"What bible proof text can be used other than that of Job 1:-- to support the belive that God made the good angle before he became the "Devil Adversary"?" Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 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. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Praise the Lord! Norm |

King of Tyre. As we struggle to read the Bible in an accurate way, so many questions are raised. We are told to read them in the sense they were written (which can involve some serious historical research) --- yet also to allow the Spirit to bring about new interpretations in the life of the believer. Anyway, the use of Ezekiel above is troubling. The context is a series of denunciations of foreign nations --- nations that surrounded Israel at the time of Ezekiel. I see a prophetic denunciation of a human king, who has risen to great power and then been corrupted by that wealth. The references to Eden, and the mountain, are metaphors describing his blessed state --- including this pagan ruler within the narrative of Israel. His iniquity, however, is leading to his downfall. The problem with "proof texting" is that it ignores the larger context of the passage. Of course, the beginning of that chapter sees the King of Tyre making god-claims for himself. So, while this may not describe Satan, it does basically tell the same story. We can all be like Satan, when we turn from God's grace and revel in our own ambition. Another interesting passage --- it talks about "Lucifer" but in the context of Babylon --- is Isaiah 14:12-21. Any thoughts about the historical / allegorical readings of these passages would be welcome. JRM. |
