Hebrew: Helel=A word derived from 'halal'
Hebrew: halal=to shine or to praise, used in 'Hallelujah'
Latin: Lucifer=light-bearer
Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
Is.14:13 You said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;
Is.14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
Is.14:15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit.
† Helel tried to sit on the throne that God would pass over to the Son, the Heir. To sit on the throne means attempted to be the ruler. God rules over the creation world by giving orders to angels through the name placed on the throne.[1] Helel seems to have tried to rule over his neighboring creatures in his own way, against God, who ruled by the commandment of love. Helel, who at some point became proud of his excellence and beauty[2], seems to have opposed God's name by accusing the commandments of God's governing principles[3], love and justice, in order to compare himself to the throne. Helel accused God of saying, 'God gave His creatures commandments that creatures cannot keep, but God lies that He gave His creatures commandments that creatures can keep.'[4] Helel accused the commandments of saying, 'Commandments are just the means by which God oppresses creatures.'[5] Helel made creatures misunderstand the commandments, the manifestation of God's love for them.[6] Helel misused the name of God[7] by testifying falsely[8] saying, 'God is a murderer who gives commandments that creatures cannot keep[9] and kills all creatures who fail to keep them.' Helel became a murderer by deceiving his subordinates who accept his false claims and cut them off from God to die.[10]
† Helel argued against God's rule to challenge God's throne, but now we know what his way of governing was, which was not revealed at that time. It is the reign of power, the law of the jungle, the reign of murder that causes the creatures to cry with agony and pain.
Ezek.28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
† Here, King of Tyre is not a historical King of Tyre but a word that reveals Helel by referring to King of Tyre. Historical King Tyre was neither a perfect seal nor a man who received perfect seal, nor was he in Eden, the Garden of God. About the expression 'Helel was the seal of perfection', there may be different views. some may take this expression that ①he was a creature who was sealed. and some may take this expression that ②he was a seal putting a mark on someone. Depending on how to see the meaning of being a perfect seal, the subsequent interpretation may vary, but if we keep in mind that it is God who puts the seal on, whether it means that Helel was the one who had been sealed by God, or that Helel was the seal of God as a channel for sealing other creatures, in any case, since there will be no difference in the fact that Helel was a creature who carried out God's will with the authority in the name of God[11], I don't think this word is misunderstood in the wrong direction.
† The effect of the seal comes from the 'name', the source of the authority that the seal represents. Therefore, to have received the seal means to have the authority contained in the name it represents.[12] Until the Son come and inherit that name, the name the Creator placed in the creation world was on the true throne[13] of the heaven of angels[14], and the angels had been carrying out the orders of the Creator given by that name. (Now, because the Son has received[15] the name[16], God the Son, who is the Creator[17], gives orders without a proxy.[18]) Therefore, the angel who has received the command of the Creator[19], at least for the moment in which he is in charge of the mission, is bearing the name that gave him the mission, and at least for the moment in which he is in charge of that mission, he must have had the authority of the name[20], that is, the sealed angel. And if the angel who receives the command of the Creator conveys the mission of the Creator to someone else by the command of the Creator[21], then the person who receives the mission will also be the one who bears the name of the Creator who gave the mission. He becomes the one who are sealed.[22] So the angel who delivered that mission to him could be seen as a passage to seal, that is, the sealing angel.[23] (Of course, if the person to whom the mission is to be passed on rejects the mission[24], he will not be sealed because he has rejected the name in the mission.[25])
† We don't think about the time before God the Son made Himself nothing. We only think about the period during the Son taking the very nature of a creature. God the Son became a creature, and God the Father placed a seal on God the Son.[26] This also means that the name in the seal, the Father's name, came to belong to the Son.[27] Since to receive the name of the Father also means to receive the authority[28] contained in that name[29], the meaning that the Son has been sealed by God the Father[30] is the same as that the Son has received the authority as the Son from God the Father.[31] (This is possible for the Son to receive the symbol, the 'Name' that the Creator has placed in the creation world, because God the Son made Himself nothing and came down from a position equal to God the Father and became a creature.[32] God the Son is not the one who deserves the symbol of the Creator in the creation world, He is the Creator Himself.[33])
† Through the Son's atonement, the sins of the saints were forgiven, and on the blood of the Son who purified the saints[34], God the Holy Spirit comes upon in the name of the Son.[35] Because the name of God the Son is in God the Holy Spirit[36], the name of God the Son is also in the saints who enshrine God the Holy Spirit.[37] The saints who enshrined God the Holy Spirit[38] become those who enshrined the name of the Son[39], that is, those who were sealed.[40] The saints who take the name of God the Son through God the Holy Spirit and carry out the commands given by God the Son[41] are called 'witnesses'.[42] Since these sealed witnesses are also those who bring God the Holy Spirit to others through evangelism and testimony of truth[43], it can be seen that they play a role in conveying the mission, that is, those who put seal.[44] Authority, the Name, the seal is not just given without reason.[45] Because it is sealed along with the mission to be accomplished through that name, the authority[46], the meaning of being sealed[47] is the same as the meaning of receiving the mission.[48] After being sealed by the blood of the Lamb[49], the moment Israel leaves Egypt, the world dominated by Pharaoh Satan, Israel becomes God's army with enemies to fight.[50] The mission is given.[51]
† Because being sealed means being recognized as God's possession[52], if someone is sealed, the seal proves that he belongs to God[53] and is in a reconciled relationship with God.[54] In other words, to make someone reconciled to God also means that to make him be sealed by God. God sealed us with God the Holy Spirit, in other words, gave us the authority of the name[55], and entrusted us with the word of reconciliation, the mission.[56] Those in charge of the authority of reconciliation are those who are sealed. If they reconcile someone to God[57], God will put His seal on him who are reconciled to Him through them. Therefore, in a sense, the person who makes reconciliation can be viewed as a seal, a mark, the passage through which God put His seal. On the contrary, if someone rejects God's sealing through the reconciler[58], his sins remain, and because he refuses to be sealed and reconciled to God, the peace of God will not come to him. In a sense, he leaves evidence of refusing to seal.[59]
