Bible Question:
Is Ezekial 28:11-17 a lament meant exclusively for an earthly king or is there also a figuritive reference to satan as some bible scholars suggest? I ask the same question regarding Isiah 14:12-15. I eagerly await answers/insights. Thank-you. |
Bible Answer: Ezekial 14:12 is believed by many to be talking directly to satan, and I believe the reasons are clear. The chapter begins by talking to the prince of Tyrus (as the KJV has it) but then in the 12th verse, the tone changes abruptly and starts addressing the king of Tyrus. it says, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God" (vs 13) And then he is called, "the anointed cherub who covers" There is no earthly king who fits this decription. And, yes, the passage in Isaiah is understood to be about the same fallen angel. blessings to you, son |
