53:4.1 The ''Lucifer manifesto'' was issued at the annual [[conclave]] of [[Satania]] on the [[sea of glass]], in the [[presence]] of the assembled [[hosts]] of [[Jerusem]], on the last day of the year, about [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:2._THE_OUTBREAK_OF_REBELLION two hundred thousand years] ago, [[Urantia]] time. [[Satan]] proclaimed that [[worship]] could be accorded the [[universal]] [[forces]]—[[physical]], [[intellectual]], and [[spiritual]]—but that [[allegiance]] could be acknowledged only to the [[actual]] and present ruler, [[Lucifer]], the "friend of men and angels" and the "God of liberty."

53:4.2 [[Self-assertion]] was the battle cry of the ''Lucifer rebellion''. One of his chief [[arguments]] was that, if [[self-government]] was [[good]] and right for the [[Melchizedeks]] and other [[groups]], it was [[equally]] [[good]] for all [[orders]] of [[intelligence]]. He was [[bold]] and [[persistent]] in the [[advocacy]] of the "[[equality]] of [[mind]]" and "the brotherhood of [[intelligence]]." He [[maintained]] that all [[government]] should be [[limited]] to the local [[planets]] and their [[voluntary]] confederation into the [[local systems]]. All other [[supervision]] he disallowed. He promised the [[Planetary Princes]] that they should rule the worlds as supreme [[executives]]. He denounced the location of [[legislative]] [[activities]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:1._THE_CONSTELLATION_HEADQUARTERS constellation headquarters] and the [[conduct]] of [[judicial]] affairs on the [[universe]] [[capital]]. He contended that all these [[functions]] of [[government]] should be [[concentrated]] on the [[system capitals]] and proceeded to set up his own [[legislative]] assembly and [[organized]] his own [[tribunals]] under the [[jurisdiction]] of [[Satan]]. And he directed that the [[Planetary Prince|princes]] on the [[apostate]] worlds do the same.

53:4.3 The entire [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45#45:3._THE_SYSTEM_GOVERNMENT administrative cabinet] of [[Lucifer]] went over in a [[body]] and were sworn in [[publicly]] as the officers of the [[administration]] of the new head of "the liberated worlds and systems."

53:4.4 While there had been two previous [[rebellions]] in [[Nebadon]], they were in distant [[constellations]]. [[Lucifer]] held that these insurrections were unsuccessful because the [[majority]] of the [[intelligences]] failed to follow their [[leaders]]. He contended that "[[majorities]] rule," that "[[mind]] is [[infallible]]." The [[freedom]] allowed him by the [[Supreme Creators|universe rulers]] apparently [[sustained]] many of his [[nefarious]] contentions. He defied all his superiors; yet they [[apparently]] took no note of his [[doings]]. He was given a [[free]] hand to prosecute his [[seductive]] [[plan]] without let or hindrance.

53:4.7 [[Lucifer]] was permitted fully to [[establish]] and thoroughly to [[organize]] his [[rebel]] [[government]] before [[Gabriel]] made any [[effort]] to contest the [[right]] of [[secession]] or to counterwork the [[rebel]] [[propaganda]]. But the [[Constellation Fathers]] [[immediately]] confined the [[action]] of these disloyal [[personalities]] to [[the system]] of [[Satania]]. Nevertheless, this period of delay was a [[time]] of great [[trial]] and testing to the [[loyal]] [[beings]] of all [[Satania]]. All was [[chaotic]] for a few years, and there was great [[confusion]] on the [[mansion worlds]].
