What we see today is no different than what has already been. As Solomon explained, there is nothing new under the sun. We may not see the correlation right away because the translations confuse what we are looking at, but with a little bit of digging we can see that chapter 28 of Ezekiel is a mirror between two beings. One being is a man, a king who lives on an island of rock. The other is a spiritual being who is called the “prince of this world”, who once lived in stones of fire on a holy mountain, and who coincidently is the god of a small rock on a small hill. Both had science knowledge. Both had a holy place. The man believed that he lived in the habitation of the Elohim. The spiritual being actually did live in the habitation of the Elohim. Both trafficked others, both hoarded gold, both believed that they were beautiful, and both were elevated in their hearts. Both the man and the spiritual being claim that they are the Elohim.
One of the things we noted last week was the unspeakable or incommunicable name of Yahweh Elohim. We will see here in the text that while the Masoretes discounted the book called The Wisdom of Solomon for its understanding of the Holy Spirit and the coming of the Messiah, they did decide to adopt one aspect of Solomons work regarding the incommunicable name. Solomon explains that men gave the unspoken name of Yahweh, YHWH, to their idols. Then by calamity or tyranny they deceived the world into believing that their idols were the I AM, the Mighty Almighty Creator, and forced the worship of said idols.
Wis 14:21 And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.
To circumvent any misuse or blasphemy the Masoretes decided to add the word Adonai to the text or change the word Yahweh to Adonai in the text. The problem with this addition is that it changes and obscures the meanings in the text and renders the text highly inaccurate. When we read this alteration we get a totally different understanding than when we read the original text of the Septuagint. They denote the word Lord in the English in two different ways in order to add this distinction; LORD means “Yahweh”, and Lord means “Adonai”. All words Adonai (Lord) were added or changed after 300 AD. In Ezekiel however the text only uses LORD or Yahweh. Strangely, Ezekiel has 132 alterations of the added Adonai. The AP allows the addition while the Septuagint notes the words Yahweh Elohim as opposed to Adonai Yahweh in the Hebrew.
The Masoretes changed many words for Yahweh to Adonai so as to not personally blaspheme Yahweh Elohim. It became a superstition. The point was not referencing the name Yahweh Elohim, the point was not calling idols or people Yahweh Elohim. We will see how people claiming to be I AM, or YHWH, are dealt with. Again it is not speaking the name that is wrong, it is claiming that an idol or a ruler is Yahweh Elohim. We can see that the superstition was followed through in changing Yahweh to Adonai when we look at Ezekiel 28.
Ezekiel brings us a prophecy over the ruler of Tyre, or tsar. The word Tyre means “rock” and while Tyre is a city on the coast the history of its people are descendants of the Nephil, Philistines, mixed tribes of the Nephilim. It is located about thirty five miles north of Carmel, the home of the prophets. It is an odd prophecy as its first ten verses are a mirror of the second nine verses. Tyre/Tyrus had an island city and a mainland city. They had a temple to Melqart, later known as Hercules-Melqart.
There is a double meaning here as we are talking about the archōn of the rock. There is a worship rock in a hotly contended place in the Middle East where some people worship. While this is not the rock that Ezekiel is speaking of, it is interesting that there is a worship rock in our day and time. The spiritual ruler is the prince of the rock.
When Ezekiel was writing this there had already been three captivities into Babylon and Jerusalem had fallen. This mirrored prophecy shows something interesting, the similarity of things on earth as in heaven.
Ezekiel 28:1 G2532 And G1096 [3came G3056 1 the word G2962 2 of the lord] G4314 to G1473 me, G3004 saying,
2 G2532 And G1473 you, G5207 O son G444 of man, G2036 say G3588 to the G758 ruler G* of Tyre! G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G446.2 because G5312 [2was raised up high G3588 G2588 1your heart], G1473 G2532 and G2036 you said, G3588 [3the G2316 4God G1510.2.1 2am G1473 1I], G2733 [2 the dwelling G2316 3of God G2730 1I inhabited] G1722 in G2588 the heart G2281 of the sea. G1473 But you G1161 G1510.2.2 are G444 a man, G2532 and G3756 not G2316 God, G2532 and G1325 you made G3588 G2588 your heart G1473 G5613 as G2588 the heart G2316 of God.
