Satan: Pre and Post Fall. And Satan Has a Son!

As we start the lecture our pastor recognizes that it's Father’s Day. We trust that he will find a way to work that into the sermon. But how, we don't know, because todays lecture starts with Satan and his intellect and attributes. So let’s all try, along with our pastor, to think like Satan (that came out wrong). Oh... that's better. Now our pastor starts describing God and His attributes. These are things that Satan knows... but he chooses to ignore what he knows and disregards all of it to think the thoughts he wants to think in order to impose his plan. Some of us have met people like that. Now there's more to this, but let’s get on with the list so we can start the lecture:

Isaiah 14:12-15
A. Shining One
B. Son of Satan
C. He Said in his Heart
1. I will Ascend Heaven
2. I will Exalt My Throne
3. I will Also Sit on Mount
4. I will Ascend Above Clouds
5. I will Be Like God
Ezekiel 28:12-17
D. Seal of Perfection
E. Full of Wisdom
F. Perfect in Beauty
G. In Eden (King)
H. Precious Stone
I. Timbrel - Pipes
J. Anointed Cherub
K. Mtn.
L. Walked back forth
M. Perfect in his ways
N. Created
But Then...
O. Sin was found
P. Fill with Hate / Violence
Q Traffic
R. Pride / Ego
S. Beauty
T. Wisdom Corrupted

That's your list. Now press play to make sense of any of it. A lot of great stuff ahead and good questions too.

You may have some good questions of your own. If you get stuck, just know that it’s perfectly alright to call or write this pastor. When you do, please take the time to encourage him as well.

Thanks for listening,
