Should this be your initial exposure to this tale, prepare to be astounded. In that astonishment, the thought may slip your mind to inquire about the happenings with the realm of obscurity governed by the entity that evolved as the shadow of the Almighty. Unfortunately, a genuine response isn’t clear. Other sub-dimensions and diverse breeds of evil supernatural creatures exist in what they call the Outerverse. While many perceive Lucifer or His alternate identity, Satan, as the embodiment of evil and wickedness, the true harbinger of evil is the Supernatural Being that evolved from the Almighty’s shadow.
These Beings can also create copies of themselves. I know you are curious about this Shadow of God so that I will add more information about Him. All this can be verified in various Semitic texts, by the way. When Yahweh, also known as Jehovah to Christians and Allah to Muslims, first brought forth light, its brilliance illuminated Him, revealing His physical form. That gave rise to His shadow, which materialized into Azathoth, otherwise the Shadow of God. Azathoth was then exposed to creation, sparking His wrath and igniting a catastrophic war, as He also spawned numerous creations to aid in His battle.
As a side note, when we state that Yahweh, Jehovah, Brahman, or Allah are the same Supernatural Being, with variant names, it’s also important to note that Brahman is a fourth variant of the divine name. The further you explore, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism meet as one religion. Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, the core of all spiritual faiths can be traced back to this narrative about Yahweh’s origin. Whether one follows Hinduism or Islam, for example, or worships numerous deities in other religions, they are all manifestations of the ultimate God and the angels and demons depicted here.
Also, no one (in the dimension of light) can defeat Lucifer in a one-to-one battle. Lucifer is so powerful that He believes He can defeat Yahweh in a one-to-one battle. However, when you combine Yahweh’s strength with that of His angels, it becomes impossible to go near Him. Lucifer could only steer one-third of heaven, which means He was outnumbered. He needs more followers. The angel Michael is Lucifer’s twin brother, making Him equally powerful. And Michael, who commands legions of angels, is fiercely loyal to his father, Yahweh/Allah or Jehovah/Brahman. At the same time, Lucifer sees Himself as formidable, longing to overthrow Yahweh and reign as the Supreme Being of the Multiverse.
Since Yahweh could defeat His nemesis, Azathoth, Lucifer believed He could also defeat Yahweh. The occurrence commonly known as the Downfall of Humanity is when Adam defied God, a chasm formed between Man and the divine. When God replaced Lilith with Eve, it was clear that the All Knowing’s Garden of Eden experiment was not going as planned. It’s important to remember that in this tale, Man, a shortened term for Humankind, was gifted with free will and the ability to make independent choices. Adam and Eve decided to try their luck with the knowledge of good and evil, which automatically meant they could never be in the presence of God. However, God desired to reconcile with Humankind.
We (Humankind) must voluntarily choose this reconciliation, return to God’s sovereignty, and submit to His authority. Despite always being subject to God’s rule as we exist in the realm of light, He created a path to reconciliation. That is our Human story. Well, it’s a Multiverse. There have to be some universes where decisions go as planned. God went to Abraham to forge a covenant with us, earthlings, to rectify our fall. Upon Abraham’s acceptance, it was decreed that all his descendants would have a pathway leading to God. However, some epic baby mama dramas and sibling rivalries derailed the plan.
Abraham had two sons—Ishmael, his bastard with his slave girl, and Isaac, with his wife. Isaac, in turn, had two sons, twins named Jacob and Esau. Jacob followed in his father’s footsteps and became known as Israel, while Esau remained indifferent. God intended to increase the number of Abraham’s progeny as the chosen people who would restore the divine order from the Garden of Eden, which had been disrupted by Lucifer’s interference, causing a ripple in the system. While seemingly invulnerable, the Almighty Yahweh reveals some vulnerabilities in this tale as He faces various opposition to His plan.
Surprisingly, these opposing forces are manifestations of Himself. When Jacob transformed into Israel, a new sect emerged—the Israelites, chosen by God, as opposed to everyone else among the descendants of Adam and Eve or Noah. Yet, with twelve sons, bringing humanity back to God, or at least the Israelites, could only be fulfilled with a promised Messiah who would liberate them. The expected Messiah, known as the Christ, is believed to be a divine son of God. Many Christians say He is the only Son of God. According to the promise, this Christ was to descend from the Tribe of Judah, Jacob’s fourth son.
However, the prophesy also reveals that the Messiah will be challenged by an Anti-Christ and descendant from the Tribe of Dan, Jacob’s fifth son. The majority has associated evil with Lucifer, His followers, and this Anti-Christ. That is because they received a watered-down version of the truth. As we have previously discovered, the true master of evil already exists in darkness, the realm known as the Outerverses. So what’s happening? As a writer, I find this Jewish folklore to be highly fascinating. It was so captivating that it produced three of the most potent religions we know and changed how we record time itself.
