Interesting. For the reference on "pleroma" the gnostic concept is quite profound:
Gnostic texts envision the pleroma as aspects of God, the eternal Divine Principle, who can only be partially understood through the pleroma. Each "aeon" (i.e. aspect of God) is given a name (sometimes several) and a female counterpart (Gnostic viewed divinity and completeness in terms of male/female unification). The Gnostic myth goes on to tell how the aeon wisdom's female counterpart Sophia separated from the Pleroma to form the demiurge, thus giving birth to the material world.
It suggests that the separation of the female what what gave birth to the material world. The "holy trinity" in the Bible does exist as noted by the trinity of the two covering cherubs and the Ark of the Covenant. The ark represented Holy Mount Zion and thus the aspect of the Father, the two angels were the archangel Michael and his "wife" (now former wife), none other than Satan. There is some Biblical basis that once Satan became corrupt in heaven the material world, mankind specifically was created. Why? Because in heaven there are basically just concepts. There were no corporal sins with the penalty of death. What kind of SIN could an angel commit? Still there was "corruption" in thought, discontentment with God, etc. So basically mankind got created where SIN was possible. Ideas could be acted out, laws established and when the Law is broken, Sin punishible by death. So in that sense, when the woman, Satan, broke away, it did result in the creation of the material world, through which Satan gets condemned to death.
The gnostic world and the Mysteries tend to understand that the "Divine Feminine" ultimately is a reference to the Mother Goddess and that mother goddess is the snake-woman, Lilith, who is clearly the entity of temptation in the Garden of Eden.
Further, I think the FULLNESS of the Christ is suggested in contrast to Satan. When described Satan, the beautiful angel, was decorated with nine stones, identical to the ones found in the breastplate of the high priest, which represented Christ, who carries 12 stones. So in that sense, Jesus has the fullness of 12 and carries all the qualities of the father, whereas Satan tends to specialize in two aspects, those being the Lion and the Eagle, Justice and Wisdom. Christ balances these out with the other two, the Bull and Man, representing power and love. But, Christ is also the Eagle and the Lion.
Thus it is interesting, where one might think, especially compared to some of the pagan writings that "wisdom personified" in Proverbs is this woman, Sophia, and thus a reference to Satan, but it is a reference to the Christ as wisdom personified and also a woman.
Very interestingly, Satan, like Babylon the Great, the harlot, becomes an aspect of the Christ via the experiences in human form. That is, on a very, very, VERY generalized way, when Christ is in the flesh the first time, he reflects more of the personality of Michael, the archangel, and at the second coming more of the personality of the feminine aspects and qualities that Satan posseses, so that in the end, Christ is a combination of that range of aspects, from the perfect man of righteousness and nobility (heir to the throne of King David) to that of a prostitute, the aspect of Satan's qualities/character, when he returns the second time and takes up the body of a person who was a prostitute. But the cincher is that the prodigal son prostitute overcomes that aspect and thus understands the mind of Satan and thus can expose the flaw in it.
To make a long story short, Satan was basically granted everything in that "battle in heaven" which was a court battle. The single thing Satan was condemned on was murder. There was no excuse for murder, even if there was an excuse, however convoluted, for every other thing.
The new TRINITY, of course, will be Jehovah, Jesus and his new Bride, made up of the 1,440,000 from the earth. That is the "church" replaces Satan on Mount Zion as the wifely counterpart to Jesus. Only this second wife is tested to the death first.
