The classic, 'Paradise Lost' written by Milton is definitely one of contemporary pragmatics that divulge a what if scenario in Biblical Scripture.
Though I admit that I had some difficulty in compltely digesting the continuum of this work, I couldn't help but percieve how Milton illustrated a sympathetic view towards Lucifer. As almost a 'lost' son. Who looks for attention and relegates actions unto humanity to merely attract the attention of The Most High.
Whereas Lucifer's cohorts, Belzebub, et al, were vehemntly opposed to reconciliation with the Angelic Forces and re-communion with The Most High, Lucifer even considers the idea.
Lucifer's escape from the Sheol (Hell) and ultimate discovery of The Most High's newest creations (Humanity per se Adam et Eve) angered Lucifer. I couldn't help but observe a jealous tone in the fallen Cherubim, who was blind with envy in how the Lord adored His newest creations.
I admit, the hairs of my body rose when I read this book.
Scary, enlightening, entertaining, all in the same time. Same experience.
Your views? Any?