† Helel was a complete seal confirming something. What a seal affirms can be easily guessed by thinking about when God seals it. God puts His seal when He confirms the truth.[60] God seals those who acknowledge the truth as true.[61] After the Son came, God the Holy Spirit became a seal[62], but I do not know how Helel played the role of seal among the angels in the heaven of angels. However, no matter how it was, it seems that God used Helel as a means to defend the truth, the commandments, and to establish rule through the commandments in the heaven of angels. After the fall, Helel put his seal in a different way now.[63]
Ezek.28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the emerald, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was in you; in the day that you were created they were prepared.
† The purpose of making Helel was to give Helel the power of music so that he could praise and exalt God through music. In other words, God created Helel as a servant who led worship to worship the Name placed on the throne.
† Helel was adorned with various jewels, these jewels found on the high priest's breastplate.[64] However, of these gems, the three gems in the third row on the high priest's breastplate are not visible. The 12 jewels were engraved with the names of the 12 sons of Israel, but I do not know what names were engraved on the jewels in the third row. Since the names were engraved on the shoulder jewels according to the ages[65], assuming that the names were engraved on the breastplate jewels according to the ages, the names engraved on these three jewels that Helel did not have, would have been Gad-Asher-Issachar.[66] 'Gad' means 'troop' or 'good fortune', 'Asher' means 'happy', and 'Issachar' means 'there is recompense'. If the name of Gad-Asher-Issachar was engraved on each of the three jewels that Helel did not have, the meaning might be found in when Israel blessed his 12 sons[67] or Moses blessed the 12 tribes.[68]

† Assuming that the names of the jewels were engraved on the breastplate in the order of the camps in Israel[71], the name engraved on the 3 jewels that Helel did not have, would be Ephraim-Manasseh-Benjamin.[72] Ephraim means 'being fruitful', Manasseh means 'God has made me forget entirely my troubles and my father's house', and Benjamin means 'son of the right hand'.[73]

Ezek.28:14 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, [so that] you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezek.28:14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.[NIV]
Ezek.28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.[KJV]
Ezek.28:14 With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.[RSV]
Ezek.28:14 Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, (so that) thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.[ASV]
Ezek.28:14 Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee {so}: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.[Darby]
Ezek.28:14 Thou {art} the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee {so}: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.[Webster]
† There are two main translations for the word 'You were anointed as a guardian cherub'. One literally means Helel is an anointed covering cherub and is the main translation. The other means that God placed Helel an anointed guardian cherub, which is a minority translation. Whether it means that God anointed Helel or that an anointed cherub was assigned to Helel, there is no change in the fact that God entrusted him with His mission, so Helel was the anointed one of the mission. Therefore, I will follow the main translation.
† Helel was one who had access to the holy mountain of God, a restricted area that no one could enter. It is thought that this mountain of God was the mountain of the congregation of the north.[77] A mountain near the throne above the stars of God above the high clouds. Considering that there are many times when the Word is proclaimed on the mountain[78], I guess it was the area where God's throne proclaimed the Word. Compared to the most holy place on earth, it can be viewed as the most holy place in the heaven of angels. I'm not sure what the fiery stones are, but when I think about it as 'stones of fire', 'fire' symbolizes the Word[79], the commandments, and 'stone' is reminiscent of the stone tablets on which the commandments are written. (The 'stone' in the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments and the 'stone' in the fiery stones are the same word as 'Ehben' in Hebrew.) If so, there is a high possibility that the fiery stones mean the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, the legal entity of the heaven of angels on which the Word was written. (Rather than implying that there are stones in the heaven of angels, it is assumed that it is a description of something in which the commandments are written so that angels can recognize it, and the subject matter of 'stone' is used for humans to understand it.) If this means that Helel lived in the most holy place of the Heaven of angels as a cherub covering the true throne and received the words of the Creator proclaimed from the throne, these words remind me of the scene where Moses received the Word from time to time in the most holy place[80] and delivered the will of God to the people[81] so that they could truly serve God.[82] Moses also was a king[83], a priest[84], and a prophet.[85]
† To be anointed means to be commissioned. The purpose of God's creation of Helel was to establish the law of God's love in the heaven of angels through Helel and to make angels love God in the love of God. The covering cherub is the cherub protecting the throne above the ark of the covenant. It can be seen that Helel was originally the one who defended and obeyed the throne that God put His name on[86] and the law of justice that is the basis of the throne.[87]
† Kings, priests[88], prophets[89] receive anointing. It is possible that Helel was anointed in the heaven of angels, on a limited basis, to fulfill the mission of a king, a priest, or a prophet. As a king, Helel would have ruled over the realm he had entrusted and kept it from sin[90], as a prophet, he would have known God's will and conveyed it to the people[91], and as a priest, he would have served as an intermediate link between God and the people and made the entrusted people obey God.[92] But Helel couldn't protect himself from his pride. He killed not only himself but also the people who had entrusted to him by deception.[93] Even though he knew the will of God, he tried to compare himself with the Most High.[94], The priest, who was to protect the people from sin and to lead them to God, became the one who prevented the people from coming to God.
