That joy is every person who chooses to be His eternal companion- His family.
Lucifer hates you so intently because you are intended to be his replacement, since he disqualified himself from his high position. Even though he was covered in jewels and was the Music Minister in Heaven, he CHOSE rebellion.
We, who have not seen and dwelt in glory unsurpassed (like Satan), yet believed and chose God's Redemption are destined to a higher place than him.
No God is not depressed.
He is the most joyful, delightful being in the universe who is awaiting the fruit of wisdom.
I call bullshit. Lucifer is hateful? Did he send plagues? Did he ever drown almost everyone? Did ask anyone to kill their children to prove their love for him? What's the worst thing Lucifer has done? Talk a girl into eating an apple?
According to the OT, before the Christians adopted Lucifer as the direct opposition to God, he was banished for not bowing to Adam.
As in, literally, the most glorious Angel wouldn't bow before what God made playing with clay during lunchtime, and gave exclusive ownership of Earth to. For this, God threw him out of Heaven for being prideful.
Prideful. Too proud to bow to something God created for the sole purpose of worshiping God.
It gets even stranger from here, as early Christians used the term "Lucifer" in a positive sense, bishops took it as a given name, and early hymnals to Christ refer to him as "The Morning Star."
