Bible Note: Hi Ron, Let's look at Isaiah 14 with a view toward capitalization. You have written about the "King" of Babylon. This king should be differentiated from the King of kings. This "Satan" of which we speak is not Deity and the king of Babylon says in Isaiah 14:14, "'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High/'" Notice the "myself". We should be able to differentiate between this entity and the Man, Jesus Christ. It is because of this verse that I go with the NKJ for John 10:33. John 10:33, "The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a *Man, make Yourself/ out to be God." Hebrews 5:8, "Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, being designated by God as a *High Priest/ according to the order of Melchizedek." This High Priest is the Most High and the Man, Jesus Christ. From the heart, Ray |
