The Destruction of Satan

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, "Thus says the Lord GOD, Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas"; Yet you are a man and not God, Although you make your heart like the heart of God.
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is a match for you.
By your wisdom and understanding, you have acquired riches for yourself and have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.
By your great wisdom, by your trade, you have increased your riches and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Because you have made your heart like the heart of God,
Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the most ruthless of the nations, and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.
They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
Will you still say, I am a god, in the presence of your slayer, though you are a man and not God, in the hands of those who wound you?
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers, for I have spoken! declares the Lord GOD!
Again the word of the LORD came to me saying, son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, "Thus says the Lord GOD, you had the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; the lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; and the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, was in you. On the day that you were created, they were prepared.
You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until unrighteousness was found in you.
By the abundance of your trade, you were internally filled with violence, and you sinned; therefore I have cast you as profane from the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, that they may see you.
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore, I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you.
All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have become terrified and you will cease to be forever."
Ezekiel 28
___________o0o___________
How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!
For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see you shall narrowly look on you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
Isaiah 14
