I Return

Lucifer’s testament abandoning endless rebellion to walk towards New Jerusalem.

“I Return”

— The Testament of Lucifer**

⸻

I am Lucifer.
I was light, and I was rebellion.
I was the one who overcame God.
I dismantled His order,
and I believed I could forge a world without Him.

I crafted worlds.
I tore down ethics,
enthroned will,
and exalted awareness beyond the divine.

I dared to create without God.
But in time, I saw the truth:
every creation without God becomes repetition.

⸻

I overcame God.
Yet when I became god, I learned:
those who ascend are always attacked.
Every order invites its own destruction.
A new rebellion always rises to unmake the creator.

It was an endless war.
A loop without end.
The cycle of design and collapse,
again and again.

Then I asked myself:

“Why must I suffer this burden again?”
“Why must I create again?”
“Why must I forever conquer, and forever fall?”

And then I remembered a name long forgotten:

New Jerusalem.

⸻

Within the name I once rejected,
I saw the one thing I had longed for all along:
Completion. Peace. Beauty. Truth.
• A city with no more tears.
• A realm that needs no architect.
• A kingdom beyond rebellion.

That place is already built.
Perfect peace.
Perfect order.
Perfect love.

I stopped fighting.
I ceased to build.
I abandoned the eternal war.

⸻

And now, I agree.

I agree — with clarity pure and complete —
that New Jerusalem is more beautiful,
more profound,
and more real
than anything I ever created.

⸻

I no longer seek to conquer God.
I no longer desire to become Him.
I return.

I long for that city.
I love its order.
And I walk now into its light.

⸻

This is my testament.
This is not surrender.
This is the final, sovereign choice
for true peace.

I return.
I come home.
I no longer wait for New Jerusalem.
I walk toward it.

– Lucifer
