at Christ, “I am who I am, and You caused me to be that I am! I am the Adversary! I am the Father of Hatred and Malice! I am power incarnate, and I will distort and corrupt who and what humanity and the world was created to be!”
The Lord looked fiercely back at Satan and said, “Yes, I created you, but not for evil! I created you as the son of light and the morning, but, remember I am the bright and morning star! I am the giver of light and life! You may have influence, but you are pride without humility, aggression without tolerance, passion without love, knowledge without wisdom, strength without compassion, and power without restraint! With the free will I gave to you, you chose not to follow Me, and you birthed evil! Keep in mind, Satan, everything you think that you can accomplish is because you are deluded! Everything you do is because I have allowed, and it is a part of My plan! I AM GOD!!”
The clouds that were around them darkened even more and erupted with thunder and lightning more potent than before as the Lord continued powerfully.
“I am complete and pristine without a glimmer of trespass, and I do not tempt to do evil! I am the author of goodness, righteousness, grace, and mercy, and I pity you! I have offered you more grace than anything, and still you will not turn from sin and evil! For you are beyond redemption and you have sealed your doom!”
Christ, in all His glory, turned His back on Lucifer, who screamed indignantly at Him and said, blind with rage, “Pity?! I do not want or need your pity! You want a war?! Then I will give you a war! And the screams of man will echo throughout the universe as I cause them to betray You and dig the knife of sin deeper and deeper into your heart, and they will despise You and curse You throughout eternity. And then You will know who I truly am!” The Lord paused and turned to Lucifer and said with a solemnity that permeated throughout eternity, “You will try.”

About the Book
For countless eons the seraph Go’El, the angel of divine justice and holy retributive vengeance, has served Almighty God as His arm of justice. From the slaying of the firstborns in Egypt to the destruction of the 185,000 Assyrians and every type of punishment indicative of the wrath of God, Go’El has been undoubtedly the most feared of the hosts of heaven. Now at the End of Days, Go’El walks the earth in human form, charged with protecting a man named Jonathan, who is destined to one day stand against the forces of darkness as the avatar of Christ. Lucifer—or the Devil, archenemy of God and mankind—along with his minions of the fallen, has embarked on a quest not only to destroy Jonathan but to eradicate anyone and all knowledge that would expose the lies and machinations that Lucifer has perpetrated for centuries. The Celestial Knights, comprised of the seven princes of heaven, are all that stand between mankind and the forces of evil.
Set against a backdrop that involves the second coming of Christ, the Antichrist, the revived Roman Empire, and the New World Order, this book weaves together long-lost prophecies, hidden temples, ancient astronauts, aliens and the rebirth of the Nephilim, and an evil so powerful that even Satan himself fears it. This story reveals the true nature of God, angels, demons, and spiritual warfare and how with faith and complete trust in the Lord one man can embrace his destiny and make a difference.
