Story of Satan - Part 1

Almost every Christian believes that Satan or the devil entered into the garden of Eden to deceive man to sin against God. But for the first time in my life, I heard one man (Andrew Wommack) saying that he personally does not believe it. Later my further meditation upon the Word of God regarding this strange belief, has brought me to the same belief that it was not Satan who was in the garden of Eden to deceive Man. Now I strongly believe it, but I am not trying to make you believe so. However, through this series, I am going to show many facts to deny the fact that Satan was in the garden of Eden.

First, I want you to go very carefully through the below passage of the Scripture (Ezekiel 28:11-19) , as many points that I am going to make to prove the above belief are based on it.

Ezekiel  28:11-19

(11)  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(12)  Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
(13)  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
(14)  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.
(15)  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
(16)  By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
(17)  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
(18)  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
(19)  All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Although almost every Christian does not believe the fact that Satan was not in the garden of Eden, they do believe that the above passage of the Scripture talks about none other, but about Satan. Hence, I believe that I would be fair enough by everyone who reads this message when I am using the same passage of the Scripture to prove my belief.

First, let's consider the 13th verse:(13)  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Now, take a notice of the part of the above verse in the green. Then, look at the below sentence which has followed the same punctuations as in the above.

Mr. Joy has been in the party; every precious stone was his covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle and gold:

If you are asked to explain how Mr. Joy  was dressed for the party by looking at the above statement, how would you explain?

Well, first you begin to notice the semi-colon mark at the end of the first clause of the above statement. This semi-colon mark implies that all the precious stones named after it explain the same Joy who was in the party. Thus, you simply come to the conclusion that Mr. Joy  has gone to the party with ten types of precious stones on his body.

Well, now how do you explain how Satan was dressed in the garden of Eden when he came to deceive Adam and Eve?

Now, let's look at the 12th verse:(12)  Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Our study of the 13th verse allows us to say that the king of Tyrus in the 12th verse is not a human, but Satan. Since the 13th verse explaining Satan how he was dressed when he was entering the garden of Eden, the 12th verse, which is found just before the 13th verse apparently explains about his nature before he was entering the garden of Eden.

What is the nature of Satan you can see in the 12th verse, when he was entering the garden of Eden?

Yes, Satan was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

Now just imagine could Satan bear all this glory in the capacity of the devil?
