II.The Light bringing Morningstar

Once, before the creation of our world and humanity, there existed another higher world than this one with beings that lived there that were very much more technologically advanced than we are even today. And, there, their world was ruled by a very powerful world monarch that they all called the Father, or the All-Father. The Father was the creator of their race first as well. Not much is known about the All-Father, except that he knows all. Meaning, he knows all knowledge that can possibly exist. He used this knowledge to create their kind out of various energies and materials. The beings constructed from light or electricity were called the shining ones or "the angels", while the beings that were constructed out of fire, were called "the djinn". But, one of the angels that shone with the brightest light in heaven, and renowned by most of the angels to be one of the wisest of the sons of God was called in their language "the light bringing Morningstar" because his radiance was like that nearly equal to the sun. It seems, he was also one of the Father's most favored in a way that he had a lot of authority in this kingdom. Among many roles, his main role was "the accuser" of God's heavenly halls of judgement, or in other words, he was akin to a head prosecutor whom helped enforce God's decrees. But, also he was the angel whom wrote all of the hymns in praise of the father's goodness and majesty. So, no one ever expected that the rebellion in heaven against the Father and his Archangels actually was incited by him in the first place.

How did the first rebellion take place and why? According to most of those that were there around the time the rebellion took place, it began when the Morning star made a challenge against one of the Father's decrees. Respectful opinions were always made, so this was not uncommon, per se. But, not only that, in front of all of the entire kingdom of Heaven or "Haven" as some pronounced it, he made the accusation that his decree was also unjust, and unlawful, and bordering tyranny. What was the decree Father had made that he challenged? According to those that were present then, it was over the matter of the use of free will. See, when Father first created the angelic and djinn races, he only "programmed" them with only the desire to please him by helping him run the worlds he created "below" out of the use of his vast knowledge. And, each order of angels or djinn had only certain knowledge or powers according to their class. So, one day the topic of equality came up in the discussion halls. So, the Morningstar rose from his seat and made a comment that shook all of Heaven.

"Why are we not all equal to you, knowing all just like you, able to do anything, and having the same power as you? If what you say is true that we are all equal in your eyes, then how come you are above us all? If we are your offspring of your very own essence, the very essence of your mind and life energies, how come you are much more exalted than all of us? How come we all cannot decide on all matters together?"

After this question was raised, that was when it truly first started. In the discussion halls of the palace grounds. And, that is when I first saw Father look truly furious.

Then Father spoke and cut through the dead silence of the discussion hall.

" You misunderstood."...

" When I said that I see you all as equal in my eyes, that means I value all of you equally, every single last one of you, is equally loved, cherished and appreciated. That does not mean all of you have equal power, knowledge, or responsibilities to any others. For, just also remember, that with great power also comes great responsibility as well. Having all power does not make you a good leader."

"Why do we need a leader? Why can we not all decide on every matter together?" the Morning star asked in a challengeing tone.

"Listen here, Morningstar! Know thy place! Know who created who! who gave who life and even their very existence! If it were not for me, you all would not even exist! But, there is a reason why you all exist! And, your very purpose of existing does not include making all decisions, but it is to do my will! Not your own wills, or each other's or another's! You were only given existence to follow my commandments and decrees in order to help me run the rest of creation! I should have seen it was a mistake that you were to be exalted over most of the rest! That it would make you think yourself better and wiser than even your own creator! But, be warned, O' Morningstar, that before great pride comes a great fall. For, it is your pride that will eventually lead to your downfall, your fall from grace, O' Light bringing Morningstar! As important and wise as you think yourself in your own eyes, Even the sun can be humbled."

" You are all dismissed, even you O' Prideful one."

All, including the Morning star left the hall. But, after that, the Morning star was not seen again anywhere near the holy city, that is until about 40 days later.
