There was a time in history, a time in Heaven when if you had been there, you would have witnessed the angel Gabriel pacing. Gabriel was very concerned. He was concerned about several things, particularly two. First, he was concerned about Jesus. Something serious was going on between Jesus and the Father, as Jesus had been in to see the Father two times behind shut doors, and now Jesus again for the third time was secretly with Him. This time Jesus had been with the Father for quite a while. The second thing was, Gabriel knew Jesus and the Father were deciding the fate of the garden pair.
See, heaven just a short while earlier had received the news that Eve had been enticed by Lucifer into eating of the forbidden tree. She in turn had plucked some of the forbidden fruit and offered it to Adam. Adam out of love for his wife had also eaten. Gabriel had fresh in his memory what Heaven had gone through when Lucifer fell from his position. Fresh in his memory was the pain of seeing and hearing false accusations against Jesus. Fresh in his memory was the pain of seeing his beloved fellow angels take the side of Lucifer, he had in vain pleaded with some of his closest angels to go to the Father and Jesus and plead forgiveness. And fresh in his memory was the war. Gabriel and his angels had had to brand a sword and physically remove some of his beloved friends from the glories of heaven and communion with the Father and His Son. Now Lucifer had caused the fall of man, the latest and special creation, the creation of a race that had the image of God.

Gabriel was pondering these thoughts and more I am sure, when Jesus came out from being with the Father. He shone like He had never before, and Jesus called for all that were present to come, He had something to tell them. The host of heaven gathered about Jesus and they gasped as Jesus told them the price of sin is death. They all loved the garden pair and first thought the garden pair was to be destroyed. But Jesus went on, and the hearts of the host leaped for joy when Jesus said a plan had been agreed upon that could save them. The angelic host wanted to burst out in song and praise when Jesus held up his hand, they knew there was more.
Jesus told them He was the one that would die in man's place. Again a gasp, more so than the first, disbelief that they had heard right pierced their hearts, and questions filled their imagination. One by one they offered their own lives to pay for the sins of man, but Jesus patiently explained to them how it could be only Him. He would take on humanity, live a perfect life, redeem the world and ratify man by his death and blood, and the Father would in three days raise him from this death. This being the only way to fill all requirements for man’s fall, and at the same time remove all claim to earth from Lucifer, and in doing so, reveal to all the true nature of Lucifer now called satan.
