Lucifer: The Story Behind the Infamous Fallen Angel - (Demonology Explained)

Today we take a look at the fall of Lucifer and how he went from the most beautiful angel in heaven to a grotesque demon. We examine the references in biblical scriptures and how Lucifer and Satan became the same figure. We then take a look at how Lucifer and Satan are represented in two works of literature, Dante's Inferno and John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Lucifer:gets thrown out of heaven

I would love it if you did a video on the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I’m sure it be awesomely informative like pretty much all of your videos.

Lucifer and a third of angels: *questions God*

God and Michael: *Y E E T*

[LaiMariee]

“Bloody hell”
“Now tell me what is your deepest desire”
“DeTeCtIvE”
“Oh hello there ladies”
“Ah! Tiny human”

Snakes get such a bad press. You’d never hear ‘and so lucifer sent the gerbil to tempt mankind.’

[Whatahorriblenighttohaveacurse]

"I will make myself like the most high" will now be what I quote to myself when lighting a blunt.

[pyrotechnics]

You forgot to mention how he lost a fiddling competition against a boy from Georgia

[bluestrife]

This is fascinating. Makes me imagine the first born children of anyone, they’re the shining light, the apple of their parents eyes, then they get younger siblings and are expected to just not be a little angry that it isn’t all about them anymore.

A series about the princes of hell and seven captains of hell would be dope.

[sethorlando]

while I love the mythology surrounding many deities I think it is important to look at the historical framing of the devil. Many "satanic" symbols and demons were actually pagan gods. The church in it's spread for power stole and corrupted pagan deities, rituals, and holidays. They gaslighted everyone saying it was satans work and not the church who stole and copied from the pagans. They turned Pan, Cernunous, and the green man into "Satan".

There is a historical side to the devil and the church's hunger to indoctrinate pagan peoples.

"Lucifer began to question his creator and everything around him." Thats just puberty, man.
Anyway thx for the great vid ❤️ they are always a pleasure

Fun fact: The fruit was not an apple, it was never stated in the bible

[Onomatopoeiau]

Sounds like lucifer's punishment was for being too human... Ironic

[ogre]

I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up.

Okay I’ll see myself out.

[Jimi_Henndrix]

He convinced a THIRD of God's angels to leave, maybe there is something about this story that we're missing🤷🏾‍♂️

[christianearlreed]

In an ancient story, they say that God did not banish Lucifer, but when God saw that the kingdom of darkness had no one to rule, he sent his most loyal angel to maintain order and Lucifer cries at the thought that the humanity considers him bad.

[joelleblanc]

Surprised the video didn't talk about how Lucifer was a Roman star deity, son of the goddess Aurora. In Greek myth, he was Eosphorus, son of Eos the titaness. I think this is interesting.. as the King James Bible adopted the name Lucifer when they translated the bible.

And later for Lucifer / Satan the church borrowed the imagery of a totally different greek god.. Pan...in their depictions of a goat-legged devil. Witches and pagans worship a Horned God, so the use of Pans imagery is equal parts a propaganda campaign to fight paganism, and another chapter in Christianity's ongoing appropriation of pagan culture.

[LutherE.Bolkart]

Lucifer and Satan are the best friends the church has ever had, since hes kept them in business for all these years.

[praetor-]

"Now tell me, what's your deepest desire??"

[DD]

Lucifer: 1/3 army of angels
Michael: 2/3 the rest

"The war took many years"

So either lucifer was a great leader and strategist or Michael was the worst one
