1 | Who is that deceiving spirit? | 2 Chr 18:21 | 00123 | 237711 | ||
Hello everyone! One spirit of the host of heaven volunteers to be a "deceiving" spirit. Who is that spirit? An angel or a devil? If that is the former, does an angel lie? If the latter, does a devil serve God in the heaven with that capacity? In either way, does God lie or allow His servant to lie? Shalom! | ||||||
2 | Who is that deceiving spirit? | 2 Chr 18:21 | Morant61 | 237712 | ||
Greetings! In his commentary, Albert Barnes suggests that this entire vision is meant as a parable, not as a record of an historical event. The context of the passage suggest that he is correct. For instance, we know that God does not lie. Secondly, the angel in the account is supposed to succeed in deceiving the King, yet here Micaiah is telling the King God's whole plan and ruining the lie. Therefore, it seems more likely that the vision was meant to let the king know that his false prophets were lying to him and allow him the opportunity to listen to the truth. Unfortunately, the king still would not listen. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
