READ: Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:16-18
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:12
In the above passage of Scripture: Isaiah 14:12-15, we are shown five statements Lucifer made using “I will”:
1. I will ascend into heaven
2. I will exalt my throne
3. I will sit on the mount of the congregation
4. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds
5. I will be like the Most High God.
Five “I Wills” of God
In Ezekiel 28:16-18, there are five “I will” declarations by God against Lucifer:
1. I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God
2. I will destroy thee
3. I will cast thee to the ground
4. I will lay thee before kings
5. I will bring thee to ashes.
The five “I wills” of Lucifer were met with five “I wills” of God. Lucifer rose up with his strong will and pride. He rose up against God and declared his intentions to rise and overthrow Almighty God. He had completely forgotten that he was appointed and created. God Almighty met him and threw him down with a greater show of strong will and determination. Lucifer deserved to be thrown down with strength because he had raised up himself against God.
