Bible Note: Hi PDAL, It's been a while since you've graced our pages and honored us with your esteemed presence. :-) If you read in Isaiah 14:12-18 you can see it tells the story of Lucifer's fall from heaven. Compare this to, Luke 10:18, where Jesus says: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” reading on in Isaiah 14 we see that this is describing the one who's foolish pride is shown to be at work here, who is none other then Satan (the devil) and in v13-14 we see the reason for him getting the boot. “You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Comparing this to Genesis 3:5 where he, Satan, uses this same temptation on Eve that he aspired to as well, “You shall be as God" also in Ezekiel 28:12-18 v12 “take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre” and v13 says the King was “in Eden, the garden of God.” Scripture does not show the king of Tyre in the Garden of Eden, so it must be referring to Satan (the devil) in v14 we see him described as a cherub "You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire." The King of Tyre is not found anywhere else in Scripture to be in Heaven either so It is quite clear this is describing Satan, Lucifer, or as so often called, the devil. John |
