The Fall

………………till iniquity5766 was found4672 in thee.

Eze 28:16  By the multitude7230 of thy merchandise7404 they have filled4390 the midst8432 of thee with violence2555, and thou hast sinned2398: therefore I will cast thee as profane2490 out of the mountain2022 of God430: and I will destroy6 thee, O covering5526 cherub3742, from the midst8432 of the stones68 of fire784.

Eze 28:17  Thine heart3820 was lifted up1361 because of thy beauty3308, thou hast corrupted7843 thy wisdom2451 by reason of5921 thy brightness3314: I will cast7993 thee to the ground776, I will lay5414 thee before6440 kings4428, that they may behold7200 thee.

Eze 28:18  Thou hast defiled2490 thy sanctuaries4720 by the multitude7230 of thine iniquities5771, by the iniquity5766 of thy traffick7404; therefore will I bring forth3318 a fire784 from the midst8432 of thee, it shall devour398 thee, and I will bring5414 thee to ashes665 upon the earth776 in the sight5869 of all them that behold7200 thee.  

 

Why did the Satan Fall?

1.      multitude of merchandise filled with violence

2.       lifted up because of beauty corrupted wisdom by reason of brightness

Power corrupted.  This is explained in Isaiah in more detail:

Isa 14:12  "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!

Isa 14:13  You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north;

Isa 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High.'

Isa 14:15  But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit.

Isa 14:16  Those who see you will stare at you, and ponder over you: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,

Isa 14:17  who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?'

Here Isaiah addresses him as Day Star, son of Dawn indicating

The Beauty and brightness which are described in detail in Ezekiel.  The son of Dawn is interpreted to imply that these Cherubs were created at the dawn of the days before the creation of the beings.  The reason for the fall as pride and selfishness is described in detail

1.         I will ascent to heaven above the stars of God

2.         I will set my throne on high

3.         I will sit on the mount of assembly

4.         I will ascent above the heights of clouds

5.         I will make myself like the Most High.

The Creature wanted to be the creator and overthrow him.  This being is saying that there is no real God, I am God.  Self is God, there is no other.  This is the same corruption of the New Age and Advaitists.  This in itself causes the fall.  Because of this ego, he brought himself down to the Sheol. When every being thinks thus violence and destruction is inevitable.   By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence.”

I will make myself like the Most High  

Brahma satyam jagan mithya jivo brahmaiva naparah
“Brahaman is the only reality; this world is not real; jiva is nothing else but Brahaman itself”

“ …. 'Ayam Atma Brahma' or 'This Self is Brahman', occurs in the Mandukya Upanishad.
'Ayam' means 'this', and here 'thisness' refers to the self-luminous and non-mediate nature of the Self, which is internal to everything, from the Ahamkara or ego down to the physical body. This Self is Brahman, which is the substance out of which all things are really made. That which is everywhere, is also within us, and what is within us is everywhere. This is called 'Brahman', because it is plenum, fills all space, expands into all existence, and is vast beyond all measure of perception or knowledge. On account of self-luminosity, non-relativity and universality, Atman and Brahman are the same.”

(c) Brahman - The Ultimate Reality.

F
ormless, inexpressible, unknowable, and unknowing; neither personal nor impersonal; both Creator and all that is created. Brahman is all and all is Brahman. The ultimate truth and salvation (for the Hindu) is to "realize" that he is himself Brahman (self realization) that he and all the Universe are one and the same being (I am God). Brahmin is everything and yet nothing; it comprises both good and evil, life and death, health and diseases and, even the unreality of Maya (illusion). (Brahmin is all good, but also, all evil).

(d)
Self Realization.

T
he ultimate goal of Eastern Meditation and Yoga by whatever name it is called: deliverance from the "illusion" that the individual self is different from the Universal Self, or Brahman. Through ignorance man has supposedly forgotten who he really is and thus thinks of himself as distinct from his neighbor and Brahman. Through "Self-Realization" he is liberated from this ignorance of individual existence and returns to "Union with Brahman" again.

Gen 3:5  "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