The first mistake is to take the incommunicable name of Yahweh Elohim as ones’ own. This ruler of the rock was raised up or elevated in his heart in claiming that he is Elohim or I AM. He believes that he inhabits the dwelling of the Elohim. Does the ruler of the rock inhabit the temple of Melqart? Does the Creator of the heavens and earth reside there? Notice this person is a manfaced. The prophecy denotes the difference between this ruler and the other heavenly sons of the Elohim. He is a manfaced, not an angel, cherub, seraph, incorporeal, or anything else.
Ezekiel 28:3 G3361 G4680 [3wiser than G1510.2.2 1Are G1473 2you] G3588 G* Daniel, G2228 or G4680 [2 the wise G3756 1did not] correct G3811 G1473 you G3588 with G1989.1 their higher knowledge? G1473
4 G3361 Is it G1722 by G3588 G1989.1 your higher knowledge, G1473 G2228 or G1722 in G3588 G5428 your intelligence G1473 G4160 you produced G4572 for yourself G1411 power, G2532 and G4046 you procured G5553 gold G2532 and G694 silver G1722 among G3588 G2344 your treasures? G1473
This manfaced, the ruler of the rock, obviously received counsel from Daniel and his wise men in Babylon, but he did not follow that advice. Yahweh Elohim is asking if he is wiser than Daniel. This tells us that he thought Daniel’s advice was not as good as his own ideas. Daniel’s reputation was known all over the middle east. The word used for correct means “to train up or educate by discipline”. The wise men had higher knowledge than the ruler of the rock. Yet the ruler of the rock used his own higher knowledge and intelligence to produce his own power so that he could hoard gold and silver.
The word επιστήμη translated higher knowledge is the word “science”. Science is higher knowledge. Daniel had knowledge from before he was taken captive into Babylon, especially regarding astronomy. He truly had scientific knowledge. The ruler of the rock had some scientific knowledge but it was not as much as Daniel and the wise men. Also the word for intelligence means “mental action or understanding”. There is observant intelligence, ascertaining what is by ones own observance, and then there is intelligence from Yahweh Elohim. This ruler of the rock was able to manufacture power by his acquisition of gold and silver. The ruler of the rock had treasures or a storehouse for precious goods. We might call it a vault or a safe today.
Ezekiel 28:5 G2228 Or G1722 by G3588 G4183 [2much G1989.1 3higher knowledge G1473 1your] G2532 and G3588 in G1711 your trade G1473 G4129 did you multiply G1411 your power, G1473 G2532 and G5312 raise up high G3588 G2588 your heart G1473 G1722 by G3588 G1411 your power? G1473
The word trade here is the word emporia meaning “traffick, trafficking, or business”. Yahweh is asking again if he is a smart business man. What then is Yahweh suggesting? The ruler of the rock did not have the higher intelligence in science or business, yet he thought he did. He was at a point where he elevated his own heart against the counsel of the wise. It would seem that in order to procure gold and silver the ruler of the rock forced laborers to mine it for him. He trafficked in people as slaves and trafficked in gold and silver.
Ezekiel 28:6 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G3592 thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G1894 Since G1325 you imputed G3588 G2588 your heart G1473 G5613 as G2588 the heart G2316 of God;
7 G473 for G3778 this, G2400 behold, G1473 I G1863 bring G1909 upon G1473 you G245 strange G3061 pestilent ones G575 from G1484 the nations. G2532 And G1573.2 they shall empty out G3588 G3162 their swords G1473 G1909 against G1473 you; G1909 against G3588 the G2566.3 beauty G3588 G1989.1 of your higher knowledge; G1473 G2532 and G4766 they shall spread G3588 G2566.3 your beauty G1473 G1519 unto G684 destruction.
