The Original Hater of Reality - Lucifer, Son of the Morning
Lucifer, God’s greatest of all God's creation (Ezek. 28:12, 15), in eternity past enjoyed a relationship to Almighty God. I truly believe there was a point in his existence that he loved and adored and the Triune God with all his heart. He had the chief place as Protector of the Holiness of God(Ezek. 28:14) and was the worship and choir director of Heaven (Ezek. 28:13). Lucifer enjoyed all the heavenly blessings of his rank and position. As events proceeded, though, there came a time when he became proud, arrogant, envious and bitter. In his foolish heart he sought the place of his Eternal Creator and Sovereign for himself, and he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out(Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:15-18; Jude 1:6; Rev. 12:4). Lucifer could have remained in his highly honored position indefinitely, enjoying the eternal blessings and fellowship with His Creator. In his madness, however, Lucifer chose rather to abandon the confines of absolute reality and perfection for a vain existence in the darkness of make-believe and delusion. In his attempt to exalt and preserve himself at all cost, he rejected and abandoned all that was real, becoming a murderer of souls, a tyrant of humanity, a despot to the fallen angelic host and a mastermind of slander, false truths and darkness. He is known as the Prince of Darkness (error, delusion and vain imagination) for thus is his reality (Isaiah 14:17-17; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8, Rev. 12:9).

Facing Reality
In the end Lucifer will give a complete account for his godless existence, in which he will be damned (sentenced) forever in the eternal prison called the Lake of Fire. He will finally have to face the reality of absolute truth for all eternity in a place of torment prepared by Almighty God for him and all his followers (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10).
Lucifer (Satan, the Devil) will be tormented forever and ever by the reality of absolute truth and the righteous perfection that Almighty God demands. The very REALITY that he sought to rebel against and alter will be his eternal abode forevermore.
Are You A Lover of Reality?
As we live in this current delusional day when lawlessness and anarchy are dominating almost all facets of American life, may Almighty God be your trust and provide for you all your expectations. Do you know Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior? If not, may you do so even today. He will provide you with the ABSOLUTE TRUTH (REALITY) and you will never be the same! (John 8:32,36)
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
