1 | Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 not Satan! | Bible general Archive 1 | Truthfinder | 83414 | ||
Well said again, Student7300, but allow me to elaborate a bit. Human sin and imperfection were, of course, preceded by sin and imperfection in the spirit realm, as Jesus' words at John 8:44 and the account in chapter 3 of Genesis reveal. The dirge recorded at Ezekiel 28:12-19, though directed to the human "king of Tyre," evidently parallels the course taken by the spirit son of God who first sinned. The pride of "the king of Tyre," his making himself 'a god,' his being called a "cherub," and the reference to "Eden, the garden of God," certainly correspond to Biblical information concerning Satan the Devil, who became puffed up with pride, is linked to the serpent in Eden, and is called "the god of this system of things." see 1Ti 3:6; Ge 3:1-5, 14, 15; Re 12:9; 2Co 4:4.

2 | Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 not Satan! | Bible general Archive 1 | STUDENT7300 | 83460 | ||
Dear Truthfinder, You make a valid point that sin had to originate in the spirit realm with Satan before the Fall. And there are many similarities between Gen. 3 and the language the Holy Spirit uses in Ezekiel 28. However, it is a "stretch" to unquestionably say that the king of Trye is Satan. Again, look at the whole context of Ezekiel chapters 25-32. God uses outlandish figures of speech in judging all of these nations. Not to mention how each of these prophecies were fulfilled. Check out Wenner's book, The Bible as History. And he details how in secular history each and every prophecy was literally fulfilled. Blessings! STUDENT7300 |
