How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of
the morning! how art thou cut down to
the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
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.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon
thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to
tremble, that did shake kingdoms. That made the world as a wilderness, and
destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? Isaiah, Chapter 14, verses 12-17.
God is condemning Satan’s influence on mankind,
especially Babylon . Now, if God didn’t like that Satan had tried
to become like God, don’t you think God would be equally displeased when people
professing to be Christians want to have “the god power within them?” I’m no expert, but through the things I have
read in the Bible, God usually gets pretty upset when anyone is arrogant enough
to try to gain the power of God.
