Hello people in today’s revision we need to look over Black Label Vertigo characters.
Specifically; Yahweh, Lucifer, and Michael. I will go over Lucifer as Michael another time.
The Presence/Yahweh
Lucifer Morningstar
Michael Demiurgos
Yahweh:
To start it off let’s talk about Yahweh.
To first start, Yahweh is Infinite and Eternal.
Infinite and EternalTrue, I’m Infinite and Eternal.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #75)
This is the notion when everything in Creation is shaped by his Will. All variables of laws, psychics, logic, and understanding was shaped by him. All things exist simply because he let it happen.
Any decision I make will be ab aeterno—from the beginning of Time.
Nothing will die because nothing will have ever been.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #68)
After all, I’ve defined my own will every variable—every physical law, everything happens because I make it happen.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #69)
This has been since the beginning of Time when Yahweh played this through many times. Everything in Creation including his sons has been predestined and map out.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #39)
Each part of reality even down to the smallest variable was designed by him and each level of reality was shaped by his Will. Every little ounce of detail no matter how small or big was made by his Will.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #40)
We get the idea Yahweh is just a name but of an aspect that is bigger relating back to the idea of “The Creator” who's is paradoxical that his body and mind is the Void.
As referring to himself as Infinite and Eternal, when earlier in the same issue, The Void was described as such:
VoidBut since the Void is Infinite and Eternal--The portion of it can be filled amounts, in the end, to zero.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #75)
This is emphasized with the story of the Monkey and Buddha as a response to the idea you cannot be your own maker. No matter where Lucifer goes Yahweh will be there because he had always existed, this time without shape and not of the name “Yahweh” sometimes Lucifer even doesn’t know of his Father’s true nature.
Buddha and the Monkey King
(Lucifer Vol.1 #75)
This also is evident because even if Lucifer escapes he can never truly be free as he desires. Yahweh is the one holding the keys only if he allows Lucifer to go free is when Lucifer can be finally free.
Aye, well. There’s the rub. His influence extends through everything. There’s nowhere I can go where I won’t meet him.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #50)
Yahweh can unmake his sons at Will. Michael being his Power in form and Lucifer his Will incarnate and despite being his Power and Will he still is their power source. So even Lucifer and Michael are still iniftiely inferior 1-A to another 1-A wouldn’t make sense on the scale here.
MakerI am your maker. I can u make you just as easily.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #75)
Since all beings in the Universe, even Michael and Lucifer are just his image he plays out. They are just what Yahweh wants not need.
So my father has abandoned us to our far. And by doing so, has doomed us. Still, we are what he made us, Uriel. His own most perfect echoes. His own most persistent afterimages.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #51)
The only difference between Lucifer and Michael compared to the others are they are so much more powerful than even the entire Heavenly Host.
Even Uriel doesn’t seem concerned for Michael as he is the Demiurge but more so for the sake of all Creation.Michael, please. Think of what you’re doing. The entire Host will rally to this place. You will condemn them to Death, because while they are alive they will defend the Throne and The Presence
I have no wish to kill any of you, Uriel. But I inend to speak with my father. We will both us do what we must
(Lucifer Vol.1 #40)
Do you really need to pursue these formalities to the point where I kill you? Isn’t there one of you know how to think?
(Lucifer Vol.1 #43)
Yet this is ever the case because Yahweh favors and only cares for his two sons above everything else.
YahwehIt is as if he is obsessed. As if he cannot even see the rest of what he has made. Nothing is real except for Lucifer and Michael.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #31)
In the end, he doesn’t need the two to accomplish what he seeks. As he has already played these scheme thousand of times over.
Lucifer and MichaelFirst of all, my sons, you should know this. That I did not need you.
The first flower of light could have been born without a seed. I had played it through a thousand times. I knew its growth and decay to a nicety.
And there was no need for a weaver to spin the light into suns. It was pregnant already with the form. Which it would become.
But I had to teach you your skills. And there was no other school.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #39)
Even anything Lucifer makes is still Yahweh's extension because his the maker and the source of power used is his father.
He's your Creator, brother. The rules are his, not yours and by the same token, what you make is also his. I’m sorry.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #20)
When Yahweh left Creation his departure was felt through everything even in the cosmic scheme of things. As he is order and balance which alike is impossible without him. He is the God of Creation for a reason.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #41)
It is his name written in all the atoms of Creation and each level was slowly dissoluting. Creation of Yahweh cannot exist without his light and name.
No. But the letters of my father’s name are all that hold the gate open. Now he’s gone. And yesterday the letters began to fade.
To—fade?
With the results you see. I doubt the gate will last more than a few days. A week at most.
So your realm will be separated from True Creation. Is this your crisis?
I don’t have a crisis. I’m telling you this as a simple courtesy. Yahweh's name is written in every atom of his Creation. It’s the glue that holds reality together and when it’s gone—you will be too. Along with everything that lives here.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #49)
As we know everything will degrade at every level. Even the tiniest of details such as sweet, sour, creativity, emotion,etc... To the abstract concept like space, time, logic, soul, divine, etc...
It is Yahweh's name written in all of us. With Yahweh gone, it fades. And we fade too, by inexorable logic.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #56)
So much so that even Lucifer's powers were bleeding away. Yahweh Light is the nourishment all things need.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #65)
Lucifer may be his light bringer but only because he did when God told it to shine.
