Ezekiel 28
Book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel 28:1 The word of the LORD came again
unto me, saying,
-
Who's word is this?
-
The Lord is speaking to Ezekiel
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of
Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted
up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in
the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though
thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
-
God Himself calls Satan a man
-
So believe it: this wicked one has the appearance
of a man.
-
Prince of Tyrus: another
name of Satan
-
Tyrus in Hebrew means rock or stone
-
Isaiah 14 - Lucifer is Tyrus = rock
-
In Deuteronomy 32: Satan is
the false rock, the false Christ.
-
Christ is our Rock
-
Deuteronomy 32:31 For their rock is not as
our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges
-
Satan is always trying to imitate
and to falsify, and we see he's even called his own town in olden
days the rock
-
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the
ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast
said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
-
In the mist of the seas (people);
yet thou art a man, Revelation 17:15 seas in prophecy is usually
symbolic of people.
-
Verse 4 and 5 will tell us that it was through
the monetary system that Satan became strong.
3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there
is no secret that they can hide from thee:
-
Daniel 1:17 Daniel was exceedingly
wise himself, but Satan is even wiser than Daniel.
-
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when
he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred.
-
3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If
thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
-
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God.
5 Then
the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him
on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith
unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is
written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in
their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a stone.
4 With thy
wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee
riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
-
Today Satan uses the Four hidden political dynasties to control the World = Education, Religion, Financial and
Government
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou
increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of
thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because
thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
-
Isaiah 14:14 I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
7 Behold,
therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the
nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of
thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 They
shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths
of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
-
God has sentenced him to death in
the midst of the seas, in the midst of the people.
-
Revelation17:15 seas are the people
-
This sentence was also passed upon him in the
book of Revelation, but this is one of the references.
-
Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come
down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great
chain in his hand.
-
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
9 Wilt
thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou
shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth
thee.
-
Hebrews 2:14 Christ came to die on
the cross to destroy the devil.
-
Which is of course none other than
the devil who brought death into this world, in the first place.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised
by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord
GOD.
-
You will die as the ungodly
-
Revelation 20:1 And I saw an
angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and
shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the
king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou
sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
-
This verse refers us back to this same
individual before his fall, and God says, as it is recorded in the
Hebrew, you were the finished pattern.
-
In other words, I
made you the full pattern, full
of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
-
This happen in the first earth age,
Before Satan's fall.
-
Verse
14, he was God's cherub, he earn
his seat.
-
The king of Tyrus means rock
-
And as we learn in the
Song of Moses our Rock
is not their rock. (Deut 32)
-
Their rock, the king of Tyrus is
none other than Satan.
-
God created Satan full of wisdom
and beauty.
-
Here we have a supernatural being addressed:
-
He of whom the "prince of Tyre" was only a type;
-
He who was using that "prince" as one of his agents to secure the
world = power.
-
He is not a mere "man "as the prince of Tyre"
-
His description, is superterrestrial, and superhuman, and can refer
to no other than Satan himself.
-
Thou sealest up the sum = Thou art the finished pattern. Hebrew word
= toknith = pattern.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the
beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and
the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of
thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
created.
-
Satan has never been, and never
will be, born of woman. He was created. We are talking
about Satan.
-
I dressed
you in the ultimate the very best.
-
Before
Satan's fall, he was special to God, because of his beauty and great
wisdom.
-
He was created, not
born, he was in the
garden
of Eden.
-
He's letting
you know, this was the first world age.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
-
At one point in time, he had earned that
position,
until his pride took over
-
You were
right there with me at the throne
-
Satan was a cherub that protected the mercy
seat, God's seat
-
Exodus
25:19-20 Satan's duty was to protect the mercy seat, which is the
seat of God
-
Pride was
his down fall and instead of protecting God, he wanted to take God
Seat.
-
He wanted to be God, he is
the false rock
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee.
-
Till iniquity was found in thee -
Until he stopped loving God.
-
People often ask, why God allows the
things He does in this world?
-
God will not demand you to Love Him,
He has given everyone free will.
-
God is an all-powerful God, but He
will not demand love.
-
Love is the one thing that cannot
be bought, ordered, or even created.
-
Love must come from the heart, as a
gift in a sense or it would be worthless.
-
When Satan stopped loving God,
God would not command him to love Him.
-
God wants every creature to love
Him, but only if given voluntarily.
-
It is for this reason we have the
world in the shape it is now, or the reason that God allows Satan to
rule in his wickedness which has brought pain, suffering and death
to this world.
-
This is why we are in this world age, God needs
to know, do you love Him.
-
Pride will take you down, one third
of God's children followed Satan
16 By the
multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee
with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee
as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee,
O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
-
Satan is
the only person God sentence to die, by name.
-
In the book of Jude, these are going into the
lake of fire also
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast
thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may
behold thee.
-
His heart was lifted up, in the Hebrew
indicates with pride, and brightness could be translated splendor.
-
Now where is he going to come?
-
I will cast thee to the ground. He's coming to
the earth.
-
He will appear on this earth at the time God
intends for him to appears, in Jerusalem very soon to perform the miracles.
-
Before kings, that they may behold
thee, refers to the passages in Isaiah that we just reviewed.
-
Is this the man.
-
2 Thessalonians. 2:9 Satan comes in with All Power and Lying Wonders,
and Miracles.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the
multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick;
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it
shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth
in the sight of all them that behold thee.
-
God is saying, I am going to do
this where everyone can see it
-
Matthew 10:28 God only, can kill your
soul
-
Psalms 37 What's going to happen and
why does it seem that the wicked get ahead.
-
They will be like fat in a fire
like ashes.
-
Ashes: here in Hebrew, means final
death: no hereafter, but final death.
-
This is going to take place here on earth in the sight of everyone.
-
So far we have found him to be wise
and beautiful man, actually very splendid to look upon, Certainly not the
image that is pictured in people's minds today.
19 All they
that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee:
thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
-
For ever and ever
-
Deuteronomy
32 and Revelation 15 Song of
Moses
-
Their rock is not our Rock = Our
Rock is Christ
20 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 Son of man, set thy face against
Zidon, and prophesy against it,
22 And say, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be
glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am
the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall
be sanctified in her.
-
They will know I am the Lord
23 For I will send into her
pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be
judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side;
and they shall know that I am the LORD.
24 And there
shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor
any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that
despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the
house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered,
and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen,
then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my
servant Jacob.
-
I will gather Jacob, the reclaiming
-
Revelation 12 - 1/3 of God's
children followed
Satan
-
Heathen = nations
-
In their land, means on their soul
26 And they shall dwell safely therein,
and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall
dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all
those that despise them round about them; and they shall know
that I am the LORD their God.
-
They should build there houses
safely.
-
Isaiah 65:21 And
they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant
vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
-
No more wicked people = they are in the lake of
fire.
-
No taxes, God is with us
-
Daniel 9: 20-27
