God's Law Around Before Moses

"The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:" Ezekiel 28:1-2

Here, we have the prophet, 'calling out,' the King of Tyre. Some try and rationalize the King of Tyre is a man, however, as we study the Bible, it will speak for itself.

"Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is NO secret that they can hide from thee: With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness." Ezekiel 28:3-7

This sounds like the same Lucifer from the 14 chapter of Isaiah that wants to be God and dwell in heaven as God but was sent to the earth to die like men!

Not convinced?



"Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thlee in the day that thou wast created." Ezekiel 28:11-13

We should know for sure now, that Ezekiel is referring to Satan the devil. For there were only 4 beings in Eden, the garden of God.
1. Adam
2. Eve
3. The Tree of Life
4. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil

Therefore, if the king of Tyre was there, then he must be one of these entities. We know Jesus is the Tree of Life from the 22nd chapter of Revelation. Adam and Eve were people that are 'currently dead and gone back to the dust according to Genesis chapter 3. Simple reasoning tells us then, that this Must be the same tree of the knowledge of good and evil under a different title, the king of Tyre. It is no surprise to us Bible study'ers that Satan rules the kingdoms of men, because that is what he offered Jesus after during His temptation in (Luke 4:5-7).

Lastly: "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." Ezekiel 28:14-15

Now we can be sure that we are not talking about a man, the one we are talking about is a cherub angel (just like Satan).

The Conclusion of the Matter:
Iniquity was found in Satan, this is why he was cast out of heaven to the earth.

When?

He was obviously kicked out before the creation of man or very shortly thereafter because he was present in the garden of Eden as we were reminded and Ezekiel chapter 28. Therefore iniquity was found in him (Satan) before Adam sinned.

Iniquity is defined as: Immoral or perverse behavior; Also known as sin or lawlessness.

Sin is also defined as: the transgression of the Law. How? "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin IS the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4

Food4Thought (You do the dishes): If iniquity was found in Lucifer BEFORE  Adam's creation, and iniquity equals sin, then why are Christians walking around saying that THE LAW was not until Moses?

Why do we allow people to call God's law the law of Moses? How is the law that even Satan was punished for Breaking somehow done away with because Jesus came in the flesh?

The answer: God's law is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalms 119:142) and it has Always existed and it will Never be done away with no matter how many Scriptures you twist out of context to your own destruction. (2Peter 3:15-16).

The Law AFTER Jesus (death & ressurection)!

It is commonly taught that the Law of God is now presently nailed to the cross, and it no longer applies to us.
Let us walk thru the NEW Testament and see if the disciples that people credit with informing us that we are not under God's Commandments (mainly Paul) actually followed the laws given to Moses. (Exodus - Deuteronomy)

The Law that most people agree that we no longer have to keep is the Sabbath Day. -The 7th day of the week- This is the proper day for church services, learning how to serve God/recieve salvation, fellowship, prayer, worship, and meditation.
Yes it is true as Christians we should pray and meditate everyday, however, on the Sabbath Day (Saturday) it is mandatory. Just as honoring your mother and father is mandatory.

Now in Acts Chapter 1 when Jesus ascends into heaven in the sight of the disciples it has been 40 days since His death and ressurection. In chapter 2 the disciples attend the feast of Pentecost (as instructed in the law).

By the time we get to Chapter 13, it is around 40AD, roughly 10 years after Jesus died and was ressurected. Saul has killed some believers, then is converted on the road to Damascus, taught by Christ and is now finally seperated to do what he has been called by God to do. And what did he do while preaching to the church in Antioch:

"Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia... But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down."

Notice not just Paul but his company also went on the sabbath day.
"And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience."
We all know and agree about what Paul said and preached here. He ran down the history of my ancestors from Moses down to Jesus. He explained how Jesus fulfilled the promises made to the fathers, and he preached Jesus Christ for the remession of sins. What is important here is 'when' he did his 'preaching to the masses.' After Paul's sermon the 'Gentiles' approched him to hear the Gospel. Let's see what day Paul decided to meet with them:
"And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath." (v.42)

Not tomrrow, not next week on Sunday (what some call the christian sabbath). On the next sabbath. On God's Sabbath day the 7th day of the week the Gentiles came to learn about Christ.

So they agreed to come together on the next Sabbath. So let us see what happend on the next sabbath:

"And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God." (v.44)

This is Antioch, a Gentile city. Outside of the land of Judea. And the whole city came to "Hear the Word of God" on the Sabbath day; taught by the Apostle Paul.

May the Lord add a blessing to reading of His Word...