† We can see Helel who was not revealed through the revealed Adam. Adam was also the king to protect the Garden of Eden from the deception of his enemies.[95] He was a prophet who was supposed to know God's will not to eat the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and to correctly communicate God's will to Eve.[96] He was a priest who was to lead Eve to God as an intermediary link between God and Eve and to purify the realm entrusted to him from sin[97] by ruling over the beast.[98] However, just as Helel tried to sit on the throne of God[99], Adam disobeys God's command and eats the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.[100] Adam became a slave of Satan[101] and lost his vicarious rule over the Garden of Eden.[102] By eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not only did he betray God's will, but he could not turn Eve from the wrong path.[103] And he did not properly convey God's will to Eve.[104] Also, as a priest, Adam, who should have borne on Eve's sins and interceded with God, rather condemned Eve and passed away his own sins to Eve.[105] However, if Adam had hope, Helel tried to exalt himself to the throne with his own will, but Adam was deceived through Eve by Satan and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If Helel's choice is firm, we can see that Adam's choice may have an opportunity for repentance.
† Therefore, before the fall of the heaven of angels, Helel, a priest adorned with breastplates, would have been a leader in worship to worship God with praise, and a cherub angel who kept the throne God put His name on. Through that name, he must have carried out the mission of leading the entrusted angels to love God and their neighbors by reflecting the law of love, which is the governing principle of the creation world ruled by that name.
† Because Helel abandoned his position[106], we now take on the role that Helel should have played. As a seal of God sealed by God the Holy Spirit[107], the saints are playing a role as seals[108] that lead others to the Son through evangelism[109] and help them enshrine God the Holy Spirit. As temples[110] that enshrined God the Holy Spirit[111] who came in the name of the Son, the saints are taking the role of consecrating the name of 'Jesus' in God the Holy Spirit and fulfilling the reign of the Son[112], who reigns through the commandments.[113] The saints worship and praise God through music[114] and make others worship and praise God.[115] The saints are kings, priests, and prophets[116] anointed with God the Holy Spirit[117], protecting their territory from sin through the Word[118] and connecting the Creator with His creatures with the blood of the Son.[119] The saints realize[120] and convey[121] the will of the Creator through God the Holy Spirit and fulfill the mission of establishing the Creator's rule[122] in each domain.[123]
Ezek.28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Ezek.28:16 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
† Helel was cast out of the most holy place in the heaven of angels, where there is a heavenly throne. Helel lost the position of the cherub covering the heavenly throne.
Ezek.28:17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
† Wisdom is knowing the Word. When God speaks of wisdom, it always means God's Word, knowledge to fear God.[124] Helel did not use the wisdom God gave him to come closer to God, to see God's beauty, to reveal God and to worship God. Helel was drunk by the beauty God gave him, and defiled the wisdom that he should have used to fear God as a means of exalting his beauty. It is thought that Helel has distorted God's commandments and made false claims in order to reveal his own glory, using the wisdom God gave him to use for God's glory.
Ezek.10:14 Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Rev.4:7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
Ezek.1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.
† Express the ox's face as the cherub's face. The cherubim of the throne have 4 faces, but from the fact that only the ox's face is expressed as the face of the cherub, it is speculated that the cherubim with 4 faces supporting the throne may be special cherubim different from the general cherubim. Whether the cherubim look special or their mission is special.
2Chr.4:4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.
† If the face of an ox is expressed as the face of a cherub, the 12 oxen that support the bronze basin, the bronze sea, would represent the 12 cherubim. If 12 cherubim are supporting the sea of glass[125], which is the water above the expanse, we might think that they are taking care of the task of confining and locking up Satan fraudswarms.[126]
② Many angels were deceived by Helel and opposed the name of God.
2Pet.2:4 For if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
† 'Tartaroo', where Satan fraudswarms are confined, is the Earth within the scope of human understanding. The Son came to condemn Satan fraudswarms[127], and He will come again to punish.[128] No matter what 'Tartaroo' is actually the universe or any larger realm, it is meaningless whatsoever Satan does outside the Earth, because God determined to reveal Satan's reality and punish Satan through Adam. This is because the proof of observance of the commandments, the principle of God's governance, is made only through Adam on Earth. The Creator Son came as Adam, a creature on earth to complete creation.
