The Good Book doesn’t waste any words, it says the Dragon “drew a third
of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth” (Rev. 12:4 NKJV)
Sounds like something astronomical.

The reality was a war between good and evil, where the one who had been
closest to Jehovah began to be suspicious and to accuse Him.
Sounds like trouble in Paradise.

We Christians glibly say a third of the angels rebelled with Lucifer and
were thrown out of heaven, but have you ever really considered it?
Sounds like something painful.

God had created these angels - no doubt they all lived in harmony for, perhaps millions of years, in an atmosphere of love, goodness and acceptance, until one started spreading distrust.
Sounds like something sinister.

The covering Cherub used God’s character against Him, saying God’s great power was
for bullying and self-gratification, while the concern was actually control.
Sounds like something deceptive.

Can you imagine something too powerful for the Almighty to deal with speedily? God could have destroyed Satan in an instant, but no doubt that would have caused fear and trepidation.
Sounds like something requiring wisdom.

The angels didn’t know who was correct, they loved both Yahweh and Lucifer. So the
Eternal One gave Satan enough freedom and rope to hang himself.
Sounds like something requiring patience.

After tricking Adam and Eve, Lucifer’s principles were on display in this world for the entire Universe to see - the violence, selfishness and finally the hate that killed Jesus.
Sounds like something pretty revealing.

And to see those third of the angels, believing the insinuations and innuendos of Lucifer
after all the love and millenniums of care - no doubt it crushed Jehovah’s heart.
Sounds like something awful.

For Pure Love to be spun as selfish bullying, cosmic control and divine deception,
and have so many believe it after God had lovingly created them all.
Sounds like something heartbreaking.

How did the Almighty cope; where did He turn to talk it out; did He need acceptance and validation? Imagine the pain from millions disbelieving You and blaming You for all their problems.
Sounds like a SUPERnatural heartache.
