1 | What's does the seven seals mean? | Bible general Archive 2 | STUDENT7300 | 117854 | ||
In my humble opinion, the 7 seals represent the first wave of God's judgment of the earth after the Rapture. There are 2 other phases--the 7 trumpets and the 7 bowls. The Lord Jesus said in John 5:27 that the Father has committed judgment into HIs hands. That is why we read that it is the Lamb who opens the 7 seals. I hope this helps. STUDENT 7300 |

2 | Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 not Satan! | Bible general Archive 1 | STUDENT7300 | 83251 | ||
I have spoken with many lay Christians, Bible teachers, and pastors who adamantly preach that these two passages refer specifically to Satan. I personally believe that God, for His own divine reasons, has not revealed to us Satan's devolution, except for the verse I Timothy 3:6. Everything else seems to refer to after the Fall. Or in other words, it appears that the Holy Spirit is more concerned with us resisting the devil rather than studying him. STUDENT7300 |

3 | Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 not Satan! | Bible general Archive 1 | STUDENT7300 | 83407 | ||
Dear Christian, The Lockman Foundation would tend to disagree with you and with all of the Christian segment that hold the view that the Lucifer of Isaiah 14:12 is a reference to Satan. Listen to their footnote in the Amplified Bible in relation to this passage: The Hebrew for this expression--"light-bringer" or "shining one"--is translated "Lucifer" in The Latin Vulgate, and is thus translated in the King James Version. But because of the association of that name with Satan, it is not now used in this and other translations. Some students feel that the application of the name Lucifer to Satan, in spite of the long and confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. The application of the name to Satan has existed since the third century A.D., and is based on the supposition that Luke 10:18 is an explanation of Isa. 14:12, which many authorities believe is not true. "Lucifer," the light-bringer, is the Latin equivalent of the Greek word "Phosphoros," which is used as a title of Christ in II Pet. 1:19 and corresponds to the name "radiant and brilliant Morning Star" in Rev. 22:16, a name Jesus called Himself. This passage here in Isa. 14:13 clearly applies to the king of Babylon. And all I am saying is that I am in complete agreement with this statement. Blessings. STUDENT7300 |

4 | Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 not Satan! | Bible general Archive 1 | STUDENT7300 | 83457 | ||
Dear Radioman2, I whole-heartedly agree that God many times can speak to Satan through another. But in the two references you cited, Gen. 3:15 and Matt. 16:23, other passages clue us in that this is exactly what the Lord was doing (See Rev. 12:9 and your verse Matt. 16:23). Not so in Isaiah 14 or Ezekiel 28. So without this validation we can only assume that the Lord is literally referring to these two kings. I don't believe there is a way of connecting these two passages, Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, to Satan apart from citing the traditional viewpoint that so many hold. Based on each passage taken by itself, that particular viewpoint falls flat. STUDENT7300 |

5 | 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 |

7 | A 2nd Human Error? | 2 Kin 8:26 | STUDENT7300 | 117777 | ||
And while I am asking, there is another apparent discrepancy in 2 Samuel 8:4 and I Chronicles 18:4. Did David capture 700 horsemen or 7,000 horsemen? Any ideas on this? Blessings! STUDENT 7300 |
