Rather than confuse the Hebrews thread, I thought I'd bring this subject up in its own.
Here's Elijah:
Rev 12 comes after Rev 1 (AD60 or whenever).
Rev 1 says 'things which must shortly come to pass'.
Therefore, Rev 12 HAD NOT COME TO PASS when John was writing. So how can Rev 12 be talking about BGE (before garden of Eden) times?
How can the prince of Tyre be in parallel to Lucifer who was the king of Babylon?
Isa 14.4 "...thou shalt take up this proverb AGAINST THE KING OF BABYLON"
[...]
12 how art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning!
[...]
16 ...is this THE MAN that made the earth to tremble
So no angel is here.
Another big problem here:
This can't be correct, because if I understand the other guys correctly, JESUS was the firstborn of all creation (Col.1.15)
So who was first? (In your opinion).
Again, I have to say that I find no serpent in Ezk 28, but a man:
9 "... but thou art a man, and not God"
and if we are going to interpret scripture faithfully, and understand what it is trying to tell us, then we must abide by what it says. God does not put these things there for us to ignore calmly !

Here's Elijah:
I see satan as the fallen one in Rev. 12 (with several names) who was in the Garden of Eden even before the creation of earth! Christ saw him fall fro heaven as I see it.
Rev 12 comes after Rev 1 (AD60 or whenever).
Rev 1 says 'things which must shortly come to pass'.
Therefore, Rev 12 HAD NOT COME TO PASS when John was writing. So how can Rev 12 be talking about BGE (before garden of Eden) times?
As Christ told Peter to get behind me satan, Inspiration also gives the Eze. 28 seen in the Prince of Tyrus in parallel to Luciffer, as I see it. Clearly the prince was not in heaven, nor a covering Cherub over the Godheads Ark, nor created.

And Inspiration tel's us in Isa. 14:12-14 what the problem was. Without a doubt (for me) Luciffer was the Godheads First of creation to hold the highest of positions in heaven. Created PERFECT as seen in Eze. 28, yet HE WAS NOT CREATED FULLY MATURE. (that is what freedom of worship is all about)
Another big problem here:

More?? Much, Eze. 28 finds satan the serpent calling the Godhead Liars from the start! he hates the Godhead with his satanic passion & attacks Christ at every point of truth with his counterfiet of self worship.
