Subject: The Real stature of Satan |
Bible Note: I cannot agree with the interpretation that this verse is refering to Jesus Christ. In this case it is clear that the followings verses in this chapter should be taken along with verse 12 because there is no break indicating that the focus of the verse has changed from the "Star of the morning". So verses 13-17 should be considered when trying to pinpoint who the "Star of the morning" is refering to in this case. And all of this is showing a negative view of the person being discussed. Was the Messiah ever discussed in the scriptures in anything other than a positve light? Is 14:13 "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. Is 14:14 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;I will make myself like the Most High.' Is 14:15 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol,To the recesses of the pit. Is 14:16 "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Is 14:17 Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?' Although up until now I have always considered these scriptures to be refering to Satan but after viewing the discussion in another thread about this verse, I may have to revised my opinion. I will, when I get more time, have to look deeper into this matter. Blessings to you |
