God's Love Story Chapter 2
The Rise and Fall of the Morning Star
The Morning Star has 8 points - Rebirth
The eight-pointed star is a symbol of new beginnings, renewal, redemption, and the creation of the universe. It’s also connected to baptism, which is why many baptismal fonts are shaped like octagons. Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day of his life, symbolizing a new start. Spiritually, this represents the "circumcision of the heart" through faith in Christ. Jesus rose from the dead on the 8th day, ushering in a new era and the promise of eternal life. After his resurrection, he appeared 8 times to his followers before ascending to heaven. The tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe features 8 stars, symbolizing rebirth. Mary, often called the Star of the Sea, is also depicted with 8 stars, guiding us to Jesus. The North Star, or Polaris, known for its fixed position in the northern sky, is linked to the 8-pointed star and has been a guiding light for travelers for centuries. In Christianity, the star of Bethlehem, which led the three wise men to Jesus, is shown as an 8-pointed star. The number 8 also symbolizes infinity — no beginning or end. Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated for 8 days, commemorating the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem in 164 B.C. In the Old Testament, the last month of the Hebrew calendar, Adar, is mentioned 8 times. Jesus began his teachings of the New Covenant with the 8 Beatitudes, which outline the attitudes and values that lead to eternal joy in Heaven. The Greek word for Jesus (Ἰησοῦς) has a mathematical equivalent of 888.
Lucifer saw this most spectacular Morning Star as he fell back among the clouds drifting to earth
The New Morning Star- Virgin Mary was created with perfect Virtues by The Trinity
The Rise of the Morning Star with a Crown of 12 stars for the Virtues
The crown of twelve stars symbolizes the virtues with which the Queen of Heaven and Earth was adorned. The significance of it being composed of twelve stars refers to the twelve tribes of Israel, representing all the elect and predestined. God revealed to both the good and fallen angels the profound mystery of the union between divine and human nature. In this vision, they beheld a woman—the most holy and perfect Virgin, embodying the pinnacle of human nature, graced with every virtue and created more wondrously than all other beings. To this woman, God bestowed the fullness of His grace and gifts, making her the Queen of Heaven and Earth. She would become the mother of the Incarnate Word.
Why Mary ?
No other created being has ever fulfilled God’s will with greater obedience and humility than Mary. She also endured more suffering than anyone else. Far from being an obstacle to Jesus, Mary's role is as a mother to all. To lead us closer to Him, fostering a deeper, more personal relationship with her Son. Who could possibly know Jesus better than His own mother? To ignore Mary or dismiss her significance is to misunderstand Jesus—both as God and as Man. Mary humbly submitted to God’s will without hesitation, embracing her role as the Mother of Jesus.
St. Jerome translated her name as "drop of the sea" (stilla maris in Latin) from the Hebrew components מר (mar, meaning "drop"; see Isaiah 40:15) and ים (yam, meaning "sea"). Over time, this was rendered as stella maris, meaning "star of the sea." The Hebrew word mar also means "bitter," symbolizing the profound sorrow Mary endured. This bitterness reflects the “sword of sorrow” foretold to pierce her heart (Luke 2:35).
The Virgin Mary in the Bible
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is scarcely mentioned in the Bible. Yet, she was the most perfect creature ever created by God, making her satan's ultimate adversary. In her profound humility, Mary remained obedient and self-effacing, never seeking attention for herself but always pointing to her Son. It was part of God’s divine plan—and in accordance with her own desire—that her role would remain largely hidden in the biblical narrative. She was the sacred vessel through which God became man, the Ark of the New Covenant. Mary was not the focus, nor the Word, nor God Himself. Even before her earthly life, Mary was shown her mission while still a thought in the Lord’s wisdom, dwelling in the heavenly realm. At her appointed time, she came to fulfill God’s plan. Through her unwavering obedience, she triumphed where satan rebelled. Through her humility, she overcame his pride. By cooperating with God's will, she restored what satan had destroyed. Mary embodied all the virtues that satan had forsaken. The primary focus of scripture is Jesus, and since the Bible was written through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it was God’s intention to limit details about the Blessed Mother. Her exaltation came after her earthly life, when she was crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth. Mary’s ultimate reward reflects her unparalleled role in salvation history.
