Claim. Satan is the fallen archangel Lucifer — God’s servant who seduced God’s daughter Eve, the woman intended to be both Adam’s wife and (because Adam was meant to embody God) God’s wife.

Elaboration. SMM uses the master-servant-daughter analogy to frame the offense: “The devil was actually a servant of God. Yet, this scoundrel of a servant seduced the master’s daughter. This was the Fall… She was supposed to fulfill God’s ideal by raising sons and daughters who would inherit His lineage, but the archangel, created as a servant, seduced the master’s daughter; that became the origin of the Fall” (3.1. Satan is the fallen archangel Lucifer, 85-308, 1976.3.4). The double-violation framing follows: “Eve was to be the wife of God. This is so because Adam was supposed to become one with God, so he would become God Himself. Satan violated God’s wife. Satan is God’s enemy and our enemy” (ibid, 22-207, 1969.2.4). And the prince-and-princess captivity image dramatises the cosmic consequence: “Imagine that the prince and princess who had been living in the royal palace of the kingdom were captured by the enemy general and began to live as servants and multiplied the offspring of the world of servants. Our situation is the same” (ibid, 302-222, 1999.6.14).
