Subject: Did this occur before Gen 1:1 or after? |
Bible Note: If He is speaking of the king of Babylon, why read something else into it? Why not just take it for what it says unless there is another passage in the Bible that applies this passage to what you are applying it to? If an inspired writer applied this passage to something else, I would accept that. But I don't know of any inspired writer of either the Old Testament or the New Testament that applies this passage to anything else other than the king of Babylon. The use of similar language by someone else (Jesus - Luke 18) does not mean that He quoted from this passage and applied it to Satan. |
