Satan’s brethren who also rebelled against God shared similar fates. To the Devil, whose many names includes Antichrist and Father of Lies, God gave “the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. Also known as Morning Star ( Luke 10:18 “And he said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.'”), God cast Satan and the angels who fought with him out of Heaven. That includes the story from Revelation 12, when the angel Lucifer waged war against God and lost. The book of Revelation, from which Midnight Mass‘ final episode takes its name, foretells not just about the Apocalypse and Final Judgement, but about the events that ultimately will lead to it. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world-he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

Darkness and the Angels Cast Out of Heaven For the Bible and God he committed his life had already warned him about what this creature really was. When the sunlight lifted the darkness from his eyes, Monsignor Pruitt should have seen his “angel” for what it really was. A truth he should have recognized the moment he woke up with his faculties fully restored. Yet each of them wrong and twisted, a distorted version of God’s messengers Pruitt had read about in his holy book. The beast Pruitt met inside that lost church buried in the sand was like an angel in many ways. As his old body became young again, as it once was during the peak of his life. The elderly priest’s blessing was not one of the spirit like Jacob’s. It was then the creature fed his blood to Pruitt. It was only when the Monsignor called out “angel” that the creature stopped. He “saw God face to face.” Yet still walked away with his life. This encounter, though physically painful, is a spiritual boon to Jacob. A battle that ends with Jacob earning the blessing. The injury serves as a lifelong reminder to Jacob of the battle. The angel then displaces Jacob’s hip during the fight. (Though other interpretations say he wrestled not with an angel but with God.) Jacob will not let the angel go during their struggle, not until it blesses him. Another famous Bible passage comes from Genesis 32, when Jacob wrestles with an angel. The angel said, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” (A passage made famous by Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas.)Īngels are not above physically interacting with mankind though. ![]() Like the angel-bathed in light as all messengers of the Lord are in the Bible-who spoke to the shepherds in the field about the coming of Christ in Luke 2:10. ( Often with good reason.) It’s why each winged-messenger of God assures frightened people not to fear them. Pruitt’s “Angel”Īs Father Paul said, angels terrify everyone they meet in the Bible. Example: Genesis 1:1 is the first book, passage, and verse of the Hebrew Bible, which Catholics like Monsignor Pruitt call the Old Testament.)
