Bible Question: Where is the mountain of God, and was it in the garden of Eden |
Bible Answer: fwiask... The location of neither the mountain of God nor the garden of Eden is specified in these verses from Ezekiel. Many Bible students see in Ezekiel 28:11-19 a description of Satan and of his fall from heaven. At all events, whatever the interpretation, Ezekiel's language points to his great use of the literary device known as hyperbole. Though never simple and not always easy to read, the book of Ezekiel is enormously rich and rewarding, and its theme unsurpassed. Said Charles Lee Feinburg of the Book of Ezekiel: "From the first to the last chapter of Ezekiel one supreme thought runs throughout, that of the sovereignity and glory of the Lord God. He is sovereign in Israel and in the affairs of the nations of the world, though the loud and boisterous claims of men seem to have drowned out this truth. In His sovereign will God has purposed that we should glorify Him in life and witness to the ends of the earth." --Hank |
