Up until now, we've seen how fallen angels and their forbidden knowledge have affected the planet. This knowledge led God to exclaim, "and among all the workmanship of mine hands, there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren." (Moses 7:36)
Why is this the case?
What is different about this planet when compared to others?
Why does this planet have such wickedness?
I posit that we have something going on here that is unique. We have a being that is more evil than the other creations.
This most will be more controversial, so if there are things outside of your paradigm, let them sit until you find evidence for or against them.
Doctrine and Covenants 76:25-27
25 And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,
26 And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him—he was Lucifer, a son of the morning.
27 And we beheld, and lo, he is fallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!
Here we have Lucifer, an angel in the presence of God, that rebelled. Why did he rebel? Had he seen someone else rebel?
Doctrine and Covenants 76:27 and 28
28 And while we were yet in the Spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision; for we beheld Satan, that old serpent, even the devil, who rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our God and his Christ—
29 Wherefore, he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about.
Here we have another being that makes war against God and his Christ. Wait a minute. God has a Christ? If it were referring to His only Begotten, it would say Son. This must be referring to the Christ that redeemed God long ago.
We have Lucifer that fights against us and our Savior, then we have the devil, whose title is Satan, making war with our God and his Christ. I wonder how common it is to have a being capable of making war with God in this manner.
I'm suggesting that this is not common at all, such that ours is the only planet with such a being involved. This being could have influenced Lucifer to fall, leading the angels to fall also. There are many questions about this to ask and ponder. I'll leave that up to the reader.
On another note regarding the fallen angels, it would seem that the Genesis account explains how the second incursion occurs, but does not explain how it wouldn't lead to the whole earth being corrupt again.
In Genesis 6, we read:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, When the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men...
Did you catch that?
The sons of God came in unto the daughters of men in those days, and also after that.
Sure does give new light to this verse.
I'll get to how former wickedness gets promulgated to today in future posts.
