Words are just words - The Gods have many qualities, facets and attributes.

Lucifer - Satan - The Devil - Azazel - The cosmos/reality, flesh sin - The Kingdom of the Devil AKA Fallen Angels - In the world - Unconscious realms

Hermes - Hermes Trismegistus

Snakes, lizards and devils - spiritually pertinent to the Gods of this world.

The Gods are in their alcoves, but they are also within you.

We ride on the devils back providing he takes us where we want to go.

Satan is the "god of this world"--he was an angel who rebelled when he led Adam and Eve to sin.

Elohim means "God," as in Jehovah God.  And then there is Jesus, son of the most high, Jehovah or elohim.

"Praise Jah, you people!"  Jah being another name for Jehovah in the shortened form.

Oleg, wouldn't that conflict with Satan being the serpent as described in Genesis?

Abdul Rahmaan · Answer

first we have to understand what a Lucifer is! A Lucifer is a light bringer and Satan never was nor will he ever be a light bringer...Satan was created to be exactly what he is

Because they are titles. Not a name and a biblical character

elohim: ruler, one who holds power. Like "your honor".

satan: accuser, enemy, opposer. It is a role one can enter and act as. Not a fallen angel, not an equal but opposite to god. None of that. Probably in the apocrypha or books like paradise lost, but not in canon
