Ezekiel
12 "Son of man, raise up a lamentation on the king of Tire, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: You are the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and full of beauty. 13 I was in Eden the Garden of God. Each gemstone is your star, red agate, yellow sapphire, white agate, aquamarine, scallop, jade, sapphire, amber, emeralds and gold. They created in you the workmanship of the form of lobes, and the pillars thereof on the day they were created. 14 You are the plain, shaded cherub, and I have raised you up. On the holy mountain of God I was. Between the stones of fire I walked. 15 You are perfect in your ways from the day you were created until you found iniquity. 16 The multitude of your trade filled your heart unjustly, so I sinned. I will cast you out of the mountain of God, and I will destroy you, O cherub, shaded from among the stones of fire. At first sight we find that speech refers to a human being. In many places of the Bible, Tire is mentioned as prophecies of her religion. As in Isaiah 23: 1-18, Jeremiah 25:22, Jeremiah 27: 1-11, Amos 1: 9-10, and other places from the prophecies of judgment. Tire knew that it was an autocratic state that built its glory at the expense of neighboring countries. The ancient writers pointed out that Tire is a city of no conscience from merchants. It was a major center of idolatry, immorality and sex. Ezekiel 28: 11-19 addressed a list of strong accusations against the king of Tire and denounced the greed and greed of the king. However, we find that the descriptions mentioned above exceed the description of a person, especially numbers 11-19
11 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12 Son of man, lift up a lamentation on the king of Tire, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD:Thou art perfect, full of wisdom, and full of beauty. 13 I was in Eden the Garden of God. Each gemstone is your star, red agate, yellow sapphire, white agate, aquamarine, scallop, jade, sapphire, amber, emeralds and gold. They created in you the workmanship of the form of lobes, and the pillars thereof on the day they were created. 14 You are the plain, shaded cherub, and I have raised you up. On the holy mountain of God I was. Between the stones of fire I walked. 15 You are perfect in your ways from the day you were created until you found iniquity. 16 The multitude of your trade filled your heart unjustly, so I sinned. I will cast you out of the mountain of God, and I will destroy you, O cherub, shaded from among the stones of fire. 17 Your heart has risen to your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom for your glory. I will cast you to the ground, and I will make you before the kings to see you. 18 You have defiled your temples with the multitude of your iniquities, in the darkness of your trade, and I will bring fire out of your midst, and I will consume you, and I will make you ashes on the earth before the eyes of all who see you. 19 And all who know thee among the peoples shall be puzzled by thee, and shall be horrors, and shall not be found for ever.
Described that he was in the Garden of Eden? Was he king of Tire in the Garden of Eden? Describe it on the holy mountain of God? Was he king of Tire on the Holy Mountain? You are the perfect ring, full of wisdom and full of beauty. Are these descriptions applicable to King of Tire? Therefore most commentators see these descriptions as a double prophecy that was used within them to compare the pride of the king of Tire and the pride and fall of Satan. There are some who said that the king of Tire was possessed by the devil which makes the two one. Before the fall Satan was a beautiful creature and full of beauty as Ezekiel said. His pride led him to fall. He rebelled against the LORD, and in the end the Lord brought him into the lake of fire and sulfur, according to Revelation 20:10. Like the devil did the King of Tire was proud of what he does. Rather than recognizing the sovereignty of the Lord. King of Tire believed that his wisdom and strength were his own source. King's quest for more of this is to benefit from other nations and expand his wealth through others. But this is like the pride of the devil who led to his downfall and eventually lost forever. Therefore, she will lose the image, strength and status of her village. Indeed prophecy was achieved through Nebuchadnezzar in Ezekiel 29: 17-21 and in the end by Alexander the Great.
