Ezekiel 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of high statute; and his top was among the thick boughs.
GOD USING THIS ANALOGY TO DESCRIBE SATAN.
THE ASSYRIAN= IT SHOULD READ "TE ASHSHUR"= A BOX TREE, INSTEAD OF "ASHSHUR= AN ASSYRIAN.
31:4 The waters (SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE; REV. 17:15) made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plans, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
SATAN'S FAMILY.
THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL = SATAN.
TREES= SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE.
IT GOES BACK TO THE FOUR RIVERS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches (BRANCH IN THE HEBREW) became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs (ARMS), and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
HE IS THE PRINCE OF THE AIR.
31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
GOD ALLOWED IT.
31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
IN OTHER WORDS, SATAN WAS MADE THE FULL PATTERN (BEAUTY AND INTELLIGENCE).
ANGELS ARE MADE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WE ARE AND THEY ALSO HAVE A BODY.
MAKE A NOTE OF EZEKIEL 28.
31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches (MORE SETTLED THAN ALL THE LIVING CREATURES IN THE WORLD): so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; 'Because thou hast filled up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
HE THINKS HE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE.
31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen (NATIONS); he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out (IN) for his wickedness.
31:12 And strangers (FOREIGNERS), the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
GOD'S ELECT WILL BRING HIM DOWN.
31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
31:14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death (DEATH IS ONE OF SATAN'S NAMES= HEB. 2:14), to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.'
HE IS VERY GOOD IN DECEPTION, AND HE WILL TAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH HIM.
31:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; 'In the day when he went down to the grave (HELL) I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him (HE VALUES THE DECEPTION).
31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down ( I CAUSED HIM TO DESCEND) to hell (GRAVE=SHEOL IN THE HEBREW) with them that descent unto the pit: and all the trees of Eden (ALL THE FAMILIES THAT CAME OUT OF THAT), the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
SATAN WAS CREATED TO GUARD THE MERCY SEAT, IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE.
HE EARNED THE HIGHEST POSITION IN HEAVEN, BECAUSE HE WAS VERY INTELLIGENT AND GOOD OF WHAT HE DID. HOWEVER, PRIDE TOOK OVER, AND INSTEAD OF GUARDING THE MERCY SEAT HE WANTED TO BE GOD AND SIT ON IT HIMSELF. ONE THIRD OF GOD'S CHILDREN FOLLOWED HIM (REV. 12:3-4) AND GOD DID NOT WANT TO DESTROY ONE THIRD OF HIS CHILDREN; INSTEAD HE DESTROYED THAT AGE (THE DINOSAUR AGE).
HE CREATED THIS AGE, ERASED OUR MEMORY AND GAVE EVERYONE A CHOICE, TO FOLLOW HIM, OR SATAN.
THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE NO FREE CHOICE (BECAUSE THEY WENT AGAINST SATAN IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE) ARE HIS ELECT. THEY WERE CHOSEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD (JOHN 15:16).
MAKE A NOTE OF ISAIAH 45:18, JEREMIAH 4:22-27, II PETER 3:5-7.
Ezekiel 31:17 They also went down into hell (GRAVE*) with him unto them that be slain (SPIRITUALLY) with the sword; and they that were his arm (HIS SEED= THE KENITES), that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
31:18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword.
This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD."
NOW HE IS GOING BACK TO PHARAOH HERE.
PHARAOH WAS ONLY A TYPE FOR THE EVENTS THAT WILL TRANSPIRE BEFORE AND AFTER CHRIST'S RETURN.
SATAN AND HIS PEOPLE WILL CEASE TO EXIST (IN THE GREEK) IN THE FUTURE.
SHEOL= GRAVE.
The first occurrence of this word is in Genesis 37:35, where it is rendered "grave".
"THE GRAVE", it is to be distinguished from keber, A grave, or, burying place.
