Bible Note: Greetings Terrib! You just proved my point my friend - one cannot be dogmatic about this passage! ;-) You wrote to Kalos: "Come on Kalos, you know that is talking in a similtude." We don't know any such thing. Some view it as refering to just the king of Tyre. Some view it as a reference to Adam. Some view it as a reference to the pagan god of Tyre. Others, view it as a reference to Satan. So, how can anyone know with certainty? :-) However, I do think that the Bible Knowledge Commentary makes some good points that need to be addressed if one is going to claim that Ez. 28 is a reference to a human king. I also note that Matthew Henry's comments don't always line up with what the text actually says. For instance, he claims that the king of Tyre 'looked like an angel'. Where does the text say that he looked like an angel? It says he was an angel. :-) Just some food for thought! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
