Although God made the world perfect, Satan (formerly the covering Cherub—Helel in Hebrew, translated Lucifer in the Latin Vulgate) has attempted to frustrate every aspect of God's plan. The world was originally populated as a home for angels subjugated to the covering archangel, charged with administering the government of God. Sadly, the fallen cherub, motivated by narcissistic pride, sought to be equal with God, challenging one-third of the angelic beings to make war with their Creator. Satan enticed our original Mom and Dad to sin, placing the entire world into his kingdom. Because our parents failed to resist and conquer Satan, humanity has been in abject slavery to sin and lawlessness. Satan views humans as potential interlopers to his glory, and are perpetual targets for famine, pestilence, and warfare. Only God can repair what Satan has destroyed, preventing humans from destroying themselves through nuclear war, biological warfare, or some other dastardly method. When Jesus Christ appears, having received power promised to Eve's offspring, He will bruise the head of the evil serpent, and will destroy the works of the devil, which includes being manifested to remove our sins. Our Savior came because of sin, which has brought humanity under Satan's malicious work, that of believing lies, motivated to hatred and murder, as well as despising the laws of God. Because of Satan (who disguises himself as an angel light) and God's blinding, mankind has accepted a deadly lawless delusion. As we submit to Christ, embracing His laws, we are transferred out of Satan's kingdom of darkness into Almighty God's Kingdom of Light.