Lucifer the old Morning Star- and his angels fell... AFTER... they saw God's entire plan for mankind including the New Morning Star who was perfect in all virtues
The angels who loved and honored God humbly bowed before Him, recognizing Him as the source of all that is good. But Lucifer, already filled with pride and jealousy, refused to bow. He couldn't stand the thought of bowing to the Son or accepting that a human woman, created by God, could outshine him. Consumed with envy, Lucifer rebelled, leading a revolt that ended with him and his followers being cast out of heaven. As Lucifer fell from grace, he caught a final glimpse of the glorious "Morning Star." His once-beautiful appearance—radiant with light, adorned with gemstones, and crowned in splendor—faded away as he plummeted to earth. By the time he reached the depths, his beauty was gone, replaced by a dark, beastly form. No longer Lucifer, the angel of light, he became satan, the master of sin and evil. Filled with hatred, he and his fallen allies swore vengeance against Christ and mankind, plotting for ways to spread destruction and despair. In Satanism and Luciferian beliefs, however, Lucifer is portrayed differently. He is often seen as the "bringer of light" or the "morning star," a symbol of spiritual freedom and enlightenment. In texts like the Satanic Bible, Lucifer is described as one who illuminates the path to personal liberation and self-discovery.
The Emerald Tablets Of Thoth-9
Lucifer fell to Earth, marking the beginning of his scheme to lead humanity astray. His plan revolved around deception, lies, obscuring the truth, inciting hatred, spreading death, and fostering idolatry. He already understood God's Divine plan for humanity. Initially, he believed Eve was the chosen woman he had glimpsed before his fall from grace. However, he later discovered it was not Eve, but the Virgin Mary, destined to play that role.
This poem was unearthed in the caves of Egypt, where the Emerald Tablets are said to have originated. These tablets are considered the foundation of alchemy, occult practices, and Freemasonry. Their guiding principle echoes the divine phrase: "On Earth as it is in Heaven."
Cast was I to the Abyss through spaces unknown to man. Saw I moulding of Order from the chaos and angles of night. Saw I the Light spring from Order and heard the voice of the Light. Saw I the flame of the Abyss, casting forth Order and Light. Saw Order spring out of chaos. Saw Light giving forth Life.
The Emerald Tablets have influenced countless generations, becoming the cornerstone of the occult and Freemasonry. Their prominent motto is derived from the teachings of the second tablet.
The Virgin Mary had one simple Will; to do the Will of the Father
Virtues are exceptional qualities defining a human being—moral, social, or intellectual—contributing to humanity's greater good. Instilled within an individual, they serve as cherished guiding principles and life's ultimate purpose.
Innocence: She is the Immaculate Conception, free from all sin, original and actual.
Humility: In her deep humility, she regarded herself as the least of all creatures.
Obedience: The Blessed Mother lived in perfect harmony with God’s Will, obedient to all in both heaven and earth.
Patience: Knowing her Son’s suffering, she practiced patience and offered her own for others.
Love for God: The Virgin Mary, united with the Trinity, embraced Their Will out of divine love.
Charity: She lived a life of charity, aiding the poor, sick, and outcasts.
Free from physical life: From the start, her physical self died to manifest a spiritual will to serve God.
Purity: Created perfect and virtuous, Mary remained a virgin dedicated to God’s Will, living in purity to honor the Trinity.
Faith: Mary fully trusted and accepted God’s plan.
Silence: Though rarely recorded in scripture, her silence conveyed the Father’s Will profoundly.
Gentleness and Meekness: Through these virtues, she trusted in God and defeated satan's influence.
