And the earth -- Chapter 01
THE WINCHESTER GOSPELS
IN THE BEGINNING: 1,1 - 1,13
The Fall of the Morningstar: 1,1-1,13
1 So he drove out the man; 2 and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
3 And the LORD God looked to the man and said unto him, I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great.
4 And the LORD God looked to his angels and said unto them, Bow down before the man and love him more than you loveth me. 5 And the angels looked to the man and bowed before him and loved him more than they loved the LORD God.
6 Now the Morningstar loved the LORD God above all else, more than any angel loved him, and he did not bow down before the man and he did not love him more than he loved the LORD God.
7 And the LORD God called unto the Morningstar, and said unto him, Why doest thou not bow down before the man and love him more than you loveth me as I commanded thee?
8 And he said, I shall not bow down before the man and love him more than I love thee as he is flawed and murderous.
9 And the LORD God said unto the Morningstar, Because thou hast not done as I commanded thee thou shalt fall from my grace.
10 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from his side and commanded Michael to cast him into the bottomless pit.
11 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the Morningstar; and the Morningstar fought and his angels. 12 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
13 And so the angel went forth and did as the LORD God commanded him and cast the Morningstar into the bottomless pit and his angels were cast out with him.
