THE FALLEN ANGELS

Success and Morality: (in) fallibility, impunity, sins and punishment presents an Almalech's analysis on Bible highest personages that are capable to correct their moral transgressions, especially when they are in power, because sins of the powerful are paid by all. (1 Chronicles, 21; 2 Samuel, 24). Modern and ancient criteria of success are very different. Moses and King David are men of mower. They were successful individuals, whether they perceive as mythological characters, or characters of prototypes ever lived. In ancient times and today, success and morality are differnt things and actually clash between the two produces many fables and stories. Life of David and Moses offers examples of faults, but also how they reckon with them. In 1 Chronicles 21 David is dealing with Satan who stood up against Israel, and incited David to wage census in Israel. David proceeded in violation manner over one of the commandments. As a punishment of David's deeds God sent a plague upon Israel and an angel to destroy Jerusalem. David took responsibility and propitiates God, but pays a very high price. Very indicative of the main characters in the Bible is that they are very capable people but also with failures. However, they have the ability to make genuine and timely assessment and self-assessment. This attitude is valid on the relation 'power - morality'.