Jude1:6 Angels who didn't keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
† The darkness that confined Satan fraudswarms until the great day of judgment is the earth as human understanding.
Matt.25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
† There are angels on Satan's side as well as Satan.
Matt.26:53 Or do you think that I can't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
† It is unlikely that the actual number of angels will be slightly more than the 12 Legions.[129] It is said that one legion had approximately 6,000 soldiers, and there were 60 centurions. Even if the one legion had 10,000 solders, the 12 legions are only 120,000 solders. If there were more than 12 legions, He wouldn't have to use the number 12. But He says 12. Seeing that Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 disciples[130], and the tribe of Dan, one of the 12 tribes[131], were cut off from God, it seems that 1/12 angels or one of the 12 groups of angels was swung over by Satan's deception and was corrupted. If not necessarily means all angels, it is possible that there were 12 groups of angels, and Helel might have been one of the anointed chiefs to lead one of them.
| Ω Was the tribe of Dan cut off from God? | |
| View1: Was cut off. | View2: Was not cut off. |
| Judg.18:27 They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire. Judg.18:28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived therein. |
|
| The descendants of Dan cannot find the land of the inheritance[132], but finds a peaceful city called Laish[133], destroys it, and takes the land. Perhaps because of this, the tribe of Dan was cut off from the 12 tribes of Israel. | |
| Rev.7:4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel: Rev.7:5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, Rev.7:6 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, Rev.7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, Rev.7:8 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. |
|
| Those who are sealed do not have the name of the tribe of Dan. | |
| 1Chr.12:35 Of the Danites who could set the battle in array, twenty-eight thousand six hundred. | |
| The tribe of Dan's name appears in David's army. | |
| 2Chr.2:14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to devise any device; that there may be [a place] appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father. | |
| The name of Dan appears in the engineer sent by King Tyre to Solomon. | |
| Ezek.48:1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east [and] west,) Dan, one [portion]. Ezek.48:2 By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion]. |
|
| When He talk about the inheritance that Israel will receive in the new heaven and the new earth, the tribe of Dan appears, so the tribe of Dan is alive. Of course, Israel here may not be the physical Israel, and the Dan here may not be the physical descendants of Dan. | |
Eph.6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
† The church that the power of Hades cannot overcome[134] is fighting Satan fraudswarms running wild in Hades.
† Satan claims that God's law, the basis of God's rule, God's commandments is wrong.
John8:44 You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
† Satan breaks all the 10 Commandments. Satan not only murders, falsely testifies, steals[135], commits adultery, covets neighbor's wife (the Son's bride)[136] and property (the Son's inheritance), and even serves idols (the throne) by having a god (self) other than God, and misuses God's name, breaks the rest of God's creation, and does not honor God the Creator, who is the parent.[137]
1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
† God's law is something that creatures can definitely keep. But to do that, the creatures must be in God's life, the Son.[138]
Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."
Job1:9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
Job1:10 Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
† If Satan's arguments are true and God's commandments are truly unacceptable, all creatures will die. At first, only Satan have fallen, but in the end all creatures will be corrupted by commandments that cannot be kept. If God rules by the law and punishes those who violate the law, all creatures will be punished for the law that cannot be kept. If so, God's justice will be revealed like means to punish creatures, and God's love will be revealed like false.
† But God's law is observable, God's justice is to protect love[139], and God's love is true. Through the cross, God proved His love.[140] If God loves and supports a creature who tramples upon his neighbors, then it means that God does not love the neighbor creatures who is trampled upon. Therefore, if God does not establish justice, God's love is revealed like false. Even for those who trample on neighboring creatures, God is patient and gives them opportunities to repent.[141]
† The Father gives life to creation only through the Son.[142] Therefore, those who do not accept the Son, who do not obey the Son's loving rule, die. Anyone who accepts the Son will live.[143] Those who do not accept the Son break the commandments.[144] Anyone who accepts the Son can keep the commandments.[145] Those who violate the commandments of love dye His creation world with pain.[146] Therefore, God must judge creatures who do not accept the Son.[147] God would not be love if God does not judge the criminals who cause pain in creation. Therefore, God who judges criminals is love, and the creatures who have sinned must be judged because they cause pain in the creation. That is why God judges the sinful creatures and saves those who obey the Son. The creatures come to know God's love and justice through this revealed judgment and salvation.
