Child of Abraham, Child of God (Part 3)

In as much as this is said to apply to Lucifer (meaning, light bearer), who is also known as the Satan and the Devil, this passage of scripture is about the king of Babylon. However, what is also very interesting about this statement is that it also describes the thoughts that very likely possessed the heart of Eve as she pondered whether to eat of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. It appears to be doubtful that Adam in his state of innocence was pondering about a political coup to storm heaven. We can conclude with some confidence that the only reason Adam ate of the forbidden fruit is he saw Eve eat of the fruit and not die. Naturally, like most men who cannot keep their eyes off a beautiful woman, Adam had all eyes on Eve. Eve was beautiful, more beautiful than any woman who has come after her, as we could imagine, since none of the molecules within her body would have been affected by sin. Eve alone was sculptured by God Himself.

While it is important to understand the Eve was absolutely stunning and reflected the image of God (Genesis 1:27), it is more important at this juncture to grasp that there is a strong probability this portion of scripture in Isaiah might not refer to Satan and his fall from Heaven. Even if there is a possibility of such thoughts having entered the heart of Eve once the Serpent had beguiled her (Gen 6:1-6), it is doubtful that this passage of scripture is referring to her. This scripture has to be a reference to a human being, but most exegetes tend to see this as a veiled reference to the fall of Satan from Heaven. However, there is another person in the Bible to whom this particular text in all likelihood refers.

From a strictly literal sense, this poetic form of revelatory text appears most likely to refer to the time that Nimrod decided to build a tower towards Heaven. Like quite a number of matters when it comes to forging truth from the Bible and letting scripture interpreting scripture, there is not much biblical evidence that Nimrod actually was the one who lead a rebellion against the Most High.  What we do know, Nimrod is described as a mighty hunter before the Lord and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel (Genesis 10:9-10). Events that occurred at Babel did however change the course of history:
