The King of Tyre & the fallen Cherub Thru the Bible: Ezekiel 28 Now, what we are about to read is one of the most puzzling portions of scripture I’ve ever dealt with. It has a sister passage of lesser difficulty in Isaiah 14 but this passage introduces some interesting new difficulties unique to Ezekiel. Prophets often see weird things and are shown illustrative visions. In the great majority of cases, these do not introduce any real puzzles because they are usually explained in one way or another somewhere in the same passage or at least within the same book. Here in Ezekiel however, we see something which I believe is unique. You have a prophecy which clearly has a real human object - the King of Tyre and Tyre itself as a nation. However, then there is this clear depiction of a fallen cherub. While there are some similarities between the King of Tyre and this cherub being described, there are perhaps more dissimilarities - at least on the surface. This has led many to wonder if it is a parallel or a dual-reference with satan himself being the actual party being described. Now as you are reading the description of this creature, it would be easy to assume this is referring to satan, as many in Church history have done. However, there are two portions of this description of him which I cannot figure out how it even COULD apply to ANY heavenly creature. I hope this study will help to expose some assumptions as being such and focus in on what carries some merit. Blessi
