Preview: Call me Ishmael. Well, maybe not. But how about Genghis Khan?

Caligula. Mengele. Bin Laden. Robespierre. Atilla the Hun.

I’ve been them all, and many others. I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes since the fool Adam and his wife were banished from the Garden of Eden by Him. I’ve caused countless deaths, and unimaginable suffering, and have simply been the bane of humanity. If I were a man I would have been driven insane by humanity’s cries for mercy.

Yes, I am Abaddon, and Beelzebub, the Destroyer, Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness (I particularly like that one), the Father of all Lies, Satan, and the Antichrist.

But you know, it wasn’t always that way. You would be surprised to hear the story of treachery, of backstabbing, of the politics that got me to where I am now. Most don’t want to hear it. They read a book by its cover. “Satan?” and then they run off in a panic.

Since time is running short for humanity, what with Him getting ready to make another appearance, let me go ahead and put this story out there so that those of you with an open mind can have a glimpse into what took place oh so many, many years ago.

First, let me explain the phrase “Heaven and Earth” because there’s a lot of confusion. It’s one and the same. It is. The phrase “fallen angel” doesn’t mean that an angel literally fell from a height physically, rather, it’s metaphysical. It’s a fall from grace, not a mileage thing. Heaven and Earth reside on the same physical plane. Angels walk among you, just as outcasts as I mingle too.
