Originally, Satan or Lucifer, was the highest-ranking angel of God. The terminology is variable. “God’s Viceroy”, etc. The Seraphic order is the order of angelic being closest to God, logically necessitating the position of Lucifer as (pre-fallen) Chieftain of the Seraph. But sometimes translations and understandings are mixed, and Satan-Lucifer is identified as Chieftain of the Cherubim in an identical sense of, “Archangel of archangels.”
Studying these matters should be no taboo. I read another poster here say “psychoanalysis of the Devil” is irrelevant or inducement to temptation. Not so. The study of Satan-Lucifer is a means of moral prophylaxis and theological purification, allowing us deeper insight into the theological mystery of “evil”, and how to understand the role of evil and how evil exists in the scheme of God. Without understanding both good and evil, we can only be half-Christians, honestly. Christianity does not mandate us to exist as medieval-like peasants, utterly gloom-ridden in mind and superstitious in theology.
Satan-Lucifer, tradition and Biblical texts affirm, was indeed ORIGINALLY the being closest in infinity of essence, to God Himself. I claim no special knowledge here, but we should not indulge in mendacity.
Tradition affirms Satan-Lucifer was dubbed by God the “Archangel of the Crown”, as Vice-regent of the Monarchic YHWH… Ezekiel 28 is key here, the symbolism of gemstones (see Fabricius): the light-bearing stone fragment of Lucifer’s diadem, as he fell and was cast into the earth by God, is the material from which the “primal teaching” (popularly, the “Grail”) the “Cave of Treasures” and other Enochian, “apocryphal” literature, refer to, esoterically… This subject is actually one of the most heavy-duty in the whole of Christian theology… Enochian “apocrypha” is referenced by the Epistle of Jude, we pretend, as a mere meaningless accident. PLEASE.
In angelology, the original name of Satan-Lucifer includes several possibilities:
~“CHERUBIEL”, “KERUBIEL” (3 Enoch, etc.)
~“SERAPHIEL”
~“KETHERIEL” = “Crown of God”
~“AKTRIEL”, “ACHTARIEL”, “YEHADRIEL”: “HAKATHRIEL”: ANGEL-PRINCE OF THE CROWN OF GOD’S JUDGMENT, “Angel of the Lord”…
Hakathriel enciphers CROWN (KETHER is Hebrew for CROWN) and if it means anything (I do not assert one way or the other), the numerical value of Hakathriel is…666.
