Bible Question: Where do you get Satan out of the king of Tyre? |
Bible Answer: The language "you were in Eden, the annointed cherub, blameless in all your ways" speak of an angelic being. This is another example of a dual fulfillment. Not only is this speaking of the king of Tyre, but also and more fully it speaks of a fallen being, one of high stature before the fall. I really don't know how to explain it, other than that the language is to explicit to be speaking of mere man. A parallel passage is Isaiah 14 where the king of Babylon is called "Lucifer, son of the morning" (KJV). Comparing these and the extreme language I come to the conclusion that God is talking about more than just man. |
