Dive deep into the supernatural realm with our latest Bible study video, Ezekiel 28:1-26 - SupernaturalisticFallenAngelsAreAtrocious. In this in-depth exploration of Ezekiel chapter 28, we uncover the unseen forces at play influencing the nations, much like the dark parallel dimension of the Upside Down in Stranger Things. If you're seeking a profound understanding of Bible prophecy, the role of fallen angels, and the intricacies of Old Testament scripture, this video is for you.
This chapter of Ezekiel unfolds in four key segments. First, we examine the rebuke of the Prince of Tyre, historically Ethbaal III, for his audacious claim of divinity. Discover how his earthly pride mirrors a deeper spiritual arrogance. Secondly, we confront the chilling reality of a supernatural menace, identified as the King of Tyre, operating within the unseen realm. This section delves into the nature and influence of demonic forces as revealed in scripture.
Next, we turn our attention to the judgment pronounced upon Sidon, Tyre's sister city, highlighting God's sovereignty over all nations. Finally, we conclude with the glorious future promise of Israel's restoration, a prophecy that ultimately points towards the certainty of the Millennial Kingdom under the reign of Jesus Christ.
Drawing parallels to Loki's boast in the face of the Hulk, we consider the Prince of Tyre's "puny god" delusion. We analyze verses 1-10, exploring Ethbaal's hubris in claiming divine status amidst his maritime power, perhaps even likening himself to Poseidon or Triton. We contrast his arrogance with the wisdom and faithfulness of Daniel, a captive who served God even in a hostile environment. Just as Paul turned his Roman imprisonment into a powerful ministry, Daniel's captivity was within the Lord's hands.
The temptation of becoming "like God," the very lie from the Garden of Eden, continues to plague humanity. While we may not overtly seek worship, unbelievers often live as the ultimate authority in their own lives. Even believers can fall into this trap when worldly desires take precedence over Jesus.
We explore the significance of "the mountain of God" and its potential connection to Mount Hermon, the site where rebellious angels, according to Enoch, descended and interacted with humanity, leading to the Nephilim. This location, near Caesarea-Philippi, was even referred to by some Hebrews as "The Gates of Hell," adding profound context to Jesus' declaration that these gates would not prevail against His church.
The fall of this glorious cherub, driven by pride in his beauty, led to his banishment from God's presence. We connect this account with Isaiah 14, noting how both prophets speak of this event, one as future and the other as past, highlighting God's eternal perspective.
Expanding on Angelology, we touch upon Deuteronomy 32:8-9 (as interpreted by the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint), which speaks of God disinheriting the nations at Babel and assigning them to "Sons of God," angelic beings. We mention the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece from the book of Daniel, suggesting a spiritual battleground behind earthly powers, with Michael as the protector of Israel.
Finally, we examine the prophecy against Sidon (Ezekiel 28:20-24), a nation marked by its contempt for Israel,
