Ascension or invasion

Tile early Jewish myth of the heavenly ascension of a divinely approved hero (e.g. Moses) has, as its shadow, the myth of the heavenly invasion of a rebel against the dMnity (e.g. Isaiah's Lucifer). In this paper, I demonstrate that the 'ascension myth' and the 'Lucifer myth' are positive and negative variants of the same story. I explore the possibility that this story may reflect the social world of its narrators. However, I find the ultimate source of its power in generational conflicts within individual families, perceived from opposite viewpoints, and projected into the heavens
