And so Lucifer is obsessed with the idea that if one of the Imbued (the "Bright Shiners") makes the fully informed and willful decision to commit to his cause, to be a vessel for Lucifer himself, he will be the most powerful human to ever live, the Antichrist

But, of course, the OG Christ was apparently put on Earth to cut off this possibility Lucifer's bitterness and rage that Christianity (along with the other major religions) was put on Earth by mysterious forces beyond his control to stymie and frustrate him Propaganda

He puts the Hunter signature character through his Last Temptation and rages out at him because they both fully know the tropes that they're playing into and Lucifer is losing his mind that the guy refuses to just change his framing

No I meant like, is it in whatever sense that phrase originally meant (which I have heard in zero other contexts)? Or is it in the sense of "I'm behind you all the way" meaning "I'm in your corner"? Maybe I'm just confused because I don't understand the old sense of the word.

In context it means "go away", like "Let me keep walking and leave you behind" It's a pretty shocking moment in the Gospels -- Jesus is telling the apostles his prophecy that his fate is to die and be martyred and Peter gets upset and says he doesn't have to let that happen