Jacob's Ladder Connecting Heaven and Earth
Three "3" Patriarchs" of Israel- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
The Virgin Mary ascends the Stairway at age 3 to connect heaven and earth as the Ark
The "Three" Patriarchs of Israel
God made a promise to Abraham to bless his descendants and turn them into a great nation. Abraham's son, Isaac, had twin sons. The older one was destined to serve the younger. Jacob, the younger son, was chosen by God to lead this nation. God even changed Jacob's name to Israel. In a vision, Jacob saw a staircase connecting heaven and earth.
Daughter of Zion- representing Israel at age 3
At age 3, the Virgin Mary, often called the Daughter of Zion (representing Israel), entered the temple. Mary united heaven and earth by bringing Jesus, the Living Word of God, into the world. In Mystical City of God, Mary Agreda writes: "I was informed by the Most High that Jacob's Ladder symbolized the life of the Most Holy Virgin—her virtues and sacred mysteries. 'My beloved spouse, ascend this ladder and pass through heaven's door to deepen your knowledge of My attributes and immerse in contemplating My Divinity.'" The Lord added, "Observe her virtues, meditate on them, and strive to imitate them." He called her to ascend the ladder’s summit, where she saw the Lord of Hosts and the Queen of creation. This vision revealed the path to perfect union with God, modeled by the Blessed Mother. She is a loving guide, leading her children toward heaven.
Mary the Light to Bridge all Religions
She is the mediatrix of all graces and the Queen Mother, Mater Domini, “ Mother of God”
The Western Wall in Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock are revered by Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The original Ark of the Covenant held three sacred items: 1. The golden pot of manna (bread from heaven), 2. Aaron's staff, and 3. The Ten Commandments. If that Ark was revered, how much more is Mary—the living Ark of the New Covenant—who carried their ultimate fulfillment? 1. The New Covenant: The Word—Jesus Christ Jesus Christ, God’s Word made flesh, fulfilled the Ten Commandments written on stone. He proclaimed, "I did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it." (Matthew 5:17) 2. The Golden Pot of Manna In the Old Covenant, manna sustained the Jews during exile. In the New Covenant, Jesus is the Bread of Life in the Eucharist, offered at every Mass. This gift reflects His love and sacrifice for humanity. 3. The Staff of Aaron Aaron’s staff symbolized the high priest’s authority. In the New Covenant, Jesus is the eternal High Priest. Mary, conceived without sin, was chosen by God to bring His plan of redemption to life. Her "yes" to Gabriel (Luke 1:38) allowed the Word, the Bread of Life, and the High Priest to take flesh within her. Sharing in her Son’s mission, she became Co-Redemptrix and Queen of Heaven. If the Old Testament Ark was honored, how much more should we venerate Mary, the living Ark, who bore God’s promises. Mary and the Temple When Jesus cleansed the temple, He honored His Father’s house and His mother, Mary, the true living temple of God. Jesus cleansed the temple on the 25th day of the month, aligning with March 25th, the Feast of the Annunciation, when Mary said "yes" to God, and the Word became flesh in her womb. This date also connects to Genesis 3:15: "I will put enmity between you and the woman... she shall crush your head." Mary, the New Eve, bore Jesus, the seed who crushed the serpent. On March 25th, the seed was planted in Mary, the Ark containing the Word, the Bread of Life, and the High Priest. As Jesus cleansed the earthly temple, He pointed to the New Temple—the heavenly Jerusalem. Mary, the pure Ark and first disciple, deserves veneration beyond any physical temple remnant.
Genesis 3:16“To the original Eve he said, ‘…To the woman 'I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children"
Genesis 3:15 To the New Eve "I will put enmity between thee and the woman. Between her seed and yours. You shall strike at her heel and she shall crush your head with her heel." This verse is referring to a future time. God already had created" the woman-the Virgin Mary" as in His Divine Works prior to the creation. The angels were shown a vision, of a woman, the most Holy Virgin woman, perfection of the human nature instilled with all virtues and made more wonderfully then all creatures. He was waiting for the appointed time, for the Word to become flesh. The “woman” was not Eve but Mary, the New Eve.