Because the ruler of the rock elevated his own heart in claiming to be the Elohim and living in the habitation of the Elohim, Yahweh is bringing allotrios loimos apo ethnos or “another of a different kind of pestilence away from nations”. We could say that alien invaders from the nations were coming with swords to empty him out and destroy him. His knowledge, wisdom, and riches are garbage.
Ezekiel 28:8 G2532 And G2601 they shall bring you down, G1473 G2532 and G599 you shall die G2288 by death G5134.1 of the slain G1722 in G2588 the heart G2281 of the sea.
The ruler of the rock will die in the sea and all his higher knowledge and his good wisdom will not matter any longer. Then Yahweh asks him another question.
Ezekiel 28:9 G3361 In saying, G3004 G2046 will you say, G2316 [3God G1510.2.1 2am G1473 1I], G1799 in the presence of G3588 the ones G337 doing away with G1473 you? G1473 G1161 But G1510.2.2 you are G444 a man, G2532 and G3756 not G2316 God G1722 in G5495 the hand G5103.1 of ones piercing G1473 you.
Is the ruler of the rock going to claim that he is the I AM when the people come to kill him? Yahweh wants to know if he will tell the alien army that he is the Elohim. Obviously he is a man and the ones who come to kill him know that. We can see the illusion that the ruler of the rock created. He was the wonderful and great Oz in his own world. He used smoke and mirrors to claim that he is the I AM, but when faced with someone wielding a sword he is truly only a man.
Incidentally, isn’t this what the son of perdition does? Doesn’t a ruler in Israel walk into the holy of holies claiming to be the Elohim? Since there is no temple today no one can sit in the holy of holies. This will be a future event. When this does happen, about the halfway mark of the tribulation, the Jews will realize that they have been fooled by this leader.
Ezekiel 28:10 G2288 In deaths G564 of the uncircumcised G599 you shall die G1722 by G5495 the hands G245 of strangers; G3754 for G1473 I G2980 spoke, G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord .
The ruler of the rock will die a human death. Now Ezekiel is to speak a funeral song or dirge over the ruler of Tyre. This is not the same ruler we have been reading about, this is a spiritual ruler.
Ezekiel 28:11 G2532 And G1096 came G3056 the word G2962 of the lord G4314 to G1473 me, G3004 saying,
12 G5207 O son G444 of man, G2983 take G2355 a lamentation G1909 over G3588 the G758 ruler G* of Tyre, G2532 and G2036 say G1473 to him! G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G1473 You are G656.2 a seal G3669 of likeness G4134 full G4678 of wisdom, G2532 and G4735 a crown G2566.3 of beauty.
To understand that this is a mirror of the fallen spiritual being over the rock we will call him the prince of the rock, as opposed to the ruler of the rock. The word αποσφράγισμα means “unsealing/unsealed or opening/opened”. The word for likeness is “resemblance or assimilation”. It literal reads this way:
“You unsealed resembling covered by wisdom and crown beauty.”
This prince of the rock is unsealed or opened, meaning that he is no longer hidden or cloaked, he is revealed. What is revealed? It is revealed that he only resembles being covered by wisdom and a crown of beauty. It is only a likeness or you could say “smoke and mirrors”. The prince of the rock is not actually covered in wisdom and crowned with beauty. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Ezekiel 28:13 G1722 [2in G3588 3the G5172 4luxury G3588 G3857 5of the paradise G3588 G2316 6of God G1096 1You were]; G3956 [2every G3037 4stone G5543 3precious G1735.1 1you bound on] -- G4556 sardius, G2532 and G5116 topaz, G2532 and G4665 emerald, G2532 and G440 carbuncle, G2532 and G4552 sapphire, G2532 and G2393 jasper, G2532 and G694 silver, G2532 and G5553 gold, G2532 and G3033.1 amber, G2532 and G884.1 agate, G2532 and G271 amethyst, G2532 and G5555 chrysolite, G2532 and G969 beryl, G2532 and G3689.3 onyx.

