Of course there still is music in heaven but I doubt very much if there’s music in hell. Although some of the music nowadays is pretty awful and belongs in hell, from my point of view. But that’s just me. I’m writing this because I am editing a chapter in a novel; it’s an unending process and as I’m writing - thinking about Lucifer, how many people ever wonder about the Lord of hell what he lost when he was thrown out of heaven? How does he feel about what he lost, if he has?
Here’s a note: It’s right after Lucifer has kidnapped the angel into hell - with Adonai’s consent of course - like Job, as you recall. "I leave and return to my own rooms, leaving Miriam to her fears and insecurities, if she has any. She is a warrior angel after all. Anyway, it’s times like these when I miss the music that use to pour forth from me, from the harps, pipes and timbrels. That’s another part I lost in falling from heaven and it’s something I dearly miss. How I love music but the demons or fallen ones would not understand and it would not be something to have in hell anyway; it might bring solace to the misery of this place or the misery the lost are supposed to experience. With a sigh, I go to my desk and pick up the diary, running my hand over the soft leather cover. I sit down to write, having recorded my life since Earth in these pages. As I stare at the blank page, I realize one sentence is not enough. There is too much to say about today and how I feel” Lucifer mutters to himself within his chambers deep within hell. Interesting idea. Now I’m reading a book about the angels in heaven and Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel are great friends; they cavort through the heavens having fun while busy at work. Then the scene changes and we learn Lucifer is a bit too serious as charon of Earth. I think that’s the title by which he is called. The book seems to take the view this is Heaven before the end times when Lucifer ruled Earth and each of the angels, cherubim and seraphim had work, ruling the different planets. Fascinating and discombobulating, because it’s so far off from what most of us have been taught. But what if this author is not so far off. What if Lucifer is in heaven roaming about and the sins we commit are all on us and the angels have not yet fallen? There is no hell. I’ll let you know more once I’ve finished the book or series, which I’m very eager to get back to this evening. If interested, "The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars" book 1 of 4 by Donovan Neal & others.
