Summary/Abstract: The first page of the invisible creation changed at the dawn of its beginnings. The crisisof authenticity has disfigured Lucifer (the opposite of existential transfiguration), thegenius of shadowing light behind the wall of darkness. The fall brought, to the angelicorder „foresitter”, the forever loss of its genuine state as virtuous angel. In otherwords, the guardian cherubim of the celestial armies wished to install an eschatologyof disorder and evil in God's creation. In fact, the „morning star of dawn” had in mindto draw „a new heaven and a new earth” where evil, dismantling and chaos weresupposed to be the governing laws. His wrong understanding of beings' personalfreedom will bring the scaffold of his self-petrification.
