Bible Note: Dear PDAL, I think we can definitely rule out that Lucifer was a man. Isaiah 14 is poetry so it is impressionistic and less literal then prose. Verse 12 speaks of him falling from heaven and we know Adam was created on Earth and from the dust of the earth, Genesis 2:7. Also, when we read Isaiah in comparison to Ezekiel 28:12-18, and it should make it a bit easer to understand. We also know that Satan played a major part in the fall of man with his deception and tempting Eve to disobey God by eating of the fruit that God commanded them not to eat. I'm not little surprised at this confusion, I've never heard of someone (anyone) thinking that Lucifer was Adam. You could probably fill a library with books that attest to the fact that Lucifer and Satan are one and the same. I hope you don't mind my saying that It looks as though you are really digging for something that is ambiguous in Scripture. Thats quite a stretch! Scripture isn't that hard to understand, PDAL, it's not rocket science for heaven sakes. God didn't intend to confuse us or make it all that puzzling for us. I like what Dr. Harry Ironside said about Scripture, it goes something like: "Our loving Father doesn't put the cookies on the top shelf where His kiddies cant reach them" :-) You might also want to visit -http://www.gotquestions.org/Lucifer-Satan.html- The folks at gotquestions.org are very good at explaining things and do a much better job of it then I do. :-) Shalom John |
