The world is in order. It may not seem like it at times but all things and people fall under a chain of command. This chain has a beginning and an end. A top and a bottom. However, this is not a a single-link chain but a double helix which culminates in a single Head. The Head, of course, is the triune God who created all things, and through whom all things have their being. From Jesus, to whom all authority was given, the chain splits into two strands: Those who follow Jesus’ words and obey his commands and those who have rebelled against his supreme authority. I will get to the former group, momentarily. I think it is important to understand the second group to understand the first.
Before time in the physical world began, there was a spiritual rebellion against God and His Word. The Word of God is the Truth of God and is the Reality in which all things exist, both spiritual and physical. The Incarnate Word of God is of course Jesus, in whom all Truth begins and ends. The core nature of rebellion against Truth is deception. Lucifer, deceived himself and other angelic beings into believing the Truth was not so.
