Ezek.25-28; Rev.10;

Ezek 28:12-15

'You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. 14 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. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.

This has always been a very interesting scripture to me.  Ezekiel is being told to speak to the king of Tyre these words. As he does we discover, either that king was a representative of, or actually Satan himself. We find He was in Eden. He was adorned with every precious stone. His settings and mountings were made of gold. “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. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.” We have this picture of Satan that was created for something else entirely different until evil was found in him. Mankind was created to be the children of God and the only thing that can keep people from reaching that goal is to choose to worship the created (Rom 1) rather than the creator. So today I will be in my chair at 9am with you to worship the creator and declare We are the children of the living God the creator of all things and by being there we also declare we will never bow down to the created.

May the creator bless you and keep you as you honor Him on this day for great things He has done….
