Lucifer ... , before his rebellion, was a high and exalted angel, next in honor to God’s dear Son. His countenance, like those of the other angels, was mild and expressive of happiness. His forehead was high and broad, showing a powerful intellect. His form was perfect; his bearing noble and majestic. A special light beamed in his countenance and shone around him brighter and more beautiful than around the other angels; yet Christ, God’s dear Son, had the pre-eminence over all the angelic host. He was one with the Father before the angels were created.... {FLB 67.2}

”Før oprøret var Lucifer den højeste og mest eksalterede engel, rangeret før Guds dyrebare Søn. Ligesom de andre engle var hans udtryk mild og udtrykkelig lykke. Hans pande var høj og bred, og viste et mægtigt intellekt. Hans form var fuldkommen; hans optrædning ædel og majestætisk. Et særligt lys strålede ud af hans ansigt, og omstrålede ham klarere og mere skøn end de andre engle omkring ham; dog havde Kristus, Guds kære Søn, forrang over englehæren. Han var ét med Faderen før englene blev skabt. . . .
