Had Lucifer really desired to be like the Most High, he would never have deserted his appointed place in heaven; for the spirit of the Most High is manifested in unselfish ministry. Lucifer desired God’s power, but not His character. He sought for himself the highest place, and every being who is actuated by his spirit will do the same. {FLB 68.4}

Havde Lucifer virkelig ønsket at være som den Allerhøjeste, ville han aldrig have forladt sin bestemte plads i himlen. Lucifer ønskede Guds kraft, men ikke Hans karakter. For sig selv søger han det højeste sted, og enhver som påvirkes af hans ånd, vil gøre det samme.