“In the luxury the paradise the Elohim come into being injected all stones useful”…..
The first thing we have to notice in this verse is that no man has ever been in the paradise of the Elohim, so the ruler of the rock, a manfaced, is not who we are speaking of. The being we are speaking of has been injected with or bound with stones. This is not a coat or tunic, it is injected into his physical form. Put together gems and liquid metals and form it into something. Yahweh lists all the stones bound on or injected into the being. These stones are in the paradise of the Elohim. After the listed stones we see this being has a vault of gold. There is a discrepancy here in the actual wording between the AP and the LXX-WH.
“…and gold fill up the deposit you and the repository you in you.”
The LXX-WH says this:
...G2532 CONJ και G5553 N-GSN χρυσιου V-AAI-2S ενεπλησας G3588 T-APM τους G2344 N-APM θησαυρους G4771 P-GS σου G2532 CONJ και G3588 T-APF τας G596 N-APF αποθηκας G4771 P-GS σου G1722 PREP εν G4771 P-DS σοι G575 PREP αφ G3739 R-GSF ης G2250 N-GSF ημερας G2936 V-API-2S εκτισθης G4771 P-NS συ
“…and gold full the treasure you and the repository you in you from this day fabricate (form, shape, make) you.”
While they both say something similar, we see that this beings’ gold treasure and vault from that day, is the day of that beings’ fabrication. Just as we saw the fabrication or creation of Drakōn from the Book of Job, or the adam in the book of Genesis, we see that this being was formed. He was not procreated as we are. We have to connect the next sentence in the LXX-WH to make better sense of this.
Ezekiel 28:14 G575 From G3739 which day G2250 G2936 you were created G2532 and G2680 were carefully prepared G3326 with G3588 the G5501.4 cherub G5548 being anointed G3844 by G2316 God, G2532 and G3588 G2681 encamping G1722 in G4638 the tent, G2532 even G5087 I put G1473 you G1722 on G3735 [2mount G39 1 the holy] G2316 of God; G1096 you existed G1722 among G3319 the midst G3037 of the stones G4447 of fire.
The word with, meta, is either denoting accompaniment, or succession, meaning “after”. The being with all the pretty stones in the luxurious paradise of Elohim was created with or after the cherub. This does not make this being a cherub it makes this being something different that was made successively after or in company with the cherub. Like a potter may make a cup and saucer in the same day, that is the intent here. They are made together, not exactly at the same time, but in a relatively close space of time. Then this being was put in the holy mountain of the Elohim in the middle of the stones of fire. Was there a manfaced ruler made this way? No. Was a manfaced ruler placed in the holy mountain of God? No. Was a manfaced ruler in the middle of the stones of fire? No.
Ezekiel 28:14 G3326 PREP μετα G3588 T-GSN του N-PRI χερουβ G5087 V-AAI-1S εθηκα G4771 P-AS σε G1722 PREP εν G3735 N-DSN ορει G40 A-DSN αγιω G2316 N-GSM θεου G1096 V-API-2S εγενηθης G1722 PREP εν G3319 A-DSM μεσω G3037 N-GPM λιθων G4447 A-GPM πυρινων
“After the cherub I put you in mountain holy Elohim come into being/birthed in middle stone fire”.
If we put the two phrases together:
“…and gold full the treasure you and the repository you in you from this day fabricate (form, shape, make) you after the cherub I put you in mountain holy Elohim come into being/birthed in middle stone fire.
This tells us the process of the creation of this being. It was filled with twelve stones and two metals and the gold was stored in it, then it was fabricated and put in the mountain of the Elohim birthed in the middle of the stones of fire. What is this being? It is not a man or a cherub. It lost its gems and metals when it became corrupted and decayed.
