"THERE IS NO GOD BUT MYSELF" "KNOWING THIS, WHO DARES WORSHIP THE FALSE GODS OF THE KORAN AND BIBLE?" -SATAN

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist." ~ Charles Baudelaire

While some Hebrew and Christian scholars don’t believe Ezekiel 28 refers to Satan, many others - both ancient and modern -do. If the passage does refer to Satan, it indicates that he is a creature and while he seems to have more strength and abilities than people, he does not possess the same strength and abilities as God. Furthermore, Satan is a non-material being, according to the Bible. He is a spirit. He was created as an angel in the order of cherubim. Ezekiel 28:14 reads,

"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." (KJV)

Contrary to the idea that Satan is a non-personal “force,” the Bible teaches that he is personal. Not only do Bible writers refer to Satan by personal pronouns (e.g. “he” and “him”), but they describe him as having attributes of a personal being such as speech, will, thought, and an agenda.The devil's fall

The following summary of the devil or Satan's fall, assumes that at least part of Ezekiel 28, specifically, verses 11-19, refer to, in part, the devil or Satan. Early church fathers of the Christian faith, such as Saint Augustine and Tertullian, interpreted Ezekiel 28 this way. This interpretation aligns with later Scripture in the New Testament, for example John 8:44 and 1 John 3:8.

Ezekiel 25:1-28:20 contain lamentations articulated by God through the prophet over various nations. Beginning in 28:11 there is a noticable shift. God is still lamenting something terrible, associated with Tyre, yet aspects that are mentioned in the description go beyond human fulfillment. In other words, the description of "the King of Tyre" does not fit that of any merely human leader.

Verses 12-15 indicate that the devil's original state as a created angel was of perfection. He was wise (v. 12), beautiful (v. 12-13), anointed (v. 14), and a servant (v. 14). Seemingly, Satan had the ability to make choices, which he did in a wicked and rebellious manner. This is the origin of sin in the world, and sin is the reason for evil in the world. After the rebellion, Satan was a violent, profane-ridden fallen angel (v. 17), who was marked by pride (v. 18).
