Subject: Satan.. man or not? |
Bible Note: Lucifer means "bringing light." It is used in reference to the king of Babylon (see Isaiah 14:3, 12). Luke 10:18 is a little tougher. First, "Satan" is a Hebrew word meaning "adversary," which is often left untranslated. Hence, Jesus is telling his disciples of the fall of any adversarial force falling away from God (i.e., Heaven). Ezekiel 28:17 is using this as a reference to the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:2) in a symbolic sense, that he used to follow God but has corrupted His Word. |