† Creations exist only by the life of God. Creations can keep the commandments only by the life of God.[148] If creatures can keep God's commandments by their own strength without God, they will be able to sustain their own life and continue their existence without the life of God. If creatures could keep God's commandments by their own strength without God, it would mean that creatures sustain their own life and existence without the life of God. But the creation that creatures who did not exist come into existence, and the completion that creatures who could not keep the commandments become those who are able to keep the commandments are made entirely by the life of God. And that life is passed on to the creatures through love, which is the Son.[149] Through the Son who is the Word[150], God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of life, comes.[151]
| Ω Can creatures keep God's commandments with their own strength? | |
| View1: can keep. | View2: cannot keep. |
God is not the one who gives us commandments that we cannot keep and commands us to keep them.QuestionWhen a creature keeps the commandments, it lives forever. If so, does it mean that creation can live forever on its own? |
Creation can keep the commandments only by the grace of God. Therefore, to those who want to keep the commandments, the grace to keep the commandments is also given. However, because this grace can be rejected according to the will of each creature[152], the creature who rejects grace cannot keep the commandments. The commandments cannot be kept by the creatures themselves.[153] A creature who keeps the commandments and does not sin lives forever. If creatures can keep the commandments that make them live forever, it means that God has made it possible for creatures to live forever on their own, independent of God. In other words, if a creature can keep the commandments for himself without knowing the love and justice of God, the creature will be able to obey the Creator without love for the Creator, and live forever without love for the Creator. But the Creator created the creation for himself, and He wants to connect with the creatures in love. If God allowed creatures to live forever without having to choose, it means that God did not give creatures free will. Creation can keep the commandments and live forever only when they know the love of God and choose to love God by receiving the love of God. In other words, creatures can receive grace and keep the commandments only when they choose to receive the grace of God. Creatures can live forever only through the life given through the Son, the love of God. God proved this love through the cross. Therefore, the cross of the Son is the channel through which the Creator gives eternal life to His creatures. |
| I agree with this view. | |
| Ω Creatures can keep God's commandments only by God's grace |
| Grace is given to creatures who wish to submit to the Son. Without grace, they would not be able to obey the Son and die, but because they received grace, they would obey the Son and live.[154] Grace is a free gift of God for creatures[155], but creatures can reject it.[156] Creatures are able to keep the commandments.[157] But before God proves the truthfulness of the commandments through Adam, the angels cannot know it completely.[158] Before the Son was forsaken by the Father on the cross, God's love had not yet been proved to the creation world.[159] Therefore, the angels were in danger of breaking the commandments. Even if there is no problem with the commandments themselves, if the condition of the creature who has to keep the commandments is imperfect, the creature cannot keep the commandments. When a creature is imperfect, he has the potential to choose the wrong one. In other words, he has been granted free will. If God created creatures impossible to transgress from the beginning, that is, if God created creatures who had no choice but to obey the Creator and keep the commandments, God and creatures cannot connected by love. (Of course, this is a conjecture with the limited thoughts of a creature. If the Creator wishes to do it, it is done. From the Creator's point of view, it would have been so, if he wanted to create creatures completely from the beginning as creatures connected by love with the Creator. But the Creator completes the creation of the creatures in a way that He first proves His love then makes the creatures love Him. If a creature who comes to know the love of God accepts that love, he comes to love God and comes to be perfected.[160] The Creator Father and the Creator Son put the pain of being cut off from each other in the process of completing creation. Even if the Father and the Son are never cut off from each other for the sake of Their creatures, the fact that God is love would never change, but I don't know why God creates creatures not knowing God's love, and then He completes creatures in a way that makes them known His love later. I don't know why God makes the creatures ignorant and only makes them known through learning later. I don't know why God allows his creatures free will so they can choose to obey God or rebel against God.[161]) There can never be a creature dying because God does not give grace to the creature who would have lived by obeying the Son if he had received grace.[162] If so, God will be a murderer for that creature.[163] Unless a child refuses to breastfeed himself even though the mother is trying to breastfeed him, if a child dies because intentionally not breasfeeding him who would have lived if he had been breastfed, the fault lies with the mother. It is not that Helel was the one who would obey God. It is not that Helel was corrupted because God did not give grace to him. Helel was the one who would rebel against the Son by his will.[164] God knew Helel's choice[165] and used[166] Helel's corruption[167], God did not make Helel fall. If God was the murderer, then God would not be able to judge Helel who murdered. But God is just.[168] |
| Ω Could Helel have stayed innocent until the Son came? |
| View1: could have stayed innocent |
| Had Helel accepted the grace of keeping the commandments, he would not have fallen until the Son his Creator came. Had he not fallen, the Son would have completed his free will, making him a creature that would never sin again. If Helel had not fallen, it is possible that the Son took a different way to complete the creation other than the way of Coming as a creature. We do not know how God would complete Helel's free will if Helel was not corrupted. But this assumption is meaningless. God knew in advance that Helel would fall, and He determined to use it to distinguish the creatures who were granted free will through Helel. A creature can love his Creator only when he knows the love of the Creator, and only when he comes to love the Creator he will not sin again. Therefore, in order for the Creator to perfect the free will of His creatures, He must show His love to His creatures. Thus, the Creator would have begun creation with the intention of revealing His love to His creatures. And the mean to show the Creator's love was the cross. Therefore, the cross must have been determined before the beginning of creation.