Did pre-satan eat from the tree of knowledge first? Did he access darkness first and become carnal wise? Did he represent the tree?
Did Adam and Eve have the option to sin without the tree with Free Will, but they wouldn't have known it was evil so it wouldn't have counted?
Free will according to the Creator is to do the will of the Creator .Mankind was not created without a will subject to death. It’s the kind of food the disciples knew not of the glorious will of God. Jesus our example said his food is to do the will of the father that worked in him to both reveal the will and finish it working as one .
Not the only idea but one I have been looking at. It is in reference to the glory of God who is Light and not only that he can create it but revealing light is the essence of Go .
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
In that way his glory is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
I would suggest Lucifer as the bearer of light was the spirit that protected the glory of God. The beauty of creation before the fall, because of its beauty he desired to be in the place of God as the source. As in look at my beauty and live you will surely As in you will not die why trust the things unseen?
I think it has to do with the unseen glory of God before the fall when all was . . .glory, glory, glory .Lucifer was to reflect the glory not take ownership of it as the author of false pride.. And therefore rob God of his glory
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Ezekiel 28:12-17 King James Version (KJV) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and
perfect in beauty.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 tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast
perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee,
O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 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.
Rather than protect the glory of God he attributed the work pride fully to his own self. . I will ascend to the clouds I will be like God..
Same stones are used as the covering to represent the glory of God used in the breastplate of Aaron, to signify the cloud of presence of God.
Day and night the first three day was performed by revealing his presence (glory) to represent day and hiding it to represent night or evil .The fourth day he switched on the temporal corruption time keepers the sun and the moon. On the last day the time keepers called under the Sun they will have run out of time and the same glory as in the first three days will come back into effect. Then there will be no night.
I would think at the end of three days he discovered false pride in Lucifer (three is used throughout to represent the end of a matter) is the time period God saw pride in Lucifer’s heart and God’s glory departed