The adam was fabricated from dust and the Elohim breathed life into him. After this the adam was placed in Eden. There is a process to the forming of the sons of the Elohim. After the adam was formed then Eve was formed from the adam. Then humans could procreate. We do not know whether other spiritual sons of God procreate after their own kind. We only know that once the angels put off their habitation they procreated with human women.
If we step back for a moment we know we are looking at the creation of one of the sons of the Elohim. There are many different sons of the Elohim. There are cherubs, seraphs, ophan, there are angels, there are chalkydri, and phoenixes, as well as a dragon called Drakōn. There are the seven eyes, the seven spirits, the seven thunders, four beasts, and the rainbows. Drakōn is the only “one of a kind” being as we are told by Job. His is an instigator, a prick, a goad, who is created to sport with the angels. The being who is the prince of Tyre is different in that there are no wings, there is no face, or eyes, or hands, or back ever mentioned as there is with the cherubs, seraphs, ophans, beasts, or the seven eyes. This being is not necessarily a “one of a kind” but probably a class in and of itself. It was fabricated with gems and metals. Today it has no direct form in that it is an incorporeal, which can be air, aether, fire, or light. It lost its form. Satanas is now an incorporeal being. He is a fallen son of the Elohim. His class was created at the time of the cherub class. He lost his precious gems and metals when he became rotten. He now transforms himself as air, aether, fire, or light, because he has no form, no gems or metals. He can transform himself into an angel of light, but he has been unsealed and exposed and can only resemble light. He cannot reflect the Elohim any longer.
Ezekiel 28:15 G1096 You were G1473 G299 unblemished G1722 in G3588 G2250 your days G1473 G575 of G3739 which G2250 day G2936 you were created, G2193 until G3739 of which time G2147 [3were found G3588 1the G92 2offences] G1722 in G1473 you.
This prince of the rock was unblemished in his days on the holy mountain of Elohim in the middle of the stones of fire. Is it odd that he came out of the stones of fire when crime was found in him and now in our very day he is the prince of a rock that many people go visit, where they built a big dome over said rock? It seems like the temple of Melqart was a nicer looking place than this rock that was simply under the Roman Fortress Antonia in the first century. What a fall from being in the holy mountain in the stones of fire, created with twelve stones and two metals in order to reflect the Elohim’s light, to becoming an obscure shadow.
Ezekiel 28:16 G575 From G4128 the abundance G3588 G1711 of your trade G1473 G4130 you filled G3588 G5009 your storerooms G1473 G458 with lawlessness, G2532 and G264 sinned. G2532 And G5135 you were wounded G575 from G3735 the mountain G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G71 [4led G1473 5you G3588 1the G5501.4 2cherub G3588 G4951.3 3overshadowing] G1537 from out of G3319 the midst G3037 of the stones G4447 of fire.
The multitude of trafficking filled a secret chamber or inner room with iniquity and sin. Is this the same repository that was filled with gold? Whatever was being done with the abundant trafficking it was full of illegal violations. Yahweh Elohim is a lawful Creator to all his sons. The prince of the rock was traumatizō, “wounded or traumatized” away from the mountain of the Elohim. Then the prince of the rock was led away from the middle of the stones of fire by the overshadowing cherub. This is a singular cherub, not several cherubim. An overshadowing cherub would denote a ruling cherub, over all the others in that region.
Ezekiel 28:17 G5312 [2was raised up high G3588 G2588 1Your heart] G1473 G1909 over G3588 G2566.3 your beauty; G1473 G1311 [2was corrupted G3588 G1989.1 1your higher knowledge] G1473 G3326 with G3588 G2566.3 your beauty G1473 G1223 because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 G266 of your sins. G1473 G1909 [3upon G3588 4the G1093 5earth G4495 1I tossed G1473 2you]; G1726 [3before G935 4kings G1325 1I put G1473 2you] G3856 to be made an example.
This seems to be the same problem that the ruler of the rock had, his heart was elevated over his beauty. In this case however the prince of the rock’s beauty is only a reflection of the Elohim. The prince of the rock’s higher knowledge or science knowledge was rotted thoroughly or decayed. Sin decays.
