1 | Satan.. man or not? | Ezek 28:12 | teragram123 | 57019 | ||
Ezekiel 28:12-14 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. [13] Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:15-18 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. [18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. Ezekiel 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. These verse seem to describe an earthly King... ruled by a spirit being... king of Tyre - Ithobalus II; cp - Ezekiel 28:2 Most of the verses describe a being that seems clearly to be supernatural... one would have to stretch the imagination to say they describe a mere mortal. This is more easily seen in comparison to the account in the book of Revelation in the accounts pertaining to the Anti-Christ who will rule as a mortal fully possessed by the spirit of satan. |

The Greek for all these nouns in the same in the singular as in the plural. Therefore, in that sense, it may be acceptable to consider them all singular in reference to a single being. But, if the reference was to a single being, why list so many names unless in referall to the evil within those people who hold those positions? Is it not conceivable that this is a reference to a spiritual war combatting the evil within people? Also, Powers - exousia, 4c2a) a ruler, a human magistrate Rulers - kosmokrator, 1) lord of the world, prince of this age darkness - skotos, 2a) of ignorance respecting divine things and human duties, and the accompanying ungodliness and immorality, together with their consequent misery in hell, 2b) persons in whom darkness becomes visible and holds sway I do not see the relevance of the passages from Daniel and the Psalms. I am not denying the existence of angels, which is clearly stated. James 4:7 devil - diabolos, adjective, 1) prone to slander, slanderous, accusing falsely 1a) a calumniator, false accuser, slanderer "Diabolos" is an adjective, meaning what is listed above. The context suggests that it be taken in the noun form, i.e., "... resist the slanderousness/false accusations..." -Strong's |
