the palace floor glitters like water

During one of my qabalistic pathworkings several years ago, I found myself in the Devil's labyrinth. The maze was arranged inside the walls of a cube. Each person in the maze was lost in his or her own individual trip. Looking up I could see the devil on a throne watching over all. After I ascended to his throne, he allowed me to sit.
From this perspective, I could see that the devil sat on a throne facing the way out of the maze.
Perhaps this was so that he could watch for people who might be getting close to the exit. Or maybe he was the devil simply virtue of the fact that he knew the way out but does not divulge this.
But isn't it interesting that both Christ and Lucifer are compared to the morning star in scripture? Or that the Hebrew words for Messiah and serpent have the same gematria?
