READ: Ezekiel 28:11-19
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:6
Lucifer had existed only for as long as he was created. Lucifer was newly appointed and newly created. There is nothing about Lucifer that made him like God. Let us look at a few points that show who Lucifer was.
1. Lucifer was created as one of the angels! Lucifer was not in the beginning with God. He was created at a point in time.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that THOU WAST CREATED, till iniquity was found in thee.
Ezekiel 28:15
2. Lucifer was ordained into service! Lucifer was not there at the beginning. After Lucifer’s creation, he was anointed into his role as a cherub.
You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ORDAINED YOU. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
Ezekiel 28:14 (NIV)
3. Lucifer was placed on the mountain!
You were the anointed cherub who covers, AND I PLACED YOU THERE. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:14 (NASB)
4. Lucifer was given special privileges!
You were the anointed cherub. I placed you on the mountain of God. YOU STROLLED IN MAGNIFICENCE among the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:14 (MSG)
5. Lucifer was very attractive!
Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.
Ezekiel 28:17 (BBE)
Anyone who saw him would be moved by his magnificence, his charm and his striking eye-catching features. You will notice how most satanic things have these attractive features. Most demonic things are magnificent, charming and eye-catching.
