FULL OF WISDOM. Eze. 28:12 Filled to the brim with the wisdom of the Lord. Full, in the sense of having received the fullness of his ability to receive. Most definitely not all the fullness of the wisdom of the Lord, but to a capacity which made him a very wise being. However he did not use his God given wisdom to keep him out of trouble. Pride entered in, his heart was exalted and that holy wisdom was corrupted. Eze. 28:17 Consequently, he lost his high and holy status in the courts of heaven. He was cast to the ground. Jesus remarked that He beheld this casting down, this fall of Satan, when he fell as lightening. Luke 10:18 In his fall he became the god of this world and will continue in that capacity until the end of the age. 2 Cor. 4:4.
He is the prince of the power of the air over this world. His spirit is that which is so evident in this age of disobedience. Eph. 2:2 He will once again be cast down from heaven after a brief insurrection and a quick battle. Rev. 12:7-9 Michael (who is like God), and could be none other than the Lord Jesus, appeared as the Archangel Michael. Jesus is the commander in chief of the heavenly host. Not all angels are created angels. The term angel has a broad meaning and in its simplicity it means a messenger, heavenly or earthly. Michael is the Archangel of resurrection. He contended with the devil over the body of Moses, not to bury it but to resurrect it. Jude 9 We know Moses was resurrected and lives in heaven for he appeared with Elijah on the mount of transfiguration and conversed with the Lord Jesus concerning the up coming events of His life which would soon take place in Jerusalem. Mt. 17:3 Luke 9:30-31.
PERFECT IN BEAUTY. Every creation of the Lord has this seal and stamp upon it. He made all things beautiful, in their original creation. Ecc. 3:11 Adam and Eve, created in the image and likeness of the Lord must have been people of a gorgeous countenance. The mark of beauty was to be upon everything used to worship the Lord. For instance, the garments of the high priest were to be ìfor glory and for beauty.î Ex. 28:2 In its beginning, Jerusalem was considered to be the perfection of beauty, for in her the glory of the Lord had been revealed.. Ps. 50:2 The Lord had bestowed such beauty and majesty upon Jerusalem that her reputation was well known. He placed His comeliness upon her but she did not respect the work of the Lord and took pride in her own beauty, consequently loosing both, the beauty of the Lord and her own, to licentiousness. Eze. 16:14-15 Tyre, Lucifer, Jerusalem, Babylon and the antichrist as well all bear a beauty which appeals to mankind, but in the end they loose it. Sin is deceptive in its appeal and appearance of beauty as something which is most desirable but its ways are the ways of death. Eze. 18:20.