Views on Virgin Mary
White light, much like our spirit, refracts as it passes through a prism, breaking into a spectrum of vibrant colors, like a rainbow. In the same way, the light of our spirit shapes and reflects our relationship with Jesus and the Blessed Mother.
Jewish- Old Testament--Mary was an observant Jewish woman
Jews view Mary as a typical Jewish mother. Her role isn't heavily emphasized. (Her Hebrew name, Miriam, became Maria in Latin and Mary in English.) Mary was a devout young woman who served in the temple.
Protestants- Mary to Protestants--heirs of the European Reformation
Luther and Calvin taught that praying to Mary could lead to idolatry, urging Christians to pray directly to Jesus. Mary is respected as chosen by God and an example to follow, but Protestants see her as Jesus' earthly mother, not the eternal mother of God.
Islam-Mary (Saydeh Maryam or Sitna Mariam).
Mary holds a unique place in Islam as the only woman named in the Quran, appearing 34 times. Two Quran chapters are about her. The archangel Gabriel told Mary she would bear a son, Jesus, despite being a virgin. He was chosen by God as the anointed one.
Buddha/Hindu-Mary is perceived as a Mother full of love
Buddhism and Hinduism may differ from Christianity, but Mary-Kannon is seen as a protective mother. When Catholicism was banned in Japan, Christians used Kannon statues, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, to secretly honor Mary and the Infant Jesus, preserving their faith. Some Buddhists also respect Mary and visit Lourdes.
Blessed Mother around the World
satan steals God's plan using Nimrod and Semiramis to change the narrative
Satan foresaw God’s plan before his fall. He anticipated the virgin, the “Morning Star,” who would bear God in human form, and vowed revenge on the Trinity, humanity, and creation. satan influenced Nimrod and Semiramis, using them to sow rebellion and lead humanity astray from God’s path. Nimrod, called “a mighty hunter before the Lord” in Genesis, lived after the Great Flood. Known in Egypt as Osiris, he founded the first empire at Babel, later Babylon. His name means “rebel,” and he defied God so profoundly that it became a saying: “From the day the world was created, there hath not been as Nimrod, mighty in hunting, and a rebel before the Lord.” Seen as a precursor to the anti-Christ, Nimrod diverted worship from God to himself and his wife/mother. Semiramis, both Nimrod’s wife and mother, sought to retain power after his death. She claimed her son, Tammuz, was Nimrod reincarnated, making herself both his wife and mother. Seeing the wickedness, God scattered Babel’s people by confusing their language: “Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” (Genesis 11:7) As they spread, the myth of a miraculous mother-son relationship persisted, morphing into various cultures. This formed the basis for many pagan practices and doctrines originating with Nimrod. Nimrod’s influence explains why false gods and pagan traditions still exist, evolving from the mother-son worship into diverse cultural forms. God dispersed Babel’s people because they followed Nimrod’s rebellion, mirroring the defiance of another key figure cast out for challenging God.
satan's View on the Virgin Mary in his own words
“While I was persistently invoking the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the devil responded: ‘I can’t stand That One (Mary) anymore, and I can’t stand you anymore either.'” Both popes and exorcists affirm that the devil has a profound fear of the Blessed Mother. One of the most powerful ways to combat the devil is by fostering a deep and personal relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary. The devil despises her and flees from those who draw close to her. Moreover, as Italian exorcist Fr. Sante Babolin revealed, "the strongest reactions from the devil during exorcisms occur when references are made to her apparitions." He specifically calls upon the Virgin Mary under her revered titles, such as “Our Lady of Lourdes,” “Our Lady of Fatima,” and “Our Lady of Guadalupe.”