—-And Samael—my sweet, savage Samael, who brings the light where I have told it to shine—
Samael
(Lucifer Vol.1 #39)
When facing those who control his Light as Geyes and Games usurped his image and took his place. Lucifer can longer do them no harm because the power he has was his father this when facing him becomes useless.
We have stepped into your father’s space, Morningstar. And your father is the light you shine by. You have no power against us.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #42)
Since Yahweh is the ultimate authority in Creation. Lucifer even listens to him during the first Big Bang.
None of this was of my choosing.
No? That’s not the way I see it.
You and Michael were his first big idea. You came pretty much undiluted.
“Here,” he says. I want a Universe. Run one up for me.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #26)
This happened long ago when he empower 1-A beings who also deserve to be High 1-A. When in the beginning split his power into two, the Demiurgic Power of Creation and The Lightbringer Will of God.
Creation of Lucifer and MichaelWhen God made the world, the first thing he created was the Host of Heaven. Beginning with your father, Michael—-and Lucifer
For everything else that was made, they were his intermediaries.
Michael’s Demiurgic Power gave birth to the first matter and Lucifer’s Will shaped it into suns.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #26)
The scale of this two character are so large, that when Lucifer killed Michael, it created the Cosmos from nothing which is something only God and the Demiurge could do. Make a cosmos where it’s light never touches end.
Demiurgic PowerMichael’s death and rebirth released that power, in an explosion so vast its like had only been seen once before.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #21)
These beings can casually toy with primal and platonic concepts because they impose the rules and logic that make those concept work.
Divine WillTime and Space are extensions of the Mind. The Will. Which means that infinity is a purely local phenomenon
(Lucifer Vol.1 #20)
Michael literally Infinite Power.
MichaelMichael Demiurgos--Spark that expands forever--Ocean of power with no sore
(Lucifer Vol.1 #39)
Able to renew all of existence level to level since the beginning of Time. Something only God could do and only Michael could because God choose him as his Demiurge and his second.
Creation featExamine your own substance. Or that of anything you see—stars, stones, water, air—Look close enough and you will see Michael’s Will working there.
That us impossible! What you suggest, only God can do
He is the Demiurge. God chose him as his second.
Now, as God’s mark fades and Creation falters, Michael renews it moment by moment.
He writes God’s name afresh on every atom of existence. Incredible by this sacrifice, he --
Call it what you will, Uriel.
The Wolf is at the door and it’s not going to work.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #53)
With the vessel as Divine Power when not with creative possibilities of creating Infinite Structure it can destroy Infinite Structure.
Power of GodGod has vested in you The Demiurgic Power. The word of fire that builds and breaks. You could have ended the war right then, ended all of us with a gesture.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #11)
There is a power within me. The Dunamis Demiurgos. God’s Power. When I die, it will pour out of me and overwhelm everything that exists.
Dunamis Demiurgos
(Lucifer Vol.1 #54)
DestructionReflect a moment, Michael is a vessel for the Divine Power. If he dies—if that vessel cracks—the worlds will be scoured clean of life. There will be nothing left.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #13)
When becoming Yahweh, you are death less because the nature of God is eternal.
Take heart, brother, now that we are God — Death can have no — hold over us.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #43)
Not to mention in Creation sent and gave Dream the power to oversee all that does not exist.
DreamAre you, then, the Lord of Sleep, the Prince of Stories, he to whom Allah has given dominion over that which is not, and shall never be?
(Sandman Vol.2 #50)
Also, a being that Creation is needed for. Even the Endless are side effects of Yahweh's experminting with the idea of Predestination and Creation making. This is highlighted when Lucifer admits they only exist because Yahweh wanted to test things out.
It’s really nothing personal. I find you offensive as a concept.
Even though I know you’re really just a side effect.
Indeed? Of what?
Of my father. Or rather, his deterministic approach to the act of Creation
(Lucifer Vol.1 #52)
(Lucifer Vol.1 #68)Yahweh's power is that of Creation itself. To learn such power Elaine had to know this through the form of art. This form of art was called the “Yahweh Dance” to help with the rope of Creation something he taught Michael and Lucifer long ago.
With Godhood, you are expressed as everything and everyone.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #69)
wrote an even better explanation of the relationship between Yahweh and his other forms.
Yahweh Powers
In all matter, Yahweh's only difference from his other forms are is just shaped by human perception and it doesn't degrade his powers
Do remember the Presence is how his seen.
(Lucifer Vol.1 #27)
Yahweh - High 1-A
Lucifer - High 1-A, I will go over in another thread soon
Michael - High 1-A, I will go over in another thread soon
Endless(Older 3) - 1-A possibly High 1-A, This one will be long if I need to
Mother Night and Father Time - 1-A likey High 1-A, Scales above Endless
Glory of the First Circle - 1-A possibly High 1-A, Scales relative or above Endless
Jin En Mok - 1-A possibly High 1-A, Scales relative to the Endless
Gabriel Hornblower - 1-A likely High 1-A, Scales to his brothers
Basanos - 1-A possibly High 1-A, unsure about this one.
Yahweh in powers is equal to
Doctor Fate Vol.2 - The Smile beyond Mahaparalya
Spectre Vol.4 - Divine Presence, Void beyond all Voids
Justice League Dark Vol.1 - The Creator, The dreamer of all things.
Final Crisis Vol.1 - The Monitor-Mind Overvoid, the Canvas in which stories are played out.
Death Metal Vol.1 - The Source of All things, a bit controversial but nonetheless the Source for everything.
FYI I had to delete most of the scenes because I can’t post more than 20 pictures. So if it looks out of context please don’t blame me
