 "question": "Why did Lucifer rebel against God?",
 "answer": "Because God had revealed to the angels in eternity past His plan to create man, initially a lesser being but ultimately exalted above the angels (Heb. 2:7; Isa. 43:7). This plan included redemption to provide a way for man to be restored to fellowship and have eternal life with God (Titus 1:2). When he learned that an inferior being would be raised up higher than himself, Lucifer's envy and pride would not allow him to settle for such a plan. Angels were created to prepare the way for and to be ministering servants to mankind. This was too much for the greatest of the angels to accept.",
