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 “ …. 'Ayam Atma Brahma'
or 'This Self is Brahman', occurs in the Mandukya Upanishad. (c) Brahman - The Ultimate Reality. Gen 3:4 "You
will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. |