[169] The Creator would have determined to respect the free will of the creatures before began to create. Therefore, if Helel or Adam were not to fall, I cannot affirm that the Creator's determination to complete the creation by showing His love through the cross would have been fulfilled as it is now. If, despite the free will of the creatures, none of the creatures would sin before the Creator revealed His love to the creatures, the Creator would have revealed His love in a different way. In any case, of course, there is no change in the fact that creation is complete only when the Creator reveals His love so that the creatures realize His love.[170] The creatures themselves cannot keep the commandments. Since the creatures themselves cannot completely keep the commandments, the Son determined to come to the creation world as a creature, to complete the creation of the creation world, by perfecting those who can sin to those who can never sin. This is God's grace to the creatures, and each creature can reject this grace or make it in vain. The Son would come to the creation world as a creature and perfect the free will of the creatures through the grace of the love of the cross. Even before free will was completed, creatures were able to keep the commandments through this grace. Only through this grace can free will be completed. And each of the creatures can reject this grace and break the commandments, and of their own choosing, they can reject eternal life given through the Son. It is the grace of God that perfects the free will and makes them completely obey the commandments, and it is also the grace of God that enables them to keep the commandments even though there is still a possibility to sin because their free will is not perfected. Although the creature itself cannot keep the commandments, through the life given through the Son, the creature can surely keep the commandments. Therefore, only those who accept the Son and obey Him can receive the life given through Him and live forever. Angels cannot keep the commandments on their own too. They also become those who can keep the commandments only through the life given through the Son. Angels also become those who love God only when they know the love of God that was proved through the cross of the Son. Then, before the Son came and proved God's love, were the angels in a state that they could not keep the commandments? Do angels who fell before the Son's coming, become innocent because they fell before the Son proved the love of God? Not at all. Even before the Son came and completed their free will, Helel and his angels would have been in a state of keeping the commandments by receiving the grace of God. The righteous angels kept the commandments through God's grace despite Helel's deception, but the angels who followed Helel could not keep the commandments because they rejected God's grace. It is not known in what form the grace given to the angels would have appeared. However, when I speculate through Adam, who can keep the commandments only by the grace of God[171], I believe that angels can also keep the commandments only by receiving the life that God gives them by grace. If Helel was still imperfect and it was impossible for him not to commit crime, no matter what commandments the Creator gave, if Helel would have had no choice but to sin, the Creator would not confine or judge the criminal Helel in Hades. If so, in fact, it cannot be said that Helel granted free will. Because the choice itself is impossible. However, the reason why the Creator confined and condemned Helel[172] may have been because He gave the commandments at a level that Helel could keep sufficiently if he had chosen correctly, even though Helel was in an incomplete state because his free will was not yet perfected. The commandments given in a situation where even a choice is impossible is not the basis for imprisoning and condemning Helel. Helel must have received commandments at a level sufficient to keep with the light he received at that time. The commandments do not change. However, for creatures receiving different levels of light, the level required by the Creator is also different.[173] The more light you receive[174], the more fruit[175] you have to give.[176] Even though God grants grace to creatures to keep the commandments, God does not infringe upon the free will He has granted to each creature. God pours out grace only to those who want to receive grace.[177] To those who reject grace, God does not forcefully pour out grace and force creation into God's love. God gives grace only to the creatures who want to obey the Son to make them obey. He leaves only creatures who obey the Son who reigns in love, and judges all criminals who rebel against the Son. Therefore, those who reject the Son cannot know God's love. Even though God proved God's love through the cross, there are still those who sin. Those who rebel against the Son rather crucify the Son to death. They cannot submit to the Son because they reject God's grace. God does not continue to forcibly pour out grace on those who will not receive it. If God forcibly makes a creature obey who rejects grace and rebels against the Son, if God forcibly pouring out grace on him continuously, it means that God did not allow the creature free will. Even though the Son comes and proves God's love on the cross, those who reject God's love do not love God. Those who reject God's grace cannot receive God's grace. If we do not receive grace, we cannot keep the commandments. Creatures keep the commandments by grace. Before the Son came, He must have given angels enough light to keep the commandments. Until the Son came to show God's love and complete creation, Helel would have been in a state of keeping the commandments. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest lays his hands on the scapegoat and confesses all the sins of the Israelites.[178] This symbolizes returning the will to sin remains in the saints to Satan.[179] The saints who sinned are responsible for their sins, but the saints would not have sinned if Satan had not been deceived.[180] The criminals who do not obey the Son to the end prove themselves through their own act of not obeying the Son that even if Helel did not deceive them, they would have chosen to sin oneday. The saints who choose to turn and submit to the Son, through their act of turning and obeying the Son, prove themselves that if it weren't for Satan's temptation, they would not have sinned. Even if Helel did not fall and the Son would have completed creation in another way, in other words, even if there would not have been Helel's deception, the saints would have kept the commandments of love. The situation is not an excuse for crime. Because in any situation, God gives way to escape.[181] Otherwise, it cannot be said that God has granted free will to the creatures. It is the creature's own will that determines its own destiny. It is against justice to judge a creature for committing a crime, unless it is the creature's own choice. If, at the time of sin, Helel was in a state that he could not refuse to sin on his own will, and if sinning was the inevitable fate of Helel because God gave him an unbearable temptation, we cannot blame Satan for deceiving us. However, Helel could have stayed pure, and Satan must be held responsible for the sin that led the saints to sin. |
