1 | Satan.. man or not? | Ezek 28:12 | teragram123 | 57114 | ||
I believe you stopped reading before finishing the text... read on Ezekiel 28:13-17 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. [15] 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. these terms can not easily be applied toward a mortal man Ezekiel 28:13 ... 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. 16 ...O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. |

I was not implying that the supposed single evil is merely a man. However, this passages references to cherubs and God's mountain, etc. are most likely just figurative speech applied to the king. | ||||||

Please compare these passages... they seem so simlar and clearly to be speaking of satan/lucifer... if not than who? Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Ezekiel 28:17 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. |

Lucifer means "bringing light." It is used in reference to the king of Babylon (see Isaiah 14:3, 12). Luke 10:18 is a little tougher. First, "Satan" is a Hebrew word meaning "adversary," which is often left untranslated. Hence, Jesus is telling his disciples of the fall of any adversarial force falling away from God (i.e., Heaven). Ezekiel 28:17 is using this as a reference to the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:2) in a symbolic sense, that he used to follow God but has corrupted His Word. |

Ezekiel 28:17 is using this as a reference to the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:2) in a symbolic sense, that he used to follow God but has corrupted His Word. Are you saying he back-slid? |

Greetings Teragram123, Perhaps he was never saved or truly regenerated in the first place.. Pride and the spirit to control can utterly destroy a person, even at a person's root. Matthew 27:18 states that Pilate knew that the chief priests and the elders gave Jesus over to be crucified because they were envious of Him.. Yes, I believe that the person spoken of (or personified of) in Ezekiel 28:2-17 sang a different tune from the start, and that being a tune of his own, and not one that was totally in complementing nature with God's tune. And the seeds of rebellion were lain, and eventually the person spoken of (or personified of) in Ezekiel 28:2-17 would be eventually exposed, and his true colors, intentions and nature would be shown for what it was. Blessings to you, Makarios |