Is it any wonder that science is a religion today and that corrupted science is a cult? The prince of the rock had science knowledge, but not all knowledge, just some scientific knowledge. Maybe he had cultic science knowledge. We can see that the one who is behind corrupted science or pseudo-science, is the same one who thought he knew it all but was removed from the stones of fire.
The word earth is not in the LXX-WH, it should read:
“because of the multitude sins upon the indeed, I throw away you before kings I put you example”.
This tells us that the sins were not committed on the earth. Nor was the prince of the rock tossed to the earth. We assume that. To be tossed or thrown and made an example of does not mean that he was tossed on to the earth, he could be tossed anywhere that was out of the stones of fire. This clears up the misunderstanding that Satanas was thrown down to the earth already, it has not happened and will not happen until the seven thunders speak. He still has free rein in the heavens and comes and goes, as he accuses us before the throne of God day and night. The sins of an elevated heart along with pseudo-science were committed among the stones of fire. The tossing as an example before kings, does not mean to those on the earth but could be anywhere in the heavens. As we know, there are ranks among angels so there are kings everywhere in heaven and earth. The kings or leaders saw this event. Did the people of earth see this event? No. These are kings in the the heavens.
There will be kings in the millennial reign and kings in the New Jerusalem. If we read Revelation 21, we see some similarities between the New Jerusalem and the gems and metals that the prince of the rock was infused with. There will be twelve precious stones and gold streets. There will not be a sun or a moon because the light will come from the glory of the Elohim and the Lamb is its light.
Ezekiel 28:18 G1223 Because of G3588 the G4128 multitude G3588 G266 of your sins G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G93 iniquities G3588 G1711 of your trade G1473 G953 you profaned G3588 G2413 your temples; G1473 G2532 and G1806 I will lead G4442 fire G1537 from out of G3319 your midst, G1473 G3778 this G2719 shall devour G1473 you; G2532 and G1325 I will put G1473 you G1519 for G4700 ashes G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth G1726 before G3956 all G3588 the ones G3708 seeing G1473 you.
The abundance of sin means that the prince of the rock was doing a lot of things wrong and it was snowballing. The iniquities of emporia are legal injustices, intentional violation of law, and behaving unrighteously in his trade or commerce. We talk a lot today about human trafficking, but there are probably many types of trafficking; such as enticing angels to rebel and then forcing them to do whatever the prince of the rock wants. Once the angels rebelled then they were under the authority of Satanas, and some are now principalities and powers, dark rulers on the earth. We know that Deuteronomy tells us angels were put in charge over all the nations. This was the job of some angels.
Deu 32:8 (Brenton) When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
This is after the fall of the angels and the procreation of the Nephilim. However some angels may still fall, they all have free will. Now the fallen angels war against Yahweh’s angels.
Dan 10:12 (Brenton) And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to afflict thyself before the Lord thy God, they words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
Dan 10:14 and I have come to inform thee of all that shall befall thy people in the last days: for the vision is yet for many days.
And as Paul told us, we wrestle against principalities, powers, and the kosmokratōr of obscurity, the world ruler of darkness. This then is understandable because the abundant sins lead to legal violations in the prince of the rock’s merchandising. What is he buying and selling? It would seem that it is gold, precious gems, and the souls of men, the same things that people will mourn the loss of in Revelation 18:13. He is the world ruler of darkness, where once he reflected the brilliance of the Elohim, he is now a shadow that is blocking light, although he can transform himself into an angel of light. But wait, there is more.
