Many people ask, “If God is all-powerful, why does evil exist?” “Didn’t God create only good angels?” These are profound questions that touch on the mystery of God’s divine plan. According to Scripture and the revelations given through God’s anointed prophets, disciples, and messengers, God did indeed create only good angels. However, the full story of how the devil came to exist is more complex—and much of it remains a mystery known only to God.

 The Bible reveals how the world was created, but the creation of heaven and the angels is not fully explained. That part of God’s work is hidden from human understanding. As believers, our focus should be on salvation, not on unraveling every mystery of the divine realm.

 Still, glimpses of the devil’s origin are found in the books of Isaiah and Psalms. Satan was once known as Lucifer, the most beautiful and radiant cherub created by God. He was designed to serve a unique purpose: to shield the other angels from being consumed by the overwhelming power of God’s presence. Lucifer was the “morning star,” dazzling in beauty and brilliance.

 But then, a mysterious shift occurred—pride crept into Lucifer’s heart. Once exalted above countless angels and entrusted with divine authority, he began to see himself as equal to God. His beauty, brilliance, and ability to endure the fiery presence of the Almighty led him to a dangerous conclusion: perhaps he was divine too.

In the depths of his heart, Lucifer declared:

“I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the heights of Mount Zaphon. I will climb above the clouds and make myself like the Most High.”

Lucifer’s pride led him to deceive. He spread lies among the angels, accusing God of being a tyrant who denied them true freedom. He promised a better rule, one where he would be in charge. Tragically, one-third of the angels believed him and joined his rebellion.

 This led to a great war in heaven. Lucifer, once the brightest of God’s creations, was cast down and renamed: Satan, the devil, the prince of darkness and deception, the ancient serpent. His fall was not just a punishment, it was a transformation from light to darkness, from truth to lies.

 In the end, while the full details of heaven’s creation remain hidden, the story of Lucifer’s fall reminds us of the danger of pride and the importance of remaining faithful to God. The mystery of evil’s existence is not ours to fully understand—but our salvation is.

(Isaiah 14:12-16)

The mystery of God is something far beyond human comprehension. Though we are not meant to fully grasp it, many still wrestle with profound questions: How did God come to exist? Who is God? Where is God? These timeless inquiries stir curiosity and spark debate across generations.

As believers, we affirm that the Bible is the only divinely inspired and authoritative record of human history and the creation of the world. Yet, not everyone accepts its truth. For those who reject the Scriptures, no human reasoning can convince them—only God Himself can open their hearts to recognize the Bible as His revealed Word.

When we speak of God, we refer to the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as revealed throughout the Bible. Before any sacred texts were written, God commanded Moses to document the beginning of all things, from Genesis to Exodus. This marked the start of the Bible’s formation, which is divided into two major sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. (The process of how the Bible was compiled will be explored in a separate series of messages.)

The Old Testament centers on the creation of the world and the foundational events that shaped humanity’s relationship with God. To cover every detail would require volumes—far more than a single message can contain. So we’ll journey through these truths in segments, unfolding the story step by step.

Moses faithfully recorded what God revealed to him. Not every detail was included, or else the Old Testament would rival the size of modern encyclopedias. During this time, God did not appear in physical form to His prophets. Instead, they heard His voice—gentle, yet unmistakable.

Adam and Eve, the first humans, saw God before their fall. But after their disobedience, they lost their spiritual status—their “angel-like” nature—and became aware of their physical nakedness. From that moment on, they no longer saw God face to face but only heard His voice.

The Bible recounts this pivotal moment:

“The Lord God called to Adam, ‘Where are you?’

And Adam replied, ‘I heard You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.’

Then God asked, ‘Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?’” (Genesis 3:9–11)

Did God truly not know where Adam and Eve were? Of course He did. But He asked not out of ignorance, but to make them aware of their fallen state, that they had been stripped of their spiritual covering and now bore the nature of flesh.
