Lamentation for the Fallen One?

Ezekiel 28:11-19 

11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD:

"You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.

16 "By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.

17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.

18 "You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.

19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
You have become a horror,
And shall be no more forever."'"

This lament of woe was for more than a fallen king of Tyre.  It was of the one who was in the Gard of Eden, made to be perfectly wise and beautiful until pride lifted him up and he was cast down (Isaiah 14:12-14).  The picture of the king of fallen Tyre in her pride and defiance against the LORD is a type of parable almost about the anointed cherub, satan, who was there in the beginning of man’s creation with God until he talked Eve into doubting God’s word to her through Adam and brought him also into disobedience through that same deception (2 Corinthians 11:3).  The evil one spoken of here was made as an outwardly beautiful angelic being with an array of jewels as a covering and evidently sounding musically appealing.  He walked in God’s presence before the throne (Job 1:6-7, 2:1-2) as an observer of man until he fell in arrogant pride from God’s good graces.  Until that time he was still as perfect outwardly, but the evil of pride to stand against God and His creation brought eternal judgment on him as he sought to destroy God’s good creation with more lies (Genesis 3:2-4) and deceit through pride (Revelation 12:9, 17).  He will be held accountable and judged to condemnation in the end through the Messiah as promised (Genesis 3:15), however, which brings hope and restoration to God’s creation of man and all the rest (Romans 8:21-22)!  The king of Tyre was cast out for trading with the known world across the sea, but this one will be cast out for trading the truth for a lie () and that profane thing was cat out of the mountain of God where He is worshiped forever and ever (Revelation 21:3, 22, 27, 22:3-5).  No blasphemous proud being can exist there before God’s face.  No lies can abide in that place.  No self worship of vanity can vie for attention there.  Just as the ruler of Tyre was cast down to be humbled in judgment, so will that one be dethroned from his selfish and corrupt ambition.  Just as that one defiled God’s sanctuary with idolatry and immortality among God’s people, so will the adversary who defiles the humble adoration of the Creator be judged and cast out forever in the everlasting fire.  All will likewise look on at the horror in astonishment of the one who sought to seat himself above God as if he were the creator but will be nothing to anyone anymore.  But there will be no lamentation for that fallen one.  Amen!
