Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 are two significant Old Testament chapters that tell the tale of Lucifer's fall. Let's quickly review each of these. According to Ezekiel 28's context, the first 10 verses of this chapter appear to be discussing a human leader. The conversation then turns to Lucifer, commencing in verse 11 and continuing through verse 19. The fall of Lucifer is such an image that can be transfered to the modern world, good always wins over evil.

The Bible's account of Lucifer's fall

What evidence supports the inference that the last few lines pertain to Lucifer's demise? The subject shifts to the king of Tyre beginning in verse 11, although the first 10 verses of this chapter concern the ruler of Tyre (who was punished for claiming to be a deity even though he was only a man). Though Tyre had a human "ruler," many academics hold that Satan was actually the true "king" of the city because he was ultimately responsible for what was happening in this anti-God city and for working through the human ruler. Some have speculated that these words might possibly be discussing a Tyrean human monarch who was given authority by Satan. The ancient Tyrean ruler might have been Satan's agent or even his inhabitant. Ezekiel gives us a peek of this king's use, if not inhabitation, by the superhuman entity known as Satan as well. There are certain things about this "monarch" that are true, but they cannot ultimately be stated to be true of people. For instance, the king is depicted as having a different nature from man (he is a cherub, verse 14), having a different position from man (he was blameless and sinless, verse 15), existing in a different realm from man (the holy mount of God, verses 13, 14), and experiencing a different judgment from man (he was expelled from the mountain of God and thrown to the earth, verse 16). Additionally, the adjectives used to describe him don't seem to fit that.

Why Did Lucifer Rebel? And Who Is He?

According to our reading, this king was a created being who left God's creative hand in flawless condition. And up until sin was discovered in him, he continued to live a flawless life. What offense was this? Ezekiel 28:17 states, "Your heart became arrogant because of your beauty, and your intelligence was corrupted because of your magnificence." Lucifer evidently started yearning for the respect and glory that belonged exclusively to God because he was so taken with his own beauty, knowledge, power, and position. Lucifer was tainted by the sin of self-generated pride. This appears to be the genuine beginning of sin in the universe, occurring some unspecified amount of time before the fall of the human Adam. When Lucifer used his free will and made the decision to rebel against the Creator, it was the beginning of sin.God properly judged this powerful angelic being by saying, "I tossed you to the earth." This doesn't mean that Satan lost entrance to heaven, as other verses in the Bible make it quite apparent that Satan continued to have access to heaven even after his fall. Ezekiel 28:18, however, reveals that Satan was completely and utterly expelled from God's celestial dominion and his position of authority.

Another Old Testament chapter that might allude to Lucifer's demise is Isaiah 14, verses 12 through 17. We must be honest and acknowledge that some Bible scholars find no mention of Lucifer in this chapter at all. According to some interpretations, the being addressed in this verse is a man (Isaiah 14:16), is comparable to other rulers on earth (verse 18), and the phrase "how you have fallen from heaven" (verse 12) alludes to a fall from lofty political positions. Other academics view this text as exclusively relating to Lucifer's demise and making no mention whatsoever of a human king. The claim is that because this person is described as being above and above humankind, it cannot be an ordinary mortal man.There is a third perspective, which I believe is superior than the first two. According to this interpretation, Isaiah 14:12–17 has two references. Verse 4 through verse 11 might refer to a real-life ruler of Babylon. Then, in lines 12–17, we get a dual allusion that includes not only the king of Babylon but also a symbolic description of Lucifer. If this text alludes to Lucifer's fall, then the passage's structure would seem to match that of the one in Ezekiel 28: first, a human leader is portrayed, and then a reference is made to both a human leader and Satan.

Satan fall. Fallen angels

Satan's and his angels' demise is shrouded in secrecy and mystery. Christian orthodoxy has viewed the devil and his henchmen as angels who were created by God but fell into sin and suffering throughout the history of the church. "The devils by creation were good angels, as powerful, wise, fast, speedy, invisible, and immortal as any other angels," claimed William Gouge (1575–1653). The Puritans held that demons and angels were of the same nature, but that because they rebelled against God, they became subject to divine wrath. According to Gouge, when these angels fell, "They lost not their natural substance, and fundamental attributes thereof, no more than what man lost when he fell. Only his nature and attributes have changed from being good to being evil. In light of this, the Westminster Larger Catechism accurately argues, "God by his providence let certain of the angels to fall into sin and damnation, wilfully and irrecoverably, restricting and directing that, and all their transgressions, to his own glory."

The Anointed Cherub is Lucifer

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1558), who wrote extensively on the fallen angels, felt that Lucifer—the name that numerous church historians have given to Satan before his fall—was formed to be vastly superior to all other angels and possessed some kind of leadership, control, and might over them. In Edwards' words, Lucifer "was the chief of all the angels, of the greatest natural capacity, power and intelligence, and highest in honor and dignity, the brightest of all those stars" before his fall. Isaiah 14:12, which reads, "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of dawn," was referenced by Edwards. —as proof that Lucifer shone brighter than all the other angels that God had made. According to Edwards, the phrase "the anointed cherub" (Ezek. 28:14) refers to Lucifer, who was made to be the highest angel. Ezekiel 28:14 also says that Lucifer lived "on the holy mountain of God" and moved "among the stones of fire." The "covering cherub" (KJV), who resides in the Holy of Holies of the temple and uses his wings to hide God's throne, appears to be mentioned in Ezekiel 28:16.

Jesus Christ

In this situation, according to Edwards, this cherub represents the being who is situated most closely to God's throne. According to Edwards, this was a tremendous honor that elevated him beyond all other angels. But as the second member of the Godhead, Christ is exalted supremely higher than Lucifer, Edwards soon emphasized. Edwards conjectured that while Lucifer only sat a short distance from the throne, Christ, who was infinitely more excellent and superior in every way, sat there alongside God for all eternity.

Fallen Lucifer represents that idea that good will win over evil. Angelic world and frightening hell worlds exist, so be careful with your actions and words! Satan's fall and Milton's Paradise Lost will give you a lot of important information.
