Then God was wroth with me and cast me down (Satan’s rebellion was defeated)…”

The Gospel of Bartholomew 4:52-54,55 (See also The Gospel of Bartholomew 5:25)

Compare also to the Yazidi story of Tawûsê Melek [variously Melek Tawus (‘Tawus’ is a cognate of ‘Tammuz’); also known as Melek Anzazîl (the Yezidi trace their ancestry back to the angels who interbred with earth women

[See p.11 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson, 2000 A.D.]as related in Genesis 6:4, back to the very “Cainite bloodline that goes back to the fallen angels” [Ibid p.15].

The word ‘Anzazil’ is a cognate of the word ‘Azazel’).

According to Yazidi sacred writings: “Then the Great God said: "O Angels, I will create Adam and Eve”… the Lord commanded Gabriel to bring earth from the four corners of
the world, earth, air, fire, and water.

He created it and put in it the spirit of his own power, and
called it Adam.” - Al-Jilwah (The Revelation). “Melek Ṭâ’ûs (Melek Tawus, the angel Azazel) refused to worship Adam when God commanded him to do so…”

The adept magus Nigel Jackson on p.33 in The Pillars of Tubal Cain correctly identifies the Melek Taus worshipped by the Yezidi as being the Genesis Serpent of The Bible:

“In the angelic mythos of Yezidistan…the Great Angel Melek Taus (the Peacock King) is identified with Azazel…He is depicted as the Black Snake, the original serpent of wisdom in the Garden of Eden.”

According to its selection in Wikipedia: “Yazidi accounts of creation differ from that of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They believe that God first created Tawûsê Melek (at times
depicted as a black snake.

See p.7 of The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, 1933 A.D. [depicted as a black snake standing upon its tail]) from his own illumination (Ronahî) and the other six archangels were created later...

Then God created the other archangels and ordered them to bring him dust (Ax) from the Earth (Erd) and build the body of Adam. Then God gave life to Adam from his own breath and instructed all archangels to bow to Adam.

The archangels obeyed except for Tawûsê Melek (also known as the Peacock Angel). In answer to God, Tawûsê
Melek replied, "How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust."”

Of an interesting note, America sided with the pro-Azazel Kurdish Yezidi in our war against Iraq:

“The Yazidi (also Yezidi, Kurdish: ئئئئئئ or Êzidî) are members of a Kurdish religion with ancient Indo-Iranian roots. They are primarily a Kurdish-speaking people living in the Mosul region of northern Iraq…”

The Kurds were American allies under President George W. Bush in his war against Iraq.

Notable quote: “The sect of the Yezidees was founded by Sheik Adi [ben Musafir] in the fifth century. Mr. W. B. Seabrook's observations on the Yezidees, as recorded in his book, Adventures in Arabia, form a basis for the study of the beliefs of this sect.

According to his informant, the Yezidee faith is briefly this:

Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr
Miller

“God created seven spirits [angels] ‘as a man lighteth one lamp after another,’ and the first of these spirits was Satan, whom God made supreme ruler of the earth...

And because Satan was supreme master of the earth, those who dwelt on it could prosper only by doing him homage and worshipping him."

Consider also this from The Apocalypse of Sedrach:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_of_Sedrach

“Thou (God) commandest thine angels to make approach to Adam, and the first of the angels himself (Satan) transgressed thy commandment and did not make any approach to the work of thine hands…” - The Apocalypse of Sedrach V (This document dates from the 2nd – 5th Century A.D.)

The Midrash Bereshit Rabbati likewise relates:

https://sacred-texts.com/jud/mhl/mhl05.htm

“The day when he (Adam) was endowed with his knowledge, the Holy One (God), blessed be He, commanded the ministering angels: ‘Enter and bow down to him!’

The ministering angels entered to perform the will of the Holy One, blessed be He.

(However,) Satan, who was the mightiest of all the angels in heaven, said to the Holy One, blessed be He, ‘Master of the universe!

You created us from the Divine Glory, and now You say to us, ‘Bow yourselves down!’ before one (before Adam)
whom You created from the dirt of the earth??!?’”

The following excerpt concerning this event is from the Syriac Book of the Cave of Treasures (British Museum MS. Add. 25875):

https://archive.org/details/stephrembookofthecaveoftreasure

“And when the prince (this prince is Satan) of the lower order of angels saw what great majesty had been given unto Adam, he was jealous of him from that day, and he did not wish to worship him.

And he (Satan) said unto his hosts (to the angels under his command), “Ye shall not worship him (Adam), and ye shall not praise him with the angels.

It is meet that ye should worship me, because I am fire and spirit; and not that I should worship a thing of dust, which hath been fashioned of fine dust.”

And the Rebel (Satan) meditating these things would not render obedience to God, and of his own free will he asserted his independence and separated himself from God. But he was swept away (by God) out of heaven and fell…”

The Book of the Cave of Treasures - The First Thousand Years [The Revolt of Satan, and the Battle in Heaven] Fol. 5b, col. 1,2 (circa 4th-6th Century A.D.)

It must also be noted that the Clementine manuscript known as The Book of the Rolls relates that after God placed Adam at his creation in possession of all God’s Creation, creations which included the angels themselves: “

https://rejectedscriptures.weebly.com/the-book-of-rolls.html

…the Devil (Satan) saw the gift that was given to Adam from the Lord (God)” and “he (Satan) envied him (Adam) from that day.”

Also, we find written in The Wisdom of Solomon:

https://thehiddenoness.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/6/2/13629137/the_book_of_wisdom_of_solomon.pdf

“God did not make death…through the devil’s envy (of Adam) death came into the world” (See The Wisdom of Solomon 1:13, 2:24).

And it was for this reason, because of his envy (definition: to desire something possessed by somebody else), that Satan as we shall see, with the help of the angel Azazel, seduced the woman Eve. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.

A Coptic magic text from Egypt offers the following tiny tidbit concerning Satan’s rebellion against God:

“I, Michael, with all those (angels) who follow me, offered adoration to Atoran (Adam), who is the work of his (of God’s) hands. When we offered adoration to Aromachrim, who is Adam, Santanael (Satan) was disobedient to you (Satan refused to worship Adam).

You (God) deprived the first formed one (the first created of the angels, Satan) of your holy glory, you deprived the son of perdition (Satan) of your holy glory. You overturned his foundations.” Heidelberg Kopt. 686

The Kebra Nagast Chapter 100 tells us at the time of Adam’s creation the rebellious angels “reviled and made a laughingstock of Adam.” It must be remembered Adam was the image of God. By doing so to Adam, they were doing so also to God.

https://sacred-texts.com/chr/kn/ 

The angels under Satan’s military command likewise rejected Adam as a being superior to themselves, and like Satan they also refused to worship Adam, they thereby being in active rebellion against God through their refusal to obey God’s military commands:

“And when I (Satan) was cast down, he (Michael) also asked the six hundred that were under me (the 600 angels under Satan’s command), if they would worship (Adam): but they said:

Like as we have seen the first angel (Satan) do, neither will we worship him that is less than ourselves.

Then were the six hundred (this group of rebel angels are known as the Igigi; the word ‘igigi’ means ‘six hundred’) cast down by him (by God) with me…we were cast (out of the Majestic Glory) down upon the earth (our saga speaks of two earths. This earth is the New Earth).”

The Gospel of Bartholomew 4:56,57
