12 How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you, and ponder over you: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?
The Barkers' Play: The Fall of the Angels is a dramatization of the bible telling the story of the fall of Lucifer or Satan or the devil. Though it is definitely a lose interpretation of the bibles story, the Fall of the Angels quotes the bible in its script: Isaiah 14:12; Revelation 12:7-9; and Luke 10:18. These verses allowed the Church fathers to examine and explain the existence of evil.
Lucifer’s fall is the result of inner pride, which instantly causes him and his angels to be dropped out of heaven without truly being driven out of heaven. The show is typically staged with heaven and God’s throne above and earth and hell below.
Isaiah 14:12-17
