Questions. All The Time Questions!

 

Alexandre Cabanel’s 1847 painting entitled “The Fallen Angel.”(I see a tear.)

I have a few questions.

 

I have heard that Lucifer was the head musician before the universe was made.

***

Ezekiel 28:13 – Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY TIMBRELS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED.

Lots of other references too. https://www.turnbacktogod.com/lucifer-angel-of-music/

Are Lucifer and Satan the same being?  I know that the word satan means accuser in Hebrew.  Of course, it’s not pronounced the same as in English.  Lucifer refers to light, the morning star.

Some material on that question, that I think holds up. It says yes.

 ***

It makes me wonder if he was involved in the creation of the worlds somehow, since music could be seen as formative information. This is just something I am wondering about.  Purely conjecture.

***

 Is this why he became proud? I have heard that he felt he deserved worship.

Is this where the split came in between physical and spiritual? 

Was that never intended? (Tiptoeing around where I should not dare to go.)

Just some things I have been pondering.

ponder (v.)

mid-14c., ponderen, "to estimate the worth of, to appraise" (a sense now obsolete), from Old French ponderer "to weigh, poise" (14c., Modern French pondérer) and directly from Latin ponderare "ponder, consider, reflect," literally "to weigh," from pondus (genitive ponderis) "weight," from stem of pendere "to hang, cause to hang; weigh" (from PIE root *(s)pen- "to draw, stretch, spin"). Meaning "to judge (a matter or action) mentally, weigh carefully in the mind" is attested from late 14c. Related: Pondered; pondering; ponderation (1550s in the mental sense).