| I agree with this view. |
| View2: Helel had no choice but to fall. |
Since the creatures themselves had no power to keep the commandments, Helel's fall was predestined. QuestionSo, did God give Helel the commandments that he couldn't keep? |
| Ω Was Adam able to overcome Satan's temptations and not fall until the Son came? | |
| View1: He could overcome. | View2: He could not but fall. |
| I believe that Adam would be the same as Helel's case. Because God only allows tests that can bear, even before the Son came, Adam would have been able to keep the commandments through God's grace.[182] Had God given us the commandments we could not keep, He would not have told us that we would die if we did not keep the commandments. If Adam were to overcome Helel's deception, God would have used a different method to perfect the free will of His creatures. We don't know what the method would have been. But Adam lost, and God uses Adam's transgression to perfect the free will of His creatures. Now when Adam sinned, God completes the angel's and human's free will[183] by proving His love by means of the cross.[184] Because Adam sinned, bodies made of earth, the dirt, were cursed.[185] The land, which was ruled by the commandments of love by Adam[186], who ruled in place of the Son before the Son came[187], came under Satan's reign, and transformed into a world of oppression, ruled by the violence of the law the jungle.[188] Adam became more difficult to keep the commandments[189] due to the influence of sin under Satan's reign[190] and due to the desires of sin that came up from the flesh, the lust of the flesh.[191] And a human became to be able to keep the commandments only when the law was engraved in his heart[192] through God the Holy Spirit.[193] Whether before or after Adam sinned, there is no change in the fact that only by God's grace can Adam keep the commandments. Whether before or after the Son comes and perfects the free will of His creatures through the love of the cross, there is no change that the angels and humans can be in the reign of love only through the grace of God.[194] This grace is given only through the Son[195], and creatures can attain eternal life by keeping the commandments only through the Son. Therefore, the Son is the eternal life of His creatures.[196] In addition, the creatures are sustained their existence through the Son even now.[197] He knew Adam's fall in advance and used it, not waiting for Adam's fall to fulfill God's will. If Adam had won, God would have completed Adam's free will in other ways. Had Adam been victorious, God would not have tried to use Adam's fall to perfect the free will of His creatures. If God gave Adam a test he would never win, then God did not give Adam a right to choose. If Adam did not choose, God should not judge Adam for failing to overcome the temptation. However, just as God condemned Satan fraudswarms and cast them out of the heavenly temple and imprisoned in Hades, God cast Adam out of Eden, the realm of light that was formed in Hades, into darkness.[198] Because it was before God revealed His love on the cross, even though it would have been a temporary victory, God shed enough light on Adam to reject the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam could have been able to reject enough of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. |
Adam's crime was predestined because the Son determined to use Adam's sin to perfect the free will of His creatures, then He created Adam and brought him into the Garden of Eden. Since the Son would not have come if Adam did not sin, Adam's fall was destined to do so with the full authority of the Creator, regardless of Adam's choice. Adam could never reject the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam was naked. To be naked means to have the shame of sin.[199] It means that the sin was simply not revealed, but in the eyes of the Creator, he was in a state that he would surely sin at any time. Adam loved Eve, who made him happy more than God. However, Adam did not realize his condition, so if the Creator put Adam right before His judgment, Adam would be cut off from the Creator's life and died. Therefore, God allowed Adam to be tested by the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so that he could realize his condition and come into God's life. Whether or not Adam would eat the fruit, Adam was already dead. But if Adam had eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and realized that he was dead, Adam would have a chance to live. In order for Adam to realize God's love and to be truly alive, God gave Adam a test of the fruit, who was already dead and was bound to commit a sin, to make him realize that he died. Adam was in a state that he could never reject the fruit, so he had no choice but to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God gave Adam a test that was obvious to lose in order to bring him back to true life. In fact, Adam could not have overcome any tests, not just the test of the fruit, without realizing the love of God. God allows only the tests we can bear. It means that if we love God, there are virtually no tests that we cannot bear. If we can win even Death, what can't we bear? Therefore, for Adam, who has not yet realized God's love, there must have been no test to be able to overcome. To complete Adam as a creature who would never sin again, God allowed Adam to fall, through a test that was obvious to lose, and made Adam to realize his condition that was already dead and to realize the love of God that proving through the cross. |

| k | Executing judgement |
| The Son throws into the lake of fire all criminals[223] who do not obey the Son who rules by the commandments.[224] | |
| l | Fulfilling rest to all creation |
| Rest is fulfilled in the creation world, and the Son hands over the completed creation to the Father.[225] | |
| Ω Would the Son have come to the creation world even if Helel did not sin? |
| If Helel did not commit crime, but his free will was not complete, so if creation was not completed, would the Son still have come to the creation world? If God decided to rule the creation world as it is now by the commandments, yes. The Son must have come as a creature. Only those who obey the law can command others to obey the law and judge those who do not.[226] In order for a creature to freely keep the commandments given by the Creator, the Creator Himself must reveal to the creatures that He also keeps the commandments.[227] In order for God to perfect the free will of the creatures and give them eternal life, not only must He prove the truthfulness of the commandments, but also prove to the creatures that the Creator Himself, who gave the commandments, is also the keeper of the law. So even if Helel didn't commit crime, the Son would have come to the creation world as a creature to prove that He Himself keeps the commandments. Since the Son determined to complete the creation through Adam[228], it is possible that God did not create Adam if Helel had not fallen. Even if God had created Adam, if Helel had not fallen, he would not have deceived Adam, and perhaps Adam would not have fallen unless he himself had fallen. However, Adam would not have received enough light to corrupt himself like Satan. If Adam fell with enough light to corrupt himself, the falling with enough light would be completely affirming his will, so repentance would be impossible for him.