Bible Question: Is this scripture not relating to the punshiment of the King of Tyrus instead the devil being in charge of praise and worship? |
Bible Answer: Good question. The reason that this passage has been historically viewed as referring to Satan (perhaps acting behind the scenes in the actions of the king of Tyre) is that the Ezekiel 28 passage uses description that could not be describing the king. The being referred to was in Eden in the beginning (verse 13) and is referred to as a cherub (not a man) who was created blameless until unrighteousness was found in him. There is a rebellion referred to and a casting down from God's holy mountain. We often see in prophecy that while an indictment starts out against a particular individual or a particular prediction is made, there are often more than one level to the prophecy. Here most hold that the prophecy starts with an indictment against Tyre, but moves to a judgment of Satan. --Joe! |
