John Milton, Paradise Lost Books 2 and 3

Book 2 begins with a 'war room' council in Hell, in which the fallen angels discuss how best to succeed in their hostility towards God. Rather than a direct assault, they decide that Satan should go and seek to pervert God's new creation, mankind. He ascends to the gates of Hell, and there encounters the offspring of Satan's depravity, the horrific figures of Sin and her son Death. Satan persuades the other two in what is a sort of infernal Trinity of the mutual benefit to allowing his passage, and they pave a broad highway for future travellers, which the success of his endeavour will insure. Book 3 begins with the blind Milton invoking the light to describe a vision beyond the ken of mortal flesh, corrupted by sin. He is in Heaven, outside space and time, and yet he narrates a council of God wherein God the Father beholds Satan's exit from Hell in time, and predicts his success in perverting mankind, to the latter's just condemnation. He nonetheless pronounces his intent to be gracious to Adam and Eve. Unlike with the infernal Trinity, there is no need of persuasion to get the Son's wholehearted approval. Yet the injustice of sin must be expiated, and no untainted representative of Adam's race exists to do so. God the Son intercedes, and offers himself as man to serve as mankind's substitute, offering his life and his blamelessness to suffer their death and blame. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member:    / drscottmasson   To support my channel and assist me in providing better content, please go here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=...