There is the desecration of the prince of the rock’s sacred places. We see the LXX-WH uses hieron, meaning “sacred place” G2411, while other texts uses hieros, meaning “sacred” G2413. The sacred place is not The temple, it is A temple. The ruler of the rock had a temple for Hercules-Melqart and claimed that he was inhabiting the dwelling of the Elohim and that he was in fact the YHWH, the I AM. The prince of the rock actually did live on the Elohim’s holy mountain and was inhabiting the stones of fire of the Elohim. But when his heart was elevated, while he did not claim that he was I AM at this time, he did believe that he was more beautiful and had greater knowledge/science than anyone else. Yet as we know, even with all his bling he was only a reflection of the Elohim. Now the prince of the rock is not among the stones of fire but is just a dirty rock that sits on the place that the Roman Fortress Antonia existed. The only way to get people to notice it was to make up a story about it that humans would believe.
The spiritual prince of the rock has been unsealed and his phony image has been revealed as not having wisdom and beauty. His science knowledge is pseudo-science, not all knowing and not all powerful. The prince of the rock, the incorporeal known as Satanas had a trade, like all the other sons of the Elohim. He thought he was more beautiful with all his precious stones and metals than any other of the sons of the Elohim. He started to believe and elevate his own heart. He started to slip up. Then he had an abundance of legal violations so that he was filling up secret chambers with illegal trade. His science knowledge was rotting. He desecrated his sacred place. After being led out of the stones of fire this prince of the rock altered his own name to pretend to be the I AM. He took the incommunicable name as his own and by tyranny and calamity forced people to worship him. He will be eaten by fire and reduced to ashes in front of onlookers.
Because of this, Yahweh Elohim will lead forth fire from the prince of the rock’s middle and it will eat him until it is finished. Yahweh Elohim will give his ashes over in the presence of all looking at him. The word earth is not in this verse either, as in verse 17 in the LXX-WH. Yahweh is not spreading his ashes over the earth, instead it literally reads:
“I give you into ashes over the indeed, in the presence of all the look upon you.”
We would say that “..the fire will eat him and Yahweh will give him over to the ashes, indeed, in the presence of all who are looking at him”. The word γέ, translated “indeed or truly” is for emphasis or qualification. Some have mistakenly translated it as γης meaning land. It is for emphasis in both cases in this section meaning it is truly going to happen. Indeed.
Why is this fate awaiting this once beautiful reflection of the Elohim? Because sins snowballed into iniquity and eventually corruption and decay took place. The once glorious being living among the stones of fire on the holy mountain of the Elohim is now a prince of a rock on a little hill on earth. Very sad.
Ezekiel 28:19 G2532 And G3956 all G3588 the ones G1987 knowing G1473 you G1722 among G3588 the G1484 nations G4768 shall be gloomy G1909 over G1473 you; G684 [2for destruction G1096 1you became], G2532 and G3756 you shall not G5224 exist G2089 any longer G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon
The word knowing is better translated “visitors or acquainted with”. The nations are acquainted with the prince of the rock, they know about him and some believe his many lies. The nations will be sorrowful and shocked when they find out the truth. Imagine all the people who pilgrimaged to the rock to see it and touch it through the wooden fence, or go underneath it down a narrow stairway in order to pray under it or next to it. They will be sorrowful for believing the lie. The prince of the rock has already been unsealed and revealed as a phony image. The prince of the rock will become eternal ruin and will no longer exist into the ages. The prince of the rock has an ending of ashes.
The parallels between the ruler of the rock and the prince of the rock are fascinating. While one was clearly a man the other was clearly a spiritual son of the Elohim. Both had beauty and science knowledge. Both trafficked in gold. Both hoarded gold. Both were elevated in their own heart. Both have called themselves the I AM, the incommunicable name of the Most High YHWH. Both fooled people by their fake image and both are destroyed for it. The spiritual prince of the rock has been unsealed and his image is not beautiful. He pretends. He wants people to worship him. He wants to enslave humans, making them destroy the creation of the Elohim. The human rulers imitate the spiritual sons of the Elohim. The human rulers are influenced by the spiritual sons of the Elohim. While Satanas was once a reflection of the Elohim, humans are reflecting his fallen state of obscurity. The Elohim is light, life, and love, while the fallen pseudo god is darkness, death, and hate. The Elohim is a Creator, the prince of the rock is an imitator.