[229] Even if angels or Adam did not fall, if their free will were not completed, so the creation was not completed, then God would have determined another way to perfect the free will of the creatures and eliminate the possibility to sin in the creation world. I believe it is very likely. However, God, who knows everything, determined to use the fall of the creatures to complete the creation, and the Son chose the way to come to the creation world as a creature and complete the creation. (Thinking like a creature's thoughts within the time limit for the sequential change to take place,) After so deciding, God created the creation world. A body without sinful desires is less effective than a body with sinful desires in proving the truthfulness of the commandments. If those who are difficult to obey the law can keep the law sufficiently, then those who are easy to obey the law will be able to obey the law even more sufficient. If Adam, who puts on a body with a desire for sin[230] and seems to never be able to obey the law, can obey the law[231], then angels who do not have the lust of sin are surely proved to be able to obey the law. However, if you wear a body without sinful desires and obey the law, you will not be obeying the law in a situation where it seems that you will never be able to do so, and there will be a shortage in proving the truthfulness of the commandments. Therefore, if Helel did not fall, and if Adam did not fall as well, and if the Son determined to rule the creation world by the commandments as it is now, and the Son determined to come to the creation world to perfect the free will of the creatures, then the Son must have come to the creation world to prove that He is also the one who keeps the commandments, but it is likely that He used a method other than the cross. Of course, He may still have used the method of the cross. However, in the creation world where the possibility to sin remains, but sin has not yet been revealed[232], it will be a situation that perfects the free will of the uncorrupted creatures, so I think there will be many changes that only God knows. But Helel would sin, he would deceive many creatures, and even kill his Creator.[233] Since God already knew of Helel's crime[234], He determined to use it to prove that He Himself keeps the commandments. If no creature would have sinned until the coming of the Son, it is speculated that God, who knows everything, would have settled on another way that only God knows and began to create. From the creature's point of view, speculation about what the Creator would have done if the circumstances were different is a meaningless idea. Since a creature can never become a Creator anyway, excessive speculation from the Creator's point of view only tires the body. |
| Ω Why God allows deception to His creatures? |
| In order for free will to be meaningful, there must also be sufficient potential to break the commandments. Not committing crime in a situation where you can commit crime is truly obeying the law. Therefore, God allowed angels to be tempted through the fallen Satan in order to distinguish between those who serve God and those who do not.[235] Therefore, Satan's deception would have been an opportunity to reveal the free will given to the angels. Angels who would rebel against God would have rebelled against God and joined Helel, and angels who would obey God would have obeyed God and opposed Helel. But no angel, whoever chose to obey God, would have joined Helel, or whoever chose to join Helel, would have obeyed God. Those who would receive grace would have received grace, and those who would reject grace would have rejected it. No external coercion would have occurred in each individual's choice.[236] Without deception, there can be no discernment.[237] Deception distinguishes between creatures who rebel against the Son and those who obey the Son.[238] Eternal life is for those who will submit to the Son.[239] Therefore, God made the angels who were granted free will choose their own destiny.[240] Because of Satan's deception, all creatures who have free will will be divided into those who overcome Satan's deception and obey the Son, and those who join Satan and rebel against the Son. The Son will judge Satan fraudswarms against the Son, and will leave only creatures who will obey Him and will never sin again. Since God will do this work around the cross, the cross is the means by which God gives eternal life to creation.[241] |
| Ω When will the free will of angels be completed? |
| The free will given to each creature is completed through the love of the cross, but since fallen angels would have decided to sin even in sufficient light, in fact, fallen angels would have become irreversible from the time they were imprisoned in Hades. (It may be argued that Satan's repentance became impossible from the time Satan was cursed to eat dust for life after he deceived Adam.[242]) Since non-fallen angels may have doubts raised by Satan's false claims[243], in order to realize God's love and justice and serve God truthfully[244], even non-fallen angels must confirm that Satan's claims are false. That is why God sets up witnesses[245] so that angels can realize[246] the truth of God's love and justice.[247] Therefore, the free will of the uncorrupted angels will be completed when the witnesses come out. It is possible that the free will of angels was completed on the cross, but when we see that God executes judgment on the creation after taking the firstfruits who keep the commandments, it is more likely that the free will of angels to be fully completed when witnesses who keep the commandments come out. If the free will of angels has already been completed at the time of the crucifixion, there will be no reason for God to give birth to the sons of God[248], no reason to wait for the appointed number of martyrs[249], and the angels also will have no reason to desire for looking into the resurrection.[250] |

[80] Ex.19:16 It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled. Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain. Mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. Yahweh said to Moses, "Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish. Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them." Moses said to Yahweh, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you charged us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.'"

Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them. Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
[82] Ex.33:7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it "The tent of meeting." It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent. It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses. All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door. Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn't depart out of the Tent.
[83] Ex.33:12 Moses said to Yahweh, "Behold, you tell me, 'Bring up this people:' and you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.' Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people."
