The first page of the invisible creation changed at the dawn of its beginnings. The crisis of authenticity has disfigured Lucifer (the opposite of existential transfiguration), the genius of shadowing light behind the wall of darkness. The fall brought, to the angelic order „foresitter”, the forever loss of its genuine state as virtuous angel. In other words, the guardian cherubim of the celestial armies wished to install an eschatology of disorder and evil in God's creation. In fact, the „morning star of dawn” had in mind to draw „a new heaven and a new earth” where evil, dismantling and chaos were supposed to be the governing laws. His wrong understanding of beings' personal freedom will bring the scaffold of his self-petrification.
