Then, starting in verse 11 and on through verse 19, Lucifer is the focus of the discussion. What is the rationale for the conclusion that these latter verses refer to the fall of Lucifer? Whereas the first ten verses in this chapter speak about the ruler of Tyre who was condemned for claiming to be a god though he was just a man , the discussion moves to the king of Tyre starting in verse Some have suggested that these verses may actually be dealing with a human king of Tyre who was empowered by Satan.
Perhaps the historic king of Tyre was a tool of Satan, possibly even indwelt by him. In describing this king, Ezekiel also gives us glimpses of the superhuman creature, Satan, who was using, if not indwelling, him.
Our text tells us that this king was a created being and left the creative hand of God in a perfect state Ezekiel And he remained perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him Ezekiel b. What was this iniquity? Jude Matthew Revelation They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Romans The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Ezekiel So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Luke Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side?
You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. In which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man. And threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.
She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart.
This is what was sown along the path. Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord , and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? Lastly leviathan is the great serpent! Leviathan and Behemoth are entirely separate entities. Revelations is a future telling of the Great War between god and leviathan, pretty much exactly like Ragnarok!
Wow, those are weird comments. I'm surprised few biblical verses support the Catholic tradition of a fallen angel that wants to drag souls to eternal suffering.
I think a lot of Christianity we think we "know" is not found in scripture. Satan is barely mentioned in scripture, and the same goes for angels in general. Much of what we believe is the interpretation or downright creation of men. I personally believe the Holy Spirit and Holy Trinity were given too much importance by medieval scholars.
The Bible doesn't give much support for a Trinity. This is coming from someone who receives visions since he was an 8 year old. Satan is real, he is bad. And he does rule hell where people do go to live in eternal pain if they do not accept Jesus. God has shown this in a vision so people may know. Bill Billings. The last thing Satan and the fallen angels would want is to take residency in Hell. They all get put in Hell to burn at the end of the Bible. If Satan ruled it then it would be eternal house arrest instead of eternal torture.
Some have similarities, some contradict one another. Chris ish. If God Himself, cast Satan out and his rebellious companions. Envy, jealousy, hatred, etc
