Description

Close up: develv.deviantart.com/art/Temp…

And the Satan took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” And Jesus answered him, “Get away, Satan! It is written:‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”
-- Luke:4

- According to the Bible, Jesus with the Lucifer calmly talked in the wilderness, as the old acquaintances.

I'm sorry, that's not how the Scriptures speak of their encounter. The Devil attempted to tempt Jesus, but He rebuked the devil each time with Scripture.

Firstly, Satan/Lucifer is the supreme cherub of male gender, he is SON of morning, and all angels are men, although they may look androgynous.
Satan is not a woman. When I drew him, I thought about the proportions of the body of the eunuchs. 

Secondly, I do not like Lilith. This allegorical female character of Jewish mythology has nothing to do with the great spirit of Lucifer (who unlike Lilith is real).

This instance from the Bible!!!!!!!! I love that you depicted Lucifer beautiful, as he used to be as an angel, instead of ugly, as popular culture suggests... and I love your Christ... amen...
Keep doing the fabulous work...

Thank you, dear!)) Em... I saw classical paintings with Jesus and Satan, but they all did not satisfy me, as they didn't fit to what I read about the character&appearance of Jesus and magnificent but proud archangel Lucifer. Jesus in these paintings looked proud and even arrogant, which does not correspond to the true character of Christ. It's Lucifer's trait to be proud.
In fact Jesus was humble, and he doesn't have external beauty, his beauty was inner. While Lucifer must be the most beautiful creature of all the creatures of God in appearance. Why do artists paint him ugly and terrible?
After all, Lucifer was the seal of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
So I decided to portray how I saw them

Lucifer = made of light

The most beautiful and wise of all angels; however, the proudest of them and the most likeable to "join the dark side"     
I'm so silly why do I make jokes out of everything?

Once more, the paradox of "inner" and "external" beauty. The son of God bears an humble appearance, no adornments or need for wealth, because HE is the wealth, the spiritual wealth, the beauty that lives inside a pure heart. He should not be depicted arrogant And Lucifer... his proud expression and utterly tempting physical beauty are the paradigm of everything in this world tht gleams and seduces you, but may hurt you if you come to relate to it. Like fire, or sun, which are beautiful to the sight, but if you touch it, you can end up really hurt, or even dead. Like fire - like Loki. Lucifer. Tempting utterly beautiful in the outside shell of light, but dark inside. So sad... he was a beautiful cherub, why did he deserted?...

I like your reasoning, they are really wise and right. I even translated your words and gave it to my friend from Russia, who is interested in the theme of Jesus and the angels

Interestingly, in Judaism Satan is not a fallen angel, he remains a servant of God, and also lives in Heaven. And for that case in Eden, he was demoted in rank. In Judaism, it is said that Satan first lived on the 7 Heaven, and he was the greatest of the angels, he had 12 wings, and then he was lowered to 5 Heaven, and God left him only 6 wings.
Satan and his angels did some other bad things, for which they were sent to Hell for a while, but not for long. After Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, Satan and his angels got out of Hell and joked about Adam, showing how to "multiply and reproduction". In this case, Satan himself transformed into a most beautiful lady, and led seductive speeches with Adam.
After that, Adam was greatly embarrassed and run from Satan and his cheeky angels. I imagined what a happy-evil laughter spread across the world...

WOW that sounds so interesting...... Judaism makes Satan similar to Loki... transforming himself into a beautiful lady, in order to seduce Adam... yes, that's something Loki would do
