behavior. Now that they want to repent and seek forgiveness, isn’t this all too late?” As Uriel finished there was a murmur of agreement through the ranks of the Angels in attendance in the Throne Room.
Then Uriel added, “It was the Humans who started Luciferael’s rebellion. Can we not just be done with them all?”
Michael jumped into the discussion and added, “I think I speak on behalf of most of the Heavenly Host, my Lord, when I say that we know that You are a compassionate and loving Almighty, but any forgiveness and redemption should be offered to the descendants of Adam and Eve and not directly to these two.”
They all waited for the response from the Almighty and the Throne Room grew quiet once again.
“Yes, My Angels, I do believe in forgiveness. Adam and Eve can be forgiven but it has to be on the terms they stated for themselves. If they say that they will pray all day to be granted forgiveness, then that is what it will take. It is part of the laws that apply when one has learned the difference between good and evil. If they make the choice through ‘free will’ to do a particular task and specify that they will be forgiven by doing that act, I can agree to it as well and provide them forgiveness. The problem can lie with their specifying that they be given something as an additional part of the forgiveness. They can be forgiven and yet not returned to the Garden of Eden. They can be given eternal life, but not necessarily in their Human forms. But for now they have not even complied with their own rule of praying for the entire day.”
The Angels remained and the Almighty flooded the Throne Room with His love and compassion for other creatures as He spoke. His love quieted any question of strictly applying rules by the Angels in the Heavens and all of the Heavens felt compassion for the suffering of the two Humans. Now it was easier for Jarahmael to continue.
“Michael and Uriel, please be seated and allow Jarahmael to continue his account of what happened yesterday,” the Almighty concluded.
“Thank you, my Lord. When Cerebriel and I returned to the Earth, we discovered that Luciferael and one of his other rebel Angels had appeared before Eve and acted as though he had been sent by you, my Lord,” Jarahmael said, addressing the Almighty directly.
“He called himself the ‘Morning Star’ and told Eve that she did not need to continue praying. That was what caused Eve and then later, Adam, to not fulfill the promise they made yesterday to you, my Lord,” Jarahmael said, and looked around to see the reaction of the other Angels.
“So Luciferael interfered once again?” the Almighty asked.
“Yes, my Lord.”
“That explains the difficulty then,” the Almighty responded.
“Can we not do something about Luciferael and his rebel Angels and their interference on the Earth?” Jarahmael asked, looking hopefully at the Almighty.
“Yes, of course you can Jarahmael, as long as you don’t violate the rule of non-interference with the Humans. They must not know that you are interceding or trying to help them. I need them to learn faith and practice in fulfilling their promises. They need to learn to put their trust in Me and in you, as My Angels. Otherwise, they will just rely on themselves and whatever conclusions they reach.”
“But Luciferael has tricked them once again,” Jarahmael continued.
“Yes,” replied the Almighty, “just as they were deceived in eating the fruit of the Forbidden Tree. I have forgiven them already. I have not decided whether or not I will return them to the Garden of Eden, and will not do so until they fulfill their own self-proclaimed promise to pray for the entire day. I will even give them another chance to comply with their own rule. If they pray all day today, I will consider what they request.”
“But what if Luciferael interferes with them yet again today?” Jarahmael asked.
